WellnessMats Review and Giveaway
Awhile ago, I had the opportunity to review a mat for my
kitchen which I had never had before. It made standing in the kitchen so much
more comfortable and I still love it. I was recently contacted by WellnessMats to try one of their
fitness mats. It is thick like one of the mats in your kitchen but looks more
like a yoga mat.
I had never heard of one of these for fitness before so I
was very interested. Some of my favorite exercises to do on a mat are planks,
side planks and a few weight lifting exercises. I put my fitness mat in the
basement to try out next to my treadmill.
I have been using the mat to do my workouts and I have to
say, it is so much more comfortable than on a yoga mat. This mat is 5/8” thick.
My basement floor is tile so it is very hard and cold. This mat makes it a lot
easier for me to exercise without having a painful back while lying on my back
for weights or hands while doing my planks.
The only think that I would change about this mat is that it
is not quite long enough for my preference. It is 4’ long. I would recommend it
being the length of a yoga mat. Also, I think that it would be nice to come in
more fun colors. While brown goes nicely with everything, pink, blue or purple
would be more fun for working out.
This mat retails for $149. They also have a 6’ mat too which
I think would be better if you do exercises that you need to lay down for.
