Folding Exercise/Stretching Mat | SPRI TFM-2R 6 X 2 Thick & Soft Cushioned Floor Mat

Steve — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:37:10 +0000

Here’s a high quality, relatively expensive exercise mat for those who prefer extra cushioning for their floor exercises.

At 72″ x 24″ this mat is larger than most, allowing a 6 foot tall user to stretch out fully.

The mat’s durable vinyl surface is as easy to clean as wiping down a weight bench. It will not gather dirt and oil like cheaper foam-only gym mats.

The single fold design and carrying handles are convenient for storage and transport.

This mat may not be the best choice for Yoga routines as the 1.5″ padding can affect balance during standing poses. It’s best for stretching and toning exercises performed while lying down.

Nintendo Wii Fit Exercise Game 5-In-1 Fitness Bundle | Battery Pack, Sleeve, Mat, Travel Bag & Textured Socks

Steve — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 02:46:35 +0000

There’s been some confusion about the contents of this package. The Wii 5-In-1 Fitness Bundle includes five accessories for use with Nintendo’s Wii Fit, but not software program itself. Previous product descriptions indicated that the package includes three pairs of textured foot socks — it actually only comes with one pair. Online store product descriptions have now been updated.

The Wii 5-In-1 Fitness Bundle includes:

Rechargeable Battery Pack
USB Charging Cable
Jeli Sleeve
Fitness Mat
Travel Bag
One Pair Textured Foot Socks

The Textured Foot Socks are made of high quality cotton on top and strong rubber on the bottom, providing both comfort and extra traction.

Made of durable nylon, the Travel Bag is ideal for taking the Wii Fit Balance Board (not included) on the go.

The Jeli Sleeve fits snugly over the balance board to keep it safe and free from dings and scratches.

The Fitness Mat reduces impact on floors and the body and provides extra support and comfort. Made from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it will provide years of extended use.

The Rechargeable Battery Pack & USB Charging Cable provide the necessary power to keep the Wii Fit Balance Board at maximum strength. A fully charged Battery Pack will provide hours of use at maximum power.

This bundle will help maximize the Wii Fit experience and keep you motivated. These or similar accessories can be purchased separately, but this is a convenient one-stop option with one shipping charge.

If you don’t already have the Wii Fit program or need some new fitness gaming challenges, see our EA Sports Active review.

Yogamatic Yoga/Workout Mat | Eco-friendly Custom Printed Mats with Inspirational Designs

Steve — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:02:40 +0000

Tired of your dull and uninspiring yoga mat? Here’s a unique fitness accessory that will add some creativity and personality to your workouts.

Yogamatic uses global artists young and old to design an array of expressive mats intended to reflect your individual spirit, taste and personal interests.

Each high quality image is printed edge-to-edge in vibrant color. The resilient high resolution Dri-Touch ink is solvent free, eco-friendly and will hold up to pressure and moisture. The bottom of the mat is lined with slip resistant tread to keep it securely in place during a workout.

Yogamatic is truly an environmentally conscious company. The sustainable natural rubber in these mats uses partially recycled materials and can be disposed of without harm to the environment. They will even pay shipping charges to recycle a worn mat for you with purchase of a new one. This may also be a financially motivated, cost-saving program for the company but either way it’s a win-win.

The mat measures 73″ x 24″ and is 3/8″ thick. It comes with a yoga bag for easy transport.

Everlast Folding Exercise Floor Mat | Comfortable Thick Foam for Fitness Training, Yoga & Stretching

Steve — Fri, 15 May 2009 00:53:06 +0000

This Everlast exercise mat is among the highest-rated available, so we were interested in what makes it so popular.

The main attraction is the 1-5/8 inch bonded foam padding; thicker with more cushion than most mats, yet not too soft. In addition to comfort it provides insulation from cold floors.

The non-absorbent, easy to clean shell resists moisture and is perfect for stretching, yoga, Wii Fit or any DVD exercise routine.

It also absorbs noise which is ideal for those living in an apartment or condo with neighbors below.

The mat measures 24″ x 72″, folds smoothly to 24″ x 36″ and includes sewn-on handles for easy transport. Some prefer mats with two folds because they store more compactly. The advantage to one fold is more stability and comfort when in use.

This is not the most important exercise related purchase you’ll make, but it’s much preferred to cheap mats or exercising on carpet.
