Exercise Workout Mats Q&A

Is there a difference between an exercise mat vs. yoga mat?

Yes, as the best workout mats typically are thicker to support body weight exercises and impact workouts. Yoga-specific mats offer little cushion and focus on providing stability, meaning they are often thinner than average exercise mats.

What are the best exercise style-specific mats?

Exercise-specific workout mats are ideal when focusing on a particular type of exercise rather than general workouts. The design and materials in the exercise-specific mat ensure a design that meets the challenges these athletes face. Folding mats work best for stunt workouts like tumbling and cheerleading. Other styles of mats work better for specific workouts like martial arts, plyometric workouts, or weight training.

What are some features of the best cardio workout mats?

The best cardio exercise mats focus on providing impact absorption for athletes, protecting the lower body joints in the knees, ankles, and hips. They also need significant durability to stand up to repeated workouts without showing wear and tear.

What kind of workout floor should I exercise on?

Selecting the proper type of workout floor depends on the exercises you plan to do. If you will do high-impact workouts, cushioning is key to protecting your body. For low-impact workouts, firm materials that deliver excellent traction are ideal.

How firm should rubber exercise flooring be?

Rubber exercise flooring is available in multiple firmness measurements. Look at the Shore A hardness rating for the rubber floor to determine firmness, ranging from 47 to 90. Higher numbers in the range are firmer, while lower numbers are less firm. Weightlifting workouts require substantial rubber flooring, while aerobic or cardio exercises are better with less firm rubber surfaces.
