Exercise Equipment Mat

Monsoon must-have: Home workout equipment

Is a great tool to clock serious cardio hours without even leaving your bedroom. 30 minutes of light skipping burns about 350 calories per hour, a lot higher than the brisk walk around the neighbourhood. Add to it the fact that you don't need an expensive gym cardio machine, or an open park to get your cardiovascular exercise, and skipping is a great alternative for the monsoon months. A simple skipping rope costs about Rs. 200 to Rs. 500, and will help chalk out some time-effective short workouts.

However, if it's the you prefer, then you'll have to shell out some cash and empty out a fair amount of space. Cardio machines like elleptical trainers, treadmills, and exercycles will cost you anything from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 4 lakhs, depending on the brand, detail and make. Many outdoor athletes prefer to rely on cardio machines in the monsoons and winters to keep up performance levels. When it comes to simple daily workout pursposes though, we see little to no reason for a heavy-duty cardio machine at home. Unless, of course space and money is of no concern to you.

, on the other hand, work well if you want to take bodyweight workouts to the next level with weighted exercises, or simply want to continue the gym momentum with weight lifting ability. A pair of chrome dumbbells will cost you approximately Rs. 250-300 per kg, while a pair of soft dumbbells with grip start at Rs. 800 for a pair of 3lb. Dumbbells take very little storage space, and minimal upkeep. Keep them free of dust, at a designated place (next to the skipping rop and an exercise mat, maybe?) and you've got the perfect workout gear for a full cardio+strength workout.

work for somewhat more serious exercisers, although even if you lift 12-20 pounds (roughly 7-10kgs), you can still find use for them. We do suggest that you buy a workout bench, since barbells require careful positioning for flat back exercises. Again, the plates are another cost here. The cost depends on the bar's weight, length, plates, collars (clips to prevent plates from sliding off) and workout bench. All in all, look to spending nothing less than Rs20,000. The workout bench should be adjustable to make exercises like incline press and decline press possible.

helps keep joint aches at bay even when you perform floor contact exercises. Think of the modified push-ups where you place bent knees on the floor while lowering and pushing your upper body.

I bought these mats to line my dog pen with and they are fabulous! Here’s why:

1. They’re durable and springy/squishy without being so heavy that two people or a trolley are needed to move them.

2. They’re corrugated, so they provide a surface with good traction. This means they’d make pretty good bathroom or pool mats, too.

3. They have a great surface area that should accommodate most needs.

4. They’re reasonably priced.

Although I don’t use mine this way, their springiness and shape would make them good equipment mats. They’re too short for yoga, but if you’re looking to line a larger area for floor exercise or a child’s play area, these mats are a good choice.

When I read the dimensions of this mat, I knew it was wide enough for my exercise machine. Also, I wanted a mat that was thick enough and the description fit what I wanted in a mat–durable!

After having this mat underneath my Air Strider for one week with 20 minute sessions, this mat has not torn apart and no cuts marks have worn through from the machine (This machine is heavy).

Hopefully, this mat will last a long time with much more usage. Presently, I am satisfied with this mat.

The Super Mat is really good quality but it was too short for my Schwinn Stationary Bike. I was disappointed that I purchased the mat because Amazon put the two together (it was a suggestion). I was given the impression that it would be a good fit but it wasn’t. My suggestion is you double check the length of the exercise equipment before purchasing. I wish I double checked instead of counting on Amazon to suggest the proper mat to go with my bike.
