The more you exercise, the more you need a comfortable mat
1. Thickness
- If you're doing a gentle activity (such as Pilates) and are barefoot and exercising on the ground: opt for a mat that is at least 10 mm thick with a soft, comfy texture
- If you do mainly dynamic exercises for strength training, 7 mm is sufficient.
2. Length
For Pilates or strength training, your mat should ideally be as long or longer than your height.
