A fitness mat is a mat that is placed underneath when practicing yoga. Yoga is suitable for all kinds of people, and there are many kinds of yoga mats that accompany practitioners.
1. Look At The Thickness
Generally speaking, it is recommended for beginners to choose a 6mm thick yoga mat, because a thicker one can provide more protection to the body and avoid injury. But don't blindly pursue high thickness. After all, yoga is a sport that attaches great importance to balance. Too thick mats can easily lead to an unstable center of gravity, which is not conducive to the perception of action. Thickened mats on the market are generally used for fitness exercises such as sit-ups (this type of mat is actually a fitness mat). Yoga mats with medium thickness are generally around 4mm and 5mm, which are suitable for advanced users, but beginners should not consider it! As for the 1.5mm-3mm thin yoga mat, it is more suitable for advanced people, and because of its lightness, friends who go to the gym more can consider it.
2. Look At The Type
Different types of mats have different requirements. Therefore, when beginners choose a yoga mat, they also need to consider the type of yoga they learn. If you are practicing yoga that focuses on soft training, you will need to sit on a mat. At this time, you should choose a thicker and softer yoga mat. If you are practicing yoga with relatively large movements such as strength yoga and Flow Yoga, you need to buy a thinner and harder yoga mat. If the cushion is too soft, it is not conducive to the performance of the movement. If the yoga practiced is between the previous two, it is best to choose a thinner one. Because the thick pad will have a "distortion" feeling when doing some movements.
3. Look At Practicality
The yoga practice in the promotion stage pays more attention to the practice of introspection. All yoga postures are basically understood, but muscle stretching, skeletal strength, and breathing may need to be diligent at this stage, so the yoga mat pays more attention to the guiding function practicability. Only by practicing precise yoga postures can you better understand the movement of each cell in the body.
