Allrounder gymnastics mat
The gym mat can be used for almost all training exercises. Unlike conventional normal sports mats, they have a greater thickness and better elasticity. You sink into them better than thin mats, so they are hardly suitable for balance exercises, for example.
Gymnastic mats provide very good support for hands and feet and adhere very well to the floor. Because of their striking strength, they are very suitable especially for floor training.
If the back or joints should be spared during the workout, a gymnastic mat is recommended because of its better quality and comfort. Gymnastics mats are used in many gyms, sports clubs and schools and convince by long durability even with regular heavy use.

If you need a sturdy and large gymnastics mat, you usually have to expect a price of 200 €. For this you get good quality and durability. Large gymnastics mats have a length of 200 cm and a width of 100 cm, so even taller people can easily do their exercises on them.
A thickness of at least 2.5 cm ensures comfortable training and a pleasant feeling of warmth. A high-quality gymnastics mat gently cushions jumps and protects knees and elbows when propped up.
Balance exercises, on the other hand, are more difficult to perform on a gymnastics mat because there is hardly any stability on such a mat.
With just under seven kilos of its own weight, a gymnastics mat is not too light, but it is ideal for use in the studio or at home.
Difference between yoga mats and gymnastic mats
Among all training mats, yoga mats have the lightest weight. They are also much thinner and also less shock absorbent.
The main task of such a mat is to prevent slipping away, so not only the surface is extra anti-slip, but also the lower side, which should adhere firmly to the floor for good security.
Numerous yoga mats have line patterns on the top so that you can align yourself with them during exercises. In addition, yoga mats are easy to roll together and easy to take with you. Extra yoga mats for travel are even thinner and have less weight than mats for home training or studio.
When it comes to slip resistance, yoga mats are hard to beat. Users of such mats report the excellent grip that yoga mats have to offer hands and feet.
