Roll Up Mats



Roll up mats have great utility and can be used almost anywhere where someone prefers a soft space instead of a hard floor. They can be described as an attractive, self contained, take-anywhere section of padding. Although special ones are manufactured and are excellent for storing jig-saw puzzles, as when a puzzle is laid out on a mat they can simply be rolled up and moved to another room or stored in the closet, they chiefly are used to provide a soft area on which to exercise. The mats can easily be rolled up for storage in the home, office, gym locker, or car, and unrolled to create a user space with a soft padded floor anywhere that a hard floor creates a risk of injury.



Yes, these mats are the weapon of first resort when it comes to preventing injuries. Jumping up and down causes wear on joints, especially in the feet and legs. Although a physicist would measure impact in Newtons, the person experiencing impact measures it in sore muscles and stiff joints. These can be greatly diminished when a cushion is used to absorb the energy of the impact, sparing the knees, ankles, and related joints, tendons, and muscles. In fact, energy travels through the body upon impact with a hard floor much like when a billiard ball strikes a line of other balls and stops dead in its tracks. The energy is transferred through all the balls until the last one is propelled forward all by itself. But the body is not so efficient, and energy is dissipated at each joint, up the legs, hips and vertebrae, all the way up to the top of the head. A soft mat cushion transfers the impact energy into the rubber, instead, helping to spare the body.

Made with closed cell polyfoam using advanced elastomeric materials, workout mats make a soft and pliablecushion.. Used in recreation rooms, stages, gyms, or yoga classes, they transform what could be a difficult and very uncomfortable experience into a safe and enjoyable time. They often have moisture resistant coatings so that they are not contaminated by sweat and water. Anti-bacterial and fungicidal ingredients that are incorporated into the outer material prevent germs and mildew that could stain or cause odors. Yoga enthusiasts particularly like them, because they are just the right size, covering areas from 16 to 30 square feet (24 is typical) where floor stretching routines can be performed with ease.
