has not practiced yoga and did not have a professional understanding of yoga mats, but daily exercise will still be covered with a cushion. There are two main reasons:
1. You cannot lie directly on the ground, not only because of sanitation, but also the ground is too hard to hurt your body and spine, so you must lay a cushion.
2. It is okay to live on the first floor in my family, but some people may live on a higher floor. Some aerobic sporting is relatively large. If you jump directly on the floor, it will affect the neighbors downstairs. Therefore A cushion.
I chose yoga mats at the beginning. Like many people, I only consider the thickness and hard and hard level, but after the actual experience, it is found that the anti -slip resistance is the most important thing.
But what it should be explained here is that for our sports fitness, the thickness and softness and hardness also need to be considered.
For those who practice yoga, the thicker and softer the cushion will affect their movements, but for us, I recommend novices to choose a thicker and more elastic cushion, but do not choose a too soft mat In the early stage, you can exercise on this thick pad. I did not count the common yoga mats on the market on the market of
. I have 3 yoga mats I have used, and each material has different materials, including NBR, TPE and PU rubber.
NBR yoga cushion
NBR Material's yoga cushion advantage is that the price is low. Generally, the price of 10mm thickness may be less than 50 yuan. My first cushion is NBR material yoga mat.
is thick and hard, and it is better to recover. Therefore, there is no problem with barefoot running on the yoga pad, but the reason for me to give up is not good. The amplitude exercise is okay, but when doing a slightly larger movement such as "left and right jump", "bow jump", and "hook leg jump", the cushion is easy to move and move.
Of course, if the ground in your home is not smooth, it is okay to use this cushion, but sweat will be immersed in the cushion. If there is no drying, there may be a long time, which will cause bacteria to breed.
TPE Yoga Cushion
TPE Yoga Cushion is better than NBR in terms of environmental protection, but its cost is slightly higher. For example, the same 10mm cushion will be about 100 yuan.
YOTTOY's TPE yoga cushion is my second yoga mat. Because the density is much smaller than that of the NBR, it is slightly worse than the NBR in terms of hardness, but there is no problem with barefoot exercise, and it is important to compare compared to compared My first yoga -oriented, it was much better in non -slip. I did n’t have the problem of yoga cushion sliding when doing a large jumping exercise. At present, my mother is using it.
PU Rubber Yoga Cushion
I currently use the cushion myself is Judson's PU rubber yoga mat. This cushion is also the first choice for yoga athletes. The thickness is only about 5mm, and there will be a very thick specification of 10mm.
The two materials mentioned earlier are more biased towards foam. The PU material is natural rubber. Natural elasticity and softness are not as good as the previous two materials. Smell, and because of the bionic coating on the surface, sweat will not be immersed in the cushion.
For the pU material, it is recommended to use veterans. Do not bare your feet when you do jumping aerobic exercise. Wear shoes on the cushion or the ground for aerobic exercise.
last summarized. For us who are sports and fitness, the cushion of TPE material should be the best choice, but if you are used to wearing shoes (be sure to choose a sports shoes with comfortable sports), you can consider the PU rubber -made cushion cushion As for the NBR material, if it is not limited, I really don't recommend it. After all, it will not become your last sports pad.
Finally, let's talk about the problem of non -slip non -slip NBR material cushion. I don't know if the current NBR material yoga mats have optimized the anti -slip properties, but the experience of experiencing the three material cushions gives me. The reason for the NBR material yoga mat is light. It is easy to "float" on the smooth ground.
