Pilates Exercise Mat: Matwork Pilates is a highly efficient and economical way of doing your Pilates Exercises. You can do them at home, get a group together or join a local group already practicing. If you are beginner, I recommend that you first join a class. Pilates is a very exacting practice (in fact it used to be called “Contrology”) and the practice does what it suggests. It’s important to understand and to learn to control your movements - and classes with a qualified instructor is essential.
A Pilates exercise mat is an essential piece of equipment if you’re serious about your exercise. Of course there is different thickness, and you’ll have to decide which is right for you. I’m a diehard and prefer a thin one, but if you have issues with your spine or knee problems, you will settle for the thicker mat. Mats are usually between 4.8mm (3/16inch) and 15.8mm (5/8 inch).
What are the benefits of using a mat?
• They’re transportable – take them anywhere • They’re comfortable & protect spine, hips and knees • Make a choice thick or thin • Keeps the floor from smelling sweaty • They last for years! • You won’t slip as you could well do on the floor • Easy to clean – kitchen detergent is fine
