POWER GUIDANCE Ab Exercise Mat - Sit Up Pad - Abdominal & Core Trainer Mat for Full Range of Motion Ab Workouts

Cool mat. Isolates the abs

Nice firm foam, seems well made.

Good support doesn't slip and very sturdy

Perfect to help the arch in my back whilst doing workouts.

As others have stated, yes this is considerably firmer than the ab mats we use in Crossfit. I also use it as a knee pad when doing half push ups...I can already tell after a bit of use that this will help to break it in a bit.The extra firmness means that you have to be more controlled in the decent of a sit up, but that isn't a bad thing & means that you use more muscles. This may also make it better suited to larger users (i'm 6') - petite ladies might find it a bit too firm/deep.The underside has a good amount of grip & doesn't slide even when used on a laminate floor - spot on.Overall the quality is very good - this will last a long time.

Good product but poor customer service. Contacted the makers for advice and got no reply.

I always had issues doing sit-ups on a hard floor as my spine would feel like it is grinding against it. I've previously just used a pillow before thinking it would do the trick, but I find myself sliding about. This gives my spine the proper support and comfort it needs to do my sit-ups! It's a simple product, but it's worth it.

I can't use it! I am 70 years old, and can't run anymore, since I destroyed my knee, so I need some exercise to prevent my gut hanging out, but anywhere below my knees doesn't work, so this mat got put next to my cupboard: anybody want an unused exercise mat?
