The SmithShaper Squat Mat Knee Mat functions as both a leg muscle targeting tool, when performing stand alone squats or rolling wall squats (using the optional SmithShaper FIT or PRO model Ab Squat Rider/Roller multipurpose exerciser), and as a protective exercise knee pad. It folds to triple thickness for knee or elbow cushioning when working out This makes it one of the most versatile exercise kneeling pads available. The Squat Mat is comfortable, pliable, and durable. It also resists odors and oils. This fitness mat measures 30.75-inch x 14-inch x 7.5mm thick. It’s constructed of eco-friendly nitrile rubber (NBR).
Use the Squat Mat in your fitness routine in the following ways:
1. Fold along its seams to use as a thick knee mat / kneeling pad measuring 14” x 10.5” x 0.90”. When folded it provides excellent padding and cushioning for knees, head, hips, elbows, forearms, or back when doing floor exercises. It’s also designed for use with the optional SmithShaper Ab Squat Rider for abdominal rolls, core crushers, walking planks, & more.
2. Wide knee yoga poses – Roll the Squat Mat along its long axis to become a 30.75″ x 4.75″ x 0.90” kneeling pad to cushion knees that are up to 2 feet apart.
3. As a leg muscle targeting tool for squats – sculpt & strengthen specific leg muscle groups. The Squat Mat reminds of proper foot positioning when performing stand alone squats or SmithShaper Squats with the optional Ab Squat Rider. To use, stand on the 30-inch mat with the muscle groups to target in mind. Place your feet in the corresponding pattern and begin your squat routine.
4. As an efficient 30-inch mini mat for stretching. Adds a soft 7.5mm thick layer of separation between your back and the floor. The Squat Mat spans from the rear of the head to the tailbone of the typical 6-foot male. This workout knee mat is pliable, so it can be bunched up to pad to a specific spot. Its easier to transport than a bulky Yoga mat.
NOTE: If you require the very best available knee cushioning / comfort for exercise, we suggest the OPTIONAL SmithShaper Super Pad which is our premium comfy & protective pad for knees & elbows.
