Abstract
An exercise mat may include a first portion having first and second opposed ends in a longitudinal direction. The first portion has a lateral dimension in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A second portion of the mat has first and second opposed ends in the longitudinal direction. The first end of the second portion may face in a direction of the second end of the first portion. The second portion has a lateral dimension in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The lateral dimension of the first portion may be about 50% to about 100% greater that the lateral dimension of the second portion.
Description
- The present invention is directed generally to exercise mats and systems. More particularly, the present invention is directed to portable exercise mats and systems for facilitating various exercises, including wide-arm pushups.
- Conventional exercise mats are typically rectangular in shape. In order to minimize floor space during exercise, such mats are typically sized such that their width is slightly wider that the shoulder-to-shoulder distance of an average adult. Some rectangular mats are made smaller in order to more closely match the shoulder-to-shoulder distance of petite women or youths. Other rectangular mats are made wider and/or longer to accommodate larger men.
- The aforementioned conventional mats may be used for sit-ups and various other exercises. However, if used for push-ups, these conventional mats may not be wide enough to provide a position for a user's hands. For example, if a user performs wide-arm push-ups, the user's hands will be off the mat and in contact with a floor. It should be understood that the purpose for using the exercise mat may have been to avoid contact with a dirty floor or otherwise undesirable surface.
- While some conventional mats may include marketing or advertising indicia, such mats do not include indicia centered along a length of the mat and/or indicia symmetrically spaced on opposite sides of such a centerline. It may be desirable to provide such indicia to aid a user with alignment of the torso, hands, feet, or the like.
- It may be desirable to provide an exercise mat having a wide portion for accommodating a user's hands during exercises where the user's arms and hands are extended away from the torso.
- According to various aspects, the present disclosure is directed to an exercise mat including a first portion having first and second opposed ends in a longitudinal direction. The first portion has a lateral dimension in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A second portion of the mat has first and second opposed ends in the longitudinal direction. The first end of the second portion may face in a direction of the second end of the first portion. The second portion has a lateral dimension in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The lateral dimension of the first portion may be about 50% to about 100% greater that the lateral dimension of the second portion.
- In accordance with various aspect, the present disclosure is directed to an exercise mat including a first portion having first and second opposed ends in a longitudinal direction. The first portion has a lateral dimension in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A second portion of the mat has first and second opposed ends in the longitudinal direction. The first end of the second portion may face in a direction of the second end of the first portion. The second portion may taper from the first end thereof to the second end thereof. The second portion has a minimum lateral dimension in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The lateral dimension of the first portion may be about 50% to about 100% greater that the minimum lateral dimension of the second portion.
