I'd had my previous yoga mat for a few years and it started falling apart (little pieces falling off everywhere), so it was time to shop for a new one. My old one was appropriate for its original intended use (dance stretches), but recently I started doing a lot of at-home HIIT / circuit training Youtube videos and I found that the previous yoga mat was not thick enough to support kneeling or lying down exercises, wasn't wide enough if I was doing something like plank jacks that requires lateral motion, and wasn't long enough for exercises extending the arms and legs like superman. After many hours of research, I landed on this Gruper mat. Its 1/2 inch thickness provides enough support for the aforementioned exercises, and its length and width give me more space to move. It's probably a bit bulkier to carry around if you're taking it to classes, but I don't intend on ever taking it outside the apartment. I was also relieved that there was no odor. My only complaints are that it can be a little slippery when my hands and feet are sweaty, and the edge of the mat is curved rather than straight. But those are kind of minor problems, so overall I am pretty happy with the mat. Let's see how long it holds up!
