For me, the mat does not provide the desired properties. Firstly, it is always slippery the more you sweat. This is due to the nature of the surface. Other mats are better here. Secondly, it provides too little damping, particularly in exercises with localized stresses. After the first sinking is virtually no attenuation available. Postive: Looks nice, sufficiently long and easy. For exercises in the studio with a hard surface is not recommended.
