It’s mid-January, and even with the wellness train chugging full steam ahead, “new year, new you, new workout routine” can become a tough mantra to stick to. As someone who believes that chic gear is the ultimate physical motivator, when it comes to your home, I present to you: the humble exercise mat.
I like them for a number of reasons. 1) It’s freezing outside, and the thought of bundling up for a gym run sounds like unnecessary torture. A mat lets you do everything — from stretches to strength training — in the cozy confines of your own home. 2) They’re versatile, working on virtually any floor surface — whether that's a full-fledged wellness room or simple spare corner — and roll up neatly for storing when needed.
