If you're looking for a new way to exercise at home, why not try yoga mat workouts? Unlike indoor cycling or weight training, there's no need for equipment and the simple exercises go a long way to helping improve your core stability, strength, balance, and overall fitness. 

A pick of the best yoga mats is essential though. Whether you're looking to do a quick 15-minute yoga session or delve into the world of online workouts, you'll need a yoga mat that can support you all the way. Thick yoga mats made of foam are better for exercises where you'll need more support, such as Pilates, yoga, and core work, while thinner mats made of rubber will be a grippier choice for those wanting to move quickly.
