Do I Really Need A Exercise Or Yoga Mat For P90X

By Brad Gibala On September 17, 2008 Under P90X

I have noticed a couple of people finding the site by searching for "Exercise Mats" or "Yoga Mats." The answer to if you need one is really up to you and your comfort level. If you workout on hard wood floors then you are probably going to want an exercise mat. No need injuring yourself while trying to do yoga or ab ripper if you do not need too.

I have been working out for the most part on the carpeting in my house. It is fine for me. I do have a exercise mat that I occasionally use but its not a comfort thing. When I am doing P90X Yoga X sometimes I begin to slide a little bit on the carpet. This is due to me building up a sweat and drifting when I am doing the "Warrior Poses." The yoga mats give me a little bit better friction so I do not slide anywhere.

The yoga mats are not necessary to do any of the P90X DVD workouts. If you want the extra comfort than go ahead and buy one.
