POWER GUIDANCE Ab Exercise Mat - Sit Up Pad - Abdominal & Core Trainer Mat for Full Range of Motion Ab Workouts

Excellent. Very useful. Very effective b

Cool mat. Isolates the abs

Good support doesn't slip and very sturdy

This is great. Not too high and not too low. I use it for headstand and dragonflag as support cussion. It is firm but still soft enough for the purpose I use it for.

​I bought this product specifically because I have a long-standing lower back issue from an old snowboarding injury. Performing standard sit-ups often resulted in an uncomfortable clicking sensation that caused me pain. ​This purchase has completely solved that problem! ​Key Benefits: ​Targeted Support: It provides the crucial extra padding and support needed for the arch of the lower back. ​Motion Restriction: Crucially, it changes the geometry of the sit-up, effectively removing the specific range of motion that previously triggered my discomfort. I can now do full core workouts without pain. ​Excellent Quality: The build quality is solid, and the size is perfect—it supports the entire lumbar region without being cumbersome. ​If you struggle with lower back discomfort, clicking, or pain when doing crunches or sit-ups, this is an absolutely brilliant piece of equipment. Very happy with this purchase; it has made core strengthening possible again!

Good product but poor customer service. Contacted the makers for advice and got no reply.

I always had issues doing sit-ups on a hard floor as my spine would feel like it is grinding against it. I've previously just used a pillow before thinking it would do the trick, but I find myself sliding about. This gives my spine the proper support and comfort it needs to do my sit-ups! It's a simple product, but it's worth it.

As others have stated, yes this is considerably firmer than the ab mats we use in Crossfit. I also use it as a knee pad when doing half push ups...I can already tell after a bit of use that this will help to break it in a bit. The extra firmness means that you have to be more controlled in the decent of a sit up, but that isn't a bad thing & means that you use more muscles. This may also make it better suited to larger users (i'm 6') - petite ladies might find it a bit too firm/deep. The underside has a good amount of grip & doesn't slide even when used on a laminate floor - spot on. Overall the quality is very good - this will last a long time.
