Elite Sportz Equipment Ab Mat with Resistance Band High Density Foam Mat for Abs Non Slip Curved Core

This pad is awesome. Usually I can't do very many situps because my back and neck start hurting. Using this pad, the only strain is on my abdominal muscles, and my back gets a pleasant little stretch while I'm at it. My kids have very weak cores and can't do sit ups, so their physical therapist had them put a pillow under their backs and they still struggled, but with this pad, my 9 year old daughter can do them without assistance. She feels proud of her accomplishment and is actually doing her exercises more often. Read more

This one is similar to the other abdominal sit-up support mats I had purchased for others and myself. The quality, foam density, size are all similar to the other 2 brands I have used at the gym. I have seen big, tall and small stature persons using them. I will buy this brand again because it is cheaper than the others plus it comes with a nice 4" wide resistance band that is very useful to me. The company also sent me a link with some workout tips and etc, I don't need it but they may be useful info for people new to training and wanting to know more working out techniques. To me that is a little extra service and care. Their subsequent follow up emails soliciting for customer satisfaction and reviews were friendly and not annoying. I also found another use for this mat. Currently I am using this in my car :) to fill the bucket seat that is scooped so that it levels my car seat cushion. Read more

I use this not for the gym, but to pad the back of my car seat. It serves my purpose. Read more

I have used the sit up mat multiple times now, and it definitely helps support lower back during sit ups. If you are trying to cycle through a lot of reps of sit ups, an ab mat such as this will help you no doubt. Only con I have with this ab mat, is the fact that the bottom of it is smooth, so if you are working out on a smooth surface, the mat will slide out from underneath you during your sit ups. Other than that, this is a solid product. Thank you. Read more

I bought this pad to do abdominal exercises for my husband who has 2 diascal hernias and it works perfectly for him, it is comfortable and supports weight Read more

Bought this mat to replace one I had borrowed from my gym. This is way thicker on the tailbone end than I wanted. Instead of making situps more comfortable, this made them worse because it's very firm and not shaped well for my back personally. I am a petite 5'2" woman and this was too thick for me. For one, it means the mat slides away every time I do a sit up, for another it means my shoulder blades can't even touch the ground when I use this. Not made for small bodies! Read more
