Product description The Hardy Ab Mat is designed to give you full range of motion in working your abdominal, back and oblique muscles whilst providing support and protect your lower back to reduce discomfort. Allowing athletes of all fitness levels to perform more effective sit-ups and crunches. No More Tailbone Bruising or Chafing:A problem solved - this ab mat comes with an attached fold-out foam pad to prevent the mat moving during sit ups whilst preventing abrasion to your tailbone, even during the most rigorous high rep workouts. Please note the ab mat should only be used with the pad folded out.High Quality Construction:Made with a high density foam core that retains its shape and will not wear with repeated use, unlike cheaper squishy foam ab mats. The mat cover is made from a durable, quality PU leather that won't slip even during vigorous workouts. PU (Polyurethane) leather is also known as a more greener alternative to PVC in both production and aftercare. It's light weight makes it inherently more breathable than PVC and allows it to adjust to body temperature.When to use the Ab MatWhile our sit up mat was primarily designed to offer ergonomic support and protection for the lower back during abdominal work, it can also be used for many other exercises - Use the pad to support your knees during ground stability work, as a rest for head or handstand training, or while you are practicing pushups.Portable and Lightweight - The abmat's size is 30 x 36 x 6.5cm when the protective pad is folded in, making it compact for easy storage. Suitable for Crossfit boxes or home use on nearly all surfaces outside and inside.

Not Effective
Cushion is much too large and too hard. Hurts my back. I use many others at CrossFit gyms and they are quite a bit smaller and softer cushion that Moldavia to your back. This one just hurts. I’ve had it for six months and tried to break it in but to no avail.

This is a superb product, well made and great value.I always suffer with bruising on my coccyx when doing sit ups, so the additional pad is really comfortable and supportive to protect against this.The curved pad protects the lumbar spine by keeping it neutral.It is light enough to easily take travelling for those HIIT sessions in the hotel room!The only thing it can't do is rep out the sit ups for you... you'd get 10 stars for that!

The mat is great at protecting my coccyx bone, which otherwise would always hurt; that is, even though it's not very thick; it's stiff enough. As for the abs mat, although it is indeed stiff, I have found it perfectly fit for purpose. If it matters, I'm 186cm tall, i.e. 6'1''.

Lower back support
Great for tucking into lower back when doing sit-ups. Can also turn 90 degrees and just use mat for other floor exercises e.g leg raises.

Excellent product, would recommend to anyone.
Bigger than a standard ab mat, the Hardy Strength mat looks and feel a quality product. The unique fold away section makes it a pleasure to use when extended and it does not move around. Folding away makes it easy for storage or transport the box! If you are a keen CrossFitter and have your own collection of kit at home, this is a worthy addition.

It works brilliantly and provides a great workout
Bought this product because I have been suffering the dreaded tailbone chaffing! It works brilliantly and provides a great workout. I have a couple of Abmats, including a Rogue official one and this is every bit as good. Great quality and means I can now get a great Ab workout without the discomfort. Highly recommend...

Fab Ab Mat
I love this Ab mat! It’s super-comfy and perfect for my PT business. It keeps my back in the correct position and doesn’t move around when I’m crunching and doing other core exercises. It’s a huge improvement from the mat without the extra fold out part. I highly recommend it. Also delivered the next day! Taryn and Shane
