Better Than A Yoga Mat: Our Premium Jump Rope Mat is more durable and has more cushion than a standard yoga mat. It's designed for jump rope workouts from jump rope professionals. Unlike yoga mats, it's made from 1/4" high-density vinyl foam. Its soft surface minimizes joint stress and rope rebound helping you to maintain a smooth rhythm during your workout. Reduces Impact: The 1/4" high-density foam absorbs impact when jumping on hard surfaces such as concrete, pavement, wood floors and tile floors. It acts as a thin, soft barrier between your feet and the ground, while maintaining the integrity needed to perfect your wildest jump rope moves workout after workout.
