What are the Best Floor Mats for Kettlebells?

Related Product: Sundance Mat Straight Edge Standard 3/4 Inch x 4x6 Ft.

Kettlebells are an excellent training tool for those wanting a good weight lifting or resistance exercise. A kettlebell is a cast iron or steel ball with a handle attached to the top of it. Working out with kettlebells is a great way to combine light cardio with arm, back, and full body toning, and kettlebells are often less intimidating than a barbell loaded down with weight. A kettlebell workout often combines a number of weight lifting and resistant movements such as a swing and lift, thrusters, press and squat movements, farmer’s walks, and more. 

When working out with kettlebells, the use of a heavy duty mat is recommended to protect your floor and provide a safer and more effective footing. Keep in mind, that the compact design of a kettlebell means that more weight is concentrated into a small space, increasing the risk for damage to a surface on which a weight may be dropped. The best floor mats for kettlebells will absorb the impact from even the heaviest kettlebells being accidentally dropped, and Greatmats offers a number of options from which to choose depending on your space, budget, and other needs and preferences.
