How Do Gym Mats Help With Your Workout?

A home gym can be expensive, especially if you want to purchase effective equipment that would help you get the best possible workout. Homeowners usually cut corners with accessories and gym items they perceive as not important. Items like gym mats, proper lights, etc, are often cut from the shopping list when homeowners plan their gyms. At Ezy Mats, we encourage all homeowners to install mats in their gyms and here are some reasons why:

 

  1. Easier on Your Body

 

When you exercise on a hard surface, you add extra pressure to your muscles, ligaments, and joints. The hard ground won’t yield to your body’s weight and pressure so your muscles, bones, and joints will have to absorb the pressure from the workouts. That will cause excessive strain over time and weaken your body instead of strengthening it. That’s why you need good gym mats for your workout.

 

  1. More Energy For the Workout

 

When your body absorbs the impact from your exercise, it has to expend considerable amount of energy to support the weight and pressure. People who work out on hard surfaces get tired more easily and can’t perform as many reps. You’ll have less energy to exercise and won’t see results as quickly. However, if you install good quality gym mats, you won’t have to worry about this problem. The mat will provide enough padding to absorb impact but still be firm so you would have the right balance.

 

  1. You’re Less Likely to Get Injured

 

Accidents can happen in a gym, especially if you’re not being supervised by a professional. If you have a padded floor surface, you’ll have more protection from injuries and accidents. For example, if you slip and fall during your martial arts practice, you won’t suffer any broken bones. A hard floor will cause serious injuries, which is why you should install gym mats for your own safety.

 

  1. Better For Your Gym Equipment

 

Mats are also safer for gym equipment like weights and dumbbells. When you drop them on the hard floor, they might develop dents and cracks. When you drop them on a padded floor, you don’t have to worry about any cosmetic damage to your equipment.

 

Gym Mats are Affordable

 

Good quality gym mats aren’t really that expensive. They’re easy to install so you don’t need to hire a professional for the job if you’re on a tight budget. Our jigsaw mats just lock into place and don’t require any glue to help them stay put. You can remove the mats if you want to move your home gym or don’t want to have a gym anymore. These mats are also very easy to clean and maintain so you don’t to worry about these floors becoming unhygienic.

 

You don’t need to look elsewhere for excellent quality gym mats. We at Ezy Mats have a large collection of them and you can get in touch with us at (02) 97187424 or contact us through this form if you want to know more.

Mayweather Wants June Flight

Floyd Mayweather has come out fighting again indicating that he want to flight Conor McGregor in June this year. Whilst McGregor stay silent on the issue Mayweather has been pushing for a fight with the Irishman in what would surely be one of the biggest fights in recent boxing history. Some pundits have predicted that it would generate in excess of $500 million in pay per view and gate fees. 

However the likelihood of the fight remains in doubt. Apart from the unlikely approval from the UFC itself there is also the question of whether Conor actually wants the flight. Having never had a professional boxing bout it is unlikely that he would even land a punch on the undefeated champion let lone defeat him. Also after having lost to Diaz recently one would have to think that he would not want to damage his ‘brand’ further.

In any event we at Ezymats would love to see the fight happen and would even be willing to offer our interlocking jigsaw mats to either party at a discount for their training.

Why Does Your Child’s Playroom Need Jigsaw Mats?

Most parents are very concerned about their child’s health and well-being. They make sure their environment is safe and suitable for children of their son’s or daughter’s age. They make sure all drawers have child proof locks, stairs have gates, and all electrical outlets are plugged. A child’s play area should have some added protection, especially if you have a very active and sporty child. At Ezy Mats, we encourage parents to take steps to provide a safe and secure environment for their child. You should start with the floor and make sure it’s covered with soft jigsaw mats.

 

What are Jigsaw Mats?

 

Jigsaw mats are made from ethylene vinyl acetate or EVA. This material is soft but firm enough to provide a stable surface to walk or run on. This material is cut and shaped to form interlocking pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. You don’t have to use glue to place them on the floor as the interlocking design will keep the entire surface in place. They’re perfect for children’s playrooms and gyms because you don’t have to spend money to remove them once your kids grow up.

 

Why Does Your Child’s Playroom Need a Jigsaw Mat?

 

Your child’s playroom is a place where they can let themselves go and become adventurous. They can climb on toys, run around, dance, and have fun. The last thing you want is that fun to be interrupted by injuries and bruises caused by falls. Here are some reasons why you should install jigsaw mats in your child’s playroom:

 

  • The surface is soft so if your child does fall, he or she wouldn’t be hurt. Our mats are used in gyms, yoga studios, martial arts studios, etc, so they’re very resilient and will withstand rough use.

 

  • These mats come in bright colours so they’ll be the perfect fit for any room, especially a child’s room or play area. The jigsaw shape also creates a beautiful design that can add to the decor of the room and make it feel livelier.

 

  • These mats are easy to clean. You can wipe off the spills easily and use mild cleaners to sanitise the surface for your children. These mats are very resilient so as long as you use the right cleanser, you don’t have to worry about damage from cleaning.

 

  • Unlike other flooring options, they are easy to remove and you won’t need professional assistance to handle that. As the jigsaw pieces are just placed on the floor and not glued to it, you can remove it at any time. So, if your kids grow out of their playroom, you can remove the jigsaw mats and reuse them elsewhere. You can easily reuse the mats in a home gym.

 

You don’t need to look elsewhere for excellent quality jigsaw mats. We at Ezy Mats have a large collection of them and you can get in touch with us at (02) 97187424 or contact us through this form if you want to know more.

Boxing

Wrestling vs Wing Chun

It used to be the case that if a person chose to do a particular martial art that they stuck with it for a long time. Rarely did they delve into a new martial art as it was considered to be an act of disloyalty. I remember myself when I was training at a particular Wing Chun place in the city I was scolded when they found out that I was also training jiujitsu and kick boxing. My response at the time was that “you are no teaching me anything new so I want to try something else as well. Besides I am a customer and a student of martial arts and I will do what I want”.

As we know MMA has since taken off. And although I don’t claim to be the catalyst behind it, it was like minded people that brought about this new phenomena. Which brings me to wrestling.

Martial arts used to be broken down into traditional and modern categories. Even though wrestling has its roots in ancient time and is far older then either karate or kung fu, it was often thrown in the modern camp. Ironically it was in the same company and boxing and kick boxing, two arts that historically are also far older then the “traditional arts

These days wrestling is part of any serious mixed martial arts training regime. If you are not wrestling in one form or another then you are kidding yourself. The other day I saw a wing chun “master” questioning the need for training ground work. His absurd theory was that training to fight on the ground was akin to training to fight in the water. His thoughts were that wing chun is applicable every where. Even flying through the air. As a wing chun practitioner myself I felt embarrassed that this person was claiming to represent Wing Chun and disturbed that he was saying this to people who may very well believe him.

You see Wing Chun has a long history and has likely been refined over the years. Whilst it doesn’t have a ground work or wrestling element now you can bet your bottom dollar that those who utilised it as a facit of their training all those years ago also had some sort of wrestling training in their repertoire. Wing Chun would not have been the only element of their training, it would have been just one aspect of it and wrestling definitely would have featured prominently.

After Shoalin was burned down and the arts scattered for a long time the different system were isolated from one another and people began to think of them as competing arts and not complementary arts. This was a great loss to kung fu and martial arts as a whole as it stunted the evolution of martial art in China and by extension in the world. Thankfully fast forward 300 years and this split was rectified by MMA and the arts were once again unified.

If you want to be serious about your martial arts you must integrate some form of ground work or wrestling into your training. If you want to do wrestling then you need wrestling mats. If you need wrestling mats then a great choice is EVA interlocking jigsaw mats. And if you need interlocking EVA jigsaw mats then look no further then Ezy Mats or Southern Cross Mats. With these two gym mats suppliers you can’t go wrong. So in the future if you want interlocking jigsaw mats you know who to call.
