SPRI Ab Mat - Workout Mat Accessory for Abdominal Exercises, Sit-Ups, Crunches, Push-Ups, Core Training, and More - Portable Padded Shaped Mat with Curved Back Support for Toning Abs

I purchased two "ab mats" not for their intended purpose but to use with body weight squats for heel elevation (without shoes), and calf raises using the opposite more rounded side, also as a platform for pushups. The foam is very firm but still cushions well and made pushups more comfortable. I agree with some of the other reviews that I couldn't find a position that felt comfortable using them for crunches, but I do have some lower back issues. However they are very useful for other exercises in your home gym if you need a cushioned base with various angles.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like your abs are being lovingly demolished by a piece of ergonomically designed foam, the SPRI Ab Mat is here to make your dreams come true. This humble hunk of fitness gear promises to make your core workouts more effective—and by "effective," I mean it’ll have you questioning every life choice that led you to do crunches at all.Pros:Cushy Yet Cruel: The SPRI Ab Mat cradles your lower back like a concerned parent, ensuring you’re doing your sit-ups right. But beware—it’s also a tough-love coach that leaves no room for half-hearted crunches.Compact & Portable: This mat is lightweight and easy to take anywhere, which means you’ve officially run out of excuses to skip ab day.Multitasking Hero: Perfect for sit-ups, crunches, push-ups, and possibly a nap to recover after realizing how weak your core actually is.Cons:Honesty Hurts: The mat doesn’t lie. If your form is bad, you’ll feel it immediately. It’s like your gym buddy who refuses to sugarcoat anything.Abs on Fire: By the second set, your abs will start a petition to ban this device.Bottom Line:Using the SPRI Ab Mat is like inviting a personal trainer into your home—minus the judgmental stares but with all the burn. It’s a great addition to your workout arsenal, as long as you’re ready to discover muscles you didn’t know you had. Just don’t expect it to be your friend.5/5 Stars. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys pain for the sake of progress!

These pads are so versatile. You can use them for ab training, lower back support in any exercise as well as you can kneel down on them while doing ab training. I purchased one for me, my wife and my daughter.

My husband use it all the time when exercising

It has great firm support. I use it behind my shoulders also.

This mat works well to prevent back pain while doing sit-ups

Been using for at least 3 mos now. Holding up like a boss. Yet still focused on diet to see full results.

I use this all my workout everyday!
