How does this mat compare to the one P90X sells?

I am not familiar with the mat from P90X but the Hemingweigh xtra thick is a very good quality and comfortable mat for the price. I work in a fitness gym and I have not seen a better mat than the Hemingweigh in that price range.

Hi M. J. I'm a 64 year old male and I use the Silicone Mat. Like you I need a replacement from a plastic mat, Yes it is more expensive but the benefit is worth the money. My wife also uses the Silicone mat for making pie crusts ware as I make a pastry that consists of Cream Cheese and Flour. This mat does not slip on the counter when you roll out your dough - a benefit from the plastic one we had.So for clean up soapy water - easy, and the mat folds up and doesn't loose shape for the next time you use it.I recommend this mat enjoy You can send me some cookies for the review Hi M.

I think the main difference is in the materials. Some of the more expensive mats are made from organic cotton and natural foam. Some do not use plastic for the flowers. This can be very important to people with sensitives. I do suffer from multiple chemical sensitives and would prefer an organic cotton mat without plastic, but I can honestly say that this mat has never caused me to react after I let it air out.

I have the 4mm mat under my treadmill and it's fine. I've had it for a year and it looks as good as the day I got it. I have it over carpet. It does have a fairly strong rubber smell at first but that doesn't last.

I have the Black Pro and this one. I wish I bought the Lite first... almost same cushioning but a lot lighter. It does not bunch. Best mat IMO.

No, they are different and p90 is less stressful on the knees and incorporates more strengthening. I like the combination of both.

I think the question is, why are you asking? If you don't have time to do P90X, then sure, anything is better than nothing. If you use the resistance bands/belt it would be better than not doing exercise. But if you think you will get the same thing in 10 minutes that you got in 55 minutes - absolutely not. So if you are used to P90X there is no way you will see an equivalence - it will be like a great warm-up.

I've done P90X and crossfit and I would recommend this mat. I don't slide, slip, or sink like on a foam mat. And your weights won't ruin the mat.

I purchased this to use with P90X & it works great. Best I can tell it's the same thing they use in the video.

My wife uses hers on a cement basement floor for P90X workouts and I haven't heard any complaints. If 10 pound weights sit on it overnight, they'll leave an indentation that is semi-permanent, so that speaks to their thickness and cushion. We ended up with two set to get to the size she wanted for the movement exercises...

yoga mat is very thin and is mainly to keep you from slipping. the aeromat I use for Pilates and is mainly to support the spine and keep your bones from hitting the floor. they are very soft and supportive at least 1 inch thick and very dense foam. really nice.

I would say yes it does. I have a Bowflex on my mat and it is a big machine. The mat is very thick and super heavy. A worth while investment especially if you have hardwood floors as i do. Amazon does offer a bundle for both. Hope this heps.

No, nothing like insanity, p903 is a better pace and slower. Less stress in the knees...p903 is much better

i think the only difference is the thickness (and price as you mentioned). I went cheap and bought the thinner version because no matter what i have to use two mats.
