Moving on with The Running Mat
Written by Jeannette
As the title of this website suggests and in keeping with the "eat less, move more" adage, I've been testing out a Running Mat.
You may have seen these on Dragons Den, but if you haven't, here's some information below:

The Running Mat is a Portable Outdoor Exercise Mat ideal for Personal Trainers, Boot Camps, Fitness Camps, Runners and Hikers wanting to add more to their training or outdoor activities. New price is £14.95 Thanks to the investments from both Deborah Meaden and Kelly Hoppen on Dragons Den we have been able to save on manufacturing costs and pass this saving into our consumers.
Quite simply, the Running Mat is a very lightweight waterproof exercise mat that fastens around the waist, enabling some outdoor stretching and ground exercise without the worry of dirt and dogs muck.
Here's how slim it is:
And here it is around my waist, there's a very secure wide elasticated band which is adjustable and very comfortable:
As soon as you reach a grassy area, just unbuckle and there you have it, a waterproof exercise mat. I've taken this photo to demonstrate the waterproof backing:
This would be ideal for boot camps and anyone hoping to incorporate a bit of change into their running/jogging schedule.
Of course, keys etc can be stored inside the mat whilst running but the introduction of a small, zipped pocket would really benefit it.
I'm looking forward to increasing my fitness levels with the aid of this very simple-but-effective idea.
Disclaimer: I was sent a mat for the purpose of this review, my words and views are my own.
