{"product_id":"ab-mat","title":"Ab Mat for Sit-Ups \u0026 Core Training","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ab Mat — a curved abdominal exercise mat — is designed to support the natural curve of the lower back during sit-ups, crunches, and other bodyweight core exercises. By elevating the spine slightly from the floor, it allows a greater range of motion through each repetition than flat-floor abdominal work alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat increased range creates a stronger contraction through the abdominals while reducing pressure on the tailbone and lower back. Suitable for beginners building core strength and experienced users looking for a more comfortable and effective sit-up setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the mat beneath the lower back with the curved surface supporting the lumbar region. As the torso lowers, the spine extends naturally over the contour of the mat before contracting through the sit-up or crunch — creating a fuller movement pattern than exercising on a flat surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mat is reversible, offering two support angles: 15° for a shallower curve suited to most sit-ups and crunches, and 30° for a steeper incline that increases the range of motion for deeper core work. Flip it to match the exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-density foam filling provides firm cushioning during repeated repetitions. A textured PVC outer surface resists wear and wipes clean after training. The non-slip base keeps the mat positioned throughout each set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for everyday use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 500g and 36 × 30 × 7.5 cm, it stores easily alongside other kit or packs into a training bag. Reinforced stitching holds the cover and foam together through sustained use, and the PVC surface maintains its grip and shape over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo setup required — position, train, and put it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 × 30 × 7.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter material:\u003c\/strong\u003e PVC leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport angles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15° and 30° (reversible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilling:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-slip textured underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow, Blue, Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fun \u0026 Sport","offers":[{"title":"Black \u0026 Yellow","offer_id":43463790723190,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \u0026 Blue","offer_id":43463790755958,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \u0026 Red","offer_id":43463790788726,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9940\/7222\/files\/ab-mat-sit-ups.webp?v=1780294617","url":"https:\/\/funandsport.co.uk\/products\/ab-mat","provider":"Fun \u0026 Sport","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
