ABMAT - AbMat

The AbMat offers a simple yet effective way to perform anatomically correct sit-ups that deliver the desired results while ensuring safety.

By providing lumbar spine support and eliminating the gap between your back and the floor, the AbMat enhances stability and isolates the abdominals for a complete core workout. When placed under your spine before a sit-up, the AbMat delivers a full stretch to your abdominal muscles, which is unachievable on a flat surface. As you lift, your pelvis receives the necessary support, allowing for complete muscle contraction and a more effective workout.

The latest AbMat design features a single molded piece construction that utilizes a medical-grade Polyurethane foam known for its antibacterial properties and closed cell skin that prevents sweat and moisture absorption. This foam helps maintain the structural integrity of the AbMat's arch and is easier to clean, making it perfect for commercial gyms. Additionally, the proprietary foam blend produces a mat that's softer to the touch but more firm when in use.

Since its invention in 1997 by renowned strength coach Fred Koch, the AbMat has always been made in the USA. The new model is portable, measuring 14.5" L x 11.75” W x 2.75” H and weighing only 2.2 LBS, making it ideal for training on the go. This updated version also features a textured black finish, a non-skid base, an embossed AbMat logo, and exclusive Rogue branding in white.

The contoured AbMat enables a full extension of the abdominals at the start of a sit-up by tilting the spine when positioned under the lower back, which is not possible on a flat surface. Additionally, it stabilizes the pelvis as you rise up, allowing the abs to fully contract, resulting in a more efficient and complete core workout of the abdominal, oblique, and back muscles.

In a conventional sit-up done on the floor, the feet are anchored, and the hip flexors are responsible for much of the movement. The back is arched in an unsafe position, and the momentum is what completes the motion. With the AbMat, a proper sit-up can be done with a neutral spine and without momentum, allowing for a more complete range of motion and more effective conditioning.

Beginners can easily learn and perform a proper form sit-up by maintaining the correct spine position. On the other hand, advanced core training can be achieved by adjusting the pad direction and arm position to create enough load, making the movement more challenging.

Made in the USA, AbMats boast a durable, antibacterial, single-mold, closed-cell foam construction that makes them easy to clean. The non-skid base and textured surface keep the AbMat firmly in place, allowing you to focus on achieving your workout goals with confidence.

No more relying on momentum or risking injury due to inadequate support—the AbMat provides the complete range of motion required for thorough core conditioning. The AbMat is a necessary and durable tool for achieving a complete core workout.
