Comments about Jade Fusion Yoga Mat:
So I ordered my P90X DVDs and then headed out shopping for a few items. I ended up at REI and stared at their yoga section for a while as not only is there a 90 minute yoga session but several other P90X sessions that recommend a mat. I saw the Jade Yoga mat with their minimal packaging that was obviously printed on recycled paper. It declared the mat as the ultimate or the last mat you'll ever buy, something like that. I pulled it out of the bin and couldn't believe how heavy it was. I'm pushing 200 lbs and hate having my spine make direct contact with anything so I thought the heavy padding would be just the ticket. I won't lie, I did gasp when I saw the [$] price tag. Between the thickness of the mat, the 'Made in the USA' label and the low impact rubber used for the mat, this is a put your money where your mouth is kind of purchase. If you complain about big companies shipping jobs overseas and then do all of your shopping at [...], you're part of the problem. If you cringe at deforestation but grab the cheapest mat you can find, you're not helping.OK, so your conscience can rest easy about the purchase, what about your back and feet? I have now used the Jade Yoga mat for a 90 yoga session, a 20 minute ab routine, a 60 minute cardio routine and a 60 minute martial arts routine and I can easily declare this mat as a winner. The flimsy thing my wife bought for her yoga sessions is nothing compared to the Jade mat. It's so comfortable, my daughter actually slept on it last night.
