Getting the right mat can take your workouts from "just alright" to the next level. Slipping during exercises or struggling to track your progress can be frustrating, so Tyger Fit Lab has developed the original Tyger Mat and the Bengal. These mats provide a precise measurement system to optimize your workouts. Let's explore how the Tyger Fit Lab mat can enhance your training efficiency and how to set it up properly.
Purpose of the Tyger Fit Lab Mat
Our mats are designed to help users accurately measure movement adjustments for suspended exercises and elastic band work. The laser-etched lines on the mat create a structured visual guide, eliminating vague directional cues like "move back down" or "step forward." With clearly marked increments, hand and foot positioning become more precise, improving communication between trainers and clients.
Why Use a Measured Approach?
Fitness researchers emphasize the importance of marking distances for consistent exercise programming. Elastic bands, while offering different resistance levels, lack a visual tension indicator, making it difficult to assess the exact load. While some individuals can gauge tension by feel, a measurement-based approach provides a more accurate and objective way to track intensity and progression over time.
Proven Benefits from Research
The Tyger Mat’s 4-inch (10 cm) increments align with research-backed measurement systems proven to improve:
- Shoulder strength and stability
- Muscle activation
- Tennis serve accuracy and velocity
Studies have shown that using these precise measurements leads to better engagement of stabilizing muscles and more effective resistance training.
Best Surfaces for the Tyger Mat
For optimal use, place your Tyger Mat on slip-resistant surfaces such as:
✔️ Wood flooring
✔️ Studio flooring
✔️ Rubberized gym flooring
✔️ Smoothed concrete (e.g., porches, sidewalks, driveways)
Avoid using the mat on rugs, carpeting, or uneven concrete, as these surfaces may shift under force, reducing workout stability.
How to Clean Your Tyger Mat
To keep your Tyger Mat in top condition:
- Mix a small drop of dish soap with water.
- Gently wipe the mat with a damp, non-abrasive sponge.
- Air dry completely before rolling and storing it in a safe, room-temperature environment.
How to Set Up the Tyger Mat
The setup process for both suspended and anchored band exercises is the same. To ensure perfect alignment:
✅ Position the ears of the Tyger Mat logo directly under the hanging straps.
✅ This ensures the straps and mat remain centered, helping maintain balance and precision during exercises.
Maximize Your Workouts with the Tyger Mat
A well-designed mat can be the difference between an average and an optimized workout. The Tyger Fit Lab Mat provides a simple yet highly effective way to enhance workout accuracy, track progress, and improve overall performance. Whether you're training for strength, stability, or athletic performance, the Tyger Mat and the Bengal offer the structure and reliability you need.
