Exercise mat apparatus

Abstract

An exercise apparatus comprising: a first mat including a resilient outer cover; and an inner pad located within the resilient outer cover; and at least one further mat having a resilient outer cover; and an inner pad located within the resilient outer cover of the at least one further mat, wherein the inner pad of the first mat has a different density to the inner pad of the at least one further mat.

1 . An exercise apparatus comprising: 
 a first mat including: 
 a resilient outer cover; and  
 an inner pad located within said resilient outer cover; and  
 at least one further mat having:  
 a resilient outer cover; and  
 an inner pad located within said resilient outer cover of said at least one further mat,  
 wherein said inner pad of said first mat has a different density than said inner pad of said at least one further mat.  
   
     
     
         2 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first mat is of a different height than said at least one further mat.  
     
     
         3 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first mat further includes a venting means allowing air to escape from said first mat.  
     
     
         4 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said venting means comprises at least one hole in said resilient outer cover, said at least one hole having a periphery that is edged by a ring.  
     
     
         5 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one further mat further includes a venting means allowing air to escape from said at least one further mat.  
     
     
         6 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first mat further includes a fastening means on a side of said first mat.  
     
     
         7 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said at least one further mat includes a fastening means on a side of said at least one further mat.  
     
     
         8 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said first mat can be connected to said at least one further mat using said fastening means on said first mat and said fastening means on said at least one further mat.  
     
     
         9 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first mat further includes a velcro like loop strip located towards a first edge of a side of said first mat and a velcro like hook strip located towards a second edge of a side of said first mat, said first edge being opposite of said second edge.  
     
     
         10 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said at least one further mat further includes a velcro like hook strip located towards a first edge of a side of said at least one further mat and a velcro like loop strip located towards a second edge of a side of said at least one further mat, said first edge being opposite of said second edge.  
     
     
         11 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said first mat can be affixed to said at least one further mat using said velcro like loop strip and said velcro like hook strip of said first mat to affix to said velcro like hook strip and said velcro like loop strip of said at least one further mat.  
     
     
         12 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 10  further comprising an attachment strip, said attachment strip affixing to said velcro like loop strip on said first mat and said velcro like loop strip on said at least one further mat when said first mat is placed on top of said second mat, thereby holding said first mat on top of said at least one further mat.  
     
     
         13 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said resilient outer cover includes an opening and a zipper, said opening being sealable by said zipper, said opening being of a size to admit said inner into or out of said resilient outer cover, said zipper being sewn to said resilient outer cover by stitching.  
     
     
         14 . The exercise apparatus of  claim 13 , including an elastic material situated between said zipper and said resilient outer cover to lessen the wear and tear of stitching between said zipper and said resilient outer cover.  
     
     
         15 . An exercise mat comprising: 
 a durable outer cover;    a first pad inserted into said durable outer cover; and    a second pad inserted into said durable outer cover laterally of said first pad;    wherein said first pad and said second pad are of different densities thereby providing a mat with varied densities.    
     
     
         16 . The exercise mat of  claim 15  wherein said first pad is of a different height than said second pad.  
     
     
         17 . The exercise mat of  claim 15  further comprising a venting means, said venting means allowing air to escape from said mat.
