Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An exercise mat comprising:
 an upper surface and a lower surface;   a recess disposed in said lower surface of said mat;   a removable insert member disposed in said recess;   wherein said recess does not extend through said upper surface of said mat.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise mat of  claim 1 , wherein said insert member is substantially triangularly shaped. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise mat of  claim 2 , wherein said insert member has linear sides. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise mat of  claim 2 , wherein said insert member has non-linear sides. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise mat of  claim 1 , further comprising retainer means for temporarily securing said insert member within said recess. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise mat of  claim 5 , wherein said retainer means comprises a hook-and-loop fastener. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise mat of  claim 1 , further comprising a tether member connecting said insert member to said mat. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise mat of  claim 5 , further comprising a tether member connecting said insert member to said mat. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise mat of  claim 1 , wherein said mat is comprised of a first layer and a second layer, and wherein said recess is disposed only in said second layer and the top of said recess is defined by the underside of said first layer. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise mat of  claim 9 , wherein said first layer and said second layer are composed of different materials. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise mat of  claim 9 , wherein said first layer and said second layer have different densities. 
     
     
         12 . An exercise mat composed of a resilient and compressible material providing cushioning for a user, said mat comprising:
 an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface being in contact with the user during use;   a recess disposed in said lower surface of said mat;   a removable insert member disposed in said recess, said insert member composed of a resilient and compressible material providing cushioning for the user;   wherein said recess does not extend through said upper surface of said mat.   
     
     
         13 . The exercise mat of  claim 12 , wherein said insert member is substantially triangularly shaped. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise mat of  claim 12 , further comprising retainer means for temporarily securing said insert member within said recess. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise mat of  claim 1 , further comprising a tether member connecting said insert member to said mat. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise mat of  claim 12 , wherein said mat is comprised of a first layer and a second layer, and wherein said recess is disposed only in said second layer and the top of said recess is defined by the underside of said first layer. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise mat of  claim 16 , wherein said first layer and said second layer are composed of different materials. 
     
     
         18 . The exercise mat of  claim 16 , wherein said first layer and said second layer have different densities. 
     
     
         19 . An exercise mat composed of a resilient and compressible foam material providing cushioning for a user, said mat comprising:
 an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface being in contact with the user during use, said upper surface being impervious to liquids;   a substantially triangular recess disposed in said lower surface of said mat, said recess not extending through said upper surface of said mat;   a removable, substantially triangular insert member disposed in said recess, said insert member composed of a resilient and compressible foam material providing cushioning for the user;   said mat comprised of a first layer and a second layer joined to said first layer, wherein said recess is disposed only in said second layer and the top of said recess is defined by the underside of said first layer.   
     
     
         20 . The exercise mat of  claim 19 , wherein said first layer and said second layer have different densities.
