Rollable Fitness Mat

Abstract

A mat, such as an exercise, yoga, an/or Pilates mat, that includes two bottom panels and a top layer, the panels being assembled in a manner that enables a user to roll the mat in a way that keeps an upper surface of the mat clean.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mat comprising:
 a first panel and a second panel, the first panel having a first panel end and the second panel having a second panel end, each of the first panel end and second panel end having locking members that are configured to interlock with each other;   a top panel that is attached to upper surfaces of each of the first panel and the second panel;   wherein the first panel and second panel are configured to connect to one another and lie flat on a surface or be separated from one another and folded such that a portion of the top panel on the first panel is placed against a portion of the top panel on the second panel so that the mat may be rolled.   
     
     
         2 . The mat of  claim 1 , the first panel and the second panel each having a width and a length, and wherein the width of the first panel is approximately the same as the width of the second panel and the length of either the first panel or the second panel is longer than the length of the other of the first panel or the second panel. 
     
     
         3 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the top panel is approximately the same size and shape as the first panel and the second panel when the first panel and second panel are connected to one another. 
     
     
         4 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the top panel is attached to the first panel and the second panel by an adhesive. 
     
     
         5 . A method of rolling a mat comprising the steps of:
 providing a mat that includes a first panel and a second panel, the first panel having a first panel end and the second panel having a second panel end, each of the first panel end and second panel end having locking members that are configured to interlock with each other;   placing the mat on a surface and interlocking the locking members;   folding either of the first panel or the second panel on the other of the first panel or the second panel to create folded panels;   rolling the folded panels.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the mat further includes a top layer that is attached to an upper surface on each of the first panel and the second panel. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein either the first panel or the second panel is longer than the other of the first panel or the second panel.
