The Valeo Exercise Mat is a two foot by six foot foam mat. It can be wiped down and cleaned with a damp cloth, however the strong rubber odor which it emits never quite goes away. It is ribbed on one side and smooth on the other, however you cannot really use more than one side after awhile as the mat rolls up and will not roll completely back down.

This mat is best used for static workouts or ab work, as it slips easily when jumping or moving excessively on it and it is too cushiony to provide a good balance for yoga routines.
