Everlast Aerobic Exercise Mat

Advantages: Multiple hand grips not permanent fixture
Disadvantages: Does not fit all doors, not secure, missing parts.

...I used to own a chinning bar when i was 18yo and thought it was cheap and a very good piece of exercise equipment. Everlast Multi-Function Chinning Bar looked as if it was light years ahead of the straight bar that was used by me in my youth. Not only was their different places to hold the bar but also foam on the parts you hold to help prevent blisters and for a better grip. The price was £29.99 normal chinning bars are around £10, but it seemed to be worth it with the multiple grips and handles.

I felt that my current carry-mat was unsuitable as it was farily large and made from foam. I was recommended a thermarest by my friends, and tried theres before purchasing my own.
