[Training Mat for Yoga and Pilates] The RELANESS Slide Mat is a slider board that offers a fun approach to physical issues such as poor posture, joint pain, and weight management caused by lack of exercise. The skating exercise, which involves sliding back and forth, is about four times more intense than walking and twice as intense as jogging (*1), allowing for efficient indoor aerobic exercise and muscle training. You can also enjoy authentic Pilates at home, and the back can be used as a stretching or yoga mat. YouTube videos are available to help you learn the basics of skating, so even beginners can train with confidence.
[Just skate! A new gym-quality health habit] This stretching mat strengthens your core and stretches your hips with the simple skating motion of sliding your entire body from side to side. No specialized knowledge is required, and exercise can be done playfully, so anyone can incorporate core training and Pilates into their daily routine in a fun and efficient way, whether it's for childcare, working from home, or just to refresh in the morning or evening.
[Pilates x Cardio x Strength Training x Stretching] This single device covers Pilates, cardio, strength training, and stretching. Our in-house electromyogram data comparison showed that using the SlideMat increased muscle activity by approximately 411% in the back of the thighs, 530% in the front of the thighs, and 805% in the back compared to jogging (*2).
[Professional Recommendation] Recommended by orthopedic surgeons, personal trainers, and professional soccer players, this product is incorporated into actual training. Experts say the benefits of practicing Pilates at home lie in frequency and pace, and that five minutes a day for three weeks can lead to motor learning. The moderate slippage allows you to naturally focus on how you use your body and the condition of your muscles while adjusting your posture, directly leading to stronger muscles, improved flexibility, and improved balance.
[Japan's first, unique structure pending international patent application (*3)] Unlike typical slide boards, which require users to stop by slamming their feet into the equipment or steps on both sides, this unique structure (Japan's first) uses different materials for the slide area and anti-slip area. It's quiet, safe, and has a large effective surface area. After roughly a year of prototyping, we've achieved both the propulsive force needed to kick off and a comfortable sliding feel. The underside is made of a material that absorbs weight and pressure well, making it suitable for stretching and yoga.
[It's right there. So you can keep using it] This functional and beautiful design combines a rich texture with a slim 4mm thickness. Available in two colors, gray and beige, these nuanced colors bring a sense of quality and relaxation to any space. This rubber mat blends in with your interior even when left out, and can be rolled up for storage when you want to put it away.
[Committed to the quality of gliding. Soft shoes included] Wearing them on bare feet minimizes friction, allowing for smooth gliding without unnecessary strain or movement. Suitable for sizes 24-28cm, but children can also wear them by tucking up the excess fabric and securing it with a hair tie (*4). The soft shoes can also be purchased separately, allowing you to share them with your family or use one for your feet and the other for your hands, making the product even more comfortable.
[Towards a healthier lifestyle. Over 10 million yen raised on Makuake] The crowdfunding goal was reached within three minutes of launch on Makuake, and ultimately over 10 million yen was raised (from 1,146 supporters). This product has attracted attention as a "new sensation exercise item" that will help you achieve a healthier lifestyle.
