"I literally got this today, and I'm already freaking out. Manduka is an editor favorite at POPSUGAR (all four of the Fitness editors here have one!), and this addition to its lineup is a great option for nonyoga workouts. Think: outside in the park, in your living room on hardwood floors, at your friend's apartment . . . possibilities are endless. Here's what makes the Manduka X ($58) different from a regular ol' yoga mat: 1. Super cushioned, which is great for shock-absorption joint protection. 2. A grippier, rougher surface (still soft to the touch) that keeps you from slipping and also allows you to wear your sneakers on it without messing up your beloved mat. It's also less expensive than your average Manduka mat, has more hygienic construction, and plays double duty for an excellent nonslip hot-yoga mat. I know, I'm excited too." — Dominique Astorino, assistant editor, Fitness
