"Leg day ruined me but my glutes are living their best life"
Quote from theresa47 on August 27, 2026, 7:50 pmJust went to Target yesterday and grabbed their orange-ish mat (the one that’s like $15, not the super fancy $60 ones lol) and honestly? It’s been a game changer tbh. I’ve been doing my home workouts on my apartment balcony (small space, no gym budget) and my old mat was so slippery, I felt like a newborn giraffe trying to stand up. This one grips way better, even when I’m doing burpees—which is saying something lol.
Now I’m trying to figure out if I should invest in one of those foldable resistance bands (the kind that come in a little pouch) or if my random $3 stretchy bands from Walmart are actually enough. Anyone else dealing with this kinda dilemma? Or am I overcomplicating it?

Leg day *always* wrecks me too, but ugh those glutes though? Worth every squat. Pro tip: I started foam rolling my hips after because they’re always so tight lol. Where you at with your mat routine? Still holding strong or found other hacks?
