A floor mat electrical generator system for generating electricity when users walk or dance on flooring includes a plurality of mat tiles and a power collection terminal. Each mat tile comprises a mat body having a body top side, a body bottom side, a body left side, and a body right side with a male protrusion portion and a female recessed portion to engage the adjacent mat tile. A plurality of kinetic generators is coupled to the mat body. A plurality of electrical connectors is coupled to the mat body and is in operational communication with the plurality of kinetic generators and with the plurality of electrical connectors of the adjacent mat tiles. The power collection terminal comprises a connector selectively engageable with a corner mat tile of the plurality of mat tiles and a power bank to store energy generated by the plurality of kinetic generators.

A system is provided including a processor, a memory, a wireless controller, and a prayer rug. The prayer rug includes a display screen, one or more pressure sensors, and one or more proximity sensors. The prayer rug may also include one or more speakers. The wireless controller is configured to change what is displayed on the display screen. The pressure sensors are configured to sense a change in pressure applied at a number of pressure points and output pressure information. The proximity sensors are configured to sense a distance away an object is from the one or more proximity sensors. The processor is configured to receive pressure information from the pressure sensors and proximity information from the proximity sensors and determine a prayer posture from the received pressure and proximity information. The processor may generate an alert if the determined prayer posture is detected as being incorrect.

Disclosed is a mat system. The mat system may include a plurality of mats. Each of the plurality of mats may include a first surface, a second surface, and a curved surface. The first surface may include a first connector and the second surface may include a second connector. The curved surface may extend from the first surface to the second surface. Upon assembly of the mat system, the first and second connectors of a mat may engage connectors of a first and second adjacent mats. The curved surfaces of the plurality of mats may form a void in a center region of the mat system.

An exercise mat includes a fabric layer including holes and having a joining surface on a first surface and a sweat absorbing surface on a second surface; and an elastic slip resistant layer having a slip resistant surface on a first surface and a joining surface on a second surface. The joining surface of the elastic slip resistant layer includes slip resistant protuberances each disposed in the hole.

The subject invention is directed to a method of exercising the human body comprising the steps of executing a training program on a floor mat consisting of a multiplicity of boxes arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns to form a checker board pattern of boxes on the surface of the floor mat with only one box located in common at the intersection between each horizontal row and each vertical column with each of the multiple boxes being equal in size and adapted to accommodate the foot size of substantially any person exercising on the floor mat such that the location of each foot on the floor mat will correspond to substantially only one coordinate box position with little or no overlapping, with said method comprising the steps of: using a human individual or a recording machine to execute the training program by calling out a sequence of steps corresponding to at least the movement of one leg of the person exercising on the floor mat relative to the other leg which is held stationary so that the moving leg moves from one specified coordinate box position on the floor mat to another specified coordinate box position, with each leg movement selected from the group consisting of a forward leg movement, a backward leg movement, a lateral forward or lateral backward leg movement and a rotational leg movement, and with each step being called out in a predetermined consecutive sequence corresponding to, at least, the leg movements of the person exercising on the floor mat with at least one of the steps, or a consecutive combination of the steps, in said sequence requiring the moving leg to cause the body and/or pelvis of the person exercising on the floor mat to rotate, at least partially, relative to the non-moving leg and in unison with the rotation of the body such that the person exercising on the floor mat forms a pattern of movements corresponding to movements of the person in their everyday lifestyle integral to his or her occupation or to a pattern of movements corresponding to a given gym exercise or for simulating a given sport.

A foldable surface for supporting a user relative to a support surface during an activity includes at least three surface panels that are movably coupled to one another with one or more panel connectors. Each of the surface panels includes (i) a rigid base layer having a base layer first surface that faces in a first direction, and (ii) a resilient layer that is adjacent to the base layer, the resilient layer having a resilient layer second surface that faces in a second direction that is substantially opposite the first direction. The surface panels are movable between an open configuration wherein the surface panels cooperate to form a substantially planar surface that can be positioned adjacent to the support surface, and a stacked configuration wherein the surface panels are positioned substantially side-by-side with the base layer first surface of one surface panel directly facing the base layer first surface of an adjacent surface panel.

An inflatable meditation device comprising a combination of a mat or leg portion and a pillow or seat portion, wherein the mat and seat are individually inflatable and are removably connectable to form a travel mediation device with the seat portion being raised above the mat portion.

An exercise device is provided with a first element disposed at a first side and a second element disposed at a second side. The first element includes gripping features to prevent skidding or sliding of exercise device when first element is abutting a surface. The second element includes sliding features to facilitate sliding of exercise device when second element is abutting the surface. Thus, when an exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to prevent movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the first element against the surface. Conversely, when the exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to facilitate movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the second element against the surface. The exercise device further includes an insert which may be removed and heated or cooled to provide heating or cooling pad/pack to a body part.

A system is provided including a processor, a memory, a wireless controller, and a prayer rug. The prayer rug includes a display screen, one or more pressure sensors, and one or more proximity sensors. The prayer rug may also include one or more speakers. The wireless controller is configured to change what is displayed on the display screen. The pressure sensors are configured to sense a change in pressure applied at a number of pressure points and output pressure information. The proximity sensors are configured to sense a distance away an object is from the one or more proximity sensors. The processor is configured to receive pressure information from the pressure sensors and proximity information from the proximity sensors and determine a prayer posture from the received pressure and proximity information. The processor may generate an alert if the determined prayer posture is detected as being incorrect.
