[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-29 Summary: Great Mat, Bad DVD ... The mat is long, thick, and not slippery. It also doesn't have that chemical-ly smell that a lot of new workout mats do. However, the DVD is a joke. It's a mini-DVD, so I had to play it in my computer, and the workout was so insubstantial, that I just threw it out afterwards.
