Non slip mat for mobility trainer

Monife

Hi all,

I bought a mobility trainer (pedals) in Lidl a couple of weeks ago. I have reduced mobility due to rheumatoid arthritis and think this would be a good form of exercise.

The problem is, it keeps slipping on my wooden floors. I googled non-slip mats but I am not having much luck, they are either too small (those dashboard sticky mats) or too big and expensive (for treadmills etc). Would a normal yoga mat do the job?

Thanks.

A yoga mat would work. But an easier option would be furniture pads under each of the four feet.

Thanks for that. Where would I get furniture pads?

You can get them online, e.g. Amazon. I think I got a load packet in Dealz or similar. Rubber pads for legs of furniture. You could try places that do wood flooring as well but they'll be fairly easy to come by. You'll see them in packs like this or similar

I think any homewares type shop, or even a poundshop might have them

Those pedals are a bit disastrous for slipping. You could try and get some dycem, which is very non-slip, or else you could just put it up against a wall, so it can't go anywhere
Also, don't forget you can put it up on a table to exercise your arms, and it might not be so inclined to slide round the place!
