How do I stop my exercise mat from sliding on hard floors?

The most effective solution is a mat with a textured rubber bottom most quality exercise mats include this. If your current mat slides, place a thin non slip rug pad underneath. Avoid placing mats on dusty floors, as dust acts as a lubricant. Some mats also slide less when slightly damp, so a light mist of water on the floor underneath can help. On carpet, sliding is rarely an issue.
