Shawn,

Can you please recommend where I can find good mat cheap. I need thicker I will be doing sit ups on it and can use the cushion for my knees. I recently have lost 130 lbs I don't want alot of impact to my knees. Also can you share a jumping jack modified version? I am still trying to adjust to the feet movements as I am more body heavy with weight in legs. Haven't done these things in years...

Thanks! M.
