Yoga mats
Whether you exercise at home and use your own equipment or prefer yoga classes, you have to know that yoga mats are full of germs. Of course, it does not mean that you have to interrupt your exercises just because they are infected with microbes and bacteria! All you have to do is to use some disinfectant when you go to the gym or cover their yoga mats with a towel.
“The main pathogen on yoga mats you need to worry about is staph aureus, strep (which can cause skin infections), and the types of fungus that cause athlete’s foot and ring worm,” says Dr. Bailey.
