Abstract
An exercise mat for a person exercising on a floor surface comprises a pad having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge. A cutout is formed in a first portion of the peripheral edge and sized to accommodate the neck of the person. A high-friction non-slip texture or coating may be applied to either the top surface or the bottom surface of the pad, or both. The top surface may further includes a pair of raised shoulder stops. In use, with the bottom surface of the pad resting on the floor surface and with the person's shoulders supported on opposing sides of the cutout proximate the first portion of the peripheral edge, the person's neck may be positioned within the cutout to allow natural flexion curvature of the cervical spine when the person is performing a shoulder
