Exercise mat and system for ensuring proper form and posture during exercise

An exercise system, comprising:

• a fastening band attached to a cushioned, flat when in use, yet individually transportable workout surface about the length of an exerciser, said fastening band having a height about that of the lower torso of an exerciser and extending substantially across the width of said workout surface;
• and
• a belt fittable around the lower torso of the exerciser user and adapted to be aligned with and at least partially secured to said fastening band yet releasable therefrom by movement of said exerciser,
• wherein if the user inadvertently lifts a portion of her lower torso off of said workout surface during exercise, the release of said belt from said fastening band makes an audible noise to cue the user to reposition his or her lower torso on said workout surface and, yet, said exerciser is not otherwise constrained in movement, and;
• wherein said fastening band comprises the other mating half of said hook and loop type fastener and wherein said belt is provided in discrete trans verse strips.

An adjustable in circumference exercise belt for use by a user on a workout surface, comprising:

• a main body fittable around and extending in height for substantially the entire midsection of the user;
• and
• at least one fastening strip disposed over the exterior surface of said main body adapted to be secured to a fastening band section attached to a workout surface,
• wherein if the user inadvertently lifts their midsection and said fastening strip of said belt off of the fastening band section of said workout surface during exercise, an audible noise is made to cue the user to maintain his or her body on the workout surface but said belt does not otherwise constrain movement of said exerciser;
• and
• Wherein said at least one fastening strip comprises a plurality of separated transverse strips extending across substantially the entirety of the height of the belt.
