Abstract
A gymnastic mat includes a plurality of sections that can be multi colored and includes at least one sensor in each section, and/or a visual indicator associated with each section, and/or an audio indicator associated with each section. The mat can use the visual indicator and/or audible sounds to indicate the user'"'"'s proper sequence and rhythm of their hands and feet in executing a gymnastic move, for example a cartwheel. Upon proper execution of the gymnastic move, the visual indicator can illuminate corresponding sections of the mat to indicate execution in the proper sequence, and/or the audible sound output indicates execution in the proper sequence. When the user makes a mistake in executing the proper sequence of the gymnastic move, either the visual indicator will not display for that section (indicating improper execution in sequence), and/or the audible sound output will be out of the “proper” audio sequence (indicating improper execution in sequence).
