would this be good to workout on? like jumping Jacks, and other cardiovascular?

I don't see why not. It's not very wide though. Will not slide around because the material is kind of rubbery. Might work out pretty well.

You could - it has around the give of a yoga mat - but for the price, you'd be better off getting a second hand yoga mat!

No, I don't use it for cardio. Just for light exercise. I think you have to use it for a long time to reach cardio status.

It has a little give, I lift weights (squats, deadlift, overhead press) on it in socks and it is comfortable. I think it would be OK for jumping, but haven't tried it. Also, FYI, it has a very strong rubber smell, at least initially. I use it outside and it's OK, but inside the smell may be strong for a while.

If you are already in shape, you'll be fine:) it's a bunch of jumping. There is a moderate model that you can follow, but they do gear it up

it depends on your fitness level. also if you have any back problems or joint issues I would say no! It is a good workout; really good. however, teenager to 40ish unless you are in tip top shape. (my opinion) leslie sansone (walking for abs) has a good workout that is also challenging with 1 minute intervals of jogging. great for your abs and total body. also fast results- guaranteed results within 10 workouts- tried and tested. I switch because of my adhd lol. for more challenge (but less difficult than shuan t's insanity), beach body has a great workout dvd called fat blaster that is as effective as insanity without the pesky frog jumps lol. good luck!

It depends what kind of work out the person is doing. Treadmill, riding bike or for running this headphone are okay. But for weight lifting is no because a person cannot lean back put their head on to something becausethe headphone just comes out. There is a gap between back of our head and the back of the headphone. Overall i would not recommended this headphone to be use in work out. And also this headphone ia light and fragile so no.

This does require some muscles to make this thing go. It is good for exercise but I doubt you could play a video game while walking on it.

I am unable to answer if this is good for toning. I primarily use it for a break from the other mundane workouts because it is so fun. My three year old has asked me to put it on for here to simply play along with. The shakers with it will help with toning your arms, but that's about it.

I definitely think you could sit on this. I've used it to work out - sitting on it to lift weights, do sit ups, etc., and it works fine and hasn't lost air. my kids have even bounced on it a time or two (or three) and it hasn't popped. The only concern is getting it inflated correctly. the pump broke before I was even close to inflating it. I had to blow into it manually. So, I would say make sure you get an additional pump that has good reviews to use after the one that comes with the ball breaks.

Yes. I am over 200 pounds and use it for crossfit workouts requiring box jumps. No issues. Very Sturdy.

I really like my Gazelle. I am 62 and find it to be terrific for cardio, stretching and muscle tension. It is simple to use. You can customize your workouts by increasing the range of motion as wide as possible (it's better than gym machines for this). You can work the handles faster to increase the cardio. You can lean back or forwards to increase the "push" or "pull" - good for your upper body. All in all, I think this is a really good purchase.

It would be fine to workout in them as long as it wasn't too intense that they would not stay put. But for most things it would be ok.

No. This is absolutely not a good workout for older folks -- there is a lot of jumping around that's occuring, and it's very strenuous. The stress that this workout will place on your joints and bones is something that I would NEVER suggest an older person undertake. I'll go even further and state that you would probably risk permanent injury to yourself if you were to undertake this exercise at an advanced age.

You could if you're already pretty fit. It focuses more on strength training than cardio so it depends what you're looking for. I probably wouldn't recommend starting with Gamma however, as the Alpha and Beta workouts really do help build a good foundation.

as far as a workout goes it is very good. but it does have pedals and if all you use it for is arms, it would be nice to modify it yourself with some handle grips instead. My mom use it for her arms as well as legs, its more comfortable for the legs though.

possibiliy - it is very good for exercises where you have lots of jumping - stays put very well - but at the same time is considerable heavy - but nothing that two people can't handle.

It's not self-propelled, so it can be a workout. You might want to look elsewhere.
