Could I use these rugs for doing cardio workouts?

Absolutely. I find it more useful compare to yoga mats, which are usually narrower and thinner. The top surface of the mats are slightly corrugated so it is not slippery when you do workouts. It is both firm and cushioning. I built an area about 6'x10'. They can be quickly put away in less than two minutes.

I purshased this solely for my then 6 months old daughter who just started crawling, i wanted her to crawl and sit on something that is not as hard and cold as our hardwood floors and it served its purpose, I had to tape all the joining parts of mats because they came off easily and the bottom part of mats were very slippery against our hardwood floors so we had to put weighty furnitures on the edge of mats to anchore it to the floors so I can't see how one can use this for cardio work outs.

you could use them for a home gym/cardio. They're pretty thick/soft. They look like something that would be in a kids room, so as long as you're ok with that.

Absolutely! They are super nice. Mine haven't separated one time. They are used in a playroom.

I believe so! They are thick and sturdy and are also relatively easy to wipe down. The individual pieces stick together well, too!

These are great for light workouts such as jogging and walking. Just don't use them for heavy duty exercises such as running or playing tennis.

You do not need a mat and it manifestly will not wear your carpet. If you sweat a lot (I do) then put a towel under the monorail to protect the carpet while you work out.

Yes. I have mine on carpet and it moves around a tiny bit during cardio, but it doesn't bunch up at all.

Yes, I think they would work on top of carpet. If you were to jump on them or exercise, they may shift a bit because they won't be able to grip the floor, but if that's not an issue for you, then it should work. Our issue was just that they didn't stay locked together when used for exercising.

I do not know anything about Jiu Jitsu or wrestling so cannot answer if the mats are suitable for those activities. I have the mat over cement on my basement floor and it works very well for aerobics, yoga as well as stretching and strength exercises

It depends on what you are doing. I have 2 mats side by side and do tons of lateral cardio movements (jumping, sprints, etc) between the two. Over the course of an hour the mats will slip maybe a total of 1" with heavy use. If I am just lifting weights there is no slippage.

Absolutely! While I initially bought them to use in a cardio class at a real boxing gym, I have since used them at the health club where I do kickboxing.

Probably not great for the gym. Even @ the smallest, they still move around if jogging in place.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

Yes,I am using them on carpeted floors now. You may wish to achor them to your wall for safety. Good solid consruction for this price level

I actually have rubber flooring in my workout room. Which is fantastic for all equipment and cushions for aerobics. You buy it online and it helps with cushioning and sound proofing.

I myself haven't played tennis in them, but I'm pretty sure you can. I run and do stuff like go on an elliptical and it's fine, even though they're a little tight. I got a medium.

yes bands do not take up to much area. most can be done on a mat. running in place would require little more room. it is a great workout.

I suppose you could try but you would ruin them pretty quickly. They aren't designed for moisture beyond sweat in a workout.

It seems to me that this is a question for the manufacturer from a durability and longevity perspective (and what they warranty). However, from a materials standpoint if you are using them for a work out it may not be thick enough to absorb lots if bouncing shock. They are about 1 inch thick perfect for a wood floor or over carpet. Also, I would suggest picking them up after use because they are not designed as a long term walking surface.

If your floor is concrete there shouldn't be a problem. I also think that floorboards with adequate covering would also work. It's a great way to work out- go ahead place the order.
