Would this be a good mat for jumping?

It would be a bit of a help but not much more than you'd get from jumping on well-padded carpet.

I use the mat for jazzercise, we don't use it for jumping but do kneel on it and do planks on it so it does have some give to it. Thicker than some I have seen.

I would say no. It is not sticky like a yoga mat so it might slide around a lot. I don't think it would be very safe to jump on.

Have not used this mat for jumping. Highly recommended for floor expercises, e.g. yoga. It is high quality, thick and pliant. Good luck. I enjoy and use this mat often coming up on year three.

of course, there is no reason not to. as i have advised before, this is the perfect mat for all floor exercises but not standing balance exercises because the thickness does not allow you to get a firm grip or foot grasp of the floor. I ALWAYS USE IT ON A CARPET.

This mats main use is to cushion your drop on jumps while excercise but I do have a much larger mat made of same material under my treadmill in my bedroom and I also live on the 2nd floor of a 2 floor house and it does great with muffling the sound. I have never had a complaint from my downstairs neighbors on it.

I think it would probably be overkill. This mat is probably twice as thick as the cheap foam mats. The foam mats will get ripped and crushed over time as well.

Yes it can. I am pleased with the quality and flexibility the mat offers! A great buy

This is for fitness and you do not jump high for that. The jump capability for fitness trampolines is more subdued so it shouldn't be a problem. Watch the enclosed DVD to see the workout and observe how low you really "jump".

If it's on carpet you'll be just fine! Jumping is part of DDR, and spinning, jumping while you spin... Never had the mat fly out from under me! The cheap mats with no foam will do that. These mats (I've owned five now, different platforms) are fantastic

Yes it is good for any exercises. The mat is very thick . I am thin and bony and thinner mats were uncomfortable to use. It is also quite long to accommodate a tall person

Probably not. The shell is very loose and wrinkles up. Shoes might pull on the wrinkles and damage it. Also the mat feels flimsy overall; the padding is very soft, and if you're above 150lbs I wouldn't recommend this mat to be honest.

Yes its a good mat, you can probably find a smaller one but this one works great especially if you like the extra room. I don't have a problem with it slipping

I wouldn't recommend it because it's textured so it feels rough on skin. But perhaps worse, it's too thin at only 3/8" to provide cushioning for an area as sensitive as the knees. It would be especially stressful if you bow and move during prayer as some Muslims and Buddhist do. I'd recommend something 3/4-1" thick and very firm, like a child's play mat. They are made to cushion falls. You might even consider using a chair pad or sleeping pillow, whether memory foam, regular foam or feather.

Absolutely this would be good mat for travel since carried many time while travel out and my kid enjoy a lot with this.

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 bought a 6-pieces puzzle mat for my laminate floor, but didn't like it: too much hassle assembling/disassembling every day, and it slides over my laminate floor.I ended up using the beachbody jump mat that I got with my insanity deluxe package.the size is enough to do Insanity, it has a good grip on laminate floor, I rotate it sometimes for pushups, and it works well with my cross-trainers shoes.only drawback is that you need some workout gloves: when your palms are wet, the mat can be slippery.

I would say yes. It's width is more narrow but there is a nice length. My girls can do a total back walk over on the mat.

Thanks for your question. The gymnastics mats have a crosslink polyethylene foam core. This foam is firm to provide stability for stunts. If you looking for something soft to sleep on I would not suggest this gymnastics mat.

I think it might. I use it on carpet. It would also depend on the size of the animal and how much they jump. If it was up against a bed or couch, it might be okay.
