can I use this mat to drop dumbells on after exercises

Not a good idea with this mat. It's only about 1/4" thick and is pretty dense, so it doesn't compress much.

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

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

Not sure of that. This mat is primarily good for having to be positioned on knees, or laying down and doing various exercises.Running, jumping jacks, etc may not be a good idea on the mat.

I wouldn't use this mat with sneakers or any other work out footgear other then what it was intended for; yoga. In my opinion I think it would probably be fine, since it it such a great mat, but you wouldn't be getting the longevity of the mat like you would if it were only used for yoga or Pilates.

Not really. Most of the workouts don't need a mat. So you need a space as long as you are.

It construction is like a gymnastics mat only because of its smaller size size it may be of limited use with gymnastics - more for floor exercises in my opinion.

I wouldn't. The units can hold up to standard abuse very well, but the mechanism that adjusts the weights isn't designed for those kind of drops. I believe it states in the owner's documentation not to do this as well. If you are looking for something you can drop after a set, I would suggest sticking to traditional weights.

Well you certainly could do that, but I don't think it would work out too well over time. The mats are great for impact from weights, benches, equipment, but it would probably slide a bit or even come apart with the quick turns associated with suicides. If you are flooring a home gym to begin with they are certainly still worth it, but used for running alone these would not be ideal. Better off looking for utility rugs that are all in one peice

I'm sure you CAN, but that isn't what they are designed for. I would recommend getting actual weightlifting gloves with the proper grip for the bar. These are better suited for shadowboxing and kickboxing type workouts.

No, because it hits a metal bar at the bottom. You could let it hit the bottom, take off the extra weight, and resume your workout.

I would say no. It is better used to wrap around a pole, like smething on your weight bench, and then your ankle. Bring your leg back and exercise your muscles using the resistance the band creates. You can also step into the band each end wrapping around your ankle, and walk sideways across the floor and back, again using the resistance to strengthen muscles. That's how I use them. Good luck.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

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.

Yes! That's how we have it used. I can do yoga and martial arts and nothing moves at all, not me or the mat!

No. They do not.I use it with Pilates and in place of some exercises that I would normally use dumbbells.
