I am a 220lb man and want to use this for exercise will I hit the ground or rip it? Thanks

It should hold you, but over time the material weakens from the elements. Covering it would help slow this process.

I am 180lb man and jumping as high as I can, I have about 16" clearance to ground. For me I have no concerns about it tearing so far. Hope that helps!

No. It certainly won't hit the ground. It's strong enough for you. That's what I weigh and I jump on it with my granddaughter.

Not too heavy to use, but it sure would be a workout. I've found that raising it in the air then striking down & prying it side to side worked best. I made the strikes in a square pattern then used a traditional post hole digger to remove the broken up soil. I'm 66 and 5'7'. Still a workout, but a short rest between cycles & persistence works. Still better & faster than the traditional post hole digger alone. Good Luck

I have not tried it, but my instinct tells me may not be a good idea. I am sure that weight has a lot to do with it weigh 240 so momentum swings are going to cause a much greater possibility for the bar to move than someone weight much less. I hope this helps.

Im a personal trainer. My pad has been kicked by clients from 110 lbs up to 280 lbs. It is a great product, i even strap it down and use it for kicks and use a baseball bat for wood choppers with clients. We also use it for ground and pound by trapping it with one knee. Great product that takes a beaten. It is thick but you want that so it will absorb the impact. I will buy another when it wears out. Brandon

hi i have one of this and i am 170 pounds it seems to be good even for more because i have a friend who is 220 and he ride it with no problems.

I would not use it that way unless you were under 100 lbs. Not the molded heavy material needed for stepping exercise. It won't take pounding.

Absolutely!!! 100% I use it for legs and I pull back 225lbs easy. Highly recommend!

Hi RhondaI purchased it for my son to use while weightlifting in the garageHe drops 175# from over 6' to the ground. Weights bounce and concrete isn't cracked. It'll protect your hardwoods But why would you want to cover up pretty hardwoods with thick black rubber? LOL. :)

No question. It has a lot of flexibility. I would expect no issues with that exercise.

It is pretty sturdy for us. It has a 3000 lb capacity. We use it to do dips, so I don't know about swinging on it.

I am 208 lbs and it is working great for me. I think it is pretty sturdy and should work for you too. Because it feels like there is still some give when I am on it. I hope this helps you.

firm foam, and at 220lbs it might not be firm enough. I way 180lbs and I flatten it pretty good. Still does what it is suppose to do, but you may want to look for one a little thicker. I wish I had.

I weigh 220 lbs. and it works fine. I'm sure it would handle even more weight.

At 120 you should be ok. But you if like to ride on your knees or whats called drop knee ( thats front leg up back leg knee) a stiffer board is preferred. I suggest the mach 7-7 for this stance. Im am 230 and this board does not bend at all. Hope this helped. Board on!

I've been tipped on this twice in 5 wks but I'm pretty active. Recently went on a short vacation and must say, after a morning of shopping around outlets, my knee was a bit overworked. Depends upon your condition, I guess. I'm pretty fit but no spring chicken. Since it rolls, you won't get much of a work-out in a 1 mile walk, but at least it's something better than sitting around. The bigger tires of the full size adult unit might be better if you're going more rugged terrain outside, but I've been on almost every surface with it. Just be cautious and know that eventually you WILL fall over. I've been tipped on this twice in 5 wks but I'm pretty active.

I agree with midwestmom when it comes to being too low. You would need something more sturdy that has more heft to it. You'll also need something better than the cloth that's on top of this stool. It'll give out with that much use. I wouldn't want you to get hurt if it ripped apart while you were playing. Please, get something heavier for your safety!!! I hope this helps.

I weigh 158lbs. When I stand on the board and try to balance myself without the outer edges (perimeter) touching the floor, I notice a slight flex of the face of the board. I am sure that the heavier a person is that the face would flex more noticeably. This product works fine for me. If you need a stronger unit you will want to buy one made of a single piece of hardwood. I used one of them at my physical therapy session a couple of years ago and they do not give.
