Are these mats good for core exercises and push ups on tile flooring?

Yes! We have found them to be helpful for multiple uses, but we also dulled them out a bit with something sharp to make them less slippery.

My wife uses hers on a cement basement floor for P90X workouts and I haven't heard any complaints. If 10 pound weights sit on it overnight, they'll leave an indentation that is semi-permanent, so that speaks to their thickness and cushion. We ended up with two set to get to the size she wanted for the movement exercises...

I use them in my barn on plywood and they have been great. I have about 15x15 feet and they never move. Very good mats.

I've mostlly used them on carpet for exercise...are you talking matts? Or hardwood? They scratch pretty easily, and are much less useful/slick once they have.

Yes, but good on tile floors as well. Be careful with the size. Go larger than they suggest. I had to send mine back and am hesitant to get the next size up.

There are pushups in chalean extreme workouts, but not in every workout. There are modifiers if you can't do them on your toes.

I haven't had a problem with the three ordered or the two more I ordered after that for another area. I really like these mats. Clean up great. Has a slight raised edge as expected, but they are really protect feet, knees and back while working on tile floors.

Oh yeah it should be fine for just pushups ^ . It didn't move on the floor at all for me, on carpet and wood.

Yes they are great mats, if they get really wet they may become slippery, but not just from sweat.

As others have noted, weights will likely damage the tiles. In short time, numerous permanent indentation marks were made by my dumbbells. I never toss my weights, but I'd estimate that setting weights down on the tiles that are more than 50 pounds is where damage might begin to occur. These mats are advertised as gym flooring; however, they are not suitable for a weight room. My solution was placing rubber mats on top of them. Rubber mats are much more expensive, but are what I'd recommend for somebody looking to set up a weight room.

i believe so. they work great on tile floors and have a soft cushiony side which makes them easy to slide on the floor to move the furniture around.

If your client's floors are semi soft (i.e., wood floor), then I would not use these pads. They are quite durable, and should be used on durable surfaces.I recommend Crain Comfort Knees for your scenario.

There are def bursts of cardio in them, but I would think a yoga pad or something would help and yes there push ups! They are good quick work outs, tho!

I bought them specially for wooden floor and tile because these mats are smooth underneath.They sell others with small 'spikes' under the mat to anchor to the rug. You should look for thekind that is most beneficial to your needs (and I guess these are more economical). Good luck!

The mats are designed to support the weight of people and items like free weights. I would not put something like a treadmill directly on them.

Hi Bernice, I currently use them with my Les Mills Combat workouts. I did not start using them until a few months in, when I felt stronger and more comfortable with the moves. I would highly recommend them, as they add a challenge without making it too difficult or leaving me sore.

These are more like an exercise mat. We use them on the floor of a tent to make sleeping more comfortable. Sand and gravel would be rough on it.

I think a yoga mat would work well. I'm on laminate flooring and my yoga mat works great for any floor exercises. You could also buy a yoga mat that is a little thicker than the usual ones if you need extra cushion.

i think it would be a great core workout. i would put it on the floor and try and sit for core
