Is this good for plyobox jumping, or is there a more appropriate mat for that?

This is a great mat for jumping/shoes on activities. I haven't seen a better mat for that.

Hi , What I do with my jump rope is put a mat under my feet if I am jumping on concrete. That solves it. If the concrete is smooth then no problem, but a mat is best. Hope this helps. MK

I would not use it for any mobile gymnastics (the mat will move on any surface). I use it for floor workout exercises (sit ups & weight training). It is a great mat overall for that use.

Raju,Either of the mats would be great for p90x. Plenty thick and sturdy.If you want a mat and worry about slipping because you sweat then go for the SYnergy mat with the Towel top and mat botom.

I have had no problems with the mat, and I'm not a light-weight. The mat would probably work well for you.

The jump mat is about 29" in diameter; however, there is a hem, so to speak, that you might not want to jump on. The part inside of the hem is about 25 1/4". If you are wearing shoes when you jump, you could probably use more of it comfortably. I jump without shoes, it's comfortable, and feel that I have enough space.

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.

it is definitely not. You want thicker plastic for softer surfaces. Also make sure that the size of the mat is large enough for you. This mat is pretty small.

Is p9ox like burst training? I purchased this mat for my son & I can tell you that it is very adequate for hardwood floors - padding is thick and the mat stays in place. As for noise reduction (maybe in reference for the apartment below you?) I honestly don't know. I think you won't find a better mat for the price.

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's perfect for tumbling! My daughter is a 10 year old gymnast and loves this mat. The depth of the mat is adequate to cushion falls. I highly recommend it, and I am a picky consumer.

This mat provides better cushion than a standard yoga mat for abs but is firm. I use it on hard tile floors and it is fine. In response to the other answer about yoga I use it for yoga x all the time I find it less slippery than my yoga mat.

I'm doing Insanity Max:30 on these right now and they're perfect. P90X would be good on them too. They're super heavy duty and don't move at all while doing plyo workouts unlike the foam mats.

I have 9 squares down. Once you put them together, they stay together pretty well. However, I did have to put weights down on the corners to keep the entire block of squares from sliding around. I use these mats for plyometrics, so I'm doing a lot of jumping type moves. Without the weights on the corners they would slide around some, but with the weights on each of the corners, they don't move at all. These are perfect for Plyometrics and absorb alot of the impact you would get on other surfaces, so I would highly recommend them.

It could be used for step up exercises, but without the blue mat it has holes in it so that two or more can be stacked. I see no problem using it with the blue mat it has adhesive and stays in place nicely. You may need more that one depending on how high you wish to step up.

I don't know. A gift for our granddaughter so I don't have it here. It was long enough to do a cartwheel - see the feet and hand imprints on mat and it is thick enough to be used without getting hurt. I saw them use it and it looked fine to me. Hope that helps.

Has anyone tried a mini-trampoline for the jumping moves? Haven't tried the program yet, but was wondering if this would help with the stress on the knees?
