What type of floor padding do I need? Working on concrete.

I personally like to have a good 1/2 inch thick, 72inch long, 30inch wide yoga mat even on top of comfy carpet, so especially on concrete. My hands and knees in particular get rough way too easy when doing certain poses and pushups and a few other things. The majority of the 1st month workouts in particular would be okay with no padding, but it is all about personal tolerance and preference. I hope that helped a little :)

I'm doing it on concrete, too. (In the garage). I use a yoga mat, nothing special. Love the cds!

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.

The padding is almost like a hard tempur-pedic material, if you want to rest your arms on a hard surface these will do just fine. But they won't be sufficient for hard impact on hard floors.

The pads are about 1/4" to 5/16" thick. Dosen't sound like much but they really make it a lot more comfortable when standing on concrete for any length ot time.

It is ok but I would recommend getting a foam pad to go underneath especially for a hard surface such as concrete.

Not sure how to answer. I bought this "mat" for a friend who stands on her feet all day for work. It cushions what would normally be a hard and unforgiving floor. Why you would put it under a mattress top, I'm not sure? If you are seeking "padding" for the concrete floor, I don't think two would do it ... Check the dimensions, these are not big mats.

It levels out minor imperfections and can be doubled up for some areas. I had some areas on the outer perimeter of the concrete slab that was poured with insufficient concrete leading up to the edge of the concrete. In these areas the pad could not make up for the concrete slab imperfections. I will always have some floor flexing in these areas.

i would suggest get appropriate size concrete anchor screw if you want to mount on concrete floors. take the bottom plate off and take it to hard ware store to match it with the largest size anchor bolts you can get.

1 1/4 " is what I used. Check w/ the manufacturer of the flooring (they usually tell you on their website). Good luck!!

I would recommend you ask the flooring supplier. That's what I did when I installed my first floor. I purchased the flooring at a local place not a big box store as I wasn't satisfied with their quality the first time. Purchase 1st or 2nd quality otherwise you may find inconsistency in with of boards. As it turns out I put down 3/4 inch solid tongue and groove over tar paper on 3/4 inch subfloor. He recommended 1 1/2 inch staples. Been a few year now and all ok. Floor was installed over a crawl space so they advised tar paper butted and taped at the seams.

Rubber, they will withstand a lot of abuse from concrete in case you're wondering.

It is the same material as the rest of the building. Be sure to use 3/4 inch plywood as the base of the floor. If you don't, you will have soft spots in your floor where there is not a 2x4 located. My building is setting on a concrete slab, but it was not level so built a frame of 2x4's and 4x4's with the 1/2 plywood (and I wish I had used 3/4 " plywood).

Yes. I used it to install 3/8 bamboo. Manufacturer said only to use 18 gauge L cleats. I believe it will work for your floors too.

You would want some kind of foam or inflate able mattress under it. Concrete floors are what they are... I love this product and used it many times last summer while camping.

They would be good for basement carpet, the backing is a vinyl-ish material that looks resistant to water and the carpet is very low pile. They are somewhere around 1/4" thick. Not sure about the padding.

A pad would be recommended. Simply because it will protect the floor as well dampen the noise. It is a very quiet machine but the extra padding will be helpful.
