question about carpet

[daisyheather]

Hi Cathe, I am new to your tapes and about to place my first order. I'm so excited! My main question/concern is about working out on carpet. I am used to working out in the gym on hardwood floors, and at home I have carpet (not thin- but not super thick either). Is it safe to do step on carpet? Thank you for your time. Love, Heather

p.s. If there are others out there who do Cathe's tapes on carpet and have no problem...will you let me know? Thank you.

I do Cathe's step tapes on carpet, and don't have any problems. I do pay careful attention when doing pivots, etc. that I don't load and spin on my feet. Instead of doing an actual pivot, I pick up my foot and replace it in the new direction.

I have done step workouts on a carpeted floor for at least 10 years and have had no problems. I find the dancier moves that are found more in hi/lo aerobic tapes are more critical when it comes to working out on carpet. Enjoy your tapes!
