Hello: I am new to Cathe. I notice all of her workouts are done on wood floor. Does anyone do them on carpet?
Thanks

I do them on carpet. I put an old beat-up Turkish rug over our berber carpet.

You need to be careful when working out on carpet, especially in cardio moves that involve pivots (hi/lo and kickbox especially). But it's doable.

I just want to say welcome, I don't do the workouts on carpet.

I do all of Cathe's workouts on carpet and have no problem. If you have particularly plush carpet a few of the pivot moves may be a little more difficult but it's so easy to modify it isnt really an issue.

I worked out on carpet until a year ago when we put down new carpet. My husband then bought me puzzle mats to put over the carpet so I wouldn't ruin it! Anyway, until the mats, it was never a problem working out on carpet!

Welcome PateT,

I have carpet in my workout room and don't have any problems. But use caution at first, make sure you feel comfortable with your pivots and such.

Hello PateT and WELCOME
I am like Jo I used to do my workouts on carpet (berber) had no problems and than I got the puzzle mats and really like them! (make it easier on the knees ;-) )

I think the floor in cathe's workouts is a type of special flooring that absorbs impact, I might be wrong...
I use my carpet
