I have carpeting in my workout room - not "deep pile", but pretty mushy stuff. I haven't had any real problems yet - but I am going to get some puzzlemats which someone here suggested (I can't remember who it was). They work fine over carpet I was told. Do you have a room dedicated to workouts where you could put them down and leave them there?

Hi Beth,

I bought these mats that Laughing Water originally recommended, and they work great:

They're a little slippery at first, but I've had them for a couple of months now, and they make a huge difference. My knees and ankles had been getting sore working out on carpet, and I'm not getting that soreness as much as I was.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the responses, although i have a large house all rooms are taken. there is only my bedroom and i have to move a bench in front of the bed to give me enough room. those tiles sound interesting though,i'll check them out.
