I changed my workout room AGAIN this weekend. I used to work out on carpet, which I have always done and it was ok. Then when I changed rooms, I had tile which was NOT ok so I bought puzzle mats which helped a great deal. Now I'm back to the carpet and tried the puzzle mats over it which was weird and the mats didn't fit together as well. I'm thinking of taking up the carpet and getting laminate flooring. I did a search and couldn't find anything specifically addressing this type of flooring and I don't think i can afford the type of slooring Cathe uses. Does anyone work out on laminate? How hard is it on the feet and knees? Is there a certain kind or specific things to look for? Does anything o under it? Thanks

I have laminate flooring in my kitchen and it's pretty hard -- it wouldn't be good for aerobics at all. Our house sits on a concrete slab and I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

I work out on laminate flooring and have no problem with it. It sits on top of some kind of cushion so it´s "floating". Mine isn´t on top of concrete, either, like the previous poster´s, so that probably makes a difference.
It is NOT the best, however, to work out on.
Keep in mind that this is not made for workouts, so, really, if you need something to protect knees, this won´t do it, it´s just better than maybe some other options.

That's what I was afraid of. Well, has anyone put in aerobic type flooring? How much does that cost? It's not a big room; maybe 110 sq feet.
