Puzzle Mats-Question

[Ivy]

This is something that has just been bugging me, I have these puzzle mats set up so that I can do cardio with more cushion to make it a little easier on my joints. The problem is that they always come apart while I'm exercising and at times I have to pause my workout to put them back together. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it?

Thanks

I have heard of people who tape the backside of them. I don't have a problem because mine are the width of the room, so there is no wiggle room for them to come apart.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll try the tape idea.

I have the same problem. I have a couple sets and found that "staggering" them helped keep the middle ones together. (the squares on the end will still slide apart). So I laid the first row and then started the second row so that the second row square was halfway between the seam of the first row square then I kept alternating. (Maybe I can try to take a picture of it).

Yeah if you could take a picture that would help

I have thicker puzzle matt that has never come apart. I've got 3 packs of these put together for several years. THey are on a concrete basement floor. I mop it just like I do the other floors. I throw a rug over half of it when I want to do "slider" workouts.

Mine are wall to wall like gratefuldog's, so they don't move at all. That seems to be the best method to keep them from moving.

Thanks I may try the thicker mats.

Hi Ivy

I put anti-slip rug sheets under my puzzle mats. This stops the puzzle mats from slipping and moving apart from each other. Maybe worth a try?

All the best
