Thanks for replying! I hated puzzle mats. They slid and started coming apart after awhile. I want to maybe get a Gorilla mat and leave it out in the spare bedroom where I just moved my weights. I am going to test out cardio in there and see if there is enough room. I don't want to use the mat anywhere my cats can get into because I am afraid their claws will ruin the mat. It would be nice to use it in the family room, but it would not work because of our cats.
The flooring in the spare bedroom is thick carpeting with a thick area rug over it to protect the carpeting from my recumbent bike and treadmill. It is not a good surface for cardio, even with the Zumba type socks over my sneakers.
If cardio works in that room, I am going to save up Amazon Visa reward points to use towards the mat. I will report back if I do get one.
