Default Exercising on Carpet
What do you think about working out on carpet? Is it bad, okay, or good?


Do you think that carpet is similar to grass?

I do my 30 day shred workout on carpet and I still get the same results as I did when I exercised outside. I don't think it really makes a difference but I guess it depends on the person.

Do you find that carpet has too much drag?

Do you prefer a smoother surface?


Also, why do people say that wood is the best exercise surface? (Notice that many gyms and dance rooms have wood floors)

I haven't really noticed a difference. I don't prefer any surface over another.

I don't know why wood's better than other surfaces.

Maybe your carpet is flat.

I imagine that it might be an issue for really plush carpets.
