WILL THIS MAT MOVE IF I AM DOING ZUMBA WORKOUTS

From the primary user (certified yoga instructor) of the Lifeboard (I was purchaser) -- "The board surface is quite slick, even with tennis shoes on. Having a yoga mat on top helps, but even the mat itself can and does slip somewhat. Have successfully done low-intensity Zumba on that surface but really would not recommend it for that purpose."

I can't imagine this mat would move doing a Zumba workout....but I'm not sure I would recommend it for that purpose. LifeBoard isn't really a "mat", it's a 2-piece plateau on which to place a mat. It actually elevates ~1inch off the ground...and I feel like it might end up sagging in the middle after such rigorous activity like Zumba. I think a person moves around more with Zumba than the space of LifeBoard would accommodate, as well :)

If you're using it on a rug (which is the only reason to buy it, lol), then no. It's underside is textured to grip a rug, mine doesn't slide and I do some crazy yoga.

The life board is made of hard plastic. If you put it on something like a hardwood floor, it will definitely slip. Much less so on carpeting.

When you move it by hand, It definitely slides on pergo (laminate) floor when it is completely open. However, my 2 year old runs and walks over them (I have 2 mats completely open) and they don't move.

Absolutely! In fact, carpet gives you more leverage for the step. Good luck and happy Zumba!

No. Food can come off the mat. And, it is a bit small. It does, however, not move!

I recommend the one that I purchased, which is slightly thicker. I'm assuming that it's slightly heavier and will not move on the carpet. Most treadmill manufactures do recommend a treadmill mat. I am very happy with this purchase, and have been using it for 3 months now without any issues.

You might want to consider getting at least a throw rug to put directly on your hardwood floor and then put the mat on the rug. That way no moisture would get under the mat to damage your floor. The mat also help to lessen the sound of my treadmill, and I'm really glad I have it. If you had to move your treadmill, having the rug under the mat would make it very easy to slide it on your floor. Hope this helps.

Hello Bonnie, the other people answered correctly. It rolls up like a rug and gets quite compact. The only problem I have is that it is a little stiff when rolled up, even more so than an excercise mat. So if you leave it rolled up too long it retains shape for a few days after unfolding.

Shouldn't be a problem. It's a fairly solid and heavy pad. I play it on a couch cushion and the bed and it is solid, no movement at all.

Yes it does! But when you're doing Zumba the music is louder than the swishing sound! I'm good with that!

Not at all. Your feet feel well planted. Its surface is uneven and textured. The mat has suction underneath to hold it in place.

Hey, I'm not really sure - but I actually practice twice a day - Both Ashtanga (Mysore) and Power Yoga -and this mat isn't really non slip. :/

Yes it will leave marks but unless move things around a lot it doesn't matter. I don't shift the mat so if there are marks it still is hidden

Yes. I returned mine, because it was too sort for my exercise bike. But, it is a good mat.

Our Barracuda exercise mat works well on most carpets. It may shift a bit depending on the thickness and shine/gloss of the carpet, but so far most people have found that it works well on carpet. Thanks for your interest in our product:)

I have mine on a laminate wood floor and it doesn't move when I work out on it.

No doubt it. My mat sits on a VERY slick laminate (looks like wood) floor and it hasn't moved an inch.

I use a mat, not the Concept one but the puzzle piece kind, so I'm not 100% sure it that would be fine. My guess would be that it would be, however my only concern would be the sweat... 30min/day is going to produce a lot of sweat, are you going to be ok with it falling on your carpet?
