Is this mat good for jumping rope?

The mat slides too easily if on wooden floors. I'd use caution if jumping or excercising on it.

The mat is rather soft for children's activities. A kids plastic placemat would be a better alternative.

Yes. That is what I make and use the mat for. I thought the mat was awesome.

My daughter jumps on it daily and although the bands are holding up, the mat has a permanent dip where she jumps. It's about 6 months old.

No, it's light weight but this is made to cover a little have your body. If you are looking for something a little longer, then this is not the mat for you. It is a light cushion that does the job. This does not come with a cover so if you want to roll it up, then get a good rope. Hope this helps..

yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be... » Read More yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. « Show Less

Yes. Actually, the mat didn't work for me. It was too slippery and I was able to return it for a full refund.

yes great for jumping and absorbing impact on knees. I have mine carpet and it moves very little.

It could be used for step up exercises, but without the blue mat it has holes in it so that two or more can be stacked. I see no problem using it with the blue mat it has adhesive and stays in place nicely. You may need more that one depending on how high you wish to step up.

The surface will dictate the longevity of the rope fibers. If you're using it on something soft, like grass/dirt, it will be ok. I use mine on martial arts mats, indoors. Probably the best combination for maximizing the rope's usage. The sun exposure will shorten the life of the ropes fibers, as well.

we have been really happy with our skywalker trampoline and have no fear of anyone falling though the trampoline mat .. the mat is exposed to full sun all last summer and has worn well . we do take the jump mat off in the winter months so the weight of the snow does not damage or stretch it .however , we have only had use of it for one summer

Hi , What I do with my jump rope is put a mat under my feet if I am jumping on concrete. That solves it. If the concrete is smooth then no problem, but a mat is best. Hope this helps. MK

My son jumps up and down trying to shake the fence when he has temper tantrums. It holds up just fine. That said, ours is cable-tied down to rubber mats (link below). I highly recommend this solution, as in addition to shaking, many kids try to move the walls of these things and can move the entire pen around the room. The mats are also good for softening falls and barf clean up. Wonder Mat Non Toxic Extra Thick Mats (4 Set), Gray, 2' x 2'

No, this rope isn't ideal to be used as a resistance rope. It only has enough stretch to keep it durable, but a bit too much and I feel that it may snap.

The mat is a great size for lunges and other exercises that cause you to stretch. Although I wish it was padded a little more.

Because this is one of the thicker pads, it stands up to jumping quite well. The bottom is not slick. It's like a foam-ish material that offers some resistance to slipping. I prefer these thicker foam pads to the flimsy thin ones.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.
