Anybody use these for P90X or Insanity? I'm wondering if plyo work outs would be better with the foam mats vs. this heavy duty mat

I've done P90X and crossfit and I would recommend this mat. I don't slide, slip, or sink like on a foam mat. And your weights won't ruin the mat.

I'm doing Insanity Max:30 on these right now and they're perfect. P90X would be good on them too. They're super heavy duty and don't move at all while doing plyo workouts unlike the foam mats.

I found these to be comparable in effect to an abductor machine, but I've been using them with the Insanity: The Asylum v.2 workout. I haven't measured the actual resistance, but using them is no cakewalk. That said, I find myself using the Medium and Heavy bands exclusively, so the X-heavy might be better for more resistance.

P90x3 is more well produced than it's predecessors. The production value is higher, and the exercises are strategically and purposefully designed to get the job done in 30 minutes. P90x is not as tight as p90x3.Both are great, however, and I do the Doubles because I want more and quicker results. But that's a very big commitment because you need a lot more rest and planning - very difficult to do two back to back.

Personally I think these are much more heavy duty than the 9154 model workout adding weight to the product. You still get great leverage to cut big limbs and can handle small ones with ease too. I've done a lot to mine and never worry about them breaking

Depends on the frequency of use. They're really light weight, so if you're looking for excersize they'll be a little lacking. Try getting a heavier set.

I bought a 6-pieces puzzle mat for my laminate floor, but didn't like it: too much hassle assembling/disassembling every day, and it slides over my laminate floor.I ended up using the beachbody jump mat that I got with my insanity deluxe package.the size is enough to do Insanity, it has a good grip on laminate floor, I rotate it sometimes for pushups, and it works well with my cross-trainers shoes.only drawback is that you need some workout gloves: when your palms are wet, the mat can be slippery.

I have a pretty extensive collection of the SKLZ brand bands I've bought at Dick's Sporting Goods while I was doing P90X and they range from $5-20 depending on weight resistance. I cannot help with cardio belt because I have not used it because I don't have doors that will work with it.

Not sure what px90 is, but in my opinion, this mat will definitely work for lifecycle. It is heavy duty. The surface is hard, not soft like some other gym mats. I have it on my wood floor, and it does not move around.

Yes, in fact I bought this mat specifically because I could feel the hardness of my concrete floors with other mats. This has very dense foam and I can do sit ups comfortably so I imagine you can do yoga/Pilates as well.

Maybe... I use the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution workout. So depending upon how similar those are. The mat is thick and well-cushioned.

Research "Horse Stall Mats". I picked up 2 of these at my local farm supply store. These are NOT your average cheapo foam gym floor mats. These are hard (but not too hard) rubber, and resemble what the professional gyms use! Can take abuse, weight/plate drops. Great for deadlifting heavy loads. This mat supports my rack like a champ. Love it!

P90x3 is completely different from P90x. Its faster paced and not so much about weight lifting as P90x.

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

I would also like to tell people about the Fitness Trends "Ultimate Push Up" I picked up a set for just $10 at my local Big Lots! I havent personally compared its construction to the other models, but I am a former Soldier who weighs a bit over 200 pounds, and I havent noticed ANY problems with this devices structure or construction. It has a fairly solid grip with comfortable foaam covering a hard plastic? I am sure that the foam will start to peel off eventually, but for right now; I couldnt be happier for my $10.

I don't go to the gym so I don't really know how they would do. I would suggest purchasing a set of comply foam tips as they seal up nicely and seem to me they would stay in place during a work out.

Definitely would NOT use these for yoga.... as far as resistance training with machines, they are good to use on your heaviest sets. =]

I have the fluidity barre and use it with my physique57 dvd's but I have also used the dvdks without the barre and had good results. I just started doing the monthly challenge and I'm already seeing results.
