How forgiving are these mats? My wife and I do a lot of DVD workouts and weight lifting (dumbbells and kettlebells) so I am looking for something for our home gym to handle the occasional drop of a dumbbell, yet be soft enough on the feet/knees for jumping around type workouts.
Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles are durable enough to drop weights on them and would give you ample shock absorbency for high impact workouts. Working out on these tiles will be easier on your knees than working out on concrete.
