Does it matter what type of surface you do workouts on, i am working and improving my ab muscles and the exercises are all done on on the floor. Will doing it on the floor instead of a mat make any difference? will it cause any problems?
Nope, just your comfort level. If you are fine doing your exercises on a hardwood floor, more power to you. You'll most likely find you'll be wanting that mat, though. You can also substitute folded towels or rugs, if you don't want to spring for the mat. One thing I will say is that if you're doing any type of high impact exercises, softer flooring helps protect your joints, like your ankles, knees, and hips.
not at all, its just a matter if you feel comfortable enough doing it on the floor, when i do i usually like to lay a shirt down to rest my back ontop of
