I've been doing lots of kettlebell swinging in my living room now that it's too cold to swing outside. One dropped kettlebell will crack my tile floor. So, I started to research exercise mats. Someone on Amazon suggested buying a horse stall mat instead and referred folks to Tractor Supply Company. There happens to be one close enough to my house so I bought one of these.
Rubber Mat, Black, 4 ft. x 6 ft. - For Life Out Here
It cost $40 plus tax for a 4' x 6' rubber mat. It's 3/4" thick. I've not tested it with a hard drop but it might be able to take it. It's quite firm so I wouldn't use it for rolling or other gymnastic practices.
I don't know if they will ship it to you but it might be pricy to ship as it's quite heavy.
Anyway, thought I would share this tip. Use at your own risk since I don't know how well it would protect your floor against a heavy weight dropping.
