    I think the issue with carpet is you can torque your knee if your foot gets stuck during a move.

    Now, back to the actual discussion:

    Pro: I prefer working out barefoot at home so having a carpet is good because it provides cushioning. Also if the workout includes any floor work like push-ups, planks, sit-ups, etc, you'll want the extra padding for your back/hands/elbows.

    Con: as PP mentioned, carpet causes friction so certain moves become difficult/impossible (even barefoot)

    IMHO, pros outweigh the cons. I don't do many workouts that include twisting of legs anyway due to wonky left knee.

    Of course you don't have to get carpetting to work out at home, just pick up a mat.
