Hello, I don't finish work until 5 but get home at 6 pm. I start working out for about 8 pm after tea however I also have a very grumpy old downstairs who complains when my three year old daughter jumps around let alone 11 stone me! What quiet cardio exercises are there if any?

Go outside.0

What about mountain climbers? Those tend to get my heart rate up without making too much noise.0

It's after 8:00 at night and she has a three-year-old. Not a good suggestion.
How about kettlebells?0 -

That may not be an option
Kettlebells are quiet (as long as you don't drop it) and can give a wide range of cardio workout from easy to extreme.
They also take little space and are great for increasing core strength.

look on local buy sell sites on facebook or on craigslist for used (and cheap) exercise bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, etc. I've seen them in every imaginable price range including under $500

Bring the kid with you?
Have someone else look after the kid for 30 minutes to 1 hour?
Move?
Break into your neighbours apartment while they're sleeping, tie them up and gag them?0 -
ipod, headphones, dance music. just don't jump.0

I do yoga on youtube or dvd.. that's quiet and a good workout. Crunch Fitness had good low impact workouts... I like Ellen Barrett.
Good luck... I have the same problem!

I'm going to assume that this is sarcasm and just a pointless reply but just in case you are just being a tad uninformed, I'll help you out.
1. A three year old child should be asleep by 8 pm
2. I've already stated that isn't possible
And for the other two I won't even waste my time. Now take your pointless, unhelpful *kitten* off my post. Thank you-2 -

Kettlebell Swings, bodyweight squats, push ups and pull ups in a circuit.0

Leslie Sansone Walk At Home or Jessica Smith Walking videos...these are low impact aerobics. I do these on carpet which muffles the noise further. You can also buy cheap (kids) puzzle mats to put on the floor if needed.0

Treadmills aren't quiet.0 -
Have you considered working out on your lunch break instead of when you get home? Then you can go outside & make all the noise you want
Stuff to do inside that is quiet:
squats (bodyweight or with a backpack full of cans if you don't have access/money for dumbbells) pushups (you can do them on your knees or off your kitchen counter if you can't do them reg)
lunges
bicep curls and other upper body exercises (again dumbbells or stuff around the house)
Shadow boxing
yoga
go up and down your stairs a bunch of times doing different squats/leg exercises

What about a morning workout, or a lunch time session?
If it's an option, maybe walking to work and back? What about a walk after work with your little one, if that's not to late?
Me personally, I'd just do the workout at home and wouldn't think twice about the person living below... it's your space too and I can't imagine you'll make THAT much noise.
Good luck!0 -
+1 on the kettlebells. You can get a very strong metabolic push with bodyweight work (air squats, push ups, etc.) and mixing in some kettle bell work.0
