    you could do low impact dvds. there are some really challenging ones out there.
    or adjust plyo moves so it's more of a little hop to the side than an actual jump.
    like speed skaters for example. plyo is always challenging even if you make it
    low impact.

    also, lots of kick boxing videos can be done in this situation.

    I had a neighbor like that but I told them to get over it. It's about an hour a day, it's not that serious.

    wow

    Pilates! This is why I originally started it - needed to ease into exercise and I live upstairs in a thinly walled set of apartments. I use Youtube Pop Pilates - Beginner's Workout. Trainer's name is Cassie - it's really basic stuff (really I think a Pilates warmup?) but I'm still working on getting it down.

    It's low impact, non-cardio, and feels great.

    This! Pilates, aka floor exercises or isolated ones like crunches, yoga as well., core ball.

    Pilates and yoga are great! Is there anytime they're consistently gone that your home? I wait for my downstairs neighbor (she's awful) to drive away and I do my Turbo Fire workouts :) Not very convenient but it works for me :)

    And I really recommend the 'New Rules of Lifting for Women'. Its lifting "heavy" and its relatively quiet.

    Pilates and yoga are great!

    I got pilates and yoga dvd's when I lived in an upstairs apartment. They worked out pretty well when I was trying to excercise quietly for the guy downstairs... he complained about everyone!

    I ordered "Pilates for Beginners" and "Yoga for Weight Loss for Beginners" from Amazon's website.

    Pushups, Squats, Lunges, and Pullups all make no noise. They are about all you need for a beginner strength and conditioning program.

    As far as cardio GET THE HECK OUT OF THE HOUSE!! go walking, running, hiking, biking ....

    fitness blender on youtube has a workout designed specifically for people like you. I think its call the quiet workout


    I hadn't seen that particular video until you posted this comment and I looked it up. I just did it this morning. It was much more intense than I'd expected it to be! Good workout!

    What does "bump" mean?

    "bump" is used when there haven't been posts in a thread for awhile to keep the thread current.
