Hello!!

Does anyone know of good fitness videos out there without jumping? I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor and don't want to be "that" upstairs neighbor. I was thinking about checking out Jillian Michael's Fitness Revolution, but not sure if it has jumping...or what else is out there.

Or of any good online videos on YouTube that anyone follows?

I work out at the gym 4-5 days a week, mostly cardio, but I sort of want to add something else to it. I feel like I'm at a plateau and nothing seems to be changing. I know I need to lift more, but I also don't like to do that alone at the gym.

Really would like to get some toned thighs and stomach..those are my two hated areas (along with most women, right? haha)

Thoughts? Suggestions??

Thanks!!!

    Leslie Sansone Walk at home is something available on Youtube that you could do with downstairs neighbours.

    I am interested to have some options on this too as in May I am moving into an apartment where I believe I will have downstairs neighbours. So all my current home exercise I do will need to change!

    You can always do some pilates or yoga videos. The walking one mentioned already is good too.

    Another option is just to ask your neighbor when is a good time frame to make a little more noise than usual. They'd probably be quite accommodating and happy you were considerate enough to ask.

    I began Pilates for this exact reason. I use POP Pilates, beginner's workout, by Cassey Ho. It's right here on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCg_gh_fppI

    As a previous poster mentioned, POP Pilates is tough, and no jumping required! She has a website with all of her workouts, and you can sign up for her workout calendars here: blogilates.com

    You can always do an option--like do a squat instead of jump. Just adapt it!

    Walk at Home DVDs are great .... look for ones that don't have jogging (or just don't jog).

    Some walking videos on YouTube:

    You can find the "impact level" of many exercise videos at collagevideo.com ..... they also show video clips, give reviews, tell you equipment is required ... a valuable resource before buying anything

    Any of Leslie's walking videos are good for people living in upper levels. Jillian Michael's Body Revolution...requires jumping as you progress through the workouts so I wouldn't advise that one. I'm on my 3rd week and the jumping has started.

    I'm on the 2nd floor too. I do Jillian Michael's stuff (30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, etc.) I just do light jogging in place or punches or skaters without as much impact for any cardio intervals. My downstairs neighbors say that can't hear me and I've had great success with her stuff :)

    I also do the Leslie Sansone walking videos mentioned above too.

    Can't help you on the DVDs, but take the stairs, all the time! Go up and down a couple extra times each day, just because.

    Wearing only socks and jumping/jogging in place over a thick rug might do the trick though.

    If you have a step you could try some step aerobics workouts. I'm sure some have some jumping, but not all do. You can always modify your exercises as well so as not to have to jump or land hard. And if you're looking for workouts for legs, steps will definitely do it.
