Upstairs apartment. Quiet night-time workout?

Fitness Blender has a workout for people who live in apartments. www.fitnessblender.com

Quiet? When I think if a quiet workout I think low impact. If its a resistance training workout, I would advise against using weights as they might clang or make loud noises when putting them down.

That being said what comes to mind are Yoga, Bodyweight Exercises (no impact ones (no jumping rope, burpees, split squat sprints etc). Exercises that one might do with barbells and dumbells can be substituted with resistance bands. Just about any ab routine or other exercises done on the floor should be fine as well when trying to keep quiet.

And dont workout too hard as to cause yourself to grunt too loudly or the lunk alarm may go off.

Good luck with your silent workouts!

The 30 day shred should be pretty quiet, or anything on youtube.

I used to have this issue too and my house was over 200 years old and hard wood floors. It stunk. My cats creaked the floor lol.

I can attest that the 30 Day Shred is NOT quiet! I did it in my old apartment and about 10 minutes into Day 1 my downstairs neighbor knocked on my door and asked me to please stop. There's so much jumping. I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

I got no complaints with this quiet workout: http://fitnessista.com/2013/04/the-quiet-workout/

'Ballet beautiful' its really really challenging but seriously burns the fat...majority of it is floor work but its very satisfying burns in all the right places :-) give it a go

I normally do a 30 minute workout in the morning and I'd love to be able to exercise for around 30 minutes when I get home from work, but it's pretty late in the evening and I live in an upstairs apartment. I like the 30DS/RI30 workouts a lot, but there's quite a bit of bouncing around that I'm sure would disturb the neighbors.

What are some effective "quiet" exercises that you like? (Specifically cardio!) I'm a big fan of the circuit-training style workouts so I'm looking for a variety of strenght/cardio/abs to kind of Frankenstein together for a night-time routine! Thanks so much!

If you can afford it an exercise machine such as a bike is great. Weight lifting is good too. I am in an upstairs apartment as well and found an exercise bike is really great for nighttime because it does not cause any noise.

Have you tried Sworkit?

I'm on a 3rd floor apartment and for awhile, I was doing kickboxing youtube videos, jillian michael's kickboxing fastfix, etc until I heard a banging on the ceiling. Mind you, it was 11 at night so that might have been why :laugh: But even so, I've stuck to doing my cardio at lunch at work then at home, I do weights. Crossfit type of training but without the loud clanging of dropping the weights on the floor like they're on fire. I put them down like a lil infant child :laugh:

Ah okay, I figured there probably was a reason!

On a quick YouTube search I found those Maybe get an exercise bike, or an indoor bike training stand? My dad's a triathlete and uses one of those when the weather's awful and he's craving a good shred! Put a good movie or TV series on and burn away :happy:
