Working out on the 2nd floor

I really like it, but I'm having trouble working in the cardio. I live on the 2nd floor above my landlady. I was jumping rope and running in place and she has pretty much told me to knock it off. Is there any cardio that I can do on the 2nd floor and not get evicted? I was thinking of getting a mini trampoline thinking it would absorb shock and not "thump" downstairs? Any suggestions?

There is a program out by Chris Ballantyne (i believe) called afterburn, if you would be interested. It is basicly calisthenics done at a fast pace, alternating between upper body and lower body exercises, with no rest in between sets. Just an alternative. -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.

I looked online for Afterburn. It sounds good, but I just can't find any information anywhere. Do you have any other clues?

It sounds like propaganda, and the guy can be a little self promoting, but he knows his stuff, even if he does oversubscribe to one form of training... http://www.cbathletics.com/ -------------- Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.
