Title: Is pacing on a first floor apartment annoying and what can I replace it with? Post by: jackg on January 26, 2020, 11:29:33 AM I currently live in an apartment block and I rarely see my neighbours but I'm wondering if it's annoying for me to be pacing, on my toes, above them (if they can hear it below) - since I can hear their washing machine.
The internet is turning up very useless in finding search results related to this so I'm wondering if anyone has any alternatives to what I can do. Going outside means I run the risk of being viewed as a "runner" (or setting on fire ;D). But there might be something similar to pacing I can do that might be less annoying for the people below?

Post by: Jet Cash on January 26, 2020, 02:26:18 PM If you have a carpet, and you don't wear shoes, then I doubt if they can hear you. Alternatively, you can run in time with their washing machine. This is quite a good video about exercise -

Post by: jackg on January 26, 2020, 09:55:13 PM Hmmm I have thought of getting weights in the past but I don't know whether his point is to get something almost too heavy to lift and try lifting it).
I've heard of h.i.i.t and I definitely fall into the justaboutaerobic category with pacing so there's that at least, not increasing stress hormones too much. Could do with gaining about half a foot if growth hormone can help with that 🤣. Title: Re: Is pacing on a first floor apartment annoying and what can I replace it with?

Is it because of nervousness or to exercise? You could look for "rubber tile flooring for gym" that has a better shock and sound absorption than carpet.

Normally either jogging on the spot or pacing round through the rooms. Quote Is it because of nervousness or to exercise? Sometimes exercise and sometimes just to take a break from doing regular work and get yourself moving... Quote You could look for "rubber tile flooring for gym" that has a better shock and sound absorption than carpet. Hmm ill have a look thanks. I was thinking a step bench but they seemed quite a bit more expensive and might not work. Title: Re: Is pacing on a first floor apartment annoying and what can I replace it with?

Two and a half feet would make you pacing worse. :) Lifting heavy weights is great if you want to bulk up muscles and pose in a "G" string. I think it is better to go for endurance though. That means more reps with smaller weights. Title: Re: Is pacing on a first floor apartment annoying and what can I replace it with? Post by: Carlton Banks on January 28, 2020, 10:28:57 AM I rarely see my neighbours but I'm wondering if it's annoying for me to be pacing, on my toes, above them possibly, but it depends alot on whether they're sensitive to the noise you can only find out by.... (you guessed it)..... talking to them. Talk to your neighbours, that is the answer to your question (not necessarily about this, as if it bothers them, they will take an opportunity to bring up the pacing in a future conversation anyway) Title: Re: Is pacing on a first floor apartment annoying and what can I replace it with?

I mean they may not have been introduced. :) Title: Re: Is pacing on a first floor apartment annoying and what can I replace it with? Post by: jackg on January 30, 2020, 07:17:25 PM Yeah @carlton, passive aggressive notes are the only accepted forms of communication with people you share a block of flats with...
Wouldn't want to create a bad first impression or grow to dislike each other (actually a bad first impression has worked out very well for me in the past but it still means you have to deal with the few hours of awkwardness). @jetty, I meant more so my back can lift a 20 kilo backpack without throwing me off balance. |
