Hi all,
Looking for generic on advice on minimising kettlebell noise for downstairs neighbours.
I've searched the forum and have not found a lot on this. I found this thread Kettlebell - Downstairs Neighbours, but it's closed and the problem for the person asking seems to have resolved itself without drastic measures.
In the last two buildings I've lived in, I've had neighbours complain about noise. In the last building in Sydney, I bought some foam mats and thought that helped, but when I moved out my neighbour said he still heard the thudding sound.
I moved to Paris last year. So far my neighbours downstairs and the ones on the level below that (!) have complained. This morning they said the building shook.
I try to really settle the kettlebell down, make that part of the technique etc., and I use a doubled-over yoga mat and two thick towels.
Does any have any generic advice on this? Am I still just using bad form?
I really love the morning kettlebell ritual and would be sad to give it up. Getting to a gym in Paris sucks, too.
