What would be the best cardio to do at home?

I really want to get fitter and healthier. I used to go to the gym and do bodypump, kettle bells and spinning but last year I was in a car crash on the way home and I'm not mentally ready to start driving there again yet so want to work out at home instead

I live in a 1st floor flat so can't really have a treadmill, but could have a small spinning bike or something. Or is something like hiit videos better? I really don't know where to start

Netflix have the new Nike programme which is canny if you’ve not got much time.

i’m currently doing T25 which is old but also brilliant - I’ve just finished month 3 and feel amazing. I just do the workouts, not the diet.

The noise from the cardio programs will be from you jumping up and down. I am in a house and exercise on the ground floor. I have the music quite low so the children aren’t woken up. If your neighbour downstairs leaves at 5pm for work you should be fine in the evening. It depends what time you work out. I usually do it 9-10pm and I would consider that quite late if there are children downstairs. Hope that make sense?

If you used to do body pump, why not get the les mills + app? I think it's free for the first month, so you can try it out and see if you will get enough use out of it without worrying about the neighbours

@hazelnutlatte thank you, I didn't even know they had a normal app, thought it was just for their bikes. I will have a look

@SpringBunnies I'm not really sure how noisy it would be to be honest, he leaves for work at 5pm so I would do it once he's gone and I don't think the neighbours either side would be able to hear. Do body combat and body attack make much noise?

Wouldn't HIIT be noisy for your neighbour downstairs? If not, then I recommend Les Mills on Demand. I do body combat and body attack for cardio mainly. But they have the Les Mills HIIT programs on there. And body pump too.

Try the peloton app - I think you can try it free for 60 days. They have hit cardio workouts that need minimal equipment, plus yoga, barre and even outdoor walks. If you enjoy it you could then buy a spin bike to do their classes on (you can use any spin bike, not just the peloton one) but if you don't want equipment there is still loads you can do
