Noise Etiquette Tips
- Train mid-day or early evening when ambient building noise is higher
- Use a triple-layer mat setup: rug + yoga mat + rubber tile
- Jump near the center of the room, away from shared walls
- If a neighbor knocks, switch to shadow rope for the rest of the session
Joint Kindness Rules
- Start with 5–8 minutes of actual jumping per session
- Add 1–2 minutes per week if next-day legs feel fine
- Sharp pain = stop immediately; shin soreness = lower hop height and add mat layers
