I don’t really have a comparison because I live alone but my walls and front door are also thin so I have a limited amount of privacy also. I would put my headphones in and listen to music on my phone so my neighbors won’t hear my music and I would dance in place instead of moving around too much if you’re worried about your roommates. I hope this helps at least a little bit.
I wake up hours before the rest of my household, so my morning exercise is always a restorative style of yoga pratice. I can listen through headphones or play it softly and the gentle movements never bother anyone. It is a great way to start moving and ground myself before I start the rest of my day. I do active energetic exercise (running, biking, dancing 😀) later in the day when everyone is awake, or I head outside for longer early morning sessions.
Yoga is my go to, I also live in a house with other occupants. I recommend yoga with Adriene because her yoga routines are very flexible for time and skill level, so you’ll get a full workout without a lot of noise. And it’s free so win win
I reccomend you buy a airpods, then you can play music anytime you want. How about yoga or stretch? I think that wouldnt make big noise. and prank? it really worked for me
You can get your earphones or headphones and play your music as loud as you choose to yourself. I recently incorporated the yoga practice of sun salutations in my morning routine. My office space is in my bedroom and to not wake my husband at 600 am, I put in my headphones. Yoga is a more gentle movement and will not make a lot of noise. You can also choose to do other low impact movements like stretch’s or body weight exercise such as push-ups and squats, etc. As long as you are rocking out in your head, everything you do will be a bonus . And if the need arises to rock out loud, take a walk to a park or just a brisk walk or run and feel free to rock out in public. Is exciting to let lose and be free. If all else fail, get your roomies to rock out with you also!!!!!
For your music I recommend you listen through a headphone if possible. And for exercise you can always go outside and walk it doesn’t have to be longcoma or you can do yoga that’s also low impact with limited noise this also depends on what yoga style you choose. You can also do full body body weight workout most of the exercise don’t make a lot of noise. Example, push-ups squads leg raises lunges and you can do even more with dumbbells or resistance bands
I recommend Yoga it’s quiet yet so relaxing and can energies you! There’s Yoga with Adrien on YouTube so cool! Use Bluetooth headphones or headsets for music or to follow the yoga lessons!
Sometimes I do this exercise where you squat and as you squat you throw your body down and sweep your hands down and I bounce my legs up and down a few times as I’m fully bent over. Then as you come back up, you stretch your arms upwards to the sky. And repeat
I try to make myself understand that in order to make it work with my habits of excercise i have to do what i have to do and if i might actually bother someone then i would just apologize and try to explain the situation to them.
Try Yoga which some meditation music - meditation music doesn’t have to be too loud or if you want you can skip the music all together and still do the yoga.
