| hi I have an old house in Boston, built about 150 years ago. It has been rehabbed inside, but the floors upstairs are beautiful pumpkin pine...but when you walk/jump on them the whole room shakes. I want to put a treadmill in one room, but worried about the impact. Is it possible to stabilize the floors somehow and keep the pumpkin pine?
THANKS Kristin |

| It isn't the floors, it is the structure holding them up. To reinforce that, you would have to take the ceiling out of the room below. |

| I wonder if putting the treadmill on a mat of some sort might help, maybe something similar to what I have linked below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Soft floor tiles
