Are they any good indoor cardio exercises? I'd like to know as many cardio exercises as possible so that I can switch up routine.
I can't run outside because the neighborhood is unsafe.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do at home.
No one lives under me. So it's OK for me to jump around.
I don't want to do treadmills since I hear about repetitive stress injures due to lack of diversity in the running surface.
Thanks.

Try this. I gave it to someone else a while back. It's a copy / paste of the original.
2 minutes jogging.
5 minutes stretching.
45 seconds High Knees
45 seconds Squat Thrusts
45 seconds Jumping Jacks
45 seconds Scissors, (placing hands on a Step or Weight Bench)
45 seconds Star Jumps
1 minute rest.
60 seconds High Knees
60 seconds Squat Thrusts
60 seconds Jumping Jacks
60 seconds Scissors, (placing hands on a Step or Weight Bench)
60 seconds Star Jumps
1 minute rest
45 seconds High Knees
45 seconds Squat Thrusts
45 seconds Jumping Jacks
45 seconds Scissors, (placing hands on a Step or Weight Bench)
45 seconds Star Jumps
5 minutes stretching
The whole circuit takes approximately 26 minutes 45, so that should give you something challenging to do, that doesn't take a long time.
Just work at your own pace, don't go crazy, this is not way difficult, but it will be if you work the circuit like a crazy person.
If the circuit feels a bit difficult, trim the stations down, so 45 secs to 30 secs, 60 to 45, so you cut nearly 4 minutes off it in total.
Do this 2-3 times a week, with a day inbetween each workout, don't do this workout on concurrent days.
