Low-Impact Workouts by Keino Rutherford | Apr 13, 2022 | Exercise, Fitness, Health
Maybe you’re not into running as much as you used to be. Or perhaps you have joint troubles and just want to get in a little bit of a low-impact exercise. Low-impact doesn’t necessarily mean low intensity. Instead, you’ll be getting the heart-pumping and endorphin-boosting benefits of regular exercise without adding stress to your joints. Here are some ideas for low-impact workouts to get you started.
WALKING Unlike running, which has a flight phase, walking has no flight phase. This means that at least one foot is always in contact with the ground while walking, which eliminates the risk of injury. Although walking is not as effective as running in some ways, it can still improve endurance and burn calories. It’s also a great low-impact exercise that can help people lose weight. keinorutherford.org/low-impact-workouts/
