Low-impact training is a great way to build your fitness with a reduced risk of injury, and it’s perfect for beginners or anyone wary of running or HIIT workouts with lots of jumping because of the impact involved.
You can achieve your health goals without this type of high-impact training, including increasing your cardio fitness and burning a significant number of calories during your workouts.
This 20-minute standing workout from fitness trainer Maddie Lymburner, who goes by MadFit on YouTube, is a great example of how low-impact sessions can be highly effective, and it’s perfect for beginners in particular.
You don’t need any equipment for the workout, but if you have one of the best yoga mats at home, it’s worth rolling out to provide better grip.
