If you crush a low-impact workout, have you really crushed a workout? The answer – as you'll discover with these hand-picked sweat sessions – is most definitely YES.
There are so many reasons to try low-impact training, and none of them are anything to feel bad about: recovering from injury, new to exercise, injury-prone, noise-sensitive downstairs neighbors...
So are you ready to get moving in a way that works for you? We've lined up 8 workouts that will deliver a full-body burn while showing you that you don't need to jump around to burn fat, build muscle, spike your cardio or improve your functional fitness and mobility.
1/8
Functional Training: All In
You have never felt a fire in your legs or shoulders quite like this. In this workout, the heat is on your core to hold it all together while the functional inferno rages! To keep it low impact, follow the on-screen modifications.
2/8
Dynamic Yoga: Trust Yourself
Just because a workout is low impact, doesn't mean it's easy. Take Tahl Rinsky's Dynamic Yoga – she will challenge your balance and flexibility to get your body into the flow without jolting your joints.
3/8
Bodyweight HILIT: Shape & Strength
Alexz Parvi is the HILIT queen – that's high-intensity low-impact training, if you're new to the lingo! So if you want to burn fat, build strength and tone your entire body without the need for jumping or equipment, you've come to the right mat. She'll show you how to strengthen and sculpt from your shoulders to your butt with this session.
4/8
Centr Fusion BoxHIIT: Blank Slate
Michael Olajide Jr. is here to help you get your cardio on – low-impact style – with the first workout from Centr Fusion. Just follow Michael's workout buddy Lana for the low-impact modifications.
5/8
Plyo: Core & Cardio Circuit
Thought Bobby Holland Hanton’s Plyo workouts were out of reach because of all the, you know, explosiveness? Not with his on-screen modifications to help you to keep it low impact! Even without the bouncing, this cardio and core circuit will keep your intensity switched to 'high'.
6/8
Pilates: Down for It
Not only is Pilates a low-impact training style, it was created to improve alignment, stability and muscle control – which is all going to help if you're looking for workouts to recover from or avoid injury. Hit the mat to work your entire body with Sylvia, and use the inset modifications for any moves you're struggling with.
7/8
HIIT HIRT Strength: Resistance Fire Up
All you need is a set of dumbbells to maximize fat burn and strength gains with the one and only Luke Zocchi. Follow the modifications on screen to reduce the impact, without dropping your intensity.
8/8
Centr Power: Legs of a Legend
It might not be the first training style that leaps to mind when we say 'low impact', but lifting weights fits the bill. Strength training like this lower-body session from Centr Power is great for increasing bone strength and joint health, which can make it beneficial if you require low-impact training due to recurring injury or mobility issues. Plus, you'll be burning fat and building muscle as you go! This is an Intermediate level workout – be sure to select the training level that is right for you, and only lift at a weight that allows you to maintain good form.
