Do Something You Enjoy

If going to the gym and running around the track isn’t your thing, that’s totally fine. What’s important is to be moving regularly and getting your heart rate up—you don’t need to do a hardcore traditional workout to exercise. If you like dancing, try putting on an upbeat playlist and dancing and jumping around your room for 15 minutes every day. If you like exploring, try going on a long walk around your town or in nature a few times a week. Use your hobbies as a reason to exercise!

Turn it Into a Break

Exercise is also a great way to blow off steam. Getting your heart rate up every so often during your workday can help concentration. If you’ve had a bad day at work, or you can feel yourself losing steam, try doing sets of jumping jacks at your desk or going for a power walk after work to help relieve some stress from day-to-day life.

Jumping is often a crucial part of HIIT workouts, but there are a few reasons why people avoid it. Some simply don’t like it, others avoid it because it puts too much pressure on their joints, and it can also be extremely noisy.

Robertson’s HIIT workout includes no jumping, but you need a set of small dumbbells for certain exercises. The workout may be low-impact, which isn’t stopping it from being intense, and it takes about half an hour to go through all the moves.

After warming up, you’ll do a wide range of full-body motions ranging from squats, calf raises, push-ups, leg lifts, deadlift lunges, and curls, and many more. Robertson used dumbbells in many exercises, but they’re not necessary if you don’t have them or if you’re still a beginner.

Less Recovery Time

Because high-impact workouts are tough on your body, they result in more time to recover. With low-impact workouts, you can reduce your rest days while still getting all the benefits from exercising.

Increased Stability and Balance

With high-impact workouts, you’re moving really quickly which doesn’t give your body time to stabilize. Low-impact workouts are all about slow, stationary activities that allows you to work on your balance.

Reduced Risk of Mobility-Related Injury

In addition to being joint-friendly, low-impact workouts reduce the risk of injury. For high-impact exercises if you don’t have good hip or ankle mobility, you’re more likely to get injured.

Increased Range of Motion

With low-impact workouts, you’re more likely to use a full range of motion, which can increase flexibility and strength.

Muscular Endurance Gains

To get stronger, low-impact workouts are important because when you do high-impact workouts, they can be easier due to momentum helping you cheat. When you slow down the exercise, the muscles have to work harder.

Many of the home workout videos that are going viral these days include a lot of jumping, but this regiment doesn’t suit everyone. If you want to avoid putting too much stress on your feet or simply don’t want to disturb your neighbors, low-impact workouts are the perfect fit.  

The only thing you need to perform these exercises is a yoga mat and a little bit of time. It takes ten minutes or less to go through all of the exercises and Justiz recommends doing them on the days when you don’t feel like doing anything and just want to stay in bed, especially since most of the moves can be done lying down.

Some of the moves included in her “Lazy Girl” videos are leg raises, planks, fire hydrants, lunges, and squats. Many of the exercises target several muscle groups at the same time, and you’ll get an amazing full-body workout by the time you go through all of them.

Low Impact

Swimming is a low impact form of exercise. This means that it doesn’t involve trauma to the joints like other forms of exercise such as running. Low impact exercises are kinder to the joints and they help prevent injury.

Regular Breathing Work

Swimming is a great way to train your breath and enhance lung capacity. Because you are under water, swimming forces you to take breaths at regular intervals. This skill can be carried over into other sports for improved performance.

Strengthens the Core

While all cardio will strengthen the core muscles to some degree, swimming is especially good at developing those foundational muscles. You have to use your whole body equally to push yourself through the water.

Increases Flexibility

Because swimming employs the whole body, it improves the flexibility of all kinds of muscles all over your body. Rather than making the same movements all the time, the act of swimming gently loosens the muscles.

Releases Endorphins

While all exercise releases endorphins to some degree, swimming makes you especially happy since it’s been found that being in water increases the amount of endorphins that are released.

Low Impact

Firstly, it’s a low impact exercise, which means you can do it without worrying about causing any harm or pressure on your joints. It also means that it’s safe to do with some injuries that would prevent you from other forms of cardio.

Convenient

Another great thing about walking is that you can pretty much do it anywhere. You don’t need a running track or a field—you can just pop out onto the street and off you go!

Good For Your Heart

Walking is a gentle, but great, way to get your heart rate up to a mild level. You won’t normally get super out of breath, but you’re still moving around and that will strengthen your heart in a gentle way.

Good For Your Mind

Walking is also a brilliant way to clear your mind and give you some time to be alone with your own thoughts, which is incredibly beneficial for your mental health.
