Many people try to introduce a lot of intense high-impact moves into their workout routine to make it more effective, but this approach doesn’t work for everyone. Low-impact workouts could be a better fit for you, and here’s why you should consider giving them a try.

Pain and Injuries

High-impact workouts, especially the ones that include a lot of jumping, can be very hard on your joints. If your legs and knees are hurting after every gym session, you should consider switching to a low-impact routine that won’t put you in harm’s way every time.

External Signs

There are a couple of external signs you should pay attention to to determine if your workout is wrong for you. If you’re constantly experiencing tiredness, hunger, and stress, and you’re struggling to fall asleep almost every night, it’s time to switch things up and try a more relaxing routine.

Home Workouts

Another major advantage of low-impact workouts is their apartment-friendly nature. They’ll be the perfect fit if you’re working out from home because most of them don’t require any equipment, and you won’t disturb your neighbors with constant jumping along the way.

Low-impact workouts are easier on your joints as there’s no jumping or hopping, which puts you less at risk for injury. If you’re looking to work up a sweat and get your heart rate racing with low-impact workouts, here’s how to do it.

Add Weight

To make the exercise more intense, add weights like a kettlebell when you’re completing squats or lunges or wear a weighted vest or ankle weights for walking exercises.

Resistance Bands

Resistance bands wills make your workouts more intense by ramping up the impact. For squats, add a resistance band around your thighs to make your muscles work harder as you work against your own body weight and the resistance of the band.

Switch Up the Pace

A faster pace results in a faster heart rate and more calories burned. In addition, if you slow things down, it can make the exercise more difficult.

Cardio Intervals

If you love a high-calorie burn, but don’t want high-impact moves like burpees and high knees, you can get a similar effect by using a cardio machine like a stationary bike or elliptical and doing interval work.

Compound Movements

Compound movements work more than one muscle group at the same time. The exercises boost your heart rate and increases the demand on your body. Some compound movements include deadlifts, squats, pullups, and bench presses.

While many people associate high-impact workouts with being more effective than low-impact workouts, it’s important to incorporate low-impact workouts into your routine. Low-impact workouts include swimming, cycling, and weightlifting and there are so many reasons to give them a try besides for them just being joint-friendly.

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.
