]]> If you are looking for ways to mix up your lower body exercises, then it’s time to add in the Cossack squat. This is a low-impact, mobility and strength exercise that will work wonders for your hips and lower back. The Cossack squat is a lateral exercise that you do by squatting down on one leg while extending the other leg out to the side.

…………

Whilst most lower body exercises work on moving your body forward or backward, not many of them work on the frontal plane of motion. Since the Cossack squat involves moving side to side, it can help prevent muscle imbalances and train the body in different directions that what it is used to with squats and lunges.

The Cossack squat also supports hip mobility as it opens and strengthens the hip joint. As you go down and up, you flex and extend the hip on the working leg. Your hip adductors on the extended leg will also receive a good stretch with the movement.

This squat will also keep your joints safe as it is really low impact and is done mostly with body weight. It also works on all your lower body muscle groups, especially the gluteus medius and your obliques.

]]> Both yoga and pilates are low-impact workouts and are great for all ages and gentle on your joints. They reduce the risk of injury, increase awareness of your body, and work on your breathing. But what are the differences between these two routines?

The Differences

While breath work is important in both yoga and pilates the way you breathe in yoga is opposite to how you breathe in pilates. In yoga, you engage your core to inhale and in pilates, you engage the core on the exhale.

Yoga has more variety than pilates, with vinyasa and Hatha, and it is down to the various flows and speeds. In most yoga classes you will flow through poses and use your body weight as resistance, focusing on balance and flexibility. Whereas pilates, in general, is more fast-paced and you can use resistance bands, an exercise ball, a roller, or the reformer bed.

The Benefits

Yoga is good for the mind and body and supports more body awareness, strength and flexibility. Yoga breathing can help you to manage stress and can help to decrease inflammation in the body.

Pilates engages all your muscles and strengthens the core like no other workout. With a stronger core, you will improve your posture and start to sit straighter, and feel less tension in the neck and shoulders. You will feel stronger all over and will help you to feel more relaxed in your day-to-day life.

]]> It’s the age-old dilemma, do you do your cardio workout before you lift weights or after? Well, it all depends on what your fitness goals are.

If your goal is to keep your heart and lungs healthy, you should be doing your cardio before you lift weights. But if fat loss or muscle building is more your speed, make sure to do your strength training first, and follow it up with cardio. If you are working out 3-4 times a week and splitting your workout into upper and lower body strength days, you should do cardio after strength, but if your goal is general fitness, then it doesn’t matter as much which one you start with—just do whichever you want to get out of the way.

It is advised to do strength training at least twice a week and low-impact cardio exercises you can do every day. So, if you only have time for an hour workout at the gym twice a week, make sure you are focusing on your goals and taking them into consideration when planning your workout.

It is important to have a little of both in your week, whatever your main focus is. So if you can find time for a 20-minute walk per day on top of your strength training, you will see even better results.

]]> When you are feeling stressed the best way to help you feel better is to do move your body. You don’t have to do a heavy strength workout to feel the de-stressing benefits. In fact, low-impact exercises actually work much better. Low impact workouts also take the load off your joints and ligaments, but you can still get your sweat on while doing them. Here are three low impact exercises you can do to help you feel less stressed.

Walking

Walking helps you to manage your weight and can prevent heart disease and high blood pressure. It is easy and free and can be done any time of the day. You can of course make it a little harder by finding routes with an incline, to get your heart rate up. Walking can improve your mood, especially when it’s just you and nature and your favorite tunes.

Swimming

You will work all your muscles in a swim session but being in water makes the workout lower impact on your body. You don’t have to think about anything except moving through the warm water. Take a morning swim in the ocean to really feel your stress falling away.

Pilates

Pilates is a great way to help you lower your stress levels. It is slow moving, but focuses on your breath, which will calm down your nervous system and it is a great workout. Pilates effectively improves muscle strength, balance, and quality of life. Find an instructor you love and settle into a class! All you need to think about is breathing and moving your body.

]]> The rowing machine is sometimes overlooked at the gym as it can be slightly repetitive and boring, but in actuality, it is one of the best full-body cardio workouts you can do. It can improve posture and tone the lower body, and the major muscles in your legs, arms, back and core must all be activated when using the machine.

Here are four reasons you should include the rowing machine in your workout.

High Intensity, Low Impact

Unlike the treadmill, you’re able to get your sweat on without injuring your knees or ankles. It can increase your cardio fitness without putting stress on your bones and joints.

Strengthen Your Core and Glutes

When you row, your core crunches and relaxes as you glide along the machine, meaning you’re doing a mini sit-up every time you row back and forth. Not to mention, pushing with your legs works on your glutes.

Track Your Improvements

If you want to get faster or build your endurance on the machine, you can start to track your improvements with the help of the information you will see on the screen. You can track your speed, Kcals, and time, and start to increase every workout.

Compliments Your Strength Workout

It can be a great ending for your strenth workout, instead of spending 30 minutes on the cross trainer, all your need is 10 minutes of intense rowing and your heart rate will increase and your arms and legs will be burning.

]]> Jumping jacks are one of those HIIT exercises that we’ve all been performing since our elementary school days, but they’re not a good fit for everyone. This popular move isn’t so great for your joints, and here are three knee-friendly, low-impact alternatives to try instead.

Half Jacks

Performing jumping jacks halfway through makes all the difference when it comes to your knees. You don’t have to lift your arms all the way above your head when doing this exercise, and the range of motion is significantly cut to avoid potential injuries.

Side Jacks

Jumping to spread your feet and then jumping again to bring them back together is one of the worst parts of doing jumping jacks. You can substitute jumps with heel taps in this low-impact variation that is much better for your body because it doesn’t add too much pressure on your hip and knee joints.

Plank Jacks

Planks are one of the most popular core exercises on the market, and the list of variations is pretty much endless. This exercise is all about performing jumping jacks in plank position, but no jumping is actually involved because your hands and toes are on the floor the whole time.

]]> As 2021 approaches its end, lists of leading trends for the New Year are showing up everywhere. Pinterest shared their own, covering everything from beauty and fashion to wellness and fitness, and they’re predicting that low-impact workouts will be all the rage in 2022.

Flexercise made the cut as one of the biggest trends of 2022 and it’s all about taking things slow and embracing a more relaxed vibe when working out.

“Low impact is the new high intensity. This year, people of all ages will fall in love with more mellow ways to move their bodies. From starting a daily stretching routine to nature walks, it’s time to choose your own adventure,” reads Pinterest’s press release.

Simple dance moves are one of the most-searched workout-related terms on Pinterest and they’re perfect for everyone who’s struggling with fitness motivation, especially with so many dance cardio YouTube workouts out there.

Lazy workouts in bed also made the cut, together with a daily stretching routine. If you enjoy working out at home, these trends are a perfect fit for you and they allow you to stay active without putting in too much effort. In case you prefer heading to the great outdoors, walking in nature is also a huge hit on Pinterest and it’s great for both your physical and mental health.

]]> Running is one of the most popular exercise types in the world. But it’s also a high-impact activity that can lead to lower-body injuries. One way to mix up your routine as a runner is to try aqua jogging—a form of exercise that crossbreeds running and swimming. It can help maintain cardiovascular endurance, be done indoors or outdoors, in a guided class, or independently.

Who Is Aqua Jogging Best Suited For?

Aqua jogging is a low-impact exercise that can reduce the wear and tear from road running. As such it’s great for older adults, and injured runners. Water-based exercises have been shown to help with the regeneration of new muscle fibers, so aqua running allows you to stay active while you heal.

Another demographic that can benefit from this sport are pregnant women. Just like other water aerobics, water jogging is a safe option for those who are expecting.

What Are the Benefits of Aqua Jogging?

Water jogging is great for building strength. According to the Arthritis Foundation, water provides 12 times the resistance of air. Because it’s harder to move through, you work harder when jogging in water, and thus burn more calories and increase muscle strength.
