Low Impact Cardio and Strength Workout to Improve Fitness
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This 30 minute low impact cardio workout combined with strength exercises is great for getting in heart healthy exercises while also working on strength. Each cardio movement challenges the body with 45 seconds of heart pumping exercise followed by 15 seconds of rest. This workout will help to improve health and fitness in a safe, no jumping format. Ideally, have two sets of dumbbells available to get in the most benefits (a heavier and lighter set). We'll finish with a few minutes of stretching at the end.

I began this year determined to get my fitness back. I'd had spinal fusion for a serious back injury and had finally been cleared to start working out instead of only just walking (2-4 miles daily) and doing the PT exercises. I checked out a few gyms but felt intimidated and not ready, as well as feeling like I would be injured in a class led by overly enthusiastic 20 somethings. I found you on KZread and have been doing one-three activities on your site each day. I feel so much stronger, more mobile, and happier! You are one of the most encouraging and motivating fitness instructors I have ever encountered - in real life or virtual. Thanks for addressing the needs of the 'more seasoned' demographic.

It's always amazing how our bodies get used to workouts quickly, and when we change up the exercises our muscles react. I'm glad you did this one since it is a well-rounded program. It'll be a good one to mix in with the 2 strength days you're doing.
Hi Jules, although my life has been stressful recently, I promised myself to start back up with my workouts today. The hardest part was getting started, but determined to keep my promise, I did it and am glad that I did. Tomorrow is a long work day for me so I will probably do a short cardio, to get myself back in the pattern I usually do. Thank you!

A little over 3 months after my reverse shoulder replacement, my surgeon cleared me for light weights. This workout was excellent! I used wee little weights and got in a great combination of range of motion and light resistance. And way more fun than working out with resistance bands! Your warmup and cool down are excellent range of motion exercises combined with enough motion to keep the circulation up. I've had a big challenge with hand swelling and after this workout I can curl my fingers tighter than anytime in the last 3 1/2 months. Thanks, Jules! I'll be coming back to this one!

I wanted a fairly quick cardio/strength workout before I head to work and this was a great choice. It made me sweaty and got my heart pounding but it wasn't exhausting. This may turn in to one of my "go tos". I really liked how you incorporated some stretching into the cool down, Jules. All of that arm stretching felt wonderful. Thank you!

Hi Zena, I did reply to that comment but maybe it got missed. I took a course in how to use them, but personally I prefer to use dumbbells and I feel it's risky teaching people how to use them online. If you want to use them, you can use kettlebells in replacement of dumbbells (I use them at home sometimes). But once you start swinging them around, etc., you really need to know what you're doing to remain safe. It is easier to get injured with kettlebells unless you really know what you're doing.
