Hello and welcome to my blog! If you have a desk job and try to do everything possible to stay active, then I recommend you this low impact cardio at home.
There is no need for any equipment, active intervals last for 50 seconds then 10 seconds of rest in between each.
Kelli says great advice during this video about starting a fitness routine "it's really important that you take your time, and you do it right, so you don't want to make yourself hate exercise and you don't want to hurt yourself. There's a very real possibility that you can hurt yourself while working out, especially if you push yourself too hard too fast. So be patient with yourself. Respect your body and listen to the messages that it is sending you all of the time."
Reverse Step + Reverse Arm Circle (good for the chest and shoulders)
Sidestep + Overhead Press (great for arms)
Forward Step + Forward Arm Circle (good for the chest and shoulders.. I think it's very similar to swimming motion)
Pivot Back + Bow & Turn (great for the back, chest, arms, and shoulders)
Pivot Forward + Slow Punch/Extension (works on the entire body)
Bicep Curl + Knee Raises (amazing for balance)
Good Mornings + Calf Raises (great for the back, stomach and legs)
Shallow Side Lunge + Arm Sweep (works on the thighs and arms)
Curtsy Step + Chest Opener (great for the chest and shoulders)
Squat + Chop (for people who hate traditional squats)
-Remember to breathe and not to hold your breaths.
-Move slowly until your muscles get warm.
-Hold on to a wall or a chair if you don't trust your balance.
-Engage your core muscles.
-Motivate yourself, you're doing great :)
This fast and easy low impact workout is suitable for beginners and can be also used as a warmup if you're planning to do a more demanding exercise.
These types of exercises are designed to minimize stress on the joints and muscles, making them ideal for beginners or those with physical limitations.
Low impact workouts typically involve movements that are gentle on the body. They can help improve cardiovascular fitness, increase strength, and promote overall well-being without placing excessive strain on the body.
It is important to start at a comfortable level and gradually increase intensity as fitness improves.
