Try some of these low impact cardio alternatives to mix up your fitness routine.
Running is great exercise but some of us can’t get through a mile without our knees aching or our ankles swelling. Why is that? Running is essentially a form of PLYOMETRIC training with a lot of impact on our joints. So if you want to get in extra cardio, without hitting the streets for a run – here are some low impact cardio alternatives to try.
Body weight squats for time 30s on 30s off for 20 minutes (If you are advanced enough).
Kettlebell swings 30s on 30s off for 15 minutes (visit YouTube and search for “gray cook swing” for proper instructions).
The rower do 500 m. x 5-10. Work your way up.
Medicine ball slams with push ups 20 seconds of each with a 20 second break in between for 15 minutes.
