The No Impact Workout (no equipment needed either!)

This workout is perfect for anyone with sensitive joints, past knee injuries, or if you’re just looking to add a no impact workout into your regimen.

Impact occurs during running, jumping and other activities where you land hard on your feet.  By eliminating these movements you can still get a great workout in, but shouldn’t feel any knee or hip pain :) Heads Up: There is still knee FLEXION (bending) in this workout, just no impact. Enjoy!
