Get Low (Impact): Biceps & Booty Edition

We love a good heart pumping high-impact session, but there is great benefit to low-impact training too. Many define low-impact training as exercise where one foot stays on the ground at one-time. We think it is much more to it than that. You can still reach your fitness goals without walking, rowing or single-leg deadlifting til you “just can’t even” anymore.

Alternating the parts of the body you are working, focusing more on glutes and core, or taking the jump out of a move are great ways to get a great workout while protecting your joints. Time under tension training is also a great way to build strength and endurance at your own pace. To keep things varied and interesting, focus on workouts like Zumba, pilates and barre for long, lean toning. There’s no shortage of ways to still get it in!

One of our Fit with Finesse readers reached out and asked us for a low-impact workout, so that’s what we are delivering. Check out our Biceps and Booty workout, with a breakdown of each move below. Beginners go for three rounds of 45-seconds of work and 15-seconds of rest of each move. Our advanced readers should aim for five rounds of the same timing.
