Great suggestions, all. I have been low impacting my way to fitness recently through spin, boxing (KCM's TLC and Cardio Pump are great), step, Cathe's ICE, and her low impact HIIT offerings. I would also throw in a shout-out for Ellen's Barefoot Cardio, which is a nice low impact way to start a mellower day. AF Check out my blog at www.typeALC.com |

Hi!
It's hard to find good low impact! I second the suggestions Of KCMs boxing, Cathe LIS, Cathe Low max if you can step, spinning..plus Iliaria Power strikes, but you might have to watch the kicking if turbo jams are bothering you. I like Hamelin's Cardiotones, they are like a walking workout with weighted arms, so they give you a arm workout and a good sweat. This is a free one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYvJxfW45sY Charlene Prickett has a bunch of low impact DVDS. Another thread mentioned Millonaire Hoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm4AIOmfZPg; which shows low impact options. I also modify high impact dvds to low impact, because I find they move faster so it makes it more intense. |

Can you do squats and lunges? IIRC, there's hardly any impact in Brazil Butt Lift "Bum Bum," if you have that--it's a 30-minute squat and lunge party hidden in fun (easy) choreography. It's tough but fun.
Do you have "Ten Days to a Better Body" with Cindy Whitmarsh? It's circuits, and for all the cardio she starts with the low-impact version of the move so you never have to figure out how to modify--she's already done it for you. I did this one a few times after spraining my ankle a couple years ago when I couldn't run. And not a workout suggestion, but have you tried compression clothes? I have a cranky hip, and I think I'm starting to get mildly cranky knees, and I swear by my compression capris. I don't think I'd be able to run at all without them, and I started wearing them for walking when I had a problem with bursitis in my bad hip (walking is actually harder on the hips than running). The brand I wear is Underarmour Heat Gear, but when I went to look for a new pair recently couldn't find the same ones.
