Low impact cardio circuit (follow link)

I call this my "footless cardio." I actually am blessed with two working feet, but sometimes they hurt. So I set up a circuit of moves that don't aggravate my PF. It alternates between standing and floor calisthenics. It's a ten minute circuit you can repeat as needed. I hope it's helpful to somebody. Here is a link: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/full.../?c=92cfbdbiif The timer is set for one minute per exercise, then you can start it again repeat as many circuits as you like.

Some of the moves sound weird -- the "moonflower" is sort of a plie and reach, from Yogafit, the "standing swan" is from Ellen Barrett, and the mountain climbers are the low impact version. You could add light weights to make the standing moves more challenging.

Scarier than I intended -- I used my newfound post title editing skills to change it.

Thanks, Kathryn! I was somewhat active on VF years ago, then started spending more time on the Firm Ya Yas board. I just updated my profile in case anybody wants to know who I am.

Somebody at work was saying that she doesn't have trouble remembering the new year until February or March, when the novelty has worn off.
