Who Else Does Low Impact, High Intensity

[LoveVA]

After doing Low Impact Sweat this morning, I was wondering if there are any other instructors who have produced great low impact workouts that are also high intensity.

Cathe is a master a creating such workouts and I think Ilaria's Powerstrikes have a pretty good intensity level (especially #7) while being low impact, but I was wondering if there was anyone else? Not necessarily HiiT-type workouts, either.

LoveVA, have you tried Shelly Dose or Millionaire Hoy on YouTube? I have found their workouts to be pretty satisfying. I consider Shelly lower intensity than Millionaire, but her moves are creative and she has a great personality. Here's a sampling of their low impact workouts:

I actually bought a Bowflex Max for low (no) impact Hiit workouts because I reached the intensity limit for low impact exercise videos. Nothing gets my HR up as Max does.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I've never done Shelly Dose or Millionaire Hoy. I took a quick look at some of the workouts and I'll definitely try them.

As for the Bowflex, we don't have any room for more equipment but that sounds like a good idea as well.

Shelly Dose—thanks for that!

Charlene Prickett's old "Low Impact, High Intensity" workout (yes, that's really its name) is one of my favorites. I do it with a weighted vest and light hand weights, and it's a really good workout. You can buy it on DVD. The Charlene Prickett low impact "It Figures" shows are also good, but they're each only about 20 minutes long so they are not long workouts.

I find that Shine Dance Fitness' videos (many on YouTube) are 95% low impact while being very intense. Mind you, they're not drills so if you don't like dancy stuff they won't be for you, but they are lots of fun.

Is there somewhere I can see a clip? It doesn't seem like Mary sells this one and Amazon only has VHS.

if you have a HRM, you can find many options within your own collection.

be sure to include workouts that might be considered "toning" - some of them can really register high on the cardio effect.

And if you like drills and dancy stuff at the same time; how about belly dance videos? I could tell you I've liked Amira Mor, Dolphina, Leilania, Oreet ... and on and on
