Agreed -- most of Yvette's and Cathe's workouts that have "low impact" in the title aren't my version of low impact!

I can actually use her weight amounts in those and they are easy enough on my leg. Does she have those types of workouts on Cathe Live or are they mostly higher impact cardio?
Oh, if you're doing ICE, then perhaps Cathe Live ~would~ work. Take this with a grain of salt because I'm not currently subscribed and it's been a few months now, but I seem to remember a lot of her workouts were like ICE intensity wise without too much higher impact cardio. You can certainly modify some stuff as I've seen her backgrounders doing that from time to time. You can always subscribe for a month and if it's not working for you, cancel.

If you go to Cathe's YouTube channel, she posts extensive previews of all Live workouts, that should give you a good idea if they are what you are looking for.

I would vote give Cathe Live a try, I definitely modify everything she does to low impact, I think it is very doable. She also has a ton of metabolic workouts.

Good luck in your search and in your recovery!

Cocolime Fitness

I saw Cocolime Fitness mentioned here on another thread and tried some workouts and just love her YouTube workouts. She's geared toward chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia but her workouts are fun and all low impact. She does a lot of old school isometric toning, stretching, pilates, and low impact cardio. She's low key and encouraging. I don't know if her workouts are as advanced as what you are used to but it doesn't hurt to take a look.

Thanks for the great suggestions! I will do a deep dive on YouTube today. Does KCM have previews of her streaming too? I could probably do a lot of weight ones and modify her cardio. Are they similar to her recent stuff?

I looked at her for about ten seconds, and I knew I would not be able to stand it.

Following. I'm always looking for a new instructor channel.

I recently started following Lucy Wyndham-Read, she has lots of short workouts to do in "sparks." From what I can see she is a low impact teacher.

Have you considered chair workouts? That would keep your ankle out of the equation right? Jessica Smith has a couple on her YouTube channel. And, if you search on "chair workouts", you should have a lot of options.

Walking Online Workouts has been my favorite stream for over a year.
The music and simple moves keep me moving.
Usually, I do them while healthbouncing on a bungee then sitting on a chair because the moves are easy to tweak.
I just hold light weights when I want to up the intensity.

you can try her youtube content for free

or the free trial subscription

That is why I love her. She has really good talks on her running podcasts which are also filmed as YT videos. She keeps me focused on the workout more than listening to music which, as much as I love it. I do tend to let my mind wander and not really pay as much attention to my body.
