Hi

Just a quick question is circuit training also cardio? I'm doing a variety of Jillian Micheals workout, and I use to do a lot of walking but the weather is getting colder so I need a low impact cardio workout for home. Not sure if its the same

    She incorporates cardio into her workouts. She also loves jumping jacks and jumping rope, among other not so low impact moves. I have a Gazelle Edge glider that I got from Walmart for less than $100. It folds up so its easy to store and gets your heart rate going but has less impact than walking. I use it when I'm watching TV instead of sitting on the couch. :smile:

    Love Leslie Sansone! Nice low impact(or higher if you want to push extra hard). IT's great to be able to do a 4 Mile Walk in my living room at when the kids are napping or the weather is crappy. I think her 1 Mile is on YouTube.

    The 2 mile is on YouTube as well, it is about 30 minutes. If you keep your abs tight the whole time that really helps too.

  • All her workouts contain cardio :) I hate her plank cardios though...it kills me.
