Hi, I'm trying to find low impact workout videos on line. It's not easy. I have found 2 so far that are 5 minutes each. So I do those each 2 times to get my 20 minute workouts in but they are getting boring now. lol

Does anyone use any on line video workouts that they would like to share? I really feel it helpful to use videos to motivate myself into working out. I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks, Jackie

    zumba, actually most cardio dance videos are low impact. low impact has nothing to do with intensity, intensity should be adjusted to capability. Jumping jacks, jumping rope, steping up and down, ect are examples of high impact. you should be good with a zumba video.

    I walk around my neighborhood - just walk. My arthritis won't let me run. As I've gotten in better shape, I walk faster. When it's raining, I've "mapped out" a course through my house & set the timer and walk as fast as I can for at least 20 minutes.
    Walking is good & the more you do the better and the more it's not so hard. maybe that's just me... :happy:
    Good luck,

    I've looked at zumba but it requires the twisting of the knees, doesn't it?
    correct me if i'm wrong!

    I have heard a lot of good things about Zumba. I have not tried it but my niece loves it. I was looking more on the lines of free videos on line. I am in $ saving mode and just looking for some free workouts to use. Thank you for the info!

    I do the same thing. I walk a lot now with my dog. He helps me keep a pace and I go for a 20 minute walk once or twice a day with him. It is great and I love it. I just want more workout than walking alone. I'm glad it works for you - walking is great esp. with a dog! :)
