Low Impact Exercises

Looking for a great way to get in shape and lose weight but without having to strain yourself. Low impact exercises are great for people that are out of shape, older or have suffered injuries in the past. Here are some tips on getting a great work out without over exerting yourself.

The good news is that you can lose as much weight or more without straining yourself. For instance walking is one of the best low impact exercises available. You can lose as much calories with a leisurely walk than by lifting weights. Walking can be done at your pace, almost anywhere and with no equipment. You can lose about 250 calories per hour or more just by taking a leisurely stroll. Walking is also extremely safe.

Another great low impact exercise is swimming. Swimming is possibly one of the best exercises because you use most of your muscle groups. If you don’t have your own pool, you can usually find pools at your local gym or recreational center. Swimming is a great way to relax and work out.

Bicycling is another great low impact exercise. While many people think about mountain biking, you can easily ride a bicycle cruiser which is extremely comfortable and take a few trips per week to the store or just around the neighborhood.

If you have not worked out for a while, are mature or have injured yourself, you should first consult with your physician before starting any exercise program. Your doctor can also recommend great exercises for you as well.
