Safe Aerobics – Low-Impact
If you are looking to keep fit but suffer from problems
with your hips, knees and ankles you might want to opt for
low-impact aerobics. Low-impact aerobics is far easier on
the lower limbs – both feet are on the ground at any
one time. Hence forces on the legs are much reduced and
so is the strain on joints. Exercise and the necessary increased
heart rate for improved fitness rely on upper body movements
only.
Typical low-impact activities include aerobic dancing,
water aerobics, inline skating, line dancing, and brisk
walking.
Most sports and community centres now run this form of
exercise so why not check out your local facilities and
join in the fun.
