Low-impact cardio is a great way to get your heart rate up without putting too much stress on your joints. These bodyweight movements are gentle on the knees and back, but still effective for boosting energy, burning calories, and building cardiovascular endurance.

Equipment needed: A non-slip surface.

Safety Tips:

• Wear supportive shoes and choose a non-slip surface.

• Focus on form, not speed. Keep movements light and controlled to protect your joints.

• Rest if you feel dizzy.
