Low impact does not need to mean low intensity! There are a number of reasons why you may choose low impact modifications – your fitness level, if you’re recovering from an injury, you live in an apartment or just personal preference! These modifications can be equally as effective in getting the heart rate up and building power. To make any exercise low impact – simply remove the jumping portion of the movement while still utilizing the rest of your body to create power. Swing the arms, engage the core, pop up onto your toes, or add more resistance – as always, it’s about listening to your body and doing what feels right for you 🫶🏻
