Low-impact exercise training includes any kind of exercise that puts minimal stress on the joints. The goal with low-impact workouts is to keep the body moving well without putting it through unwanted or unnecessary strain, says Randa Alami, NASM-certified personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist. “Low impact exercise is a great way to take care of your body, especially after an injury, because we rarely ever want to stop moving completely,” she says. “The goal is to keep moving without exacerbating pain or tissue damage.” Walking, swimming, bike riding, yoga, stretching and light strength training are great examples of activities you can do without overworking your body. Conversely, you’ll be ditching movements such as jumping, running, burpees, and maxing out your deadlift.
