Low-Impact Cardio Workout

[@paulinemancini5518]

Anna please more 20 minute low impact workouts...so much better than jumping and 20 minutes is enough..i will pair it up with another one of your wonderful workouts or active stretching. Thanks for always making me feel happy because of your upbeat personality.

[@porchpandemicmusings258]

A good idea is to pair it with a ten min ab workout and a stretch at the end. Always stretch warm muscles,not cold. I'm a trainer who personally works out to modifications low impact.

[@TheRealBizWiz]

Today I am starting my weight loss journey. I weigh over 300lbs. This was my first workout.

[@TheRealBizWiz]

Day 2 - done

[@Zimuahaha]

@@TheRealBizWiz how is it going?

[@Butterfly-tw1ej]

sooo how did it go its been 2 years now :p

[@TheRealBizWiz]

I’ve struggled with weight all of my life. After long and thoughtful consideration including type 2 diabetes I recently underwent gastric bypass surgery. It has worked for me and I am in the early post op stages but I feel great about my choice. Thank you all! ❤️😊

[@Butterfly-tw1ej]

BizWiz OH THATS GREAT!!! :) happy to see that you are doing good! Keep going!

[@sarahlynnisfunny]

I have struggled with obsessive exercise for years and finally am discovering the benefits of shorter workouts! Thank you so much for the inspiration!

[@porchpandemicmusings258]

Less is more! I've learned that too.

[@justwalkinit]

OMG!!!! I usually do a 20 minute HIIT workout on the treadmill or a 30 minute run. I wanted an easy workout tonight but I got the surprise of my day. Although this workout is low impact, it’s still challenging. When I finished I was soaked and I did the modifications 😳. I love that there are light stretches at the end. This one is a keeper!

[@annetyou]

Did the whole thing without stopping! Sweating like crazy! Feels so good!

[@jessiewalthers7645]

Had surgery 4 weeks ago,started walking 2 weeks ago and today is raining. Needed to do something glad I found this ! Anna is the best!

[@misstvnyc2274]

Please create more workouts like this. It's literally perfect - low-impact, high-intensity....and time efficient. I do HIIT workouts and I'm amazed how much this still gets my heart rate up and makes me feel like I got in a great cardio workout without jumping.

[@mariacongenie4074]

I've recently become injured in both feet (stress fracture & neuroma) and LOVE popsugar low impact workouts ! MORE PLEASE I really don't want to lose my fitness level because of injuries!!

[@andreala80]

So glad I found this gem! Love her!! Thank you for caring and sharing!

[@abhishektodmal1914]

Never has exercise failed to lift me up. Not one time. Thank you! I always love your workouts. They're challenging, motivating, inspiring and fun! Wish you all happiness, health and joy always! Have a beautiful day wherever you are! Whatever you're upto!

[@sdgirlbebe]

I agree. We ask for more 20 - 25 min workouts. Low-Impact is great!

[@juliamartens3150]

Anna I absolutely love your low impact 20 minute cardio workouts! Your energy is infectious and I stay motivated meaning I work harder, sweat more and get fitter and stronger with these workouts than if I went for a run. As a mum of a four year old, five year old and seven year old I don't get to the gym but your 20 minute workouts are perfect for at home and I'm feeling fitter and stronger! Thankyou!

[@CKMcCloud]

Loved it: enough repetition for my body to "get it", and challenging enough to know I'm gaining strength. You know it's good when you can see Anna sweat!

[@ozziehelms7403]

Had a baby 2 months ago. This was a perfect workout to help my recovery. Will definitely rewatch! Thank you❤

[@kortneypridy2916]

25 weeks pregnant and I loved this workout! I could handle the low impact and was still able to get my heart rate up. Thank you!

[@monicaleon7605]

Love this ! More low impact workouts ,please!!

[@oh5056]

Monica Leon Agree !!! Yessss

[@carmelkennedymahon2567]

Monica Leon

[@yriekeiry]

Yes!

[@sistersarahc]

Time flew by. Nice personality. A little bit of repetition is good. Good sweat. I’m doing strength training with dumbbells this evening so no need to go extremely intense, fierce or whatever some other instructors say. 20 minutes of this and some cardio within strength training this evening. Perfect. I will save this one. Thanks!

[@erieliver8887]

I appreciate the low impact demo girl at the same time - and she looks like she's having a good workout. I'm in good shape but at 60, my knees can't take that bouncing after years of sports. I can do the low impact and not get depressed that I don't look like the other 2 :) Thanks!

[@jenduz]

In just the week since this has posted I have watched 4 times. I get super sweaty and feel like I have really put in effort. Sounds silly but less jumping probably makes my downstairs neighbor happy too!

[@laurawagner4]

I’ve added this sweet, sweaty short workout to my rotation and love how it gets the job done. Perfect for before or after work plus find myself smiling along with your fun, encouraging banter!

[@laurafurcron9054]

I always enjoy Anna and Popsugar workouts; I love that there is such a variety and that different workout lengths are available--makes it easy to fit a workout in regardless of my schedule. I do wish these videos were a little more literal in their timing cues. When the instructor says "a couple" I always take it literally. Personally, time cues are very important to me--if I'm dying and feel like I can't go much longer, knowing that there are only a "couple" left motivates me to finish but that doesn't work when 2 typically turns into 10.

[@jackiekung2588]

Anna is awesome! I love all the video she presented and always include other celebrity trainers to launch different types of training. She inspires me to workout everyday! Love u Anna!

[@AnnaRenderer]

Thank you! I'm glad you're staying inspired!

[@mangosmoothiedesigns1235]

Love that i get a little break while you’re explaining and then have the circuits repeat so I can focus on the moves instead of learning them.

[@CamdenSmithNaples]

I have to admit sometimes not a fan of the workouts on this channel because sometimes they are easy. After spraining my ankle running, I have been forced to do low impact for a few weeks, which is a challenge for me being used to hi impact. This low impact had sweat rolling. Amazing workout.

[@ChasingQueenie]

This is amazing especially when I want to workout, but my joints are aching from high intensity stuff. Please keep producing low impact workouts! They are so great, esp for people like me who have put on more lbs and having a hard time getting back into shape. Xx

[@programminggod4716]

Anna the real legend in fitness....Thank You so much.....

[@hannahalexander-wright7000]

Just did this workout in a hotel room in Thailand... low impact workouts are so good for business trips!

[@terrariffe9448]

This was a terrific workout! I have found as I age, low impact cardio is so much kinder to my joints and still affords me the benefits of a challenging workout. Please do more 20 minute low impact routines!

[@rebekahmeans3755]

This is the BEST low impact workout I’ve ever done! Definitely saving this one. ☝️👊💪

[@DeviAudrey]

This was my first workout after a neck/trap injury. Was looking for something to get my heart rate up but still gentle on my joints. This met all my needs in this moment. So great! Thank you!!

[@reedanddarlenesatterthwait2844]

Love these short but effective workouts! I have an injured rotator cuff and I can do this work out with only couple modifications. Thanks, Anna, I have enjoyed working out with you and pop sugar for years.

[@charliejose7134]

Thank you very much Ms. PopSugar. I'm gonna be in my mid-40s very soon. I do much office work and not enough workout. Your videos and your team really helps a lot.

[@omgitsmanda]

This is PERFECT for chemo patients, I am forever grateful

[@akelley.73]

Thanks for the high energy, low impact work out. My 50+ year old knee and ankle joints can't handle the jumping but I need a high energy aerobic routine. Good job on this one!

[@ManUntdForever]

THIS. WAS. AWESOME. I really appreciate low-impact cardio workouts. More of these types of workouts would be great!

[@JolieDahlstrom]

Thank you so much for a cardio workout that I don't have to compromise because of my joints. Most videos have modifications for low impact that force me to pull back on the workout, but this one got me good and sweaty without making me choose between joint pain and the easier modifications. Love it!

[@Kayla121ification]

This one was great! Just finished and for sure made me work! I was in great shape in the summer but regrettably have taken a few months off from excersising. This was perfect to get my butt back into gear without going overboard! Thanks so much & love your positive energy!

[@jackiealvarez5248]

Man! Such a good workout for my achy joints . Thanks so much for sharing these workouts with us ! I love working out with Ana, she has the best workouts for me and I love how fit she looks!!

[@Snoopyslays]

Low-impact is where it's at! Absolutely love this workout. My ankle injuries thank you Anna!

[@katenicholson901]

Loved this! My hips have been bugging me from running lately, and this was just what I needed to balance that out with low-impact work, and move my legs in other ways.

[@dantongdoudou]

I thought this would be a good recovery workout after my hiit yesterday. But it is just deceptively easy...I was drenched in 20 minute with no jump at all. I love it--such a good way to raise up heart rates without impact!

[@tiffanybowers3294]

I quickly found that this low impact routine was not a No sweating routine... l loved every out of breath minute of it!!!

[@AnnaRenderer]

haha!

[@alpha1beta1gamma]

Tiffany Bowers You're doing it wrong then...

[@aprilhernandez7955]

i did this one last night and let me tell you i have never sweat that much in my life i was drenched, i did not think i would sweat like that with this low impact cardio...........with that being said i think if you are reading this to get an opinion you should totally do it you won't regret it.

[@areebasbops]

Thanks Anna and Popsugar! I'm recovering from a ligament tear, and this was a great way for me to try to get back into exercising while definitely modifying for my injury!

[@jocall3781]

Awesome!! I love your workouts! As a former collegiate athlete, my knees and ankles are very very veeerrryyyy banged up from all the years of playing. Your workouts are just what I need. I can stay fit without the pain. Thank youuu!

[@joyrobin947]

Perfect I am having a tough time getting up lately and needed a quick but efficient workout. This met the criteria. I am sweating thank you.

[@karissajones1744]

I've been doing a lot of hiit cardio and I have a twinge in my knee after my last workout. This was a perfect substitute to give my knees a break from all the jumping. I did it twice, once in the morning and once in the evening and I felt like it did the trick for sure!

[@养猫的m]

If you are doing this first time and your didn’t cool down properly, it will hurt really bad for couple days That being said, don’t let this stop you ! I keep coming back to this workout and it never disappoint me

[@kaitlincoyle3050]

Anna thank you so so so much for these workout videos! I'm so happy I discovered these because you keep me motivated and feeling good about myself! Everyday I look forward to getting a workout in with you I love it!

[@lizzyandjoe]

Nice workout! I keep hoping you'll start doing more videos in this format, with 3 of you. I find them more fun than the one-person ones that I find on the PopSugar channel these days.

[@lilyraimey3499]

Never thought I’d say this about a workout, but this was really nice. I’m actually sweating, and smiling about it.💜

[@CaitlinAdams1971]

That was harder than I expected, in a good way! Added it on to a 30 minute upper body and core strength workout...wow...that was a powerful combo!

[@caraj8949]

This was great!!!!!. I agree with Monica Leon. more low ("high") impact workouts. I am sweating and feeling good. This is great to do after a long day at the office. It can be done in the evening (this is what I did), without any excuses. In my favorites.

[@butterfliesindecember2168]

Im in love with pop sugar...I'm addicted. Thank you so much for a fun, rewarding workout!

[@trallivalli9055]

My favorite low-impact cardio workout!

[@KerryAnnDaley]

Loved this workout! I like seeing ANNA in a leader role! Suits it much better, she's so cute

[@theslimechild]

Thanks so much for the great workout! I love all the Popsugar workouts! Love the cheerfulness you all bring!

[@miss.kate.toronto]

Good form is really important to me, so I really appreciated the pace of this one!

[@sarasarasasara]

haven't done any workout for a while and this is a tender wake-up call for me to put me back to the right track. :) Thank you so much, Anna. XOXO

[@AnnaRenderer]

Welcome back!

[@laurawagner4]

Like Anna advised, do this quick workout often! I’ve found it easy to do before or after work, really anytime I’ve need a quick challenge. It will get ya sweaty in 20!

[@1024specialkay]

Coming back from a back injury! I'm so excited to do this!

[@hiedeadmiraal6572]

Anna’s the BEST! 💪

[@jona457]

Thank you for this. Low impact is nice once in awhile. Then followed by other PopsugarFitness mini workouts

[@letsgetreckless]

thank you for this! I'm sick and I don't want to put my body through a lot so this will be great!

[@sharmilarao2419]

How are you doing now

[@annafructose]

Hi Anna and popsugar! I love your workouts and have been doing them religiously for a year - they keep me sane, happy, and feeling healthy and strong! Would you consider doing a workout that made limited use of the wrists? I feel sometimes that I need to take a day or two off of plank/burpee moves and sometimes moving to the elbows just doesn't cut it for certain exercises. Looking for a 30 minute workout that doesn't use the wrists is very challenging! Are you up to it? Thank you!

[@AnnaRenderer]

Always modify a move if it's too hard on your joints!

[@5hineepropertyofleetaemin]

Absolutely agree, my wrists just can't take it anymore for anything extended. Couple moves max!

[@magpiedoesburpees]

I've been struggling similarly due to a minor tear in my deltoid - finding videos that don't rely on planks/push-ups/etc... is damn near impossible. Often, I modify by either just doing a completely different exercise during the time interval or by trying to do a similar move while lying on my back. For example: instead of doing the push-up to a pike move, I would lay on my back, legs bent, push up into the air (add weights if you're not suffering from a deltoid tear :-) ), and then do a leg lift or crunch or similar. Similarly, instead of the burpees, I would lay on my back and do bird-dogs in the air (arms, legs straight up - reach out opposite leg and arm). Instead of side-planks, I do the ones where you lay on your side and bring your legs/knees toward your chest (kind of like the ones on the popsugar video with Christa DiPaolo/the Cut). If it's a wrist issue, sometimes I've found that having a free weight on the ground that I can grab (instead of hands flat on the ground) sometimes helps. Hope that helps! You may also want to consider checking your form when you use your wrists, which may lead to more pain than "necessary" - or look into exercises that strengthen your wrists. Since they're a joint, though, there's only so much you can do to try to change their strength - and be super careful and listen to your body! Joints are important and hard to heal!

[@dionnerenee3436]

Great workout! Thanks for the low impact too! I had a hard time doing the burpees so I did planks and pushups instead. But this workout was fun and I was sweating like crazy. Thanks again!

[@dimuthul]

Thank you very much. This is very helpful because with this I can get a really good exercise without the aches and pains ...

[@carlyreid9502]

I loved this workout! I'm dealing with a hip injury and this was the perfect workout for getting my heart rate up while doing exercises that help to strengthen my core and muscles that support my hip. The stretches at the end were perfect. Thank you Anna!

[@HarshitSharma-nr4zn]

Awesome! Already feel the fat burning! Muscles and nerves feel so calmed and stronger. Thanq

[@jesstudela6101]

Just what I needed after some minor hip pain that is keeping me from running. This was great! Thanks!

[@winkelsj]

Don’t be fooled: low impact doesn’t equal no impact!! This workout kicked my butt! ❤️

[@euEcLines]

😂 sure

[@fungcgeung2688]

I really enjoyed this work! Love Anna! such good vibes for motivation to the end

[@kavya0102]

Just finished the workout. Short enough to squeeze in between my errands. But it sure packs a punch! Sitting in a puddle of sweat here :) Nice work popsugar! Will come back to this during my off days ;)

[@quickshower]

This was great! I’m recovering from a slipped disc in my lower back and this was extremely kind for my back, yet I haven’t sweated like this in ages! Thanks for sharing 😘

[@cherylwalker6]

Just love your enthusiasm and energy!! You are my new go trainer!!!

[@whitneyrobertson6620]

This one was great! My heart was pumping hard even though it was low-impact. I'll be coming back to this one.

[@shilpagoyal39]

Really nice....feeling it...lots of love from India...

[@mariefranceletarte1823]

Loved it. Wish we could have more low impact cardio

[@littleswan1446]

Done 💘 you guys could do a workout for people with knee problems I would be so grateful i always have to do something else than squats cause my knees won't let me atm

[@AnnaRenderer]

I'm so glad you modify when it's necessary!

[@MT-hk9cp]

This is a great workout when you start back on your exercise routine after a few weeks off!

[@jimandsuebaxter8667]

Very nice - a good change of pace, and I still felt like I worked out. Sweating! Thank you!!
