Low-impact exercise
Low-impact exercise involves activities that minimize joint stress by reducing the amount of weight placed on them during movement. These exercises are gentle yet effective, making them suitable for individuals of all fitness levels, especially those with joint issues or recovering from injury. Examples include walking, swimming, cycling, and yoga. They help improve cardiovascular health, strength, and flexibility without heavy pounding or jarring motions. Low-impact exercises provide a safe and sustainable way to stay active, supporting overall health and well-being with less strain on the body.
