High-Intensity Cardio That Isn't Hard on Your Joints

By , Jessica Smith, Certified Personal Trainer
High intensity interval training (aka H.I.I.T.) doesn't always have to be high impact! This workout is perfect for maximizing your cardio time--without pounding your joints. (Oh, and did I mention it’s free of both burpees and squat thrusts? Score!)
 
Join me for this low-impact, high-intensity cardio routine that can be done easily in a small space with zero equipment. (No jumping means it's perfect for hotel rooms and apartments, too!)

Follow along with the video for an efficient nine-minute session, or if you have more time and energy, repeat 2-3 times in total for a longer sweat session.
 
Note: This workout may be low impact, but its still high intensity, which means it is challenging aerobically. Beginners, please listen to your body during the routine and move at your own pace. Challenge yourself but be sure to take care of yourself!
