10 Minute Low Impact HIIT Workout is a great little add cardio workout from Lindsey @ NourisMoveLove and her friend Rachel. I used it as a warm up this morning and it worked great for that. It would be a great add on/finisher burst of low impact cardio, too. It’s not super intense but it was a lot of fun!
This workout is done interval style: 40 seconds of work followed by 20 seconds of rest. There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen counting down the 10 minute workout time. Rachel shows easier versions of some of the exercises. Though it is supposed to be low impact, the last two moves have impact. But Rachel does low impact versions of both moves.
