Low-Impact Fitness Still Brings the Heat
Don’t let the name fool you! ‘Low-impact’ doesn’t mean easier, and in our fitness classes, it doesn’t mean low intensity. You can get all the benefits of a great workout without running, jumping, or impacting your joints. But the benefits of a low-impact workout don’t stop at just protecting your joints! Here are some other ways low-impact workouts are great for you:
Increased Flexibility & Stability = Less Injury
There are many different low-impact exercises that help to increase your flexibility and stability. Flexibility reduces your risk of injury—when your muscles are flexible, they don’t pull, strain, or tear as easily. Stability also helps reduce your risk of injury. Working to improve your control and stability of your movements prevents acute injuries and overuse injuries. Yoga and Pilates, both typically low-impact practices, are great at improving these qualities. Check out our Yoga and Pilates classes to maximize your flexibility and stability workouts!
Greater Muscular Endurance & Range of Motion = More Gains
Low-impact workouts can actually be better for increasing muscular endurance than some high-impact workouts! Imagine doing a plyometric squat jump versus a weighted squat. With a jump squat, how often are you using your momentum from the jump to help you get lower on your squat? When you’re doing a weighted squat, you’re using more of your muscular power rather than momentum. You’re also more likely to use your full range of motion, which means you’re activating the entire length of the muscle. More muscular power and range of motion mean more gains!
Less Recovery Time = More Gym Time
High-impact or plyometric exercises can often require more rest time for your muscles to adequately recover. Low-impact exercises don’t require as many rest days, which means that you can come to take more classes while still reaping the benefits of greater muscular endurance!
Of course, soreness can still be expected afterward. Our Spa can help to really speed your recovery process along!
Form-focused = Great for Beginners
Low-impact workouts often provide the chance to focus more on form and alignment than high-impact classes sometimes do. When you focus on your form and use your entire range of motion, it increases your proprioception, or your awareness of your body. Focusing on form is especially beneficial for people who are new to working out or to taking classes, or getting back into a workout routine after a hiatus (we’re still finding our stride after COVID too!).
