Explained in plain English

What are low-impact exercises?

Low-impact exercises are activities that put minimal stress on your joints, making them ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels, especially those with joint issues or recovering from injury. Nordic walking is a prime example, as it avoids the jarring movements associated with high-impact activities like running, while still providing significant health benefits.
