This low impact compound exercises workout is just under 20 minutes long. All you’ll need is a set of medium weights. It’s total body, with an emphasis on legs, shoulders & biceps. Filming these workouts with Joe working from home has been quite the process these last couple months. And it’s a double whammy when Pickles decides to be a terror. For proof and a little chuckle check out this bloopers video. ๐
Low Impact Compound Exercises Workout (19 Mins)
Equipment link is affiliate.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
- Set of medium-light weights – I’m using 8lbs
In total, there are six exercises in this workout (some compound). We’ll start by doing the first three, back to back. We then repeat them on the other side. Then we move on to the final three exercises, again doing them on the right then left. We finish the workout by putting the whole sequence together, doing exercises 1-6 on the right then left. Rest time after each completed sequence is 30 seconds.
This is the general idea:
- Exercises 1-3 (2 mins), right & left
- Exercises 4-6 (2 mins), right & left
- Put it together: Exercises 1-6 (4 mins), right & left
As with all workouts, you want to make sure youโre properly warmed up before, and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. I have two guided warm ups:
- 5-Min Warm Up
- 7-Min Gentle Warm Up (no jumping)
