As Featured in Marie Claire: How Low-Impact Exercise Can Help You Reclaim your Fitness Journey
I’m so thrilled to share that FI:KA has been featured in Marie Claire’s guide to low-impact workouts, highlighting the transformative power of lower impact movement. You all know I am a massive advocate for all types of movement and that the one you enjoy is most likely to be the one that sticks. So this couldn’t be a better spotlight on a topic that I’m super passionate about.
In the article, Marie Claire highlights how low-impact workouts—like Pilates, walking, and resistance band training—can build strength, support mental well-being, and reduce the risk of injury. These forms of movement are especially helpful for those returning to fitness after a break, recovering from injury, or simply looking for a more sustainable and joint-friendly approach to exercise.
But don’t mistake low-impact for easy or only for beginners. A well-designed low-impact session can be every bit as challenging as a high-intensity workout—it just shifts the focus. In a world where our social feeds are filled with high-impact runs and Hyrox training plans, starting (or restarting) a fitness journey can feel overwhelming or like it’s not meant for you. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Low-impact workouts are not only a brilliant way to begin; they’re also a valuable and often overlooked part of a well-rounded, long-term fitness routine.
The Benefits of Low-Impact Exercise
Low-impact workouts are designed to be gentle on the joints while still providing substantial health benefits. These exercises can:
Enhance muscle tone and strength
Improve cardiovascular health
Boost mood and mental clarity
Support joint and bone health
These benefits make low-impact workouts an excellent choice for individuals at any fitness level, especially those easing back into a routine.
