No-impact workouts (No jumping! No squats!)

I ended up with a stress fracture in my tibia the other week from running (never up your milage more than 10% a week!), so I’ve had to design a no-impact workout routine. I can’t do most HIIT routines, as they often involve a lot of jumping, squatting, lunging, and all the things my leg can’t do rn. Instead, I have been turning to no-impact pilates, yoga, and floor barre workouts. This is a list of some of the videos I’ve found most helpful! 

No-impact workouts are good for:

Hurt foot/leg 

Are apartment-friendly (quiet, will fit in small spaces)

No equipment needed  

Video recommendations: 

Caroline Jordan: She has a ton of great no-impact workouts, these are my favorites:

Floor barre - 35 min 

Long & lean routine - 25 min

Hurt foot total body routine - 30 min 

Chair cardio - 30 min 

Legs: 

[Sanne Vander] Thigh gap in one week - 10 min

I do each of the seven exercises every day instead of one each day, and double the suggested reps 

[MadFit] No squats/lunges leg workout - 20 min

Arms: 

[Holly Dolke] Quick & intense no-equipment arm workout - 5 min

This always makes my arms burn! Sometimes I do it twice; once at the beginning of a workout and once towards the end 

[April Han] Slim Arms no-equipment - 8 min 

Abs: 

[Sanne Vander] Jungkook workout - 10 min  

Jungkook definitely does more than just this to get those abs jus sayin, but this is a good place to start 

[MadFit] Total core/ab workout - 20 min

Dance: 

[MYLEE] Calorie Blast Dance #9 - 10 min

[MYLEE] Calorie Blsat Dance #12 - 10 min

I love both of these workouts - they’re super easy to follow, fun, and don’t require much leg work 

[Diet Dance | 다이어트댄스] BLACKPINK Kill this love - 3 min

[POPSUGAR] Low impact groove workout - 30 min

[Lazy Dancer Tips] Quick floor barre - 25 min 

Though I try to follow the videos exactly, I sometimes have to alter/skip a movement that hurts my leg. Remember to distinguish between a good hurt and a bad hurt!
