Lower Body, Low Impact Workout: Quiet! No Jumping-15 Minutes Per Round


Hi Everyone!

Today's workout is all about the Lower Body! It is a low impact routine (no jumping), but it is still challenging. You will work your lower half from every angle. 

All you need for this workout is a chair and some dumbbells (optional). Adding weight to your workout will increase the challenge/intensity. If you don't have dumbbells get creative and find something around your house! A gallon of water weighs about 8 lbs, and the fluidity and balance of the handle will add an additional challenge. 

I hope you all enjoy today's workout!


I have some other great workouts already planned for this week, so keep checking back! On Facebook I am asking for any questions you have. Jesse and I will be filming a Q & A video. You can let me know your questions here: www.facebook.com/MelissaBenderFitness

  2. This is exactly what I needed. I have an injury preventing me from lifting, running, and jumping, so this was perfect!
