Exercise Exercise Lose Weight With Exercise Workouts Exercises By Muscle Group From Paige Waehner, your Guide to Exercise When I was young, I thought low impact exercise was for really old people...like, people in their 30s and 40s.  Now, I'd like to go back and tell myself a thing or three about what 'old' really is and, perhaps, remind myself that, one day, I would be in my 30s and 40s and not quite so cavalier about what 'old people' do for exercise. I would also tell myself that lots of things happen to one's joints over the years and, sometimes, those joints don't enjoy the pounding of high impact workouts.  And then I would tell myself to stop partying so much and to floss more and dump that silly boy I was dating.  Getting a Good Workout with Low Impact Exercise Can you burn calories and get a high intensity workout with low impact exercise? My article takes you through a variety of ideas for making the most out of your low impact workouts.
