10 Minute Beginner Low Impact Cardio Workout For Fat Loss

[Music] hi everybody I'm Amy from body fit by Amy and this is your low impact cardio workout so this workout will get your heart rate up without using any jumping or bouncing exercises all our movements will be low impact easy on the joints this workout is great for beginners whether you're new to it or getting back into it or also great for people who are coming off of an injury or maybe you just want a lighter day of cardio so take your time work to your own level especially if you're a beginner I'll give you options within the exercises to take them up or down a level and if at any point you need a break just stop the video and take a break all right let's do it so we're going to start just by marching just going to roll through those shoulders to the back and take them to the front breathe and then big deep breath in and out one more and just so we're ready we're just going to do a couple rolls through the back so we're just doing a quick little warm up you can always get more on your own if you need to we're just making sure everything is loose and warm even though we won't be doing any high stress exercises one more bring it up and just do small little torso T rotations doesn't have to be big just moving hips and shoulders through the Torso and just little reaches across and over the head and back to your marching okay so we're marching again you can go slow you can go fast it doesn't matter work to your level we're just glad you're moving so if you want we're going to add those arms almost as if you're running we're just getting the arms pumping bringing the knees high if you can and again if you're just this slow totally fine doesn't matter the important thing is that you're moving work to your level so we're here just breathing marching and then let's take it to a little bit of high knees so we're just bringing up so a couple of options if you just want to tap you can't get those knees all the way up totally fine or bring them up and if you can get them just to here or really bring him to the chest what that's going to do is engage more ABS so any of those options work just little tap knees up small or knees up high and if you want you can really get those arms high to low so we're going to be adding arm movements throughout these movements to make sure one that we're working those arms so we're getting full body work and toning but also that adds to the heart rate so if something feels like too much you can always take the arms out and it'll bring that heart rate down good couple more three two and one so let's do a little step touch so just start just the legs and you can go slow or fast doesn't matter and then let's add the arms just little pulls so you can keep it right at your waist or if you want take them high pull those elbows back again work to your own speed make sure you're breathing you need a break or water at any point go ahead and get it and then if this is feeling good let's take the hands up so that's just going to get even more cardio and toning of the arms breathe couple more four three two and one okay so let's just tap those feet out rest the arms for a second hopefully you're feeling your heart pumping I know I am make sure you're breae so just gentle Taps and then reach across reach reach so you're really stretching across getting the arms working but again increasing the cardio just tap tap and then if that feels good take it over your head so reach reach great work guys this is serving as a stretch to that's why we did this Motion in the beginning and you can try to reach out a little further with those arms and legs to get a little flexibility work too or just keep it small up to you for four three two good so let's bring it back Center we're going to step it out so step and in step and in so start here and then if you want add some arms we're going to raise the elbows and down elbows and down so you can keep it nice and slow or you can take it up a little in speed up to you and you can bend those knees a little bit so it's a little bit of a half squat or just keep it Center make sure those knees are soft they're not locked out but don't feel like you have to add the squat but you can it's just a little mini squat that's feeling good with the arms let's take them up we're going to do a little fly elbows in feel that heart rate increasing doing great guys breathe see we don't need to be jumping to get that heart rate up there's so many different ways and we'll go four three two good and relax March it out and then let's take those steps to the back so we're just tapping back tapping back looks like this small little tap you decide how fast or slow you want to go and if we want let's add the arms it's like a little bicep curl so we're squeezing toning those arm muscles but also getting that heart rate up and breathe if you want you can take those bicep press high so towards the ears breathe and step slow or fast so we'll go four and three two and one and let's just keep those Taps back we're going to switch gears we're going to add the back of the arms a little Tony so I'm here my elbows come up and I'm pushing back so it's that tricep Kickback so we're toning the back of the arms so place especially as women we really like to tone up those muscles push so watch me I'm keeping my chest up what I don't want to do is round in that lower back putting pressure there keep it up elbows are up push to the back we'll go four and [Music] three two and one good so March it out and let's just get hands behind the head a little elbow to knees so watch me I'm going here to here now you don't have to touch if you just want to do that little tap like we did in the beginning and if you want to take the arms out just get a little rotation here but if you can think elbow to knee don't worry if you can't actually touch it but if you can that's really going to contract the ABS so we do this move in our standing ab workouts so again any of those options we'll do really small keeping the feet on the ground little higher or touching up to you make sure you're breathing little twist twist again whatever speed you want and whatever range of motion is working best for you four breathe three two and one and we're going to keep that motion we're going to add it hand to foot so if you can tap tap if that feels like too much just again little rotation tap those heels in just turn the heels in but if you can bring them up and if you want even take those hands high for a little more arm work up to you if you want to increase that speed for a little more cardio or keep it nice and slow we're all pretty tight in our hips so I know this is a little bit of an awkward motion that's why we need to do it good for that four three two good so just step out shake that out good work guys so let's go to a little bit of a half squat so hips go to the back so watch me really small back and bring it up you don't have to get very far if you want to hold on to a chair or the back of the couch or even sit down into the chair that works too make sure you're breathing and breathe and let's touch our our top of our legs and reach it up touch reach it up again you decide if you want to keep it really small or if you want to get lower you can even raise up onto those toes down and up small or a little bit bigger just making sure you're breathing four three two and one good tap it out and let's go little hamstring curls so I'm just bringing the heels up in the back nice and easy if you can get them a little higher and if you can bring those elbows back so kind of like our step touch in the beginning and if you want a little extra pull the hands a little higher shoulder level we're so close to being done and breathe if you want even more bring those hands high so heels are still going behind you towards the glutes hands are pulling down heart rate's up on this one you got it guys for four three make sure you're breathing two and one good tap it out so last thing guys little side knee raise so if you want to grab onto a chair or the side of the wall and just do a little small elbow to knee you can keep it just this small if that foot can't come off the ground just do a little side crunch working the ABS but also our cardio and if you want make it a little bit bigger and breathe it's our last exercise and if you don't need that hand on the couch or the wall you can pull both hands over it's up to you really small supported or both hands for four three two good let's do the same thing other side and then we are done so wall or couch if you need it you can keep it small just Contracting the ABS or pull in a little bit more little bit bigger breathe good guys if you want both hands if you don't need that extra support totally fine if you do for four three two and just March it out good work guys you did it not bad right so you should have been feeling your heart rate getting up roll through those shoulders if you need more start the video over do it again it's a quick cardio workout roll those shoulders forward and then just little Taps of the heels in front and as you get stronger and fitter you can go up on those levels on this workout or advance to Cardio Blast or any the other workouts on this channel big deep breath in and out one more time and you did it that was
