Knee friendly full body workout roundup It's Simply Lindsay

05/1/16

Since having my baby, my body completely changed. While I used to thrive off of high intensity workouts, my joints can no longer handle that kind of impact, so I was left to search Pinterest and Youtube for exercises:

I could do at home
Were rigorous
Were easy on my knees
I could complete in less than an hour
That I could still feel the burn

I am rounding up my favorite exercises that meet my criterion in addition to being enjoyable – these are all workouts I actually look forward to doing, and I know you will, too.

Since these workouts are generally short, you can do them every day, and you can mix and match them, depending on what you want to focus on. I think arms and abs are a great addition to every workout, and I do these daily. Be sure to pin this for easy access, and have a friend join in, too. By having accountability to someone, you’ll be more likely to follow through with your workouts.

Lower Body

The Best Lower Body Workout for Bad Knees: Jessica Smith can do no wrong in my book. She has every kind of at-home workout you can dream of, from the under the weather routine and Latin spice dance walk to flexibility training and cardio ballet. Jessica’s workouts are approachable yet rigorous, and she always shows modifications.
