Program Overview

Low Impact Strength includes three 30-45 minute workouts each week. These include:

Lower Body & Core
Full Body
Upper Body & Core

Each workout focuses on foundational strength exercises without any jumping to support your joints to be able to handle load and impact. The workouts incorporate supersets and circuits, as well as sections that focus on muscular endurance, strength and core.

There are also weekly LISS (low-intensity steady state) cardio sessions that Chontel recommends completing on alternate days to your resistance sessions, plus an optional cardio HIIT session.

To promote muscle recovery between workouts, there are two weekly mobility and stretching sessions (for upper and lower body), and full rest days.

Equipment

What you’ll need

You can complete Chontel’s Low Impact Strength workouts at home using a few key pieces of equipment. If you need equipment or exercise alternatives, you can use the substitution features in the Sweat app or you can substitute the dumbbells for household items of similar weight, like bottles of water.
