low impact cardio
Easy heart exercise
Low impact cardio is aerobic exercise that keeps at least one foot on the ground, minimizing stress on joints.
Walking, swimming, cycling, and elliptical training qualify; running and jumping do not.
The term distinguishes gentler cardiovascular workouts from high impact alternatives: My doctor recommended low impact cardio after my knee surgery.
