No-Jumping HIIT Workout
Low impact doesn't have to mean easy. These twenty-two moves raise your heart rate with tempo, holds and big ranges of movement instead of jumping.

Why it's in this order
Without jumping, the cardio comes from moves that use your whole body: step-back burpees, inchworms and heel taps. They're spread through the standing block so each one follows a strength move.
The sumo pulses come right before the floor so your legs are spent when you're finally allowed to put your hands down.
Floor work goes plank, kickbacks, side, face down and then onto your back. Each change of position is a single roll, not a scramble.
- One trip to the floor: moves 10 to 22 are all floor work.
- No muscle group is worked twice in a row.
- No jumping at all.
- It opens with Standing jacks (low impact), an easier move, and closes with Russian twists.
