20 Minute LOW IMPACT Weight Loss Cardio Workout for Women over 50

Level TWO | ALL standing, NO jumping, NO equipment, NO squats or lunges | BURN 125 – 150 calories

Looking for a perfect WEIGHT LOSS workout that’s designed especially for women over 50? You’ve found it! We’ve got a terrific LOW IMPACT and beautifully moderate CARDIO routine that’s just right for YOU.

Exercising moderately might not sound like “enough” work for weight loss, but here’s the crazy thing about perimenopause, menopause and beyond: our bodies are different now! Low levels of estrogen means we have a reduced capacity to recover from tough workouts.

And lack of recovery equals storage of fat! (Yes, I know that sounds counterintuitive, but that’s the way Mother Nature works at “a certain age.”)

So if you’re looking to lose weight in midlife or later, it’s time to take your workouts down a notch and ENJOY the moderation!

This 20 minute low impact cardio workout needs no jumping or equipment, has no transitions to the ground, no squats and no lunges, and includes both a warm up and a cool down.
