I've been having some issues with my right knee--mainly due to the step classes that I teach. Since I'm off the next 2 days for the July 4th holiday, I thought I'd do a lower impact workout. I found this 30 minute workout on Jessicasmithtv.
The 50's are a sandwich generation of fitness; we don't want to work out like we did 15, 10 or even 5 years ago, yet we aren't ready for the "senior" classes either. I'm revamping this blog to be a blend of health and fitness tips that I hope all of you "fiftysomethings" will find helpful. ***I am not a doctor or nutritionist.

Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- Power Walk 2
Today I'm sharing a low impact power walk workout from The Biggest Loser. There are 4 different walks on the DVD. this is Walk #2.
Light dumbbells (2-3 lbs.) are used to bring in some arm exercises to make it a total body workout. By the end of the 15 minutes, you will have walked approximately 1 mile. A warm up and cool down with stretch is included.

Thursday's Total Body/Cardio-- Chair Cardio and Strength Workout + Chair Stretch
Today's workout comes from jessicasmithtv. It is a two part workout that is done entirely on a chair. This is great program for beginners and those of you with joint issues or injuries--especially knees. For a bit more core challenge, this workout could also be done on a stability ball.
You will need a sturdy chair or a stability ball for more challenge, a towel and a set of dumbbells.
You will see that you don't have to be standing to get a great cardio and strength workout.
