Low-impact walking cardio to the beat of the music, followed by light-weight strength work; osteoporosis friendly.
After a quick warm-up come 20 low-impact cardio moves done to the beat, 40 seconds each with 20 seconds of walking in place in between. Two songs of strength exercises with light weights follow, also to the beat but without a timer. The instructor uses 3-pound (about 1.5 kg) weights, and all exercises are osteoporosis friendly. The video runs about 34 minutes.
