A 35-minute standing walking workout to the beat that is osteoporosis friendly, with optional high-impact bursts for bones.

This all-standing, music-led session repeats a simple pattern: 30 seconds of walking in place, 30 seconds of a low-impact cardio move, then an optional 15-second high-impact version. Each exercise is done twice in sets of two, and you can stay on low impact if that suits you better. It runs about 35 minutes, and a 10-minute strength video is suggested afterwards.

Who Is It For?

Older adults and anyone concerned about bone health who want a standing, osteoporosis-friendly cardio session.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal if you need a very short session or want strength training: this is walking-based cardio with optional impact.

Key Benefits

Supports bone health with weight-bearing walking and cardio moves, with optional high-impact bursts to level up.

Things to Keep in Mind

Check with your doctor or physio before the high-impact options if you have osteoporosis, and stay with low impact whenever it feels better.
