High Impact and Low Impact Training

In aerobic exercises there are two types that you should be conscious of.
Low impact and High impact.
Low impact has at least one foot on the ground while High impact at times has no feet on the ground. High impact also includes impacting something such as a punching bag while performing kick boxing.
Low impact is recommended for people who have joint problems. High impact is a great way to strengthen bones, tendons (muscle to bone connection) and ligaments (bone to bone connection) but is rough on the body.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Read up on how to get your target heart rate (See earlier blog). To burn fat, do not exceed that for too long or go under that. If you exceed or do not hit that target heart rate your body will use carbohydrates and proteins rather than the fat.
