Get moving
If you’re new to the world of fitness, trying to go easy on your joints, or have just found yourself in an energy slump, you don’t need to rule out exercise all together. Enter: low-intensity steady state (LISS) exercise. LISS is the opposite to the popular high-intensity interval training (HIIT) craze, as it focuses on more relaxed exercise methods that don’t involve such strenuous activity, but will still get your heart rate up. Instead of performing short and intense spouts of cardio, LISS-style workouts occur at a slower pace, asking you to maintain a smooth and steady momentum. This style of workout is often a better option for those just beginning their fitness journey, the older generation, or those who are more prone to injuries, as the impact on your body is lesser.
