Similar to low- to moderate-intensity cardio, you could do yoga without having to overexert yourself.
To get started, wake up fresh with anenergizing morning routineor incorporate somebeginner posesinto your day.
So why not just choose LISS as your fat-burning method of choice all the time?
In essence, a short, sharp HIIT session is more time-efficient than a longer LISS one.
Try shooting for two to four strength sessions per week, alternating days between upper body andlower body.

You may eventually work your way up to daily sessions and, who knows?
maybe even try out a class atSLT.

Swimming is a great full-body workout.
For best results, aim for swimming four to five days a week.
And on your active recovery day (i.e.
when you’re not swimming), embrace your inner senior snowbird and take up a water aerobics class.
But what if exercising were fun?
Sessions typically range from 45- to 60-minutes with many studios now offeringvirtual Zumba classes.
Regardless of whether you have natural rhythm or two left feet, consider giving Zumba a try.
It just mightchange your outlook on working out.
But if not, at least it will improve your dance moves.
Ensure you have one rest day too.
