What to do if you can't lunge, burpee, mountain climber and more. How to sub 6 common exercises, that are found on most YouTube workouts so you get a workout that gets you fit, without aggravating your knees, low back, shoulders or wrists any further.
I get it! After 40 not everything works 100% - 100% of the time!
Whether it's some random knee pain, or maybe your low back is feeling tight, or your physiotherapist has told you to lay off planks so your sore shoulder can heal.
We need options when we workout, and options that will still get us fit... cause what's the point of doing a workout if it is not going to help you achieve your goals??!!
In this Fit Tip video, I review 6 common exercises (that are in a lot of YouTube workouts) that can be aggravating for anyone with knee, low back, shoulder or wrist pain, or for a beginner... AND 6 exercise subs and workarounds so you can continue improving your fitness, without sending you to physio.
Share below if you found this helpful! I would love to hear from you.
NOTE: These exercises are not meant to replace any that your doctor, physical therapist or physio has prescribed.
