We’re calling it: Lagree Fitness is a unicorn! The ultimate combo of high intensity and low impact, this rare mix gives you all the benefits of a challenging workout without the wear and tear on the body. Let’s break down why Lagree is such a game-changer.
High Intensity = Big Payoff
High intensity workouts are famous for getting your heart rate up and delivering fast results. Think sprints, HIIT, or boxing – anything that pushes your heart rate to 70-85% of your max (around 129-157 beats per minute for a 35 year old). It’s a super efficient way to boost cardio fitness, build muscle, and burn calories. The downside? The impact can be hard on your joints, especially over time.
That’s where Lagree is different. You still get that heart-pounding, muscle-shaking intensity, but without the repetitive impact. How?
The Magic 8:
- Form – perfect form guarantees effectiveness
- Range of Motion – greater range, greater intensity
- Tempo – slow, controlled movements reduce momentum and maximise muscle engagement
- Duration – staying in moves longer means muscles stay engaged longer
- Sequencing – working each muscle group in turn to reach effective muscle stimulation (EMS) faster
- Transition – keeping time between moves to a minimum
- Resistance – choosing a challenging resistance that still allows you to maintain good form
- Planes of Motion – working in all 3 planes (front/back, side/side, twisting) prevents repetitive stress
Why Low-Impact Matters
Low-impact training is on the rise. Around a third of people are actively looking for workouts that are easier on their joints.
The benefits of low impact training:
- Reduces likelihood of injury
- Reduces inflammation
- Increases muscular endurance
- Suitable for a wider range of bodies and fitness levels
- Often more suitable to accommodate modifications for recurrent injuries or restrictions
The Best of Both Worlds
Lagree Fitness bridges the gap between high-intensity sweat sessions and low-impact joint-friendly movement. You’ll be shaking, sweating and burning, and feeling a little sore the next day – without the worry about damaging your joints or spine. It’s a win-win. You get a heart-pumping, muscle-building workout that pushes you to your limits in a way that’s safe and sustainable for the long haul.
If you’re after a workout that works as hard as you do without the risk of overdoing it, Lagree is for you. Your joints will thank you, and your results will speak for themselves!
