Hi Everyone!
Welcome to the workout of the day! Today’s routine is a Low Impact, but very effective, Total Body Workout. You don’t need any equipment, and one round of this workout will take 20-Minutes. You can always repeat the workout to make it more intense, or add a weighted vest or weights for resistance.
As always, the workout, photo tutorial and video breakdown are below.
During this workout, try to get in max reps, without sacrificing form. It’s better to get in less reps with great form, than more with poor form. Of course, if you aren’t quite ready for a specific exercise, you can modify the movement.
Gambit has been very happy that we are filming new BenderFitness workouts again. As you can see, he loves to take hog the mat during my workouts. If I don’t have a toddler climbing on me, Gambit is happy to take over. 😂
This Week, focus on staying well hydrated throughout the day. Your entire body functions better when you are hydrated.

Thank you for the new workout!!! It was a great one! And i love your new StitchFix Outfits!!! Super cute 🙂
Oh goodness that workout was AWESOME! I used weights for a few exercises but did have to put them down halfway through because my form was failing. Not going to lie the Low Impact sometimes make me think I won’t get that great of a workt out – that is a total lie! I was sweating and felt the burn that’s for sure! Yes please share other things with us, fashion, beauty, recipes I enjoy all those things! Super cute outfits btw!
Thank you again, can not wait to try this exercise, I have a question since I had shoulder surgery. I am not able to place weight or use my shoulder are there alternatives to plank for core exercise?
Excellent workout. I especially like the tip-toe squat. It showed me how I could get back into lunges, which give me a hard time with my knee tracking problem.
Thank you very much! This was the perfect workout for me today. Not too crazy intense, but great workout! I’ve been feeling on the lazy side and have been down with cold/flu so great to be active again. Going to give it a 2nd round. I love the low impact workouts as my feet can’t take the impact. I usually modify some moves from most videos. Thanks again 🙂
just wanted to let you know in case you’re not aware, there was something going on with the audio in this video on youtube. i’ve noticed it before in a couple of other videos as well. no big deal, but if you’re not actually watching while doing the workout you might miss the timer dinging!! 🙂
Great workout! I admit that I also think low impact will be easier, but it’s not! I repeated the workout and my cat didn’t move positions even once.
Loved the workout. The side plank and down dog reach had to be modified since I’m almost in my third trimester but otherwise your workouts are a great challenge and work the body in a good way! I think you should put together some DVD series . You guys are awesome.
Glad for these workouts since I injured my heel in an accident and don’t want to be jumping around on it!

I thought because it was low impact I wouldn’t be sweating… not true thank you for a great work out!
Thank you thank you! I’m DWS (dripping with sweat!) I’m enjoying these as I feel I’m targeting specific areas and really appreciate the change as I have tendinitis in heel! This is fantastic again, thanks!
Great quiet workout. I love that your works are challenging (so sweaty) and I appreciate how they are accurate to the title description. Thanks m
You’re very welcome!
Loved the workout! I love how you provide exactly what people need–I need a low impact but hard core workout- that’s what I can get. I need a yoga session- I can find that too. I’ve had your website saved in my favorite tabs for over a year now:) So I just wanted you to know how beneficial your website is for people and to keep it up!! Thank you so much!! 🙂
Thank you for offering low impact workouts Melissa! I recently was in a bike crash and am in the recovery process.. These are a great alternative to the high intensity workouts I am normally able to do.
i appreciate it so much!
