High-impact workouts are intense exercises that involve high-intensity movements with some light (or heavy) impact, challenging your body while improving athletic performance and overall fitness levels. High-impact exercise may not be suitable for everyone, as it requires your body to handle the stress of your feet hitting the ground. If high-impact exercises are uncomfortable for you, you might want to explore low-impact alternatives.

High-impact exercises are particularly beneficial for improving cardiovascular fitness, bone mineral density, muscular strength, endurance, reaction time, and athletic performance.
