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!
