Running, squat jumps, and burpees (or as Jess Sims likes to call them, "barfies") can be hard on the joints. I like to run a couple times a week, as well as do HIIT, so I definitely need to give my ankles and knees a break from time to time. As we all know, cycling is great for those days. Even better? A low impact ride on the Peloton.
Now I know what you're thinking, "What if this wasn't my rest day?" Well, not all low impact rides are created equal. The primary goal is to give your joints a rest while still getting a good workout in. To help you narrow it down for those days, I grabbed 13 of the most difficult low impact rides there are. And trust me, they'll make you sweat.
