Would this be considered high or low impact Aerobics?

Note: The weights I'm using are probably more like 4 or 5 pounds, not 2.

I am not sure about this program but most walking sites do not advocate walking with weights, from Discover Walking -


"Walking with hand weights is a bad idea, walking with ankle weights is an even worse idea. Just because it may be a bad idea to walk with weights does not mean you should not add weight training to your walking program.

We have all seen people swinging weights while they are walking. Most likely they think they are burning more calories, but the fact is they would be better off dropping the weights and walking further or faster or both.

Walking with free weights can increase your blood pressure which is never a good thing. It also increases your risk of injury to tendons, ligaments, muscles and possibly your joints. Since many of us who walk are doing so because it is less stressful on our bodies than running, walking with weights makes no sense. Walking with ankle weights drastically increases your risk of knee injuries."

Have you looked at NordicWalking?

I know this is an old post but I started using this program and I like it so far. Im not sure but they say its brisk walking so maybe its medium impact? Cant say for sure.
