Handstands/hand balancing? It’s basically body weight training with an artistic focus and no weight on your feet!

Aerial yoga? That always looks so cool to me, I would like to try it.

I don’t have recs but there are definitely classes online and in person in this area, I’ve had lots of friends do it.

I do step classes online. It can be low impact - not sure if that is too much like dancing.

I Love strength training. It’s especially important to stay strong as we age.

What about Barre? Lots of low impact strength moves. I do the barre classes on peloton and they are leg and core intensive. It’s a good workout.

I strongly suspect that will irritate the knees and especially hips in similar ways to the bike, but moreso. (I'm old. A lot hurts.)

I will have access to a pool when it gets warm enough out, so yes, but I'd also like to do something weight-bearing on land.

Because of really bad foot arthritis, I pretty much can't dance anymore, and dance used to be the only exercise I really enjoyed.
I have an exercise bike, but some days it makes my knees or hips worse. I already do gyrotonic and a lot of PT and various mat-based things and don't need more of that. I'll swim when it gets warmer. I've done T'ai Chi but honestly became a little bored. I can only go on fairly short walks.
But I'd really like to find something that captures some of the experience of a dance class with no jumping, that's weight-bearing so I can keep my leg strength and balance skills up but requires little-to-no foot articulation. I'd be happy taking something on Zoom, where there are real people on the other end to interact with, vs. just following a video alone.
Any ideas?
