> High Impact Exercise
I think you're using the wrong words there. "High Impact" workouts in the fitness world mean they are harder on your joints and tendons (think crossfit/hiit vs low impact like spin cycles).
Since you aren't punching anything and you're not jerking your body around, I'd imagine this is more mid-impact?

- m_tweedie 6y agoHi, Martin from Quell here. Thanks for the insight! In truth we hadn't considered the full connotations of "High Impact" so will adjust the positioning accordingly. Would definitely be a shame to put off people for this reason. One of the benefits of our wearable is that it acts to prevent the hyper-extension of the arms that can cause injury or soreness when throwing straight shots while shadow boxing, so definitely keen to make sure we explain this properly!
- mritchie712 6y agoThey're looking for "High Intensity" (the HI in HIIT)
- lorespreafico 6y agoThat's true, thanks for the input! :)
