Swimming

 

Swimming is an excellent low-impact cardiovascular exercise that minimizes stress on the feet. To perform swimming effectively, choose a comfortable stroke such as freestyle or backstroke. Begin by doing a few warm-up laps to prepare your body. Focus on your breathing rhythm and maintain a steady pace. Use different stroke techniques to work various muscle groups, and aim for at least 30 minutes of continuous movement to get the heart pumping.

Cycling

 

Cycling is another low-impact exercise that can be performed on a stationary bike or outdoors. To ensure comfort, adjust the seat height so that your legs can extend fully while pedaling. Maintain a cadence of 70-100 revolutions per minute, and vary resistance levels to increase intensity. Keep your upper body relaxed and focus on your breathing as you cycle steadily for 30-60 minutes, making sure to incorporate intervals for cardiovascular benefits.

Elliptical Training

 

The elliptical trainer provides a full-body workout without the hard impact on feet. Start by stepping onto the pedals and holding the handrails for balance. Set the machine to a moderate resistance and move the pedals in a smooth, gliding motion, ensuring your feet stay on the pedals without lifting. Alternating between forward and reverse pedaling can target different muscle groups, and aim for a session of 20-45 minutes to elevate heart rate effectively.

Rowing

 

Rowing is a great cardiovascular exercise that engages the entire body while minimizing foot impact. Begin seated with your feet securely strapped into the footplates, knees bent. Grab the handle with an overhand grip. Start the stroke by pushing with your legs, leaning back slightly, and pulling the handle to your chest. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position in a controlled manner. Aim for 20-30 minutes of consistent rowing, focusing on form and rhythm.

Seated Cardio Boxing

 

Seated cardio boxing is an effective way to get your heart rate up without stressing your feet. Sit in a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the ground. Engage your core and raise your fists to chest level. Perform alternating punches, hooks, and uppercuts at a rapid pace with controlled breathing. Add intensity by holding small weights and aim for rounds of 3-5 minutes with short rests in between to maintain aerobic activity.

Aqua Aerobics

 

Aqua aerobics is ideal for cardio with minimal foot pain due to water buoyancy reducing pressure on joints. In a pool, follow an instructor or a routine involving jogging in place, jumping jacks, and other aerobic movements. The water provides resistance, enhancing workout intensity without strain. Aim for a session lasting 45-60 minutes to reap cardiovascular and muscular benefits.

Arm Cycling (Arm Ergometer)

 

Arm cycling is effective for upper body cardio, especially when relieving pressure from feet. Sit comfortably and adjust the machine height so that it aligns with arm level. Grip the handles and pedal with your arms in a steady, circular motion. Vary the resistance to increase intensity and aim for durations of 15-30 minutes per session, focusing on maintaining a consistent pace and good posture.

Modified Tai Chi

 

Modified Tai Chi offers gentle, rhythmic movements perfect for cardiovascular work without foot stress. Stand or sit, and perform a sequence of slow, flowing movements, concentrating on posture, breathe deeply, and move gracefully. This form enhances balance and flexibility and can be practiced for 20-30 minutes to promote heart health and relaxation.

Seated Dancing

 

Seated dancing is a fun and dynamic way to engage in cardio activity while sitting. Play your favorite high-tempo music, and move your upper body to the rhythm. Involve the arms, head, and torso, incorporating movements like shoulder rolls, arm waves, and torso twists. Maintaining energy through the music, aim for a cardio session lasting 20-30 minutes.

Yoga with Dynamic Flow

 

Yoga can also be cardiovascular, especially when practiced with dynamic flows. Choose a sequence like Sun Salutations and focus on continuous movement between poses. Engage in deep breathing, linking breath with movement to elevate heart rate. Yoga not only aids cardiovascular health but also enhances flexibility and mental focus when practiced for at least 20 minutes.

How to Combine Cardio Exercises with No Foot Pain

 

Swimming and Aqua Aerobics

 

  • Combine Swimming with Aqua Aerobics for an effective water-based cardio routine. Start with a swimming session consisting of various strokes for roughly 20 minutes to enhance cardiovascular endurance, then transition to 30 minutes of aqua aerobics exercises such as jogging in place and water-based strength movements to complement the swim.

 

Cycling and Elliptical Training

 

  • Alternate between Cycling and Elliptical Training to diversify cardio workouts without impacting your feet. Cycle at a steady pace for 20-30 minutes, focusing on leg endurance, then switch to the elliptical for an additional 20 minutes to engage more of the upper body and core without high impact.

 

Rowing and Arm Cycling

 

  • Pair Rowing with Arm Cycling to maximize upper body cardiovascular benefits. Row consistently for 15-20 minutes, focusing on technique and power, and then complete a session on the arm ergometer for 15 minutes to further work the shoulders and arms, ensuring an overall balanced upper body workout.

 

Seated Cardio Boxing and Modified Tai Chi

 

  • Integrate Seated Cardio Boxing and Modified Tai Chi for varied intensity and relaxation. Begin with 3-5 rounds of seated cardio boxing to increase heart rate and calorie burn, then wind down with 20 minutes of modified Tai Chi to improve balance, coordination, and relaxation.

 

Seated Dancing and Yoga with Dynamic Flow

 

  • Blend Seated Dancing with Yoga Dynamic Flow to ensure a full-body cardiovascular experience. Start with 20 minutes of seated dancing to energize the body, followed by a 20-minute yoga flow focusing on synchronized breathing and movement to extend the workout while enhancing flexibility.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
