This is a really good, intensive workout. However, it is not completely low impact. It does incorporate a few small hops. On my part, I was looking for totally low impact--one foot on the floor at all times with no hops. The other thing that didn't work for me is that it is step aerobics. The write up on it didn't make that apparent to me and it does not show on the image. I am not interested in step aerobics and had a hard time adapting the steps to aerobics without a step. So if these are not issues for you, this is a very good DVD.
