Otherwise, circles will be elliptical and squares will be trapezoidal to some degree. If the machine tool is not "tight", then edges will not be straight and there will be poor cut quality.Basically, any time one foot is in contact with the ground it is low impact. When you are in flight, meaning both feet are in the air, it is high. For example, even in a step class with the steps stacked very high, if one foot is in contact with the ground until the other foot touches the top step and then the back foot is raised, it is a low-impact event. However, if the instructor has the students jumping or even running in a circle around the room, it is high-impact.This is where most cruise ships excel.
