These are awesome exercises. I'm 36 with a slim build and have always been naturally toned. Most people see me and instantly assume that I am fit, lol- the jokes on all of us with that assumption. Other than every day activities, I haven't been active for many years so I'm not as strong as I should be and have become quite stiff. It's so easy to take range of motion and strength for granted. Senior inspired workout videos have been so helpful on my fitness journey. I have found that many of these so-called beginners' exercises are still very difficult for someone like me. I will commit to doing this routine and as I grow stronger, I will add weights to enhance the challenge (ankle, wrists, or resistance bands). Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing! I am proud of you for finding workouts that are at your level now, and that you can make more challenging as you get stronger...way to go! I am always here for you!
I love these, Meredith! Along with all your other workouts, too! I am so grateful to have found you; with multiple injuries and a sprained right gluteus maximus, all your stretches give me wondrous pain relief and increased mobility. Also VIP is that you know about breathing, which most workout coaches seem to neglect. So you are excellent on every front! Please continue providing these to us-and at no cost! How generous a gift for all humanity; and how needed by many of us. I will continue to work with these and compensate you in whatever way I can.🙏🛐
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy that the workouts have been helpful in helping with pain and mobility. I am here for you whenever you need me! Take care, Meredith
Like I’ve mentioned before I’m not a Senior but am middle aged who deals with chronic pain and limited mobility. If I do these (when able)on a consistent basis how would this benefit me?
This workout, along with all the strength training workouts, help in a multitude of ways. Starting with strengthening the entire body, upper, lower, and core. Consistent exercise helps ease chronic pain, fibromyalgia and arthritis, and more. Strength training builds muscles, which helps mobility and posture, ultimately helping with balance. That is a quick overview, which I hope helps! Please keep me posted on how you are doing! Take care, Meredith
Meredith, I’m 74 years old and have been following you for four years. Almost every day, I work out to one of your videos. Occasionally, I will do a youtube search for other senior exercise videos, but I always come back to yours. They are fun, safe, and always a good workout. I appreciate your helpful hints for safety and effectiveness during your workouts. Other “senior exercise videos” that I have found are usually too high energy, too fast, and too difficult for the various joint issues I have. Thank you for safe, fun, and effective workout videos. 🥰Linda
Thank you so much Linda for your generous comment, and kind words! It makes me very happy that you are enjoying the workouts, and they are keeping you safe while having fun...so important! I am always here for you whenever you need me! Keep up the great work! Take care, Meredith
Strength every other day...give a day rest to allow the muscles to regrow and strengthen. And three times a day is okay, if your body feels okay with it :) Always be safe!
Thank you! The shoes I am wearing in this workout are Ryka brand slip-ons. They are very comfortable. I got mine at DSW, worth checking online to see if they still have them(I got mine a couple years ago). Best of luck :)
I'm not a Senior but I was looking for a gentle, slow and concious workout that allows me to put all my atention in every movement I make and don't stress me out with noisy workouts musics or fasts routines 😅 I like to work out in slowly pace. I did many rounds of your workout and it was a grest experience, so gently but at the same time I feelbI've work a lot my muscles. Thank you ❤
Way to go! I am so happy you like the workouts, and they are helping you feel good and working all your muscles. Keep up the great work, and remember I am here for you!
Hi, I am 60 years old and use to high paced hard workouts but because of a back injury from years ago that has started acting up my days of hard core workouts are over. So glad I found your workouts, I fully enjoyed this and no pain
You are so welcome I truly appreciate the kind words! I feel so privileged to be there for you, and so many others, helping in all ways that I can! Thank YOU!
Always get clearance from your doctor, then proceed. Also, always only do movements that feel best for you, remembering the body changes throughout the day so it is never the same. Be gentle on yourself!
