  • Weight Loss workout perfect for beginners and seniors using low impact cardio and dumbbells for strength training.
    The first half of this fun workout is all low impact cardio to increase the heart rate and burn calories. It's easy to follow along and get a great workout!
    The second half is weight training using dumbbells. I'm using 10 pounds in this workout. Please use what you are comfortable with and always start lighter if you are unsure.
    We loose 5 pounds of muscle every decade after 30 years of age. Unless we increase our strength training, that muscle turns into fat. Muscle burns a lot more calories than fat and continues to burn calories long after the workout. Up to 3 days later! Lifting heavier weights is also imperative in maintaining and increasing bone density. This workout includes the best of everything and can be done multiple times a week. It is done all in a standing position and includes a warm up and stretching.
    Enjoy and thanks for workout out with me!

    The Workout for Weight Loss is one of my favorites. I’m a 63 year old black female with chronic neck and back pain as a result of a car accident in 2005. Your workouts have helped me tremendously. I’m getting stronger; I started with 3lb weights and today I went up to 5lb weights. Thank you for the wonderful exercises. You are a benefit to seniors and those just starting a workout program!!😊

    • @SeniorShapeFitness
      @SeniorShapeFitness  Před rokem +4

      Thank you so much Donna, I appreciate that! Great job increasing your weights today. I can't remember if you commented and did the New Year's workout? I think it's very similar to this one. You should try it if you haven't already :)

    I am in my early 30s, but I engaged in very unhealthy eating habits in my teens and early 20s that caused substantial weight loss and of course, muscle loss.
    Even after I gained back some of the weight through a solid, informed diet and a drastic mental shift, I honestly worried I had damaged my body forever. I was so weak I couldn't get through most exercise videos, and it wasn't for lack of trying.
    Thank you for these videos. They are challenging but not overwhelming. I am sore, but I am able to function the next day. They give me hope that I can restore my body to a healthy muscle to fat ratio in time.
    I can't believe you don't have more subscribers, because you deserve more. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for all you do!

    • @SeniorShapeFitness
      @SeniorShapeFitness  Před 2 lety +1

I'm a very active senior, well over 65, who does SOMEthing daily, whether it's, hiking, skiing, biking or whatever, yet this particular workout makes me sweat and I'm only at the 5 lb weights! Lauren, thank you so very much for all the programs you've put together. - I like to mix them up. They are my morning joy which set my day!

    I had to back off the 5 lb weights and go back to 3 for some of the other videos with weights because of my shoulders. I use 5 lb weights for this one and it worked out just fine so far. Thank you so much you have made me stronger!

    I did this type of workout at the gym classes with other ladies 13- 15 years ago and loved them.
    Life challenges and changes happened and I have been trying to get back to working out at home now and eating correctly. Age 65 now and a little more stiffer but so glad to do this workout again. It challenges the mind and the body and I did indeed remember most of the moves. YAY!!.
    I have enjoyed all your workouts I have been doing. Thank you a lot

    Used 10lb weights throughout the workout. Getting better and better at tightening my abs and keeping pelvic tilted when appropriate through the workouts. It is showing that is it being tightened as well. Thank you Lauren! Have a great workout. 😅😅😅😊😊

  • @user-lf9sn5zc6r
    @user-lf9sn5zc6r Před 15 dny

    This is one I will be returning to time and again. I am 73, and using 5 lbs weights due to cranky elbow and shoulder, with no problem, until we did the balance-challenging lunges. I can see that my balance while holding a weight needs work (like carrying groceries up some steps!). Thank you for all the tips!

    Wow! Great workout. I can tell I am getting stronger. Started your workouts about 4 months ago with 2 or 3 pounds and now I am working with 4 to 5 pounds on most things. Today I used 5 pounds through whole workout. I will be 73 next week! Thank you for all your wonderful routines and your explanations.

  • @jeepersandrandy
    @jeepersandrandy Před 9 měsíci

    Great combination of cardio and weights, Lauren! I used 6 pound weights and by the end I was glistening. This was appropriate for anyone as I had a bad whiplash injury in 1985 which was not properly addressed and I suffered from neck, shoulder and back degenerative disc disease as well as fibromyalgia, massive migraines, IBS and chronic pain as a result of this and I am 68 years old! This workout was just right! Thanks so much!

    Hi Lauren! I am 61 & started working out with you about a month ago and I love it so much! I have been a consistent exerciser for years and became proficient in weight training in 2014. Unfortunately, I have dealt with three abdominal surgeries in the past six years. Being cautious and dealing with repeated recoveries has really changed the way I work out and I love that you have so many creative workouts that include so many compound movements! I look forward to getting a safe weight training “fix” with you and enjoy the variety of so many of your workouts. Thank you!❤

You will be with me on my journey to hike up Tamarack mountain in September. Thank you Lauren.

I'm 57 and used 5 lbs weights. Some of the moves I could have used 8 lbs which I will try next time. I so appreciate YOU !!!

    @katherinereed4586 Před rokem

    I just discovered these videos, and they’re perfect for getting back into weights, which I’ve skimped on the past few years. The warmups and workouts are solid. The cooldowns are not adequate for me, I have to say, so I stop the video and get down on the floor so I can do some proper stretching, like figure 4s and hamstring stretches. The cooldowns are the only weakness of these weight workouts.

I have been doing pretty intense workouts since my 20s but had to change since last month. Your workouts are perfect for “getting back” my fitness. I think I’ve done one of them every day for the last 2 weeks. I haven’t tried barre yet since I do t know what that is 😆 but have done most others. This workout was awesome. Thank you!

My recent blood test results have shown improvement, would not have been able to achieve this, if not for your help. I started with 1kg weights and now am using 3kg. Thanks again!

    I am so delighted to have found this excelent workout series today!
    I am a lifelong exerciser who has had to take many months off due to illness. Three separate episodes of Covid have left me feeling drained, winded, sore, weak and inflexible. I have been longing to return to exercise as it always makes feel so healthy, energized, nimble and happy. This workout was the perfect starting point.
    I offer the following in hopes that it can be of constructive use to someone else out there:
    Quality, targeted gentle warm up: 5 stars
    Quality, gentle cardio with options to intensify: 5 stars
    Quality gentle, targeted and essential/ functional strength training: 5 stars
    Gentle introduction of balance and coordination work for brain and body: 5 stars
    Quiet music which does not distract or obscure the spoken instructions: 5 stars
    Peaceful, lclean, aesthetically attractive set design: 5 stars
    Personable and charismatic instructor who offers calm, intelligent, constructive coaching support: 5 stars (I sincerely thank you for not weaving motivational platitudes throughout as these can be construed as patronizing and entirely off putting by many viewers).
    I look forward to experiencing the episodes in your current library of workouts and would be thrilled to see this program continue to grow in content. Wishing you every success with this series!
    With great appreciation,
    Tara

      Wow! What a review Tara! Thank you so much for your kind and positive comments. I’m am humbled and truly appreciate you and the time you took to write it. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the workout and I hope you like the others too! Best of luck on your Covid recovery. From personal experience and from what I’ve heard from other viewers, it really takes a while for the body to recover. Be patient with yourself and take it easy. Be well, Lauren 💜

    was able to use my 6 pound weights for the entire strength section. thanks so much this is really helping. I was recently diagnosed as pre diabetic and these workouts should help. it is new pushing my body this hard in a work out. i am not as nervous as I was about injuring myself. I am learning to trust my body. Now on to hip stretches. burned 250 caleries during this workout.

    We've been following your walking for seniors for a month now and have noticed amazing benefits. I'm going to graduate to the cardio strength in a couple of weeks with 5 lb bells. I like your workouts so much that I sometimes do them twice a day. Thanks for doing this kind of work.

    All I can say is wow! I never sweat doing workouts with anyone else. With yoyr videos, I definitely do. Thank you for incorporating both cardio and weights. The time goes by so quickly. Thank you also for not putting the timer on the screen. I so appreciate that. It's like being in a treadmill and you cover the time with a towel because you don't want to know how much time you have left.
    Presently, I'm using 5lbs in each hand. I'm going to order 8lb weights. I think I'm ready, thanks to you.
    Have a fabulous weekend, Lauren. ❤❤🥰

    I always love your workouts…the only one I cannot do is the Barre because of neuroma in my foot but LOVE the rest! I was dreading doing this one but used 5lbs and really like that cardio was half and strength the other half….thank you for reminding us of the “why” as we age. I’m 65 and workout 5-6 days a week. God bless you Lauren !!!

    I got a good sweat out with this one today. But I have to tell you, since I started working out with your video's (beginning with the 'chair' ones for a month) for the last 2 1/2 months, the beginning of this one was super easy. Squats are no problem anymore! Had I made the decision to start yoga at the beginning of the Pandemic, I would be 15 lb. lighter. Here's to getting my senior shape back (6 days a week).

  • @debbiejones6239
    @debbiejones6239 Před 4 měsíci

    Great workout! I keep my weights no more then 5 at 6lbs yes years back I tore my rotary cut it’s healed, but I can still feel it and I don’t want to repeat that! that took quite a few years to heal to where I’m at today thank God I can workout❣️ my favorite is the cardio strength gets it all!🤸‍♀️

  • @bvjaxon7428

    Thank you so so much for all you do for seniors like me and my community. This workout and others, like full body w/weights & barre w/ full body sculpting , encourage and challenge us to keep active. Many of us, however (and of course no fault of your own) are hearing impaired. For us, you are enough 💕 increasing the volume unfortunately increases more the music and not your instructions.

    • @SeniorShapeFitness
      @SeniorShapeFitness  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi and thanks for reaching out and for your kind words! Im thrilled you are enjoying my videos. I'm working on turning down the music volume in my videos and I appreciate your feedback. Another idea is for you to turn on your closed captioning which may help with receiving clear instructions. Thank you so much for working out with me and keep up the good work!

  • @leticiamagbujos301
    @leticiamagbujos301 Před rokem

  • @gaillovesdiamonds
    @gaillovesdiamonds Před 3 lety +1

    Well done! As a senior personal trainer and group exercise specialist the only parts I wouldn't do with my senior advanced classes are the body rolls (some of my seniors get dizzy doing them) and the overhead triceps extension (senior shoulder issues - I'll do staggered stance tricep kickbacks or presses). I love the progression shown in cardio plus the beautiful background and finally, your delivery is superb!

    • @SeniorShapeFitness

    Wow! I really enjoyed this video and I know I will feel it tomorrow. I have scoliosis with back pain and some limited mobility. I have a difficult time doing curtesy lunges and one legged squats, but your squat was perfect for me. I liked doing a longer video on the weekend, and the shorter ones are appreciated on a work day. Yesterday I did a stability posture video you have and I felt so good after completing it. Thank you for all you do!

    Good morning Lauren, I have been doing your work outs not consistently enough. I’m 59 and need to keep my muscles strong. I started back on your workouts this week after along pause. I did the cardio on Monday and the weight loss today adding the stretches in between. I love the soft tone but I can really feel the muscle and sweat. Thank you. I’m working up to your kick boxing video. I also have shared verbally with my coworkers. Awesome workouts!!!

    Really like this one. Back in my 30's I was really into lifting weights now I don't know why I stopped. I only used 5 pounds today but will increase next time. By the by, every time you ask if the tummy is pulled in, you can hear hell no as my answer. 😁Put a sign on you wall as a constant reminder and I more than likely will ignore it. My breathing is great, my belly button pulled in a work in progress. Thanks for asking since it is then pulled in for 10 seconds.
