Great video, I know it's dated but it's great because it is extremely relevant (TODAY April 12 2020) to people having to workout at home during the CV virus. Nice Job. Also, I just turned 51 and started TRT 3 years ago am I still considered a natural body builder? Kindly reply.
First time seeing your video. No loud music, no long fillers , no tossing weights, direct to exercise, and some people might laugh at this, but no swearing - I stop watching a video the moment it happens. Winning formula, congrats on your format.
1. Bench press. 2. One arm dumbbell row. 3. Side lateral raises. 4. Stiff-legged dead lift. 5. Dumbbell squat (with bench). 6. Alternate dumbbell curl. 7. Dumbbell triceps extension. 3 sets / 10 reps / 3 days per week. Watch this great video for clear explanations of all the moves. Thank you!
I'm 56 and I started doing these exercises about six months ago after years of little exercise and no weight training. The results have been impressive and I feel so much better about myself. Thank you!
Outstanding Brother!!!! I'm 58 and now starting,,, just getting ideas,,,, there are Sooooo many exercises out there that people sweat by that I just don't know where to start!!!!
Great video. Less talking and just straight forward examples. There are soo many videos out there that talk, talk, talk, talk way too much. This is the video I've been looking for, thank you!
A lot of the videos that you refer to are more of an interview than they are an instructional. When you see hand gestures ad nauseum along with the excessive chatter, you know you are watching some cat that wants to be the next Tony Horton.
Good video for a 50 year old novice lifter. For me, and I'm lifting for 15 years now, nothing New here. Or great. Ordinary stuff, basic excercises and so on...
I echo that man! Terrific video, straight to the point. I am 68, novice at dumbbells, this is great advice. Thank you John Hansen, greatly appreciated.
I am 51. This year I decided to lose weight and get in shape. Since January 2020 I have lost 55 pounds in 8 months mostly with diet and lots of walking. Got 20 more to go. Hitting a plateau now for the last several three weeks... Going to try this work out to see if it gets me over the slump!
I totally agree. So many videos out there that you have to sit thru twenty minutes of crap for a couple minutes of the actual content you were clickbaited into.
Just started with all these exercises two weeks ago and feel great. John’s a professional bodybuilder and he’s level of confidence it’s hard to ignore, and straight to the point. Keep up with all these videos.
John, I am 60 years old and in the worst shape of my life. I am determined to get my health and fitness back and these exercises will be a critical part of my plan. Thanks for sharing your skill with us and for motivating me to get off the couch and get moving.
Mark I just turned 65 and incorporate all these in my workouts plus a few others. I haven’t worked out since college and started back in mid August. My BP is down to 105/60, A1c under 6.5 (I’m diabetic) and HDL/LDL in line. I’m just now starting to see some changes at 6’4” 225. I go 4x ea week. M,T,Th,Fri. Hang in there and don’t do it for anyone but you. It’s worth the effort. 👍 And thanks John for the great info. It’s never too late to start.
I am nearly 75 and I have been working with dumbbells to support the muscles I use in my work. The muscles that I developed with dumbbells are supporting the muscles that I use everyday and I no longer feel like I am breaking down. I have already taught myself some of your exercises, but I will adopt several of the new exercises into my regimen. This is an excellent video, thank you.
I introduced these 7 exercises into my gym routine a few months back and now make sure they are always my foundation and add whatever extra exercises I decide on the day, so I usually do 12 excercises. Add a mix of Pilates, Yoga and swimming to keep me flexible. I'm mid 60s and this mix works a treat.
First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. czcams.com/users/postUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.
Mike from Elk Grove California age 64. I'm a former bodybuilder, and during that past 3 years went through my final 4th and 5th major spinal surgeries. I'm physically challenged now with hardware from my Cervical, Thoracic T4-T12 and Lumbar. But prior to my surgery's I chose to return to my bodybuilding training especially if I was to survive a seven hour procedure. I made the right choice, on March 3, 2022 I set a New Record for my age and weight class Decline Bench Pressing 335 lbs. Its posted on CZcams as "335 lb Decline Bench Press Age 63 Wt 189" Full Spinal Hardware. Now I'm also a I.S.S.A CPT, I'm stronger now than I've ever been hopefully some day I can enter a West coast IPL. respectfully, Mike
Hey Mike, Thank you for your Service, and thanks for reaching out. You tell a story of perseverance that I think people who are struggling from illness/injury can relate to. It's so important to never quit on what you believe in, and always keep a positive attitude. Thanks for joining us. Stay Blessed.
My lower back has always been inflexible and gets thrown out easily. I like all your routine except for the stiff-legged deadlift. I do incorporate a regular deadlift in the routine with correct leg and body movement to reduce unnecessary load to the lower back.
I started this exercise program 5 weeks ago! I do it 3 to 4 times a week along with controlling my calorie intake, walking and some other exercises. Great motivational video for a guy thats 49, great explanation, and i hope you add a few others like it! Down 12 lbs!
Am 54 years old. I've lost 84lbs due to proper nutrition and lots of walking. Was involved in a major motor vehicle accident a few years ago with serious injuries. Have worked my way back to health mostly on my own through determined effort. Started watching and doing what is in your videos a few months ago and have seen major improvement in only a few months. I am proof that it's what is in mental strength that determines how strong one can make the body. Thank you so much for helping me improve my quality of life! Fantastic videos!
That's great stuff Tim! I had an accident too (not a car accident though) and had 14 operations over a ten year span. Doing the rehab got me into serious training and for me the change came after I started adding walking to my routine. My family got a dog and I ended up walking him most of the time and I noticed that was a great addition to my routine! I think it's great that there are tons of vids and info online so that we can absorb as much of it as we want and use anything that makes sense to us! Keep up the good work and best of luck.
Great video! I’m 62 and workout with dumbbells about 3x/week. I’m not a bodybuilder but am in pretty good shape. I have also followed Shin Otake and Jeff Cavalier. Similar approaches. Shin promotes a process of explosive contraction and 3 second negative. Minimal rest between sets while keeping heart rate elevated (high intensity approach). Max effiency for time spent. Cavalier preaches dumbbells and methods which promote always keeping the core muscles tight and contracted. These things help me (along with some yoga stretches) to protect my low back and get a good workout in 45-60 minutes.
Oh that’s great Thomas good to hear. Love to hear from you gentlemen leading the way. It gives me hope in my later years to do the same. Coach Chris (45 yrs young) 😉💪🏻
Phenomenal, I’ve been looking for some good dumbbell exercises that aren’t overly complicated during this pandemic. I see value in all these. Best of all how it was presented in a easy quick video. I’ve downloaded it and I will be using this 3 day a week for sure! Thank you!
One of the very best fitness videos that I have come across. It's amazing how a 5 minutes video is packed with so much substance. Straight to the point, no beating around the bush.
Great video...really like the presentation. New studies are showing weight training is as good or better than aerobic training for heart health. That workout can be performed in 45 minutes or so. No excuse to not train. I am 73 and lift 3 days a week.
Just found and suscribed to your channel John. Im 66 and 2019 wasn't kind as I was diagnosed with heart failure, got a stent, had both knees replaced and now in 2020 I had emergency abdominal surgery on 1-20 and now with a temporary colostomy. But Im staying positive and am on the mend. Prior to all my surgeries I hit the gym 5 days per week and did some weight lifting, swam 3/4 of a mile 3x week and hit the stationary bike hard twice weekly. Your videos will help me add in some additional strength training and watching the technique will allow me to go further faster than going it alone. Thanks John .
Best of luck to you Don, you’ve gone through a lot lately but you’ve got the right attitude so the best is ahead! Thanks for subscribing to my channel!
Just got started again after many years. Brilliant video. I've been able to structure a workout regime based on these seven exercises. Thanks for the help.
Love this ! Turning 56 next month. I have been searching a long time for a simple workout routine to get back in shape and this looks like the perfect one. Simple, well explained. Definitely something that I can commit too. Thanks for posting this great video. Starting this week ! Let’s do this.
Thank you Mr.Hanson.This April I will be 62. Your 5-minute break down of building the chest and arms and shoulders really gave me motivation to get back into it again. I've done some of the techniques but the way you showed it on this particular video. Really show me that proper technique makes a big difference on quick development. Thanks you for posting this Mr.Hanson. 💪
Here's one thing I've learned as a senior lifter and competitor about working out at home with dumbbells. Always make sure you leave more workout space around you than you think you'll need. Your furniture etc. will thank you.
I'm 56 and started this program on May 5th and feel much better. I'm eating less, walking more, and have lost 25 pounds. Thank you very much for this video!!!!
At seventy four years old, I'm glad to see this video re-affirming some of my most basic routines. However exercise number four (weighted bending exercise) is an exception.
Great video! Concise and to the point! I am always looking for tips to try. I'm 68 and work out 5 to 6 days a week. 1 hour cardio and the rest weight training. Have gone from 234 to 168 in 2 1/2 years!
Thank you, John! I hope you are doing well. I am so glad to have found this video a few years ago! I'm in my mid 50s and my wife and I were going to the gym regularly until the lockdown. I decided to try to keep the momentum going with some sort of routine in our basement. I already had dumbbells and a bench, and had been searching CZcams for a solid and practical workout. This video was just what I needed! You get right to the point and no time is wasted. I had since checked out many of your other videos and really appreciate the straightforward information on exercise, diet, muscle growth, etc. I had never been overly athletic, but have always wanted to stay healthy and in good shape. Thankfully we are back at the gym now, but these exercises remain to be my foundation. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome. I'm 68 and ran through three sets of these exercises this afternoon after my bike ride. It was a great workout. I'll have to see how I'm feeling tomorrow, but I think I'll incorporate these three days a week.
This is an outstanding workout, especially the suggestion of using the bench for the squats. My knees do not work as well as they used to. Thank you for posting this video.

That's seriously impressive! Keep it up and keep us updated on your progress.
Very good exercises and very well explained.

Thanks a lot, Pete!
At seventy four years old, I'm glad to see this video re-affirming some of my most basic routines. However exercise number four (weighted bending exercise) is an exception.
Co Rin you are my hero. I hope to Be working out at that age too
Great video! Concise and to the point! I am always looking for tips to try. I'm 68 and work out 5 to 6 days a week. 1 hour cardio and the rest weight training. Have gone from 234 to 168 in 2 1/2 years!
Fantastic!

Thank you for simplifying my life
Thank you, John! I hope you are doing well. I am so glad to have found this video a few years ago! I'm in my mid 50s and my wife and I were going to the gym regularly until the lockdown. I decided to try to keep the momentum going with some sort of routine in our basement. I already had dumbbells and a bench, and had been searching CZcams for a solid and practical workout. This video was just what I needed! You get right to the point and no time is wasted. I had since checked out many of your other videos and really appreciate the straightforward information on exercise, diet, muscle growth, etc. I had never been overly athletic, but have always wanted to stay healthy and in good shape. Thankfully we are back at the gym now, but these exercises remain to be my foundation. Thanks for the inspiration!
My 4 km walk includes one very long steep hill. I also eat lots of healthy food. from 75 yr old Erich.
Absolutely awesome moves. I’m definitely going to add each move to my regimen.
Awesome!
Good Luck William! JohnHansenFitness.com
Nice straightforward exercise. Something that I can get into! Great job!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you very much for the video along with the excellent information, I will not miss these good advices and exercises.
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Awesome. I'm 68 and ran through three sets of these exercises this afternoon after my bike ride. It was a great workout. I'll have to see how I'm feeling tomorrow, but I think I'll incorporate these three days a week.
Love to hear it! Thanks for joining us 💪
This is an outstanding workout, especially the suggestion of using the bench for the squats. My knees do not work as well as they used to. Thank you for posting this video.
You're welcome
In the old days they called them Roman Chairs.
Or box squats, using a box obviously. Most gyms have boxes in varying heights. Same principle as the bench.
Just the right thing I have been looking for. Your video is consise but the content is sufficient for a guy who is about to hit 50. Thanks.
You're welcome! Check out our other "For Men Over 50" videos for more tips: czcams.com/play/PLISBJsjoM21QSzmTGZdR1nADbKLoRMrfd.html
Really needed some ideas of what to do from home , thank you.
You're welcome!
I started doing this routine 4 times a week, loving it! I added rows or rear flys, incline pushups and burpees to the routine.
