10 Minute Leg Workout // Knee Friendly Strength Building Exercises

[@auntleslie1207]

I am turning 71 in May, and am quite active, playing golf 4 times a week. I have a right hip replacement, and have been following your exercise routines daily…sometimes a combination or chair and 10 minutes series, or a cardio strength routine. I have really noticed an improvement in my posture, strength and balance. Thank you! Love your exercise routines. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Leslie! I'm thrilled to hear you are enjoying my workouts and seeing results!!! Keep up the great work :)

This is exactly what I am looking for. Healing a stress reaction at the top of my foot near my toes. I've been looking for ways to strengthen my legs while it heals up.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad to hear it's a good workout for you Melissa. All my best to you and your foot recovery :)

[@pennylaughs]

I’m recovering from an injury and this is amazing. I literally got my heart rate up with this. Crazyyyy.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

perfect! You may like my standing pilates too :)

[@helenharicot1955]

wow! i sis it! [mostly] this is the first standing exercise i have done as been seated due to recovery from a serious car crash and also chronic fatigue syndrome. it has taken me 8 months to get to a standing exercise. but i am delighted!! will look to see what other ones are at this level now!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I’m delighted for you Helen! I would check out my standing Pilates videos for more like this. They are longer, but just do half or whatever you can 🤩

[@kjesion]

I am absolutely in love with the 10 minute workouts. I can add several together or just fit in 1 if that's all I have time for. Really enjoyed this one.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! I love that you put a few together Katie :)

This is a quick, effective standing leg workout! I added 1 pound ankle weights to each ankle and could really feel the (good) burn! Thank you for all your great workouts, Lauren!

Day 22, just a quick one this evening. Whenever I need just a quick extra workout because it is my running days or I have been busy doing other stuff, these 10 min workouts hit the spot, it is not too much and I can still keep my promise.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That’s great! I have a viewer that calls the 10min workouts “workout snacks”, I love that! 🤩

God Bless you! Happy New year. I am very Happy that I found you. I have Osteoarthritis on my knees and hips and I cannot do lunges or squats. Thank you for thinking about people like me. I already subscribed to your channel and gave you a like 👍🏼.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Angela! Here is a link to another knee friendly workout that I recently posted: Knee Friendly Standing Strength Workout for Beginners & Seniors // 30 minute w/ dumbbells kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWWmlJyYg96KipI

[@Angela_1106]

@@SeniorShapeFitness Hello there, Thank you very much for this link. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis since I was 37 years old. I am 48 now. I have to be honest. The only exercise that I do is walking, But this year I have to do more and different. I also, going to try your wall Pilates. My Dr told me to do low impact exercises. Like walking, Pilates , Swimming 🏊‍♀️ and Cycling 🚴 . I am 5’7 , 140 lbs . My goal this year is to reach 130 lbs to alíviate the pain. My Dr told me to try stay the skinnier I can to not put extra pressure on my knees. Also, Since last year I changed the way I eat. Not process carbs, No sugars, no vegetables oils in order to reduce inflammation. I made my own Oatmeal bread gluten free. Anyways, Thank you for your videos. It is difficult to find videos for toning and strength your legs without doing lunges or squats. I need to lose few lbs, tone and strength my body. I can’t build up more muscle because it will be more weight for my knees to carry. And that is a BIG NO for me. Thank you , God bless you and a big hug from Miami Beach, 🏝️ Florida. USA Kind regards, Angie

[@christopherellinger9901]

Fun! I did the first three 10-min (HIIT, arms and legs). Whew! Good workouts! (Anne)

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

[@susankovar817]

Love these! Thank you!! Is 10 minute Abs coming??

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes Susan! standing abs with balance coming tomorrow :)

[@EOS-zx3cq]

🤗Oh yes! That challenged these legs! BTW, tnx for the reminders to 'hold the core' as sometimes it's easy to lose that focus. Maybe slip in some ways we can do these moves throughout the day. I've found my patients don't think about doing a move while at the sink, or microwave, waiting in line, at the park with the kids, brushing your teeth, after sitting awhile, etc, etc. It helps to keep moving with purpose allllll day❣

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So true! I'm the crazy lady in line at the grocery store doing heel raises and testing my balance ;)

[@paulagabay9915]

Love this 10 minute series Lauren was such a great add on to my upper body giant set with another trainer which had so much core so glad abs is tomorrow 😆

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad to hear it Paula :) Sounds like you are working hard! remember extra water and protein!

[@savethetpc1547]

So glad to rediscover another of your 10-minute knee-friendly leg workouts, since I've been having some knee pain lately. I plan to alternate this with your seated leg workout. I'm trying to tone up my thighs, which have gotten flabby again lately. I also noticed that you have a stretching routine for knee pain, and I may try that next. This one was definitely challenging but doable, and I felt it in both the working leg and the standing leg throughout. It seemed like a good cardio workout to me too -- do you agree?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes, you do get a little cardio with this one too. The knee pain video is also good because it's not just stretching there are also muscle strengthening exercises to build the muscles surrounding the knee for support. Definitely give that one a try. if you are comfortable getting the floor, my mat pilates videos are also great for toning the legs and the side-lying position is knee friendly.

[@savethetpc1547]

@@SeniorShapeFitness I'll take a look through those too-- thanks!

[@suel4269]

That was intense! My hip flexors are tight.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Most people's hip flexors are super tight from sitting too much, this video will help strengthen them. Make sure to stretch them out too :)

[@juliehoot3916]

👍

[@jaycopplestone3351]

Couldn't quite see the pulsing movements properly when you were head on and lifting the knee to the side or when you stretched the hip flexor at the end, could you change your position to be sure it can be seen clearly, otherwise I had no idea that such simple, compound movements could make your muscle work so hard! A revelation, thank you. X

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

The pulses are very small movements, so I'm not surprised that you couldn't see them but you sure can feel them!! I can't edit the video once it's posted, but I'll keep your suggestion about changing position in mind for next time.

[@karendoely2276]

I have brusitis so this is a challenge, but my legs have very little muscle. I can walk miles, but nothing changes.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Give this one a try Karen. It's good for bursitis : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGm8mHiamLdkiM0
