15 Minute Full Body Workout for Women Over 50 - Strength & Balance!

[@carolynbrown4112]

The over 50 trainer at my gym (planet Fitness) have us doing mountain climbers and jumping squats, battle ropes etc. I was reluctant initially but once I gave it a try I was shocked I could build up to doing vigorous exercises. Now I'm so glad she challenged us. If you're in good health and over 50 sky is the limit! I'm 57 yrs old. Exercise actually improves arthritis and other ailments.

[@foulmouthjapanese6316]

All facts.🎯🎯💯💯👍🏽👍🏽

[@theresajopson4157]

Would love to see more videos like this for the over 50 group. No need to beat yourself up to get in better shape. These gentle yet effective exercises are perfect! Thank You!

[@carladowell5475]

I’m so glad I found you! Thank you. I am 71 had a hysterectomy at 45, and had abdominal surgery in January. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and chronic back pain. Until the last few years I was a runner and did hitt workouts daily as well as yoga. I have missed working out and being the person I used to be. My muscles have completely atrophied and I am so weak. I so enjoyed this workout and feel so good afterwards. I look forward to following you daily. Again thank you. I feel so hopeful for the first time in three years.

[@shellyevans8209]

I'm 62 and needed some pilates workout for my age. Your great and glad I found you searching thru KZbin. Thank you.

[@Mrosheawilliams16]

Really appreciate that you're actually explaining proper posture so that your viewers can do the workout correctly

[@denises1099]

Your exercises are absolutely perfect! Your tone and pace makes it easy for a new beginner like myself to follow.

[@noelevans9223]

I agree, being over 50 and a new beginner this was a great start for me without feeling overwhelmed.

[@kcdahlia2059]

This video is just what I was looking for. Thank you! I am 70 years old and feel like this is a good start to keep moving.

[@irenecyp]

Loved the workout. I'm 49 but very overweight and wanted something my body can handle. It was perfect. Didn't even realise the time passing. Thank you Jessica for your time and for your explanations. Perfect for beginners. Highly recommended.

[@Mockduck2020]

I’m 61 and do 15 minutes of yoga daily and was noticing my sagging skin and thought I need some weight training. I found you and thought you choice of exercises and timing on each one was excellent! I also appreciated your open talk about woman centered situations. Glad I found you ☺️ Thanks.

[@peterhill4007]

Jessica love this I’m ageing and feeling it, I teach kindergarten and at 63 finding my energy levels dropping but loving to do these wonderful work outs at home as so time poor at the mo. Thankyou so much. You are an inspiration Chrissy

[@conshygirl830]

I started WW tonight & was looking for a video that would fit my needs since I'm 55 & quit smoking 3 weeks ago. I'm looking forward to your videos & starting this new chapter in my life.

[@murrayorcindymendenhall5361]

Thanks! I am 68 (almost 69!) and I go to a Pilates Studio 2X weekly and power walk about 2 3/4 miles each day! I am in FL for the winter and so need something that I can do on a mat while I am here! Awesome job and video!!😃👍

[@pamsimpson3964]

Hi Jessica, this was for my first workout with you. I found the explanations invaluable, it is really interesting to me to know about the changes and the preventative measures we can take. Thank you and I look forward to doing more workouts with you and learning more. Age 53 and feeling good😘

[@gloriawood4664]

Live in a 55 plus community and I recommend your videos to all my friends. Thanks for thoughtful and practical exercise routines.

[@KeepQuestioning243]

Jessica: Just started doing your videos a few days ago and they are so awesome. I always thought I "should" get back into yoga but could never get myself to for very long. Turns out these Pilates workouts are much more suited to what I need right now. And the way you teach them is wonderful. Thank you. 🌼

[@wendyesparros3302]

These short, focused exercises are perfect! Thanks so much for providing exercises that target specific areas of the body. I have tried many other videos but yours are the first the I really enjoyed and felt were achievable on a daily basis!🥰

[@BelindaKornstein]

So glad to have found you Jessica. Just what I was looking for. I am over 70 and it’s high time I started toning up my body. Thank you. H

[@shellilewis2285]

This was a great start for me! I’m 57 had a hip replacement and never wanted to exercise. I’m starting today! Thank you!

[@gardenvarietyvegan4096]

That nice! Relaxing end of the day workout. Most videos and classes I have found are geared more for the younger crowd. I am 60 years old and there are new challenges to improving my fitness. I’m going to try more of your videos. I feel I can trust a physical therapist. Thank you so much! 🧘‍♀️

[@Marilyn4health]

Love this workout! Strengthening the core is so important in keeping your balance as you age. I am 60. I love the osteoporosis prevention and strengthening the whole body as well. As a health and wellness consultant I have enjoyed sharing your video with others.

[@amymurphy5472]

Thank you, Jessica. I am 55 years young and 6 months ago broke my left hip and had a full hip replacement. I have always kept myself physically fit and as toned as possible and my goal is to not let this minor setback inhibit my movement and keep from my fitness.

[@kathydg6079]

Thanks. That was just what I needed this morning

[@anonymom66]

thank you for this great workout. I'm recovering from a bout of out of control hyperthyroidism, and right now can't do anything that elevates my heart rate much. I miss my HIIT workouts! For the moment I'm focusing on strength and stability, and this was perfect. I'm almost 55 and my balance is not what it used to be even though I'm decently fit. thank you!

[@lorirollefson9209]

Love! love! love! The perfect workout for this 59 year old who really need strength training!

[@kimberlyterenzoni8451]

Just what I needed today. Great find! Thank you Jessica

[@shannon1999able]

This is my favorite exercise. I am following this 4-5 a week! Thank you so much.

[@wifeofthebestmanever]

I just stumbled onto your video this morning and wanted to try something new. I’ve been doing yoga for many many years and some other over 50 strength training ones but I really really enjoyed this because you did different poses with the strength building ex that I felt like I got a stronger workout in 15 min. So I’ll be back! Thank you!

[@beckibishop6732]

I am 61 do Pilates, yoga, chi gong, and rebounding 3 times a week. I have bone spurs and arthritis in my left hip, and a bit of sciatica. Thank you for posting these videos, I had to stop doing the Pilates after having hernia surgery but your videos on how to strengthen the muscles in that area and all your great information has brought the Pilates back into my routine, I thank you!

[@dennisfrank6308]

Hello Becki... Exercise is really good for the body and going out for a workout in the morning...

[@ShelleeGraham]

GREAT 👍 workout, Jessica! Really effective and helpful. THANK YOU from a gal who just turned 60 a few days ago!

[@rumbaeventing7311]

[@susanpedersen1518]

This is my favorite among your many workouts. Are there more that are similar? It’s the perfect blend. Love the weights. This one really makes me feel that I’ve had a good balanced workout. More please!

[@terikelley4224]

Thank you so much! I’m needing to start over at 54. I haven’t been exercising for a while. I’m dealing with auto immune and needed to begin gently. I loved it!

[@bettyannwittrien-stevens7447]

Excited! Wow! Looking forward to learning, what it is, that you have to teach. Thank You!

[@paulinerichmond5948]

This was a great workout covering many of my needs, and very informative for me, I'm 65 and aim to regain some suppleness in particular.

[@annetaylor4347]

Loved this site. Doing it 3x weekly. Are there any additional sites for women over 50. I'm 82 now & would like to keep moving!

[@susanharrison2941]

I really enjoyed that and am looking forward to trying your other classes. TY

[@karenshell7266]

I never know what’s going to help me get motivated to get moving or to get in shape. “Being independent on an airplane” really resonated with me. Thanks for this! Saved, subscribed and headed down now to do your workout.

[@denisebriese6414]

Jessica thank you so much for this I can’t begin to tell you how this is made my day doing this work out I do have some prolapse going on I do believe it’s from all the aggressive workouts I’ve done over the years running Boot Camp etc...that has made it worse, feeling depressed that I really can’t do anything anymore this is made me realize that I can still be strong and work out and feel like myself thank you thank you

[@karenkingsley2531]

Exactly what i was looking for and perfectly explained ,thank you Jessica

[@thebestlife13]

Thank you, Jessica! I just turned 51 with left knee OA and hysterectomy. This is a great workout to start with.

[@hollybland9928]

Absolutely hands down one of the best videos I’ve ever seen especially for a beginner and or re-beginner, like myself , the information concisely given throughout the workout is priceless ! I liked subscribed and will be viewing the videos. By the way I’m a fit 61 year old granny who has exercised and kept in from fair to good a hella lotta years 😂 I was highly impressed with the wisdom at 42 to know it’s an investment 👏👏👏spot on information. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Illustration is very clear to be followed. Excellent! Thank you 😊

[@alwaysaperdue1]

I'm 38 but had a hysterectomy and this was gentle but challenging thank you!

[@megangepford7760]

Thank you! Yes we can do all workouts but doing them for what we are lacking helps me realize strength training and getting up and down, so glute & thigh strength is good. I want less limits to lifting and moving around!! Thanks for the information!!❤❤

[@mariachiarino3980]

One of my fave workouts. I come back to time and time again.

[@JessicaValantPilates]

Welcome back!

[@QuiltyBeeChica]

Helps my upper back pain a lot. I have seen a chiropractor and even had xrays which were normal. Thank you. No diagnosis, but relief.

[@jeckm6629]

perfect for me who's just starting out to do these exercises. very helpful. i wish i had done this earlier after i had my op. thankfully, nothing good is ever late.

[@rheaannarhodes3829]

How often is it ideally recommended to do this workout? Thanks! It was great!

Thank you Jessica. These cold Michigan winter days create extra joint stiffness in me. Perfect morning routine.

[@luisaolsen517]

Just came across this video and put it into my workout routine. I had prolapse surgery and hysterectomy this past year and just now getting back into moving again. Thanks for bring light onto that procedure since not quite sure what exercises I can do now.

[@tonyabroughton2531]

First day I've watched this, really easy yet have major benefits. Thank you for getting me motivated 💜

[@jeanlee28]

Yay!!! This is what I need!!! As you have mentioned, we are supposed to pay more attention to striking a good balance of body all the time. Plus, squaring up to hormonal imbalance or fluctuations is what we need to practice more. Thanks so much for sharing these workouts, Jessica. I really enjoyed following the sequence.

Love this video. It was gentle and doable.

[@thatgirlwearsseint]

Thank you for the tip on wrist pain. I have dealt with that for the last 7 years. I've asked my doctor and everyone I can, but no one had any recommendations other than aspirin. I'm excited to see if strengthening my upper body helps.

[@lucykazan1367]

Your routine is my evening staple, love your voice and the speed and transition from one exercise to another. Thank you Jessica 😊

[@jeffreymallory157]

Great workout! The first time I did it, I was very sore the next day. It's very easy to do too!

Thank you for your gentle teaching, however a very effective one.

Hi Jessica, any chance of having a whole body workout for women this age group that is easy on knees ? Many of these exercises I could not do as my knees would not let me and I still would love to stay strong and fit. Many thanks for your help.

[@kristygillmann9551]

Love your workouts - esp your commentary - your comments are so spot on! Would you consider adding the routine write up/notes as a download option? It would help me be able to incorporate some of your moves from one routine into another one - sort of mish/mash between some fav moves across multiple videos. THanks for what you do!
