Great workout. 8#'s

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Way to go Joyce!!

[@CarolynClark-uj7wo]

Ty did this for my morning workout

[@murielseo5094]

I like the creative way you put this HIIT style workut together. If you have energy left, do it again, change the weight of the dumbbells if you need more of a challenge. It can be easy or not, you decide. Good job Team Meredith!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Muriel!! I am happy you like it and the ways to switch up the workout...always a good thing to make it more difficult on the days you can, and less difficult on the other days when needed:)

[@denised3842]

Meredith, I can't believe I got such a good workout, seated and in 20min. Thank you again for all you are doing for us.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it and got a great workout…it’s amazing what 20 minutes can do! I’m proud of you 💖

[@entui50]

I did this workout several times a week for about 2 months before knee replacement surgery. This regimen was extremely helpful in preparing me for therapy post-op. All my therapists were amazed at how well I responded to exercises that were required. Thanks Meredith!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Love to hear this, and way to go with your hard work!! Keep it up, and remember I am here for you whenever needed!

[@shadsabohi3838]

I hope you try some new ones in the future and enjoy them as well!! I appreciate your support! Take care and best wishes, Meredith

[@margaretbarger1637]

Your seated workouts are just awesome and for us Seniors who cannot stand for any length of time; I find your instructions and encouragement so beneficial. Thank you for all you do for all Senior Citizens.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Margaret! I am so happy you found the workouts and you enjoy them! Take care and keep up the great work!

[@lindacubitoso9184]

I love this workout. I’m doing it every other day. Alternating with low impact cardio and stretches. I’m 71 and recovering from a hip replacement. I am careful not too break hip replacement protocols when working out. My PT is over.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Linda! That is a great way to do it, alternating between cardio and strength. Keep up the good work! I’m here for you!!☺️

[@marybisagno7809]

Thank you. Not a senior, not a beginner, dealing with a foot injury right now. This was a great strength training workout today. 💕

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Lizzie!!

[@GBO75]

This workout is perfect! I've been trying to encourage my 75 year old mom to increase her overall strength but she has been so resistant to trying anything new. I found you today and had her watch this video and she is actually EXCITED to start this! Thank you for providing this fabulous video. I'm going to subscribe and have her subscribe and get her moving finally!!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Ann Marie! Oh, I am so pleased with this comment, it makes me smile so much!! I am ecstatic you found the channel and your mom is willing, ready, and able to start!! So wonderful! Please know I am here for you both along this journey!! I am so proud of you both! Take care and stay well, Meredith

[@donnamolofsky5055]

Thank you, Meredith, for keeping me fit. I have had a bad knee, and the seated workouts were perfect for that. Now I am going ahead with the standing cardio. I am keeping it up. And it is so good to have the internet at my fingertips. Thank you.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I’m so happy you are enjoying all the workouts, and great work doing the standing cardio! I’m so proud of you!!

[@drleach44460]

That was a good full body workout. I like the short time frame. I tend to stay away from any that are over 30 minutes. Have a blessed day.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I am so glad you enjoy the workouts, and the shorter timed ones. I have many of them :) Keep up the great work!

[@mariatalvear]

Made me sweat, loved it

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Great job, thank you Maria!

[@kimtucker4092]

Anther fantastic workout, thank you Meridith. Its helping me think out of the box when I workout with my clients that are elderly or are recovering from surgery.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Kim, I’m so happy they are helping! Way to go!

[@elsamartinez7905]

Good morning! Getting my morning fix of movement and it feels like it's going to be a good day! Much love from Laredo, Texas

Thank you Suzette! I am so happy you like it!!

[@Sue1725]

This was brilliant thanks Meredith, used my new 1kg pink dumbbells, hope to join you later at 4pm London time

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Wonderful, I am so happy you did the workout! Great job!!

[@vickicone6355]

I just discovered your channel. I have RA and my back and limbs are so stiff, my neck has little mobility, and I can't do stairs and can't get out of chairs well. My muscles all seem atrophied, but after doing a few of your stretching videos this week, I actually have slept better and my neck has gotten a little more movement. I feel that you are going to help me become flexible again, if I continue doing these daily. Thank you for your channel, you have given me some hope.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I love that Vicki!! I am so proud of you, and very happy you found my channel and the workouts are helping you! I am here for you whenever needed!! Take care, Meredith

[@nichelemarshall9015]

I have severe arthritis in my knees so a couple of the exercises were very difficult but the others were perfect! How many days a week should I follow this routine?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Nichele! Thank you for the comment! I am happy you found this workout, staying seated is great for the knees with severe arthritis. Every other day is the best "rule of thumb". Even giving the body 2 days rest between while you build up is good. Always listen to your body and do what feels best for it! I am proud of you! Take care, Meredith

[@clc7378]

Thank You! 🙌🏼

[@joannedingle3861]

This workout was quick but hearty, thank you.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Kathleen! I love the support, and I am so happy you enjoy my workouts! We do them together:) Keep it up, together! Take care, Meredith

[@ramosfamily9028]

Thank you so much - I look forward to these workouts everyday after spending so many years thinking I could never do this type of exercise. Your calm and encouraging way of talking us through the details has allowed me to try something new in a safe way that allows me to gradually increase challenge for myself.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Oh, what a wonderful comment! I am so happy you enjoy my workouts...and they are helping you and encourage you! I am so proud of you! Thank you so much for the support, and please remember I am here for you! Take care, Meredith

[@smitha4286]

I hv an autoimmune condition and hence prefer seated workouts when it comes to weights.. Loved this set! Love the way you guide how and what to feel during each set.especially the imaginary string thingy.. your voice is soothing whenever you give instructions and that makes it easy to follow them! Thank u so much ❤ Blessings and gratitude 😊

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I am so proud of you, and so glad you enjoy my instruction style :) Keep up the great work!

[@maryross2975]

I recently broke my ankle and this work out really helps build the strength in my upper body as well as my legs without putting weight on my right foot. There are only a couple of moves that I cannot do. Thank you.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Great job Mary! Stick with the seated workouts, and you will still gain strength and allow the ankle to heal properly:) Keep up the great work! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith

[@cleopatraoatcake7364]

I'm not yet a senior (getting there) or a beginner, but this kind of workout suits me perfectly! Will check out your others!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you, enjoy!!

[@tammi67able]

Love your challenging video! Thank you! I subscribed to your channel

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much!💕

[@catherineterry9110]

so good for seniors thank you

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you!!

[@kathyising263]

Needed a quick exercise of less than 30 minutes today - this did the trick! Got me moving again after the Christmas Holiday. Thank You Meredith for all that you do!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Way to go Kathy!

[@rmuller366]

First time doing this one Meredith and loved it.💗 I used very light weights and limited my range of motion to get used to it. I hurt my right shoulder the other day so it’s been screaming because I sat too long during a watercolor session and hyper focused on the piece. Big. Heavy. Sigh. When will I learn. Blessings to you dear and thank you!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Oh Rita, I’m so happy to hear you listened to your body and used light weights with smaller ROM. I’m proud of you!

[@rmuller366]

Thanks Meredith! It wasn’t easy, but I had no choice. 2nd time doing this one and feeling great so far. Limited ROM, but increased a little weight for the lower body. I’m glad I found your workouts and FINALLY figured out that limiting ROM makes this workable for me. I tend to hyperextend and it always gets me in trouble with the arthritis in my shoulder and lower back. Thank you for all you do for us seniors out here. Blessings to you!

[@SoozWeissbergsartspace]

The chair doesn't mean it's a weenie workout! I used 8# s for my legs, 5s for my arm/shoullders. It was a great workout! As long as add a second video of another twenty minutes. :)

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Sooz! You are soo right, chair does not mean easy!! Way to go!

[@strychnine49]

Great workout, loved it! 💪👍

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much, I am so happy you enjoyed the workout!! Take care, Meredith

[@MR-kn3so]

Thank you for sharing. I love your workouts Meredith, they're challenging without being too difficult 🙂. I get so discouraged if I feel I can't keep up but with your method and good instructions I don't feel a failure if I can't do it so well. Looking forward to your live streaming on Thursday. Mary, Vienna, Austria

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Mary!! You can do it, you have been doing so well with all the workouts...just keep it up!! I am proud of you!!

[@bestfitnessguru]

"When you feel like stopping; think about why you started!"

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Exactly, great quote!! Thank you!!

[@robertbuchan4429]

What size of weights should I use?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Robert! Thank you for the comment and question. The weight of dumbbell depends on your level. Have you been or have you ever used dumbbells before? If so, you can go by what you have used in the past and start there. If you have not, start very low in weight, even soup cans or water bottles will do. Then progressively go heavier...3, 5, maybe even 8lbs. I hope this helps! Take care, Meredith

[@BethGoldberg-gq1fr]

Is it necessary to wear shoes duing this workout? I wear good shoes all day and enjoy the foot freedom. I have idiopathic neuropathy. Your workout is a step up from the seated strength training I have been doing three times a week for six months. Thanks so much! 🎉

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hello Beth! Thanks for the comment! No, shoes are not necessary. I often workout without shoes as well, to feel the floor beneath my feet, etc. I am so happy you like the workout and it will be a help to you!

[@kathyclark3168]

👍👍

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thanks Kathy!

[@andreavalmore3930]

do all timers have the ability to start and stop at specified intervals. I'm trying to figure out what to buy to do it with

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Not all timers do…here is a link www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/equipment/ I hope this helps!

[@welovebirds]

I found that several of these movements can also be done while standing

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes Beth, so true! Most can, or be modified with a standing version. Always a great option:) Thank you for your support! And keep up the great work...I am so so proud!! Take care, Meredith
