I prefer workouts or dancing without talking. Have a nice day 💃

[@jackiemcatamney1703]

Love the workout but the music doesn't make me feel like dancing. What about some disco or motown ?

[@silversneakers]

Love those recommendations, Jackie!

[@phillycatlady]

Ditto

[@personalpandemicstoriesorg4707]

Have you tried muting the video and playing your own music? Jane Fonda has some workouts very similar to this with some music you might enjoy.

[@doreenamohammed3918]

Yea real disco up beat music

[@rnswann6324]

I totally Agree!!! Motown, anything 60's will get me going. Disco..not so much.

[@fredgrave]

I am 84 years old and I have to keep taking a break. First day was 5 breaks, only 4 today.

[@silversneakers]

Awesome progress!

[@sherrykerr3777]

Way to go!!

[@sydneykopp608]

I just want to say that I loved this workout and I’m not a senior. I think if you are new to exercise or getting back into it, these are great ways to start. Don’t be put off by it being called for seniors because starting out with the basics is great for anyone starting out.

[@silversneakers]

We agree! We're glad you found it helpful! :) Enjoy

[@curiouscat3384]

I'm 68 and although used to be fit and out swing dancing several nights a week but have been lazy for the last 10 yrs. Feeling lousy I came looking for motivation. This is a great "starter" routine for anyone! Pretty much just a warmup for me but at least it's getting me out of my chair, lol.

[@karenday9109]

Agree. Motivation is key for this 65 year old!

[@diannebartkus9893]

Laughing, same here at 61

[@gaylespitaleri4511]

yes just a warmup this is far from burning calories

[@rhondarea9929]

I have to agree with you totally, I am 58, just been lazy and gain so much weight, it has to go ❤

[@wendyhannan2454]

@@gaylespitaleri4511Doesn’t matter we’re still moving, that’s the key. We can do it longer, or make it more energetic. 😉

[@terrylee5659]

OMG. I LOVE Sharlyn! "Strike a pose" LOL Love her energy. Her class was so much fun! I'll be coming back for more classes. Gotta lose that 30 lbs I gained during the pandemic from inactivity and binge eating! Thanks so much Sharlyn & Silver Sneakers!

[@silversneakers]

She brings the energy every class! You're so welcome.

[@gladysirons6906]

Thanks for this fantastic workout. I'm all of 80 years old and God has been good to me. I don't get a chance to walk so this workout is good for me. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@annettegenovesi]

Make it to 83 and you have a 50% chance of making it to 90. Make it to 90 and you have a 25% chance of making it to 100. Then it's 5 to 10% each year. Not bad I say. I proudly made it to 70. You hit 80! (Then I think you turn 100).

[@DanyGoldraij-DG2MARKET]

I love that I can do this workout from the comfort of my own home and still feel like I'm part of a community

[@silversneakers]

Yes! We're so happy to hear that.

[@christabellelysander4392]

Wow. This is one of the most smoothest and fun low impact dance workout i have ever done. Thank you so much 🙏

[@silversneakers]

Glad you liked it!!

[@reptilianmentality]

You workouts make me feel safe and non judged as a 22 year old getting into fitness. Thank you🫶🏼

[@suephillips2179]

This brought back many happy memories! I could only do these gripping the back of a chair due to past medical issues but I'm hoping to improve. Thank you 😊

[@Koselill]

Im young, but after an illness made me sedentary for 3 years, my cardio is at the bottom. Every single dance routine I tried was just too tough or fast for me, but this one seems to be the perfect beginner workout for me! It also helps that you're so sweet and fun! 😊

[@Guest31621]

@koselill - Sorry for your struggles. On the video, go to Settings and adjust the Normal speed below Normal, like .75x, .5x, .25x; or if you want the video faster..problem solved . I do this if I am copying a text on the videos for instant reading instead of sharing. Or if they talk so fast, can't catch up with the conversation. 😊😊😊

[@Guest31621]

Or you can just make up your own steps as long as you follow her beat so you can make your heart race faster. It's not an exercise if you can't make your heart beat faster Hope it helps

[@lillymiranda9745]

Hi I've been a member for about 3 yrs now. On occasion I'd go in and exercise with the instructor, but I was not taking full advantage of this program. Always tired or busy, even though I'm retired. On vacation with my son and learned that I need to take time for self care. So when I go back home, that's going to be 2nd priority. Thank you so much for this program. On occasion I make it out to the gym, but not often. Again thank you. Much appreciated. 🙏

[@silversneakers]

Hi Lilly! Self care is one of the most important things we can do to help ourselves and live our best life! We are so thankful to have you as a member! 💙

[@cjenkins8785]

Whew! I am going to play this video again after I catch my breath. 💃

[@SusanPrevost]

This was very good for my 73 year old body. Easy to follow and decent music. It was a great way to end my workout of the day.

[@MicheleDoenges]

My mum and I have recently started exercising together, but as she's 68 and recovering from knee surgery and I'm quite overweight, we've been struggling to find routines that suit us both. This is perfect for us! Thank you so much for posting this. :D

[@silversneakers]

Best of luck to both of you in your journey!

[@virginiaalarcon4359]

Thanks for your easy to follow steps. Will help to restore back my wellness after a TIA diagnosis. I’m 77 yrs old from Alberta Canada.! You make it looks like easy to do with your moves.

[@gloriaradmore6192]

A perfect start to my goal to be more active after my 78th birthday last week. Looking forward to more dance classes!!! Very much enjoyed your routine! Thank you!

[@silversneakers]

Happy birthday!!

[@User-4-mn3or]

Very good and easy routine for this 74 yo!

[@patsyhylton2384]

I love this dance workout may the good Lord Bless and keep us all Amen

[@bellamarantan]

Yes I love to dance

[@margaretchayka6878]

Thank you for the great workout. I'm totally uncoordinated following dance steps, and it must be quite comical to watch me going at it, but it was great fun! I actually turned off the sound here and plugged into headphones with good dance music on, and it's such an improvement over just doing it solo. I'm a multi-tasker, and it gets boring just dancing around on my own. Following along actually gives you something to do, and focus on, instead of the time.

[@silversneakers]

We are so glad that you enjoyed our dance workout! Keep it up!

[@phoebehodges-carter6187]

It's official, Silver Sneakers is the only workout series that doesn't go too fast for me LOL

[@mpoimokhafola333]

I really enjoyed it ❤️❤️

[@Ail13014]

Am 80 and still going!loved this video. Aileen Choate

[@crenous1967cr]

First time here, I’m not quite a senior just yet 55 on the 26th of this month. Definitely was a workout for me. I didn’t actually make it the full 20 minutes. I haven’t worked out in about 30 years due to health issues. I’m actually doing this with a bum knee. MRI on Monday. But today I started a new health journey. Doing Keto and taking some organic supplements to help me lose weight. Hopefully I will be able to make it all the way through soon. Thank you for these videos. I think I’m really going to like them. I’m also doing chair yoga.

[@NewZealandallblacks627]

Christia- same here! We are exactly the same age!

[@curiouscat3384]

Hey there - good for you getting started. Just a tip that there are chiropractors and physical therapists on youtube who teach exercises to strengthen knees. My favorites are Dr.John Bergman, and Bob & Brad :)

[@barbaraheiam-bjornsen7466]

Don't eat meat, dairy or sugar and you'll feel great in a week 😉👍 The food, drug and medical/pharmaceuticals industries have been slowly poisoning us/ k I l l I n g us since 1930!

[@patsyhylton2384]

Thank you my Lady and God Bless You Amen❤❤

[@francesoha2062]

So good for your joints and your brain.Thankyou.

[@xyz12345457]

Don't know about all of you people, but if you remember the 70s & '80s exercise trends, dance aerobics was IT. We had choreography set to match the fun, danceable songs. When I heard them playing in the grocery store it made me want to do my aerobics steps. That's what I'm looking for, something that makes me want to do aerobic dance in the grocery store. Surely the copyright on those 50-year-old songs is over by now. Yes?

[@nancyorchard8867]

First day here...feeling mostly uncoordinated but will try again tomorrow. I didn't find the 20 minutes over-taxing...but can definitely approve on my moves. I have difficulty coordinating hand moves with feet moves and doing them "backwards" from what the instructor is doing. I'm guessing I will improve. So glad to be able to find these videos!

[@pubalisengupta3374]

Nice workout. Just perfect for me. Keeping me sweaty but not exhausted. Please upload some more dance workout for seniors.

[@staceyspargo5897]

This is so good. I am so out of practice, but will be on it now. I enjoy her energy.

[@leelee6850]

This was my first morning and I didn’t quite finish but I will be back.

[@pegbrubaker6107]

I did this workout yesterday and really enjoyed it

[@peggyhunter2353]

I truly enjoyed my dance workout and the chair routine. Thank you so much.

[@ElaineMay-uy6ez]

Great warm up. Love it!

[@judycampbell9640]

I had a sccond surgery on my foot today, so am checking out a plan of attack for when I can get using my foot again, this workout looks like it will fit the bill, and I always enjoyed dancing in my younger years. Thank you for making it available, looking forward to using it!

[@sugashak54]

Absolutely fantastic - thank you xxx

[@barbaragray8101]

Great! Brings back memories!

[@gailjohnson6670]

Thank you. Blessings to you.

[@janetdean1296]

Yeah I love soul music

[@penderisdale]

I absolutely loved this, thank you! Can't believe I did the whole routine with you. So grateful! Happy and blessed 2023 from sunny South Africa ❤️

That's awesome!! Thank you for sharing with us.

Wonderful!

[@lokzen61]

I had my second hip replacement op in 9 months eight weeks ago, I feel unfit and fat. I haven't exercised for years, after being ultra fit in my youth. I am so glad I discovered this site today, I managed to do this workout all the way through, it's brilliant, and I will keep on doing it. Thank you!

[@springwood1331]

That's great, good.luck to you, hope you're still.going strong.

[@pattycb2537]

Have done this so many times, I have it memorized, but it's a great workout!

Thank you! I really enjoy it

Love the workout and the music 🎶! Thank you ❤️

[@delfinabregaudit6630]

Hi, this is David's wife Frances. I really appreciate your dance steps. Graceful, not harsh, but works! I've been doing a 15 minute workout exercise that makes me lose weight (I'm petite and slim). I don't need to lose a lot of weight but this one works all my muscles, blood circulation. And this is all I need to do everyday. Really great for seniors who still enjoy dancing gracefully!!! Thank you greatly!!! I also appreciate the stretches at the end! Some workouts don't have it. Thanks again. I just turned 59 and enjoying life!!!

[@honeyNmickey]

Way to go Delfina!!!!!

[@karenloeb4605]

Fun workout for days when there aren't class times I can do--2300 steps. I'm happy!

[@ritalittle5863]

This is a great workout, easy to follow.

[@tarabrown9734]

I’m 41 and just did this workout. She really gets ya in the end with those mambos and salsas!! I know I’m not senior age, but I do have a slight back injury so I have to take it more easy than regular workouts.

[@silversneakers]

You've got this!

[@nancycross2119]

this class gets all areas of the body!! love that it incorporates dance moves! Many thank you! I feel great!:)

[@portiamanlapaz2270]

Thank you. God bless

[@birgitrhoads6403]

Thank you once again.Great workout.

I am 65 years of age. Tnis is a petfect pace for me until I learn the toutine. So fun! Thanks for this 😊

[@blanquitadalmacio220]

Love this, very cool especially to seniors like me, 75 y/o alrey. Tnx ❤🙏

[@mistyriennett5902]

I don't mind the music, it's not invasive and I can hear you so I think it's great. I like it that it's in the background. A lot of these people make the music so loud. It's irritating

[@janetmannsdesign]

Thank you for this great workout.

[@emerfox1]

Thank you so much for this. I got through this and didn’t notice the time. Hopefully my first step back to fitness. ❤

[@silversneakers]

Keep at it! You got this.

[@spaciodecm]

Beautiful thank you ❤️😊

[@susansarraf8583]

Fun work out! Just perfect, not too hard, not too easy!

[@SylvieZen]

Hello, I'm 61 and have problems with my left shoulder and my right hip. I see a physiotherapist for more than 2 months and do exercises at home 2 times a day. My goal is doing trails again, about 10 to 15 kms with my friends. I found your channel yesterday and right now did the whole routine. That's for me ! Sport by dancing is a great idea, I love dance. Thank you again, I will try to do it every day. Warm greetings from France (French Brittany)

[@pennyhare925]

Great workout !

[@89wm1]

I want to learn to dance to get into better shape. I can do aerobics just fine, but this seems harder. I think if it was slowed down & broken down step by step, I could get it better. I will try to look for videos like that, and then come back to this, it looks like a lot of fun and seems to be a great workout.

[@lucillehouseholder9853]

I love music with a contagious beat, that just make you want to dance!
