25 Minute Mini Band Workout | Seniors, Beginners

This mini band workout will build muscle in your legs, glutes, arms, shoulders, back, and core. It can be done seated or standing. Resistance bands are great because you can adjust the tension to your own level.
Resistance training is important to combat the loss of muscle and bone that occurs as we age. Strong muscles and bones will enable us to be strong and independent as long as possible, lowering the risk of falls which are the number one cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults.
In the video, we do two rounds of the following exercises:
✳️ Chair Standup/Squats
✳️ Knee ups
✳️ Leg Lifts
✳️ Shoulder Raises
✳️ Pullbacks
✳️ Tricep Extensions
✳️ Bicep Curls
For this workout, you can use one of three types of bands that can be found online or in stores. Below are links to purchase them on Amazon:
✅ Mini loop resistance bands: amzn.to/3gelOG3
✅ Strappy Bands - amzn.to/3eUxXP0
✅ Tube Bands with handles - amzn.to/3eZzX8D
For this workout, the strappy-type bands and tube bands should be tied in a circle with tension in the band when you have them around your wrists shoulder-width apart.

Good morning from New Hampshire. Its a beautiful 🌱 spring day in April .We actually reached 60 F yesterday! I am looking forward to walking up to our main farm at noon. The dirt roads remain dry. There are a few cows outside, with their new calves by the barn. A new beginning! Thank you for sending me the link to the band work out series. That was next on my list. I have small free weights, but the bands allow me to grab on, using an even tension with both hands. Also looking forward to following this series and getting into better shape for summer activities 🚴🏊🌞🔥⛺

[@yes2next]

Thank you and hello to you in New Hampshire! It sounds like a beautiful idyllic day on your farm! Happy you received the link to the band work out series! They are a good exercise tool to build strong muscles. Keep up the good work and keep moving in your inviting surroundings! See you soon! ❤️

I started doing videos with you 5-6 days a week this Summer. I love them all. I went and bought mini bands so I could do this video. My goodness!! I felt this in my upper body more than with the weights. This is great! It will definitely be in my rotation often.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the workouts and pleased to know you are doing the workouts 5-6 days a week! 👏 That's terrific to keep your heart and muscles strong!

First off, your mom is so stinkin' CUTE!! Secondly, thank you so much for these videos. They're the perfect way for me (a former ballet dancer) to gently get back into an exercise routine after decades of a sedenatry lifestyle. I'm so grateful to have found you!

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Happy you found us too and pleased we can help to get you back into exercising again! 👏 Your enthusiasm to do so is a big step to getting strong again! Mom says Hi and thanks much for your sweet words! She hopes to see you working out with us soon! She is cheering you on! ❤️

[@cherylmalone9736]

I need this type of workout and you, April are the only instructor I trust for this. Two years ago I had spinal surgery and it wasn't until this year; that I have been able to walk a bit and other exercises. It has been a challenge ; but thanks to you and your mom, I accepted the challenge to rebuild my body.

[@yes2next]

Thank you for your kind words of support! Happy the workout can help you to get back to feeling your best again! Proud of you for challenging yourself to exercise your body! 👏Start slow and at a pace that is comfortable for you! No need to rush! Mom says Hi and is in awe of your positive spirit to get stronger! She says her "turtle" pace is a good one to use if you want! 😉Important thing is you are working your heart and muscles and that's always a good thing! Keep it going and keep moving with us! We hope you feel better and stronger each day! See you soon! 🧡

Hi April and Aiko, I have always liked resistence training, but never used mini exercise bands before. Great selection of exercises, thank you. ps Mochi has a wonderful bushy tail - Julie (Dublin, Ireland)

Hello there, thank you very much for the video. I would love to know what shoes should a senior or anyone with flatfeet wear, be it for working out, regular, or even running?
