8-Minute UPPER BODY Workout With Light Weights | Women Over 50!

An 8-minute standing arm upper body workout for women over 50 using 1kg or 3 pound weights working the upper body including arms, back, shoulders and chest, can offer several benefits for women's fitness and endurance, and contribute to longevity when combined with a well-rounded exercise routine and a healthy lifestyle. Here are some of the benefits:
Improved Muscular Endurance: Working out your arm muscles with light weights for 8 minutes can help enhance muscular endurance. This is particularly beneficial for everyday tasks that involve lifting or carrying objects.
Toning and Definition: Regular arm workouts can help tone and define your arm muscles, giving them a more sculpted appearance. While 1kg weights may not lead to significant muscle growth, they can help create leaner, more toned arms.
Increased Metabolism: Engaging in short, high-intensity workouts like an 8-minute arm workout can temporarily increase your metabolism. Over time, this can contribute to overall weight management and improved fitness.
Joint Health: Light resistance training can promote joint health by strengthening the muscles around the joints. Stronger muscles can help stabilize the joints, reducing the risk of injury and discomfort.
Functional Fitness: Strong arm muscles are essential for various daily activities, such as carrying groceries, lifting children, or performing household chores. Improved arm strength can make these tasks easier and reduce the risk of strain or injury.
Enhanced Cardiovascular Benefits: While the primary focus of an arm workout is on the upper body, it can still contribute to overall cardiovascular fitness. Engaging in full-body movements, even with light weights, can increase your heart rate and provide cardiovascular benefits.
Stress Reduction: Physical activity, including short workouts, can help reduce stress and improve mental well-being. Regular exercise has been associated with better mood and reduced risk of depression and anxiety.
Longevity: Regular exercise, including resistance training like arm workouts, is associated with improved longevity. It can help reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, which can positively impact overall lifespan and quality of life.
It's important to note that an 8-minute arm workout with 1kg weights is just one component of a comprehensive fitness routine. For optimal results and longevity benefits, consider incorporating a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups, including cardiovascular workouts, core strengthening, flexibility training, and balanced nutrition. You can find all the variety you need here at fabulous50s, and if you're ready, take a 14 day challenge...you will not regret it!
Also, if you are new to exercise or have any underlying medical conditions, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or fitness professional before starting any new exercise program to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your individual needs and goals.⏲️TIMESTAMP

[@josiemagnanti6527]

I dropped the weight for my right arm in like the 3rd or 4th exercise due to a slight injury i have

[@alisonmccarey8958]

Hi I love your videos but when I do upper body arm exercises like these i always get neck strain or pain .. how can I do these without straining my neck what am I doing wrong ? Tia x

[@windust4503]

Hello Shellea. I just wanted to tell you how very grateful I am to have found your channel. I have been Nordic walking/jogging for so many years. Lately, my hips and knees have really been bothering me. Now winter has set in. I have only been doing your workouts for a week. I just can't believe how GOOD I feel during & after. I never thought it possible to workout in the home and really obtain any results. How wrong I was. I am 57 and struggling with menopause. Your kind spirit has lifted me... a million thank yous!

[@fabulous50s]

I’m so happy you’re part of our community, @windust4503 💪 Thank you for sharing your progress with me and keep up the fabulous work. I’m sending you a big hug 🤗❤️

[@teddybears4life240]

Ty... IM 51 AND STARTING to get menopause flab...and I CANT STAND IT...ty for the tips.

[@brendaellen2953]

Perfect! Love each of the exercises in this video! Always look forward to doing your workouts. You are an inspiration and motivation! Thanks so much! 😊

[@michelehedges422]

I definitely had to drop my weights! My hands are trembling as I type this - great workout!

[@dietbydesignlifestyleminis8271]

Wow this workout was amazing! I have done your other arm workouts but this was truly what I need thank you your are the best!!!

[@user-zt2nu2tk9b]

Another great workout, very energetic. I know my arms will ache tomorrow but it is so worth it. Thanks ever so much Shellea. Your workouts are also fantastic for the mind, very uplifting.

[@joeyscrazycookingshow9726]

I love doing this arm workout with you, Schellea! You are such an inspiration to us over 50 year olds! I love it at the end when you say: "this is not part of the fake world we live in." That really resonates with me. I'm on chapter 8 in a Course in Miracles and learning all about illusions and what is real. Love, love, love you! Sending you hugs from sunny Florida! ~Joelle

[@user-bn9co3kn9u]

Great workout Shellea, I love the 8 minute targeted area workouts. You can dip into as many as you have time for 👍🏻

[@trinacorbett40]

Great video. I did drop my weights in each exercise as I felt need. So grateful for your workouts. They are effective! And I don't have to be doing HIIT or beating my knees up on a run to get good exercise!

[@trmmurphy8]

First time doing weights, I have been doing your knee exercises for the last year or so and find them brilliant! I loved this weights workout, I used two 400g tins as i had no weights, glad i did cos I'm gonna buy only 1ib weights to start with! What i love about your workouts is that they are long enough to make you feel you achieved something but short enough to motivate you to do them every day. Your positivity is just gorgeous Shelley. You can just tell that you are a beautiful person on the inside too! Thanks for being there! Hugs from Trisha in Ireland

[@barbie19604]

Oh my!, I’m really happy to find you, here on You Tube. I’m trying to do this every other day. Starting to make a difference. I’m a hygienist and work is easier on my shoulders. Thank you! 🙏 I’m planning to add the other workouts as well. 😊

[@brendahuman5559]

Toward the end I missed a few reps but stayed with it. I like the jazz music, no harsh lyrics-just motivating. Real and attainable. Thank you!

Amen to everything you said!! The music is fine, too. Thk you so much.

[@wendydavies5815]

And yet again thank you Schellea! I really like the 8 minute workouts. I usually string a few together. I actually did this one with 5 lb weights because I have been using weights forever but I was definitely feeling it by that last exercise! 😂

[@fabulous50s]

Congratulations on putting in all the effort Wendy! You should be so proud of yourself 🙌❤️

You are a star Tammy! I’m so happy you’re working out with me ❤️

[@madeleinegerritsen3240]

I'm 41 and a big Girl. Doing this 2 times a week for 1.5 months now, and can seriously see my arms get more defined. Also my cloths are slowly fitting better around my upper arms. ❤ Thank you for this easy, yet effective workout.

[@fabulous50s]

Amazing work Madalyn, and congratulations on your commitment to making change! I’m so excited that you’re starting to see your arms defined, that is a big win and you should be proud of yourself! May I suggest that you buy a set of dumbbell weights that are one and two sizes up from what you’re currently can lift. And when you can easily do a set of 10 without too much strain, pick up the next. This is going to help you build more muscle and lose more weight. You are a star 💃

[@madeleinegerritsen3240]

@@fabulous50s thank you for your kind words of encouragement. This means a lot to me. And Yes, I should go out and get bigger dumbells to make more progress. Keep up your motivating video's and keep being amazing !!

[@kimferguson954]

Wow, this surprised me at how challenging it was. I had to lower my arms a few times. I will keep this one in the lineup and work into being able to complete it all the wat through without lowering the weights. Thank you for these workouts and mostly for your encouragement. 💛

Love this exercise! Much harder than it looks but doable. I like the instrumental only music too. I am working on reversing osteopenia naturally so anything with weights I appreciate. And of course I appreciate all you do to motivate me and so many other mature women to be healthy.

WHEW!!! This was wonderful for the arms but it was HARD near the end, especially holding the arms up. I had to drop my arms a couple of times, but then started up again a few seconds later to continue with the move. I used 3-lb weights, but will use smaller weights next time and will work my way up gradually from there as I progress!
