Cardio with Weights Workout for Seniors & Beginners // All Standing Exercises

Fun aerobics workout that is easy to follow along and set to the beat of the music! If you enjoy my walking workouts, you will love this one too.
Each song has 4 moves that will be repeated for an additional set. I'm using very light hand weights (2 pounds). The exercises are designed for light dumbbells so please don't go heavier. Water bottles, food cans, or wrist weights are great to use as well.
Make the workout your own with modifications as you need them.
This workout is a great way to burn calories increasing your heart rate and tone your muscles at the same time. I hope you like this combination as much as I do!

Hi Lauren. Thanks for this quick walking with weights workout. I've been exhausted this week, carrying a 2 year old who didn't want to listen to his Mom-Mom! So he was kicking and flailing, while I carried him down the steps. He actually climbed the baby gate! It's a good thing he's adorable! I don't think without your workouts, I could handle 31 pounds of a wriggly little boy Thanks again. Enjoy your weekend. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

lol! Good for you Rene, you must be getting strong to handle a 31lb wiggler!!

[@reneklein6049]

Boys are certainly a different ball game, that's for sure! 😅​@@SeniorShapeFitness

Great workout! I am one week away from 65 years old (how did THAT happen?) and I realize how important it is to have a fitness routine. I started a daily workout habit almost 3 years ago and only found SeniorShape a few months ago. It has become my favorite daily exercise - a good blend of physical and cognitive challenge, and this video is the perfect length. Looking forward to 2023 and more SeniorShape videos! Thanks Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Susan! Keep up the good work and thanks for working out with me. I appreciate your kind comments and I love that its a good fit for you. Happy Birthday!!!

Another fab session - thank you - definitely another one to repeat - doable but a bit challenging - perfect . ( I’m a reasonably fit 67 year old in the UK and have been doing on line exercise in addition to outdoor walking regularly since 2020) .Didn’t take your advice at the start and had to pause twice to drop down weights 😏I’ll know next time.Super clear instructions and I love the background music - just enough and not distracting- sound balance great👍 So pleased to have found you😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you loved it! Thanks for all your kind feedback. I agree, those weights get heavy quickly :)

[@tracyheath6076]

I am sooo glad you said you were sweating, I was starting to break one too, I was like say what??? ... I be like this girl smiling so I am going to keep going. Good workout! HA smart to use 2 pounders. I be laying on the floor with a 5 lb weight on my chest If I tried to use a heavier weight.

It was really hot outside when I filmed this a few weeks ago. I purposely wore a splotchy print tank so the sweat wouldn’t show 😆😅🥵
