Fall in love with taking care of your body | Exercises for Seniors & Beginners | Day 23

Welcome to day 23! Choosing to exercise isn't always easy, but when you think about the benefits, it makes it easier to fall in love with taking care of your body. Today we will be working on exercises to build stronger legs, shoulders and core. The stretching portion today is a little bit longer since we are working harder this last week and I wanted to ensure you are giving flexibility some extra attention this week. This program is 5 weeks of different workouts for seniors and beginners to get stronger. After the 5 weeks, you can continue to repeat week 5 to see continued results.
Whether you are 20 or 70, this strength training program can help you to become a stronger you in a short period of time. We will work out 5 days a week, have two days off and will come back the next week with new exercises to keep you motivated. This program is suitable for seniors who are used to exercising, and beginners new to strength training. Ensure you warm up first and check in with your doctor to make sure you can start a strength training program.

Just a heads up! I edited this video part way through since I was afraid people might use too heavy of a weight with a particular exercise. If you have time, add on an extra set of squats at the end of the workout to provide your legs with a bit more of a challenge. You'll notice the timer is off today since I cut part of the video out.

I like that this workout had a few new exercises in it. I collapsed mid-plank but was only down for a second. Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow. Thanks!

[@susanwright2554]

Hi Jules! Managed the whole minute with the plank, much better than yesterday! Really enjoyed the variety of exercises today, thank you 😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for the feedback, Susan and congrats on the 1 minute plank!!!

[@mole2410]

I have downloaded your many videos and with weather usually to cold to go for a walk I feel like I can keep up an exercise routine that is very beneficial to my health. Thank you for your concern for the older generation.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm glad to read that you are finding alternative ways to exercise during the colder months. Thanks for joining me!

[@marie-theresehayes6875]

I really enjoyed this one today. I felt so much stronger in the plank. My brother was watching me yesterday and he corrected my position which made it so much better. The lunges are challenging but I managed them. Really feeling the benefits of these workouts. A day behind as usual but will definitely finish the week. Feeling energised and motivated at the moment so hoping the feeling lasts. x

[@ImprovedHealth]

It's great to hear your form got corrected...it's definitely tough to sense if it's right without a mirror (myself included). I'm so glad to read about the improvements you're seeing in strength.

[@allysonewart6643]

Off to a jolly happy start as I did 70d dance cardio first and I honestly was singing along, as you kindly put words up as well..an added bonus. Just love your choice music here. Then day 23 with a naughty 60 seconds plank. I did it yipppeee.....2 more days to go and that's it done. Cannot believe I've done this. It speaks volumes about Jules....the fact people stick to it shows how amazing you are. I know now what I want from exercise and it's a great feeling when you find The One...💖. My hero ❤️

Lol, oh my gosh, Allyson. You have put a massive smile on my face. Thank you for that! 💖❤️💖

I like doing the plank first thing,I didn't struggle as much on the lunges,so that pleased me,thanks for another enjoyable and beneficial workout

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for that feedback, Stacy. I think a lot of people agree with you:)

[@loonielaura]

Day 23 done and in the books. The legs and glutes are feeling this. The plank had me dropping to my knees at 45 seconds but got back up to finish at 65. Thanks for the extra stretch today.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Congrats for managing to get the knees up again to finish the time with the plank! That's perfect.

[@MiraMate]

[@malamaurer4043]

This was an awesome workout. They all are but this one really felt like a total body workout! I love your floor work and those squats with the front raises ...😳 Those were tough. And I was grateful that the 1 minute plank came first otherwise I wouldn't have gotten through it. I still don't know how you can keep your voice so calm 😂 Excellent workout!! I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day Jules!! See you tomorrow 🌈☕🌈

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Mala:) I ended up editing this video and took the squats with front raises out. I was afraid people would use too heavy of a weight for that exercise. I wanted to add in another exercise but it meant deleting the whole video and I see people are currently working out to the video. My voice might not sound so calm now! Lol. It's all good:)

I really enjoyed all of the different moves today, but I only made it to 57 seconds on the plank (I plan to try it again later today). Even the pulsing squats were good today! There is such a change in my strength; It's amazing! Thanks Jules!

[@ImprovedHealth]

57 seconds is amazing!!! I love that you are seeing a positive change.

[@debbie7771]

Can’t wait to do this later. Super cute outfit.

Thanks! Picked it up with the Black Friday sales:)

[@lucius10]

I like to do the lunge (step forward) They improve motor coordination and stability, balance. They work many muscles, e.g. glutes, thighs, calves, back muscles, abdominal muscles. We have to do them even if someone doesn't like them! I also liked squats with weights and leg raises also with weights. I also held weights when climbing on my toes. With your exercises time passes in no time. Thanks, Jules, for the workout.💛

@@ImprovedHealth On the clock this morning so chose this video to get a lot of bennies in a short amount of time. Having done it before, and being more familiar with the moves, I wanted to compliment you on A) your verbal coaching during the plank -- all the reminders really helped make it more effective; and B) your ability to talk through the plank -- let alone so coherently!

[@janepotero-motto3566]

Not my favorite day, but an awesome workout. I still can only get my plank to 35-40 sec. tops - but that’s OK. I’m assuming once I finish this work and I could start from Day 1 all over again

[@ImprovedHealth]

35-40 seconds is great, Jane! That'll improve over time. Consistency is everything and with doing this regularly you will definitely get stronger and be able to hold the plank longer. If you look at the description under day 25, I have written suggestions for how to continue. I also wrote a blog post about it on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I hope that helps!

[@janesmith-stage4755]

See you tomorrow

❤ loved this as usual. what exercises do you recommend for a anterior pelvic tilt?

[@ImprovedHealth]

I think it would be worth checking in with a physical therapist for that question:)

[@SheriAnne0711]

Enjoyed doing this workout today. I have one knee that makes all kinds of strange creaky sounds when doing lunges and squats. Hopefully those will go away with more exercise..? Ty.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Mine do as well some days. I've discussed this topic with physiotherapy friends and they've said it's important to keep doing lunges and squats if you can since it's so important to strengthen the muscles around the knees. But, if you have concerns, you can definitely make an appointment with a physiotherapist/physical therapist to confirm there aren't any issues around the movements for you. I hope that helps!

[@SheriAnne0711]

[@the.ditch.pickles]

Doing exercises to build muscle to increase your metabolism is very important, because after the age of 60 your metabolism decreases 1% every year…yikes!

That's the great thing about strength training...definitely helps.

Hi Jules, all your new videos are played on the floor which aren’t suitable for many people.. thanks

Hi! In the beginning of the series I provide modifications so people can choose to do them in a chair or on the wall. The exercises can definitely be modified to work that way. I’ll be done this series on Friday and back to standing or seated:)
