FULL BODY 15 Minute Workout For Men Over 60 (AT HOME WORKOUT!)

[@dougswain672]

I just turned 61 in 2023 and have been putting off heavy workouts for years but used to be pretty built from high school into my 20s and 30s, hit the gym throughout the years. I always try to stay active by hiking and walking and playing music, But I finally jumped on the scale after a long time and realize oh my God what happened I found some of your videos and I am starting to work out and I have a new positive outlook and a new destiny to get rid of that gut forever. Thank you so much.

[@ronnieliggett8869]

Have coached for years and am over 60.... this is solid workout. Well done! Will incorporate into some of my routine. Again --- well done!

[@jamesedwards3266]

Went on the scales yesterday and wasn't happy, 260 pounds. I'm 62 years old from Wales in the UK. Former Rugby player. I've just asked to join your Facebook group. I'm going to give this a real go. Thank you.

[@reconquistaahead1602]

God bless.

[@vincentdesiano4861]

I was a good athlete growing up, was on 3 sports teams in HS and played ball under the lamp posts in the streets in South Brooklyn. As a senior, all of that is behind me. I still do my walking, but even that has tailed off. I’m going to give your dumbbell routine a try and see how it goes. I used to go to the gym not too many years ago. Perhaps it’s time to get going. I needed this wake up call. Wish me luck, and thanks for this very fine video!

[@josephmango4628]

Good luck, James. I'm 62 and have been going to our gym at work for several months. I'm seeing a difference and feel good. Don't get discouraged.

[@fuz4623]

1. Gobbet squat 2. Bench press 3. Curls 4. Shoulder press or flies 5. Bicycle cross crunch 6. Tricep press (skull crusher) 7. Bend over rows.

I’m going to be 50 in 2024 Starting keto and IF on 1/1/24. Hope to get under 200lbs, or lose 75-80lbs total. I will try to incorporate some/all of these exercises in my new routine/lifestyle Thanks for the helpful tips! 😊

[@malmccracken7880]

Hi Mark , I’m 70 this year haven’t trained for ages due to COVID and shoulder injury. Just saw your video and I’m now inspired to get back into training. Thanks for getting rid of my apathy and getting me back into exercise. I love the fact that you can work at your own level and you don’t have to go to the gym. Thanks. 9:47 Australian Eastcoast time.

[@dennisb7930]

I’m 67 did this first workout 2 mornings ago been long time since I worked out lost muscle n depressing how weak I got on some of these exercises but I’m going to stick with it Thanks mark!

[@Chiroman527]

I'm 72 and in the Same Boat. I stopped working out with weights in 2016 after getting a Superficial Vein Thrombosis. To be honest, I was slowing down the workouts earlier. I didn't start to workout until 1996 at 45 years old. Over that course of time, I went from 0 to a 5 (?) in the 1st 6-9 months. I could feel it and see it in my body. Then Plateaus were hit and progress slowed. But I worked out at Home (Bench, Weights, Universal, barbells & Dumbells) all those years. I suffer with Spinal Arthritis which has erupted big time since about 2012. But I perservered with the workouts. I languished with the workouts since 2016 and in the past 6 months or so, started to re-commence with weights and some aerobics too. I'm trying to Get Thru the Arthritic chronic pains and stiffness (which erupted into Fibromyalgia - muscle and joint pains body wide), taking numerous Supplements to try to curtail the progression and started the light workouts. I'm going to try this recommended Circuit (which is right out of the Training Bible) with light Weights. Good Luck to You!!

[@gergemall]

Do it and keep getting healthier.

[@Marty1857]

As we get older, our bodies start to disintegrate faster w/o regular exercise. I'm 61 and retired. I have been fairly sedentary for the past few years. I have found myself struggling to lift and move items in my garage that I had no problems hefting around when I was 58!! It happens to everyone, I guess, but I was surprised. (I said "struggling"... I actually could NOT lift a couple of the bigger items!) I am slowly getting some of my strength back; I hope you don't give up and keep exercising regularly. We'll never be where we were in our 20's, but we can be MUCH stronger and healthier than we are now.

[@TheYamahog12]

@@Marty1857At 62 I still lift several times a week and, except for a hiatus for my shoulder replacement, I’ve never stopped. Still I find that I have lost just overall strength I once had. If I didn’t workout I think I’d be weak as a kitten!

Good one Mark... I'm 80 and got back in to training in association with Knee surgery. I'm doing more leg exercises and have a bench, but I use dumbbells, ankle weights, and elastic bands. Your routine covers most of the muscle groups.. A very good quick routine to stay in shape. Thanks, Eddie

[@hobbs7ly]

wow thank you so much this is the best video i've watched yet regarding exercise for my age group ,i'm 63 this year simple exercises explained well and by someone older ,thank you so much a great inspiration

[@peterrichards1448]

Fully stocked bar to enjoy after work out I’m in with this concept.

[@Huey4214]

Kudos on the great workout! I was doing a workout of my own design for over a year and hated it and the results were not evident. Adopted your routine outlined here and added a little to it Upped the reps as I could and added 125 reps with a ab wheel and upped the cycle cross crunches to 125 reps also. I love it and it only takes me 20-25 minutes a day. After Two months of this workout daily the results are starting to show. The only other exercise I get are daily walks from 3-6 miles a day. I feel like I am getting all the exercise I need and look forward to this workout every morning! Thank you.

[@Turf1able]

I just found you yesterday. I LOVE your videos! I am 62. Thank you!!!

[@tablameister]

Excellent video - thanks for putting it together. I combine the squat and overhead press - hold the weights above the shoulders, squat, come back to standing, extend weights above shoulder, bring them back down.

[@robertstover4665]

turned 60 in July. In the gym off and on since i joined the Army at 18. Have to say that my muscle gains are very difficult and require HIIT level intensity.... changing the workout constantly is important since our bodies are designed to adapt QUICKLY!

I recently had bariatric surgery and have lost 80+ pounds so far. Followed this workout today for the first time to get myself started. Thanks for the video!

Soon going 40 just bought my first ever set of dumbbells and a bench. I already did my workout Today but this looks geat I'm gonna do it!

[@riccardo50001]

We started again today! I started to burn my knee when I started before on the stationary bike so I stopped at all begrudgingly, I have now created a chart of data or whatever workouts and I hope I can improve my 6 foot 6 bent over stature too Even though I'm 79 years old. Fortunately, a bunch of years ago a lifter took me aside and taught me quite a few exercises so the weight doesn't bother me too much

[@theorowe3626]

Excellent, really great for us oldies. Thank you.

[@bc-guy852]

First time viewer. I hit play on this as I'm cooking - background stuff... An easy Like, Subscribe, Notifications and a comment for the creators.. BRILLIANT! I have not looked at your 'about' or read comments as I usually do before subscribing but looking at you - and watcing you DO the workout (first set) has me absolutely sold! Thank you so much. I will be returning. I'm late 60's have always been healthy and had work-muscle but wasn't in 'good shape'. Six years ago I lost my home, made a big RV work out but got depressed and lost a lot of mobility and range of motion. I've had an IBD condition 30+ years but my health dramatically improved when I discovered I am highly gluten intollerant. I lost 35 lbs without trying once I stopped poisoning myself. But I did fall into a rut and thanks to this episode - I'm going to fix that. So - thank you in advance! I've seen a bunch of videos from B&B but their routines and exercises seem way too lame - - and, their primary focus seems to be shilling product... Thanks!

[@mikewatkins1725]

Thank you for all the detailed insight. That must be hard work, and a work of love. 😊

[@davidmastel5652]

I am 70 and trying to work out, I have run a good portion of my life and realize that is to hard on my body anymore and I believe it is counter productive to get that out of breath for a little over an hour. I was running 3-4 times a week so 22.5 -30 miles in an hour to an to 70 minutes going 7.5 miles. My knees just can't take it anymore. I liked what I saw....thank you! Dave

[@morrisboris6877]

For people 60+, physio/physical therapists recommend suspension training. It is easier on the joints, plus you develop balance.

[@jfdomega7938]

This was great. Knew all this stuff but it's good to be reminded how to avoid injury! So easy to hurt yourself when older!

66 next month, and this is the workout I need. Being a runner, I'm in decent cardiovascular shape, but no ass and scrawny arms, and know with each passing year it will be tougher to maintain/gain muscle mass. Thanks for all you do.

[@bamboomike4295]

I am 59 and this is an awesome option, as I am still working out like I did when I started 12 years ago, and just want to maintain what I currently have. Thanks!

[@LiveAnabolic]

That is awesome to hear. Keep up the great work!

[@williampapadopoulos8145]

Would you suggest a muscle warmup exercise prior to doing these weight lifting circuits, like perhaps jumping jacks, just to get the blood moving throughout the body and especially to the muscle groups? I have heard that working out cold can lead to injuries. I do love how you explain everything through this short circuit workout…the length of rest and what it should be like, the proper form through the movements…you don’t leave much of anything open or left to questions!

[@morrisboris6877]

Looks like you know more than he does. Not warming up will definitely lead to injuries. You also need to stretch/foam roll afterwards

[@richthomann8405]

As a 73 year old college and pro football player I’ve been using only band workouts but after giving this a try it will become incorporated in my workouts. I got away from weights but band just don’t fatigue the muscle the way free weight do! I’m remembering that feeling after completing the 2nd circuit!

This is fantastic! Thanks so much for the leadership.

Great workout Mark! I just worked through it and feel great about it. How many days per week it should be done? Thanks Mark.

[@gerhardferreira8205]

Thank you, I can associate with these 7 exercises to add to my walking and cycling routine! I have been overweight at 94,5kg, visit a dietitian for the past two years and my weight is now 77,4kg. However my muscle mass has also decreased so hopefully with an increase in protein intake together with these exercises I hope to start having an increase in my skeletal muscle mass, me now 66 years old, and height 179cm.

[@charlesjackson3433]

Mark, I'm 72. Been doing this workout 3 days a week & cardio the other 3 w/1 day off. Great workout. I'm surprised at how much this taxes the muscles and the respiration.

[@christopherbarker181]

How do you motivate yourself to want to do these; at 72 the motivation is not easy. I'm not in bad shape for my age but my weight over the last few years has gone from 6'4" 190 to 6'4" 167 - 170:( I know I've lost so much muscle mass and that is the reason) I go to the doctor regularly and all my blood work other than a slightly higher than desired HDL/LDL is in the normal range. This is a great channel and thank you so much for the clear instruction.

[@andrewsandoval1231]

[@Byepolarchaos]

That’s the old school mentality feeling the muscle contract bringing back the muscle memory and feeling the progress going forward it’s something I’ve always believed in and after I finish playing competitive sports I got away from Whit Room. I’m going back into it today.

[@doyleaudio]

Hey Mark, Thank you for helping all of us. Have you ever thought you might be saving someone's life? Or a lot of people's lives? Not feeling the workout video's with other channels, so I'm super Jazzed as I am sure other older fella's like myself are to have found your channel. Now 65 so here's my deal. NEVER worked out. Worked in a wood shop and moved a lot of equipment around. Sheets of wood. Heavy speakers. But never any consistent weekly work out ever. What you just showed me, was something I believe I can do. So I want to tell you. I'm in! I'm committed to your facebook and work out. I'm going to hang out with you and "a bunch of nice guys". Everyone should at least pay you a thumbs up and subscribe. Most importantly to myself is that you really do seem to be a decent guy, that's sharing your path of good health with others. Again, thank you for helping all of us.

[@rmcalhoun4543]

I'm 60 and retiring this month. Been a delivery driver for 30 years so I'm in decent shape from the lifting and walking but have noticed that its easier to pull something when lifting something heavy 0:03 . Im definitely not advanced but I noticed that I could easily do more reps so I need heavier weight for most of the exercises. Gonna try to get a jump on it. I don't want to be a couch potato when I retire.

[@russelldavis8415]

Used to do lots of weight training years ago, gave that up for simple push ups. leg work is a compound exercise of squat+heel raise. with or without weight. (backpack with 2lt water bottles X4.)

[@Jojo-CY]

49 year old male here. I am a person that used to live at the gym. I do all these exercises. I recommend them all with 1 exception and that is the skullcrushers for the triceps. These do work great but picking the wrong weights on this can give you tennis elbow quickly. Stay away from skullcrushers or go absurdly light doing this exercise. Good luck.

[@Chiroman527]

I would add watch the bench presses too. I'm 72 with Spinal Ailments aplenty including Stenosis , and Arthritis in the vertebrae and facet joints. I'm now trying to re-commence weight lifting in this recommended mode in light circuits. I only started to workout in 1996 , at 45 yo. Other than doing occassional running before that, I was in poor shape with muscle tone. But as I progressed back then ( once you past DOMS in the first few weeks of training), i steadily increased the weights. i trained both at a "Y " and then at home as I aquired equipment. Then I started to Overtrain and increased the weights on the bench with Barbells and Dumbells, that's when i hurt my right shoulder which has not been the same for 20 years. Last tip, Take care of your Neck !! Support it properly .

[@jamest681]

You also put your tricep tendons at risk for strain or tear.

[@GT-on2vh]

This happened to me. So painful.

[@morrisboris6877]

You should do suspension training instead. It's highly recommended by physical therapists

At 71, I do the same workout with loop bands (not the bands Mark uses) and get the same or better workout. If you have injuries bands are better. Plus bands can be carried with you anywhere and you can workout anywhere. If you want to take it a higher level, you can do specific chest, back, arms, shoulders and leg workouts which are much better than us in weights. By the way, specifically shoulder exercises with bands are way better. After a lifetime of using dumbbells, I am now totally sold on bands.
