In this workout, we are going through some great seated resistance movements using 5lbs dumbells.
Using dumbells or any kind of weight is a great way to work your muscles and build strength. You don’t need to use very heavy weights to achieve this.
If you don’t have weights you can substitute using water bottles or cans of soup. Anything that can add a small amount of resistance will help you get more out of your workouts!
This workout is seated all the way through so you can stay comfortable and move at your own pace.
Remember to always keep your water close and take breaks whenever you need to. Always only do motions that you are comfortable with and never force anything that causes pain or discomfort.
Have a great workout!
Team Meredith

I was so sad when our gym closed because of the shutdown. It was such an important part of my life and there were other old people like me with whom I always looked forward to working out. My niece in America recommended your workout video and I am so happy. I have only just started and I do this one twice every morning. I haven't missed a day since December 15th. After I get this one so it goes well (correct breathing is a challenge because I never learned it) I plan to branch into your other videos. And thank you for smiling at just the right times. I know you can't see any of us but it feels like you. are giving us encouragement. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Brenda! Thank you so much for the comment! I am so very happy that your niece recommended our channel and you are enjoying this workout:) I do look forward to you trying more soon, and add to your routine. Maybe try this Posture, Balance, and Stretch routine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqvYYaF_oKx8bsU&feature=emb_logo And this low impact cardio(if standing is okay): kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7diIWrgrVsgpo&feature=emb_logo And I am giving you encouragement, we are always here for you whenever you need!! Keep up the great work and I look forward to hearing from you soon! Take care, Meredith

[@shamimakhatun677]

You are a blessing to my mom. I was searching for strength training videos for my mum ,she is a heart patient with low immunity and excessive fat in her body . Her knee pain is also high. I was worried that how would I start her workout plan.but I find your channel and its a blessing. Can I start her workout using 3kg dumbbell?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hello Shamima! I am glad you found the channel for your mom! I think 3kg is a little heavy to start. Maybe lighter unless she has been lifting that weight. I recommend 1-2lbs to start, even small water bottles are sufficient. Please keep me posted on how she is doing! Take care, Meredith

[@shamimakhatun677]

Thanks for quick reply ! Hoping this workout will help my mom to lose some fat! I am also including your resistance tube workout in her regime!

[@cotter9751]

This was very welcome ... i'm back doing indoor exercise as the weather has grown cool and wet, and the daylight has grown very short. I bet I'll feel this one - the outdoor exercise works the bod differently then these planned and thoughtful routines! Thank you.

I’m grateful for you enjoying them, thank you!

Great job! Want to do this with my seniors group.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Ralph!

[@Suite.Nirvana]

I’ve been enjoying your resistance band exercises. I’d love to see a segment focusing on just upper or just lower body work.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Cheryl! That is a great comment and idea...I will put it on the list of workouts to put together and film:) Thank you!! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith

[@eleanorphillips3486]

I am 67 yrs of age. Usually walk a lot but damaged left knee. These exercises are perfect for me.Thanks I used a 1kilo weight but find it quite easy. Is it safe to exercise with a heavier dumbell?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes, safer to use heavier if you are not straining or swinging the weight to use it. Form first! Thank you Eleanor!

[@mandymine4963]

Yes, I liked this and I need it. Is this one that should be done every day?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Mandy! Thank you so much for the comment, I am so happy you enjoy the workout. I would not do a resistance training workout every day, but every other day. Do a cardio workout in between. This gives the muscles time to rest, mend, and grow. I hope this helps! Take care, Meredith

[@mandymine4963]

@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith Yes, helps tremendously! Thank you♥

[@megteal3658]

enjoy your videos but unable to do some leg/knee ones as I am waiting for knee replacement surgery on both knees (bone on bone now), maybe you could do a video for legs/knees with this problem using resistance band/weights etc which would be beneficial before surgery, thanks

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Meg! I want to thank you for watching and enjoying my videos. Also, I want to say good luck with your upcoming double knee replacement surgery. I'm sure all will go great! As for your suggestion for a new video, I think it is great! I will put it on the list to get working on very soon! Until then, my suggestion is for you to continue working hard like you are...but really concentrate on using your quadricep muscles, the thigh muscle in the front of the upper part of the leg. Really work on building that up to help protect the knee joint. Also, doing range of motion work now, and after surgery. Keeping the knee joints lubricated and working each day! Below are a couple suggestions of workouts that can be done for your knee health! Take care and stay healthy! Meredith This workout uses a looped resistance band, which is great for building up the muscles around the knee joint. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXndeHSwgbN_h6c This workout goes through seated range of motion, but really focus on the lower body leg lift and extensions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX7HYmeBn5l1fKc

@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith Thank you so much for the reply and will definitely check these videos out. Surgery has been cancelled in this "present time" so have to keep going with the physio.

[@andreawool2025]

how heavy are the weights ?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

These are 10lb dumbbells

[@kvabdulaziz]

What's the weight of the dumbbell

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

5lbs

[@annmariecroke7307]

Can you do some more exercise for the bottom, 😂 I seem to have gotten flatter with age I'm 62 I'm fit for my age I walk an hour every day and I do 2 hours dancing on Tuesday and 3 hours dancing on a Friday but I'm so flat I'd love a bit of a bubble bum 😂 I do your seated weights as I like the way you use them on the legs, and I am starting to also notice my arms take shape, Thanks I love your videos

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Annmarie! Yes, the bottom is a tough part to work seated…and the first group of muscles to atrophy. I have a standing workout you might enjoy: www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/glutes-and-lower-body-workout-for-seniors-intermediate-level-20-min/ Also I have some I am working on to record and release soon:) So be on the lookout! Take care!

What age are you calling Seniors ? This seems very light weight .

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Joseph! Thanks for the comment/question. The term Senior is quite broad. I do not put an age on it, nor do I put an age on any of my workouts. It really is the level a person is at and what they feel comfortable doing. My motto is “slow and steady”, and “listen to your body”. Some workouts are more geared towards beginners, adaptive care, rehab, etc. I hope this answers you well enough. Take care and stay well, Meredith

[@josephdennison4890]

@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith thank you for your answer . At 67 sometimes I feel like we are all treat as if we were feeble . Even though I can out lift many half my age . Often we are treated like we have one foot in a nursing home and the other in the grave. Also forgive me for being a little sensitive . ... In saying all this there are things I can use but will need to rev it up to the next notch. Such as behind the back stretch for the rhomboids. And thank you for the service you provide.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I totally understand that Joseph, that is why I like levels...many 90+ year olds I have worked with can do more than a 30 year old. Age is a number, not ability level:) I appreciate you reaching out to me! Keep up your great work! Take care, Meredith

[@josephdennison4890]

@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith thank you for what you are doing. Age only count for cheese and wine. . The sad thing , is we have for the first time a generation that will out live their children. Fitness st any age . I remembered when JFK instituted the President council on Physical fitness . It's time to do it again.. We don't have to lose a third pound of muscle a year .

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I agree! Thank you for that insight!
