Senior Fitness - Standing Resistance Bands Workout

Welcome to another workout session! This time we are using resistance bands in a standing position.
Just of note, you don’t have to use resistance bands for this workout, just following the movements will give you the benefits of this workout as well as well.
If you do have resistance bands then that works too! Using any kind of resistance like small weights or even water bottles is a great way to build muscle and strengthen areas of your body that may not get as much use as you’d like.
This particular workout utilizes a standing position that engages your core areas (abdomen, lower back etc) which is something we use most everyday.
It is designed to not only strengthen but build balance up as well. Working your upper and lower leg areas to help you gain better balance when walking or even climbing stairs.
As always, remember to go at your own pace, only do the movements that you feel comfortable with including your balance and never risk movements that cause pain or discomfort.
Remember to drink lots of water and have a great workout!

[@annmariemuglia7786]

Sometimes when I’m doing this exercise the left side of my neck muscle hurts,Am I doing something wrong?

[@Lwoman50]

I have been enjoying all of your videos. I do each night alternating weight and resistance. I just got my ball yesterday. I can already see and feel improvement. Thank you so much

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Way to go!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@christinecaronnabeard1369]

I’ve been doing your videos, Meredith, for about three weeks and I feel so much better. I’m sure I will get better and better. I didn’t realize how bad my muscle tone was prior to doing your videos. Thank you so very much!!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

That makes me so happy to hear Christine! Great job sticking with the workouts and doing what feels best for you!! I am so proud of you!! I am here for you!!☺️

[@stevenseltzer986]

Love the variety in your workouts. Never a dull moment! Just found your resistance bands workout and look forward to tomorrow!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Enjoy!!

[@ohiovalski]

Love all of your resistance band routines. Your exercises are just as good as any of these young folk grunt routines. I'm 61 and love doing strength based workouts. Also these exercises do the job but are somewhat gentle as well. Thank you!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Valerie! I truly appreciate your support, and I am so happy you are enjoying the workouts!

[@Skinnychelle48]

Me too! 60 here!

[@ednabournes3634]

Thank you, I’ve been watching and working out with you on KZbin

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Edna!!

[@Mayaman67]

Great pace and workout. I find a lot of workouts online too vigorous and then I look for senior ones and they assume you're almost dead. This one , as Goldilocks would say, is just right.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Keith! I appreciate the comment and I agree! I am so happy you found my channel and you enjoy my workouts! Take care!

[@murielseo5094]

Good workout! Look forward to your new videos each week. It works. I can feel myself getting stronger.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Mary! So glad these workouts are helpful for you and we're so glad to have you! Take care! - Meredith

[@jimgag2]

Great workout . You make it easy to follow. After one week I was able to increase the resistance of the band.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

That is so great to hear!! Keep up the amazing work!! Take care, Meredith

[@brucegraham4142]

Thank you Meredith! Great workout! Stayed with you all the way through this one. I decided to "take a step back" from the intermediate standing resistance band workout and focus on "correctness" of all components to each stretch ("tunny tight", core, vertical spine, balance, shoulders, inhaling and exhaling and 'slow' motions). Will continue with this routine until I have all aspects "perfect" and then will move on to next level. Great, great, leading through the process Meredith!!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Bruce, I am so proud of you!! Perfect way to do it!

[@helenesmiff7460]

Thank you from the UK! Is this beneficial for tightening and toning the core? I love your workouts ❤️❤️❤️

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Helen! Yes, it will help tighten the core also!

[@cotter9751]

Fun! I last commented a year ago - still a good workout! I found a way to add a balance disk to make it more challenging. Thanks, Meredith!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

That is great, an added safe challenge:) I’m happy you are still enjoying it, and making it your own workout! Happy New Year, All Over Strong 2022!!💖

[@frederickacerra7766]

I used to use bands to stretch before My Hockey games . O f course that was 50 years ago . I have been doing your workouts for about a month and i feel better already . Maybe i can start playing in the over 60 league lol

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

That is great Frederick! I am so proud of you!! Keep up the great work:)

[@himmsingz]

Thanks a lot. Just purchased resistance tubes. Great exercises for people like me. Very well explained!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

So glad to hear you enjoyed this workout Himmat, Thank you!

[@clc7378]

Thank You! 🙌🏼

[@kathys5176]

Wow! Previewing your workout. This looks amazing. Back in my day I liked hardcore painful exercises! Having a bad injury that lasted many months and did no exercise and being a senior citizen, a nice quality workout is what I need. My goal is resistance bands, nice and consistent. Thank you..

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Way to go Kathy, great way to think about your workouts now! I am proud of you!

[@shirleygibson-hardie3673]

Not quite a senior yet but I’m looking for low impact exercise and this looks great, I’ve ordered my bands which will arrive in 3 days😀 can’t wait to start

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

You will love it Shirley! I look forward to hearing from you again soon!! I am proud of you and your willingness to get started!! Take care, Meredith

[@lisahanson5090]

Thank you Janet! I am so happy you enjoyed the workout!! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith

[@JaneThomas58]

Thank you

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Jane!!

[@MizZinnia]

Dear Meredith, this has been very beneficial so far, thank you!! Question: what is the reason for coordinating the breath with the movements?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you! Breath and movement together are very beneficial. It helps during the exertion of a strength exercise, helping assist the movement. Also, the reminder to breathe is so important as well!:)

[@ALi-bn6bf]

Thank you!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you A Li!:)

[@sabeenassad9797]

I have glaucoma. Are these exercises safe for me?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes, very safe!

[@luvmaheshwary7679]

Is the workout safe for patient with operated varicose veins and operated hernia??

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi! This workout is safe for varicose veins, but hernia should be at you physicians discretion. I would start with my seated exercises and go to standing once healed completely. www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/resistance-band-exercises-full-body-workout/ Try this workout and see how it feels:) Let me know! Take care, Meredith
