WOW... I am sooo impressed, best workout (senior or otherwise) that I have found - easy to follow, very clear what to do, and exactly the right amount of work for us seniors with some limited energy and capabilities. Made me feel like I finally have found a teacher/trainer I can stick with!!

You're welcome! I am so glad it helps!

[@cherylvardy4073]

Thank you for the free videos. This pandemic has really impacted on 60+ age group as it's been nearly 2 years of not being able to move freely within Australia especially. Due to mask wearing & other limitations in this country particularly so many of us have been sedentary and the end result is massive muscle loss & weight gain. Have done the well with dropping the excess weight but getting active again is so difficult

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Cheryl! It is difficult to get active and moving again, but you can do it! I’m here for you along the way!!🎉💕

[@aninditakanungo3800]

I love your work out . I fallow every day .❤️❤️

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Anindita! I am so happy you are enjoying the workouts on my channel!! I truly appreciate you, your support, and your hard work!! Great job! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith

[@bernicerivera771]

Hello!! I'm recovering from knee surgery so I was looking for low impact strength training and this is perfect for me! I enjoy watching your videos and I like that I can go at my own pace while you're at your own pace. I'm hoping you can put on more videos that workout your entire body. Thank you!!!!!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Bernice! I am so happy you have found the videos, and they are benefiting you especially after knee surgery. And I am very happy and proud that you go at your pace, as you ease back into working out. I am definitely working on more videos, including full-body workouts! Keep up the great work!! Take care and stay healthy! Meredith

[@debbeleigh1930]

[@shezafool2]

ps - after reading the comments. I'm 81, had a stroke a bit over a year ago. I have a therapy pool nearby where I walk on a treadmill and have an endless river coming towards me 3 days a week. I know I'm in need of resistance training. Upper body needs strengthening as well. I'm looking forward to our session with you tomorrow. :) I'll start here and work my way towards working all of your videos. Thank you.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I am so proud of you Eileen!! And I thank you for the support!

[@tomasgallegos3200]

This is so efective!! Thanks a lot,Meredith!!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you!!

[@kaitlynleehagar1148]

I'm 48 but have health issues that keep me from doing a lot of strenuous workouts. I find with these I can go slower or harder with them for how I am feeling physically that day and I still swear and burn calories.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I’m so proud of you!! No matter the age, doing what is best for you and listening to the body…keep up the great work!! I’m here for you!

[@rachelarkin2892]

This is a n excellent workout. It would be suitable for a beginner or someone more experienced. You work at your own level. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Rachel! I appreciate your comments and support! Take care, Meredith

[@jl8452]

Thanks!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you!

[@Roqjoru]

Outstanding work with the therapy bands, I use to use the bands to pump up doing competition, NPC. I became a SARescue and would swim for hours. I equated bands with swimming. I have added I too encourage ppl to be realistic with training and have pointed ppl in your direction. I found I could double the bands and even do dynamic tension hold as you executed you range of motion. Good job

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much, I’m so happy this workout is good for you! And thank you for the support!!

[@shamitamandal665]

Very useful for joint pain, thank you for this video

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

[@tomasgallegos3200]

What a great routine! Thanks!!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Tomas!! I am happy you enjoyed it!

[@robinaycock7277]

QUESTION: How often should you do these strength training exercises? Every day - every other day?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Every other day is best to give the muscles time to rebuild! Enjoy!!

[@vickyeldridge4220]

Is breathing important as to when to breathe in and out.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Just keep breathing, that is the main thing:) Exhale on the exertion is helpful but not necessary!

[@ivetanovotna7480]

I miss stretching after workout, it is necessary!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I agree:) Thank you for the comment. In earlier videos I did not include it as much, but I have in all my recent unless otherwise stated.

[@catherinelaferriere7827]

Everyone, before you begin, check your bands for cracks or tears. I got a painful snap and red mark when mine broke during the workout.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes, that is a good tip which I tell viewers about. Thank you!

[@aninditakanungo3800]

So good .❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you!!! I appreciate your comment, and I am so happy you are enjoying the workouts! Keep up the great work! Take care and stay healthy! Meredith

[@am2320LG]

I'm late to the game, but watched because this looped in my KZbin feeds. Exercises are great, but are you sitting because helpful for those unable to withstand standing while performing routine? I get the inner/outer work is best sitting, but the others could work while standing, right? We sit enough; why add more sitting?🤔👍

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes, you can stand if able:)

[@Lindahewitt-f4v]

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much! You are amazing too!!

[@lorschild]

Please slow down, our group made up of mostly lung patients in their middle to late 60s and can not keep up with you. We have to keep stopping and starting your videos. Wonderful workout but too fast for our older lung patients and those with joint pain.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate your comments. As far as the pace is concerned, the many videos I have created are for a multitude of abilities and levels. I highly recommend you viewing others to see if those are at a better pace for your group. Starting with the slower paced workouts and working up, if some can:) I also am working on new videos and content, and will address your issue with a slower paced workout...I truly hope it will help and benefit your group! Again, I respect and value your feedback! Thank you for watching! - Meredith

[@lornamurdocheaton624]

Hi Lordslady. You can slow down the video to whatever speed you like (though the sound will also slowdown so the talking might sound a bit strange). To slow the video, touch your screen, then in the top right corner you will see three dots. Touch them (or click on them with your mouse). A menu will appear and about half way down there is an option called "playback speed". Touch that and you can choose to play the video at half (0.5x) or quarter the speed (0.25x) or any other option that suits your group. The slowing down options are at the upper half of the list and the speeding up choices are towards the bottom. I hope this helps.

[@JohnDoe-wm9vx]

Fantastic and thank you I’m 81 and my wife us 76 what type of band (light strong etc) do you recommend and where can I buy them.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi! So happy you enjoy the workout! We have a link below the workout, or on our website www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com there is a link for you to purchase bands. Depending on your level with exercise, I would say a pack that has light, medium, and heavy. Then you both can trade and see what is best for you:) Keep me posted! Take care and stay healthy! Meredith

[@JohnDoe-wm9vx]

Si in los Ángeles/Pasadena where can I buy the babes and fur my she shall I look for the least stress?

[@kpgUser]

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Way to go!

[@carmenross1077]

Hey Meredith can you start inhale then exhale

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes, always do what feels best, as long as you don’t hold your breath while doing exercises.

[@antoinettejohnson6251]

I know this is an older video, so I hope you get to see my comment. It's March 2023, and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your seated workouts. Almost a year ago, I had a heart attack following a stroke six months prior. My PT introduced me to your channel at the rehab facility where I recovered after an extended hospital stay. It has been a much slower recuperation process than I'd hoped, but I made decent progress - until I got Covid over Christmas. It was a HUGE setback. I'm only just starting to feel a little more like myself. Although it's been difficult, I'm so-o-o very thankful for the gentle, slow but strengthening movements you demonstrate clearly and patiently (without any weird condescending attitude). It's like you understand my struggle with limited energy and low stamina as I am unable to participate in high intensity standing or floor exercises right now. I'm committed to improving my health prognosis for the chronic diseases I'm overcoming and determined to regain my full mobility. Your content is helping me succeed. THANKS, Meredith!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hello Antoinette! Let me start with how proud I am of you and your hard work! I’m so happy you enjoy my workouts, and please know I am always here for you! Take care, Meredith

[@greggsteward2760]

Antoinette, reading your comment, I just have to tell you that I have nothing but respect for you!!! Fighting and driving forward, keeping your eye on your goals is for me, nothing short of awesome! Truly inspirational!!! I'm SOOO glad to have read your comment!!! Thank you for the push I needed!!! Im gonna wish you nothing but success in achieving every goal you set for yourself but in my heart I have no doubt you WILL surpass all your objectives!!! Thanks again!!!

[@cardisue]

Hi Meredith. I'm 54 and have, a, serious heart condition. I'm new to resistance bands but your instructions are so easy to understand and follow. Your workouts are just the gentle exercise I need for those tired days. Keep up the good work x

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Cardisue:) Thank you for the message! I’m so happy you found the workouts, and you are enjoying my instruction and routines! I appreciate your kind words and support! You keep up the good work too! Take care, Meredith

Great work Jan! I’m proud of you!

[@lindadunn5183]

I had no idea how much of a good workout these resistance band helps you with. Now I know why so many at the gym are using it. This is being added to my morning routine thank you.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes, bands are amazing! Keep up the great work !

[@Joyceutzman]

Meredith thank you so much for your videos… I just turned 67 and during this pandemic I put on about 40 pounds… Five weeks ago I started the keto lifestyle… And I’m down 21 pounds… I ordered my resistor bands and I’m walking about 2 miles a day but your videos are perfect while I’m at work and I have some spare time. I haven’t stretched in a long time So this is perfect thank you so much

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Joyce! I am so excited for you and your new health journey. I am very proud of you!! Remember to stay positive through it all, and don't get upset with yourself if things aren't going your way...you will get back on track!! Keep up the amazing work! Thank you for the support!! Take care and stay healthy, and keep me posted!! Meredith

Are these exercises safe for people diagnosed with osteoporosis of the spine?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes they are! Great to strengthen the core, lats, and upper back to support the spine!

[@heragpify]

Seems just what I was looking for, to gradually work at muscle building. I have shoulder impingement, & bursitis that mainly affects my mobility of my R. Shoulder & arm. Have been picking up randomly exercises, on KZbin, unfortunately nothing that I could corporate as a daily workout, that would motivate me daily to pursue. Thank you.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Hera!! I am here for you!!

[@luzzyann50]

any clue how many calories this burns?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Lu! Thank you for the comment. As for calories burned, that truly depends on the individuals size, effort, band resistance, etc. I would estimate around 200-300 calories average. I hope this helps!

[@taesoonswann6326]

I m so happy this work out nice and gentle i do every othter day no problem

I’m so proud of you!! Keep up the great work!

[@frederikmichale9889]

I was looking for some exercises for my mom who is slowly getting old (60) and needs to start doing some light exercise. Thanks for the tips! She can start out with 5 minutes a day because she can do it at home (no excuses) and I believe she will build a habit. Also, your videos are nice, you are very cute and you have positive vibes, thank you for doing this.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Frederik! I am so happy you found my workouts, and they will be a good fit!! I appreciate the support, I am here for you and your mom!!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much!

[@robertwilliams2609]

Thank you so much for this Meredith. What a comprehensive workout. I am learning how to properly use the bands as I have a lifetime of using weights and many times the bands allow me to connect or “feel” the contractions of the muscles better and they seem to feel safer as well. I’ll be following this workout and any others workouts or helpful videos that you may have. It feels good to be able to transition into a new modality that just seems better for me as I approach 60. Thank you for sharing this video and for your professional help and guidance.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Way to go Robert, thank you!

[@marciajenkins819]

[@jayreaser]

My wife and I are just starting to use these bands. Not si=ure how to know which color band to get for each of us. I am using black and she has light blue. I guess after using them for an exercise we can judge from there./ This is areally good looking routine to start with. Thank you for posting this.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you Jay! So glad to hear this workout has helped both you and your wife. Here is a video we posted a few weeks ago on resistance bands if you have any questions. Thank you again! and best of luck! www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/which-resistance-bands-should-you-buy/

Thank you!!

[@CarolJoyable]

I posted on another video how much longer liked your exercises and sequence. Thanks for replying. Just found this video and like it even more! My groups are 8-30 people at several senior living communities. The age range is 75-98! Their comprehension is much slower than a younger senior population and I had a challenge getting them all to position the panda correctly! I speak slowly and make sure they can see me and how I place the band. I do think this particular sequence will be more user friendly to the advanced senior. I will be testing it today with two large groups. A question: many seniors have shoulder impingement or pain which limits their ability to take the band often to even shoulder level! Up and overhead isn’t even a consideration. What do you suggest as an alternative to still hit the intended muscles? Now I just saw raise it to your level of comfort. Any suggestions you have are appreciated! I’m really glad I found your channel. Your videos are much less complicated than numerous others I’ve saved. Thank you!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much for watching Carol! and for trying out the workouts and movements with your groups. Please let me know how they liked it, and how it worked for them. And any suggestions you have, I would love to hear any feedback :) As far as your question is concerned...I too rarely do any overhead movements. Side raises no higher than shoulder level, but enough to get contraction in the shoulder muscles is my suggestion. Also, upright rows, again, even if range of motion is smaller but the shoulder muscles are being utilized...that is what we are looking for. I hope that helps....and please let me know how it works out for your classes! Take care!! - Meredith

[@katerinapapadopoulou3219]

I'm really grateful for your videos. After a total knee replacement surgery six months ago and at home mostly because of the Covid pandemic, I had difficulty in finding a workout for the whole body that I could follow till the end. Now I can do almost everything and I keep feeling better and stronger day after day. Thank you, you're a great instructor and an amazing person!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Katerina! I am truly grateful for your support, and your kind words! I am also so proud of you for finding a workout, sticking with it, and getting stronger every day! Way to go, and don’t forget I am here for you 💖☺️

[@wholearmor]

I'm so glad I found your video, Meredith. I am a big proponent of resistance band training. That's all I do now after using weights for many years. Your routine in this video is PERFECT for my 89-year-old mom who wants to exercise at home. I am ordering her two sets of your recommended TheraBands so she can have one set untied, and another set tied. And, of course, I'm going to share your video with her. I'll let you know how she likes it. I'm sure she will!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Scott! What a wonderful comment, thank you so very much! I am so very happy you found the channel and the resistance bands workouts. I do believe they will be great for your mom:) I really look forward to hearing back to how she likes them...it is very exciting for her! I am very proud of her for trying my workout, and I am proud of you for helping her! Take care and stay healthy, you both! Meredith

Hello Meredith, hope you and yours are well... Still hanging in there especially being 80 and with more restrictions here in Toronto its great to be able to have you guiding me and a few of my neighbours ( not together) through these exercises, love the fact how you constantly remind me to inhale exhale, being so used to not deep breathing correctly I am amazed how I am learning how to do this as well Be Safe Be Well!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Neil!! I am so happy you have found the channel, and your neighbor's there in beautiful Toronto are doing the workouts too :) It makes me so very happy that we can help in some way during these difficult times! Also, I love the comment that the guided breathing is helping you...it is so very important and usually forgotten. Very happy to hear that the reminders are helping and you are learning:) Again, thank you Neil for watching and participating! Continue to keep moving...and stay happy and stay healthy! Take care!

Good workout. I appreciate seated because I have 2 replaced knees and I can get a good workout this way. Thank you!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi! I am so happy you found the channel and the seated workouts are great for you right now. I have many low impact cardio, and even the posture balance & stretch that can benefit your knees by helping to strengthen all the muscles around the knee. Let me know how you progress! Take care and stay well, Meredith

[@rosemarie9991]

Do you have a good exercise for the upper inner thighs?0

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

The air ball workouts are great for the inner thighs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYDJqIqEqadkbLM Standing pilates is also great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3nFlYqXipKlea8 I hope you enjoy these!

Hi, I’m an 80 year old with limited movement in each shoulder through RA. I’ve tried several from the Sunflower Channel & the Christie Chanel videos, which are good, but I wanted something different so I’ll follow this video tomorrow. I’ve got a red band is that ok.?

[@savtachava]

Thank you so much for this video! Perfect for my Alzheimer's & wheelchair-bound seniors at the facility where I work every morning with them!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

That is wonderful Chava!! I’m so happy you enjoy and are able to use my workouts! Tell all the participants Hi from me!!

[@savtachava]

@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith I will! I work at a facility at the shores of the one and only lake we have in Israel. Isn't it exciting how far away your teaching videos make a difference? I think you are in Canada, right?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

That is amazing!! I’m in Arizona actually! It truly inspires me knowing the difference we make, and how far it can reach!! Thank you for the support!

[@dianebell3653]

Once upon a time I was young and doing high impact aerobics. I blinked and here I am now. Where the heck did that time go?! Thank you for this.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I agree, time goes so fast! Keep up the great work!

[@maureencorcoran7455]

Hi I’ve just discovered your video. I agree with the posts but I have a red long band is this colour ok.I’ll soon find out , no doubt. ! I’m an 80 year old lady with limited movement in both shoulders due to RA. It looks like I’ll switch to your video tomorrow. I’ve been using the chair exercises in the Sunflower Site and the Christi Site via You Tube.! Which were very good but I need something different !

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Maureen! I thank you for the comment! Try the red and see how it feels. If it’s too heavy, do less reps. And watch your shoulders...side raises, upright rows, rotator cuff exercises limit in repetition please. Always listen to your body! Enjoy! Take care, Meredith

[@anu1956]

Wonderful ! I have Sacroiliitis hence have bilateral sciatica and also can't control my lower body well while walking and fall easily.If you can make a video for patients like me.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I will work on that Anu, thank you!!

[@julieannsmith9722]

Hi, I am new to resistant bands apart from PT for my ankle. I wanted to start some resistance exercise for strengthening and fat burn, would this be enough for me? Thankyou.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

This is a great start Julieann! Keep me posted on your progress! Take care!

[@antoinettefarrior6128]

I just did this workout. I'm 50 and obese and I finally found a resistance program that I can complete. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this workout!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Great job! I am so proud of you! I am here for you, you can do it!
