Using some resistance during your training is a great way to maximize your energy to help you during your day to day activities.
In this session, we’re using very simple light weights (2 - 5lbs) to add some great resistance to our movements.
If you don’t have any weights around the house, substitute using bottles of water or cans of soup!
For this session, we are working in all areas of our bodies from a seated position which will help keep you focused, comfortable and relaxed.
As always only do the movements you feel comfortable with and don’t forget to drink lots of water.
Have a great workout!

As a senior in my seventies, I truly appreciate your videos. I was swimming every morning until my community center closed and I am glad to have found your videos as an alternative.

Nice! Here's one I hadn't tried. Really does lend itself well to multiple run-throughs.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Yes! I am so happy you tried it out...and hope you do it a couple times and feel how good it is:) Great job!

[@lindaj.brooks2365]

Meridith, I did 2 sets of this workout today and it was great. I have decided to do this one at least 2x a week. I used a 3 lb weight today but I’m sure I could use 5 lbs.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Linda! I am so proud of you! Great work!! And I love the enthusiasm and pushing yourself harder with the weights...keep it up, and remember I am here for you! Thank you! Take care, Team Meredith

[@sharmainelee2213]

I love it, however, I find the background booming noise quite disturbing. No music but just your lovely voice instruction would be very much appreciated. Thank you

[@nafisahammadi6857]

All your videos are excellent especially for Seniors God bless you Thank you so much ,waiting to watch video on S shape Scoliosis-full body workout Thanking you in advance

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Thank you so much Nafisa! We are coming up with new workout ideas for 2020 and really appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Thank you again and have a great holiday!

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Also wanted to add, As far as the scoliosis specific video...it is best to do core and back lengthening and strengthening exercises, which I do put in most workouts. It is hard to get into specific areas and ailments not knowing a persons limitations with it. I tend to stay quite general with the whole body being worked, and allowing each individual to go at his/her pace. I do appreciate your comments, and will keep you posted if I do a specific scoliosis video. Thank you again!! Meredith

[@darlenegarrison8079]

I walked .8 mile and then came in to do this one. I also added another set of reps for some of the exercises after because I really want to work the core. Thank you

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Great job Darlene!! Way to go:) Keep it up!! Take care, Meredith

great videos, very informative and educative. can older adults (not yet senior) do this exercise but with more weight added?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Of course! Thank you for the question:) Yes, these workouts can be for all levels and ages just depends on how intense you make them. I appreciate your support Paskalis!

On your curls ,turn your wrist out for better bicep stimulation

Good Morning, Meredith my name is Nakita Thomas I was wondering if you can do some exercises for Dis Degeneration I found some exercises on KZbin, but it's hard for me to do floor exercises, so doing your exercises in a chair is easy for me. ❤

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hello Nakita! Thank you for the comment! Yes, I have that on my list to do some workouts for disc degeneration, etc, so be on the lookout…all seated:) Have a great day!

[@marlenaeaster5145]

Hello can you incorporate something for severe fibromyalgia pain sufferers

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Marlena! Thank you for the comment! I have actually worked with a few seniors who do suffer from diagnosed fibromyalgia. What I have learned from talking with them, and doing research to help others, is exercise is actually the key to helping. Remembering, slow and steady wins the race. Starting gradually and easing into exercise is the best way to get the body used to it, acclimated, and then feeling better. It is all about strength, stretching, and cardiovascular stamina. And always, always listening to your body and only doing what feels right on that particular day. Each day is different for everyone especially sufferers with fibromyalgia. I hope that helps, and finds you in good health! Take care and stay healthy! Meredith

It does not always need to be new to be safe and effective. Sequencing can be different, or just pace to help the viewers. Thank you for your comment.
