WEIGHT TRAINING FOR WOMEN OVER 50.I teach you how in this follow along workout with dumbbells. I’m Rae from Live Yourself Young and continuing with my weight training for women over 50 series this workout is to help you learn some basic weight training exercises with dumbbells using correct form. This workout is a progression from my full body workout where we used just your own bodyweight.
WEIGHT TRAINING WOMEN OVER 50 - where to start? Join me FULL BODY WARM UP, WORKOUT & STRETCH at home. • WEIGHT TRAINING WOMEN ...
Normally when I train with weights I do 3 sets of each exercise with a rest of about 1 minute between each set. But today we have 10 exercises and we are going to do 1 set of each exercise and I want you to think quality and not quantity. It is better to achieve 5 high quality reps with correct form than doing 12 reps but losing form. You will need 2 sets of dumbbells - one heavier and one lighter. If you watched my video on which weight dumbbells you should buy as a beginner then they will be perfect.

[@susaneasley7329]

My second work out with you! I’m so enjoying it. I am 73 and trying to be able to get more strength and balance. I feel better after your sessions!!! Thank you so much

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Wonderful! I love to hear you feel better after following along with me. Keep going, consistency is key 💜

[@MsPatriciadelaGarza]

You are filling a nitch for sure. I'm 47 and I want to create a weightlifting routine that is sustainable and allows me to push/challenge myself when I feel like doing so. Your videos are exactly what I was looking for! I love the format, because you include the rests ans and I can literally follow along without pausing and rewinding.Keep these coming! 💗💗💗

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Thank you so much for your lovely words. I am delighted KZbin helped you to find me! I want to make my videos easy for anyone to follow and enjoy so it is good to know they are helpful to you 💜 🥰

[@Sunny-sy2xl]

First time working out with weights in literally years. My intention is to keep up with this consistently. Thank you for a great reintroduction!

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Thanks for sharing Sunny 💜 Amazing to hear! Consistently is one of my favourite words 🥰

[@CarisaSanders]

THANK YOU. I am down 300lbs I started at 501lbs and its been a life time journey nobody knew about high protein when I started it was very hard, it was simply good choices no internet to feed you advice and all with a very bad back. I have been determined to not stop. I have about 60 to my goal weight. I have been walking along with high protein low carb & lots of water. I'm 45. I was down to 161 and was jogging each morning and was crazy healthy but then I got pregnant with my 4 yr old and then was on bed rest with a short cervix then I gained 100lbs back. She was worth every pound. Not to mention I had already tried for 23yrs to get pregnant and she popped up once I was healthy. Now I am teaching her how to live healthy and ea healthy with me. Lately I seem to lose 10 gain 10 and the Dr. thinks it was my hormones and my age. OK, I did some age related research and turns out he may be on to something. I got tons of tests done, could be slight hormones but my periods are still regular in fact we want to have baby number 2. But I need to be in shape again before I do. So today I added weights today for the 1st time and chose this work out. I LOVED IT! I cant believe what an impact it had. My 4 yr old did it with me. I have a Tik Tok where I live my healthy natural life and I'm going to tell my followers about it. I will be doing this 3 days a week. THANK YOU !

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Oh my goodness your story made me feel very emotional 🥰 I love that your 4 year old did the workout with you! What a wonderful role model she has. There are so many factors that can affect our weight and you are doing all the right things; one thing a lot of people don't talk about is good quality sleep and having a good sleep routine. If I was you I would be asking my doctor for blood tests to check your hormones for any imbalances. 💜

[@preeti4972]

Thank you so much ...I'm of 62 ..I did this today. Feeling so good after 2 years break from my gym and weight training..loved this work out

[@eileenguerrera9731]

I recently retired and was looking for a good strength workout. This workout was just what I was looking for. Love it and will continue using this at least 3 times a week especially with the cold weather outside. Thank you for an amazing workout and love the cool down.

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

You're so welcome! How are you getting on? 💜

[@suzy1750]

Thank you for this - I know that I need to do more weight training, post-menopause, to help maintain bone quality and this video will really help.

[@linhquang4590]

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

It’s not about the number on the weight it’s about progressive overload, you need to challenge your muscles whilst using correct form. If you bicep curl 15kg but use your back and shoulders to throw the weight up you are on the way to an injury instead of building muscle and getting strong. Listen to your body and watch some of my other videos for more advice on which weights to use and how to make the most out of your weight training 💪🏼 I think you already know this 😉

[@vidabenn5517]

I am 55 and today is my first day. I love your workout. Thank you so much. God bless you.

This is what the doctor ordered. I was lkg to walk, here you are, thank you! You look amazing!!!!!

[@maryschell1688]

This was a wonderful, relaxed workout.Thank you so much. You asked about other workouts, I believe. I have been going back to the Rachel McLish workout, also on KZbin , which I started doing in the 90's .I divide it into the upper and lower segments and alternate days with one rest day a week. I use lighter weights and hope to keep increasing as i gain strength. At 66, it's important to stay strong!

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Wonderful! I feel honoured to be on your workout list with the Rachel McLish, Ms Olympia 🙏 I'm excited for your progress. 🥰

[@elshmun0791]

Glad I found you. I'm 53 and definitely needed this and its quite doable. Thanks 😊

I am embarrassed to say but I will be starting of with 1lb dumbbells and will work up to 3lb. I haven't worked out for decades so need to start very slowly.

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

No embarrassment, the best news is that you are starting. I’m excited for you 🤩💜👏🏻

I am trill to find you! You are so in shape and I loved your vibe!! I am 59 and had a few injuries and only now getting back on my feet, joined the gym again. I was an athlete and with the injuries, on both knees had to slowdown. I will be doing this sequence as often 3-4 times a week I has a few trainers and just spend money… Do you have a website for private training ❤️🙏

[@tatyanakhavinson4095]

I love this workout. I like your idea to break this out in 2: one day for the upper body and second day for the lower body. I also like your core and glute workouts. If I want to incorporate them in my routine, which workout should be added to day 1 and day 2?

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Hey thanks for your comment. Sorry for my late reply. You can add either workout to either day. You can train glutes and core several times a week. 💜

[@cbzombiequeen58]

Need multiple exercises because we want to lose weight first, I don't know what they call it but you do 3 activities in one, and it helps with a busy lifestyle.

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Hi and thanks for your comment. I believe you are talking about Giant sets which is a circuit of three or more moves for one body part performed one after another with little to no rest in between. Yes they are a good option for when you are short on time or to increase intensity but to start off with I am teaching ladies with no experience how to perform exercises safely and effectively. In my opinion the best weight loss tool you have is to walk more!

Hey thanks for the feedback. So great to hear how you would increase the difficulty of this workout! It is the perfect workout for beginners and then to increase the intensity of as they get stronger. The only thing I would disagree with is that I like to keep hydrated when I train, in my opinion this is a good tool.

[@TheReneepruitt]

This is my first video of yours I am going to try. I am 53 and I was lifting and got burn out because I didn’t see any difference after so many YEARs. I stayed the same and didn’t lose weight I need to lose 20. So I am jogging now and I love that.. but I know I need to do strength. I want to keep bone and gain a bit of muscle so I don’t lose it. My skin is looking thin and cottage cheesey lol. Can u tell me what u would recommend as a plan, if jogging and weight lifting ? I tend to not know how to balance it. I love jogging and hiking and I work that has me up on my feet 5-8 hours straight now so I should be able to fit in lifting. But I have arthritis as well. So makes it difficult to know what is sore and what is arthritis the next day. I want mobile exercise and flexibility and weight and jog so it’s a lot to fit in. Lol

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Hi Renee and welcome to my channel! I hear you and I too find it hard to fit in everything I want to do! I find it helps to have a routine but I appreciate life can get in the way. In my opinion the weight lifting should be a priority for menopausal women and I will link a video for you which you may find interesting. I lift weights every other day and if you are strict in your form and don't waste time you can get a good workout in as little as 30 minutes. Can you work out at home to save the time travelling to a gym?. Mobility is so important too so I am pleased you want to add this to your routine. I would replace the jogging with walking. Can you walk to work or even if you can only fit in a 10 minute walk after every meal every day this would be a good start. If you have arthritis in your knees you may find a static or electric bike a good choice too. I wish you all the best and your determination will win the day 💜 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHSbin5nedeKjJo

[@dkiddy66]

Hi Rae.. I'm 54 and I'm starting my journey into muscle building. My question is.. I'm 160lbs and doing a lot of cardio 5 days per wk to bring down my body fat.. At what weight should I start to bring in the weights.. My body fat ( on scales) saying I'm 40% and want to get down to 25%... I'm 5ft7 and always been athletic. Just need good advice.. Am I too old to start. 🙄😔 Thankyou Rae you inspire me😁🌟

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Hey Denise thanks for reaching out… You are never too old to start! Just check in with your doctor if you have any concerns. Forgive me if I tell you things you already know! Add in strength training asap to start building lean muscle as muscle helps you burn more calories! With strength training start slow doing workouts just using your own body weight, then as you get stronger progress to resistance bands and then dumbbells. As a beginner you can start off doing full body workouts 3 times a week with rest days in between each workout. Listen to your body to know when you are ready to progress but you do need to do progressive weight training to see results and I talk about this in my videos. You can follow my full body workouts as an easy way to start. When I was in a calorie deficit for my competition I increased my daily steps, did fasted walks every morning for my cardio, I tried to keep my daily activity high eg when I emptied the dishwasher I took one item to put away at a time! Aim for 8 hours of sleep a night and of course nutrition is key, make sure you are getting enough protein and fibre, reduce the amount of highly processed foods and drink plenty of water. Do watch my nutrition videos as I share some of my healthy eating top tips particularly good for when you have fat loss goals. 💜 I have a playlist called Fat Loss tips, here's a video to get you started kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ-pqHeYjJ6JorM Also watch my video on how weight training helps with fat loss kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHSbin5nedeKjJo

[@samanthahunter1906]

On push ups, do you keep your elbows close to your sides or out away from your sides?

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Hey Samantha! I am sorry for the late reply... You want to angle your elbows halfway between straight out and straight beside your body. So, about 45 degrees. This should help you to recruit your pec major and is a healthy angle for the shoulder too. 💜

[@kathleendonahue5955]

I broke my right arm during 2020 and I never got proper therapy for it because it was 2020 and therefore it never healed properly now I don’t have full range of motion really with either arm. Should I avoid that exercise because I couldn’t do it properly ?

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

You know your body best and should not do anything that causes you pain. It sounds like some rehab exercises with a band would be good or hanging but with an injury you will get best results by finding someone to talk to to in person… a KZbin video can’t replace personal care, so please take care.

[@gillhaywood3156]

How often should i do this workout? And if i break it down like you say how often for those? Could i do uppper body one day rest, lower body, rest and rhen the whole lot, rest?

Hi 💜 and thanks for reaching out. There are many variations to how you can schedule your workouts but the most important thing is to choose a routine that you can follow long term. How you suggest sounds perfect as you will be getting in your all important rest days. If you are happy to commit to every other day then yes do it! Let me know how you get on 😍

[@niltomega2978]

Older women need to get away from the ingrained mindset that cardio exercise is what they need to stay fit. As women AND men get older, they lose muscle mass. Running and cardio does very little to replace this. Resistance training brings back the muscle to help you look and feel great ! Another factor as we age is hormones. Live Yourself Young actually addresses Hormone Replacement Therapy which many do not. She is a smart smart girl who obviously really wants to see people feel great and get results. You should get your hormone levels checked. I'm a man, and if my testosterone is low or non-existent, then my exercise does little good. My wife uses hormone therapy and it really made a difference. Guess what ladies, women need testosterone too! #1. Get you hormone levels checked. #2. Fix what is low. #3. Start training !

Hi! Wow, thank you for your kind comment. This is the reason I started my KZbin channel, I am so pleased you are on your weight training journey. It is never too late to start 💜

Just found this follow along, your instructions are great. I'm a beginner to strength training and just joined a gym. Loving this workout so far. Gonna follow along tomorrow. I've only got 1kg dumbbells at home.

[@sandrahickey3593]

I did this today, I loved it. I'm 58 and a beginner, just use 2 x 1 Kg dumbbells as that's all I have, it's the technique that's important, straight back and engaging your core. It felt great.

Do a video on what you eat supplements maybe

[@Patricia-sq3nx]

Thank you for this voice. You look amazing btw!! Grateful for you showing us ladies over 50 how Important it is to stay strong. I couldn't do the other half of the workout because my 4 kilograms dumbbells were tooo heavy! Today was the first day for me lifting weights. But still very useful and I'll come back for more.

Can I ask have you gone through the menopause and do you take HRT?

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Hi Louise 😍 yes I have and yes I am. I am an advocate for HRT and you can hear me talk about HRT on this video.

I could see the stretch where you push into your legs would help my SI joint pain.

Thank you very comprehensive and helpful, I really enjoy your calm and relaxing manner you have inspired me to buy some weights for my birthday, and I have saved this video so I can do them on a regular basis

I recently discovered your channel, and I love it! I’m 63 yrs young, weighing 108. I began strength training in August, dedicating 45 minutes five times a week, and I've noticed a significant improvement in muscle definition. Having suffered a knee injury in my 20s, I started feeling pain in my mid-50s. Compensating for my walk led to hip pain so severe that I couldn't lift my leg to get in the car, sleep on my favorite side, or sleep at all due to the pain. Gradual decline often leads to automatic feelings of depression. After several years, I had enough and started walking, riding my bike, and incorporating light yoga. To my surprise, over time, my movements became more fluent, despite stiff joints. I introduced lots of stretching, increased walking, and longer bike rides into my routine. While I still experience some pain, it's nothing like before. Every woman should persist in feeling and looking her best, regardless of age. Thank you for being a role model for all. I can't wait to implement your workouts.

Thank you! I love how you go step by step with each workout. If we break them into upper and lower body, how many days a week do you suggest doing these workouts?

[@happychappylife4283]

Did this and its great. I am just starting and meets me where I am now. Slow steady not mad like others. Weekly I can increase weights so good. What do you recommend to do on off days. I will do this 4 times a week. Thanks

[@donnadaffy]

I love that I found you I’m 60 this year and suffer with arthritis so this routine keeps me limber and I love that you do all the reps too so we can follow you. This routine is pitched just right for girls of our age thank you xx

[@HaggisVitae]

New to your channel. I'm an over 50 and in serious need of some toning/strengthening. SO happy to find you! Just did this workout and had so much fun. It's harder for me than I thought it would be when initially watching you on my iPad. I feel it!! Excited to do this 3 times a week to get stronger. Any advice on how to keep your small dog from licking/kissing you when doing any kind of floor exercise? LOL! Anyway, thank you!!!

[@LiveYourselfYoung]

Welcome!! So great to hear you had fun working out with me. It sounds like you little dog loves you very much! 😍 Enjoy getting stronger 💜

[@susanm4103]

I’ve been following this workout for almost a year. Until I fell and broke a bone I didn’t realize the importance of weight training. Proud of myself that I have been committed and consistent working out 2-3 times per week at home , 3 sets of each exercise. It’s been great and I see the difference. I feel your support Rae. Thank you

[@jasonstocks6460]

What works for you, works for you. There are women over 50 who are more athletic than the average. Then there are some that's nothing more than a couch potatoe.

[@shesverystrong]

Being physically fit is ageless! Thank you

[@louannecdebaca2707]

Hi Ray! Thanks for a good start back I had shoulder surgery in Sept., second time and have been waiting to heal to get back into weight training. I’m 65 and enjoy golf, pickle ball but want to strengthen my body again so I don’t have injuries in the future. I really enjoyed my workout and look forward to more.

[@mysterio1570]

I love how you do the exercise and then you do voice overs, instead of doing both in real time and your out of breath.
