Work the Entire Body | Beginner Exercises for Seniors | At Home Workout for Improved Health
This all-in-one gentle/beginner workout is created for seniors and beginners who need to start at a slower pace yet want to work the entire body. This workout includes 14 minutes of standing cardio, 8 minutes of strength exercises, 1 minute of balance exercises and 7 minutes of stretching and we'll finish with a 3 minute mindfulness breathing exercise. As always, this is low impact. Please use your judgment on when to modify exercises. If you feel a move isn't good for you, please change the exercise to a move that is more suitable for you. This workout can be made easier by sitting for the strength workouts and by using 1 lb weights (or even no weights). If you want to make it harder, pick up the pace during the fast walking periods and use 2 lb weights and remain standing during the strength portion.
