5 Exercises for Mobility and Strength for Lower Body | 10 minute Leg Workout for 50+

If you want to decrease knee pain, it's important to strengthen the muscles around your knees with exercises. These 5 exercises will help to build muscle to decrease knee pain and improve mobility and strength for your lower body. All of the exercises are chair assisted exercises for seniors or others who have knee pain. Grab your chair, wear shoes with very little tread, or even just socks will do. By building stronger legs, you'll support your knees and also help to prevent falls. You can do this every day or every 2nd day at home to see changes in your leg strength, and ultimately, less knee pain. With daily practice, you'll feel more stable on your feet and reduce the chance of falls. If you liked the workout, please hit the 'like' button and write a comment. All 'likes' and comments help my videos to get out there more so other people can also get in more movement and become healthier. I'd definitely appreciate it! If you're new to my channel, please subscribe! My name is Jules and I have been creating exercise videos for 3 years on my regular YT channel called 'Improved Health'. I've decided to create a second channel dedicated specifically to chair workouts (either in the chair, or standing holding onto a chair for support). I am unable to move the chair workouts from my original channel so if you would like to have some other options until I upload more, you can find the seated workouts below. I will be adding new workouts on this channel soon. 00:00 Intro 00:40 Exercises 10:15 Ending Words Gentle Level Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZBR6V2MXWI&list=PLsPoR5SimhuW4PN0SIwC5E1xa87Q9CmHV Beginner Level Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bHG-58M3I&list=PLsPoR5SimhuWMVSEUKGMLxGPLh28GSxRy Intermediate Level Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP_6WklN9PA&list=PLsPoR5SimhuUiihswpW7KxHlYEKY5HVCG If you wish to donate to help support the channel, you can donate here: Paypal: PayPal.Me/JulesImprovedHealth Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=79935482 Disclaimer: You should always consult your physician before starting any 'Improved Health Chair Workouts' fitness program or any other fitness program.

Intro STRENGTH TRAINING WORKOUT | Exercises for Seniors and Beginners | Learn the Basics

This is a complete intro beginner strength training workout created for seniors and beginners who have little-to-no experience. I explain each exercise as we go through them to ensure you understand proper form and technique. Even though I teach the exercises while standing, most of the exercises can also be followed by sitting in a chair. There will be no music in the background today since a lot of viewers have expressed they prefer no music when I am giving instructions. Please feel free to put your own music on in the background:) Please use a very light weight today to ensure you get the form and technique down pat before we start challenging our muscles more with heavier weights in future weeks. I did not include a warm-up today simply because we are using very light weights. In future videos when heavier weights are used, we will definitely have a warm-up first. Today's workout is just an intro so feel free to do a cardio workout today, too! Please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you! Wishing you improved health!
