Low Impact Cardio & Strength Workout for Seniors // Osteoporosis Friendly

This Workout begins with a standing warmup and cardio section. All movements are low impact and easy on your joints! It is also osteoporosis friendly because there are no bending, rounding of the spine or twisting movements. Additionally, it includes bone density building strength exercises.
After the heart rate increasing cardio section, we move to a blank wall space for some wall assisted knee bends, calf raises and push ups.
Note: the further you feet are away from the wall, the more challenging the push up will be.
Finally, we conclude the workout in a seated position using a sturdy chair. Grab your light weights/dumbbells (or water bottles, soup cans etc...) for some arm, shoulder and upper back strengthening exercises. Make sure to stay for the seated stretches.
This workout is great for anyone who is looking to increase their overall fitness level. It's completed at a manageable pace. Please do not attempt to do any of the movements if you are not comfortable with them. Should you have any questions regarding your ability please check with your doctor first.

Benefits of the workout include:
Joint friendly
Build your bone strength
increase your cardio health
increase your arm strength
work on balance
have better posture
workout at home
osteoporosis friendly- no bending, twisting or rounding the spine
feel better!
As always, Thank you for working out with me!

I'm 21 (probably your youngest subscriber lol) I've recently restarted my fitness journey but this time I understand that I am aiming to make this a lifestyle & not a week long endeavor. Through doing your workouts, I have learned that I don't need to almost pass out after a workout for it to be effective. It pushed me to start doing low impact workouts as my regular type of exercise level. I know some people might say that it isn't challenging enough based on my age but I've been happier, eating healthier and actually looking forward to moving my body in the morning. For example, today I woke up to heavy gray clouds and rain but here I am in my cute workout outfit, ready to move! Long story short, thank you for the videos miss 💖

Love this workout Lauren! Thank you for changing things up all the time! Love all your videos and content! ❤❤❤

You are freaking amazing. I have been doing your workouts for just over 4 weeks. I started off with your 10 min workouts. They have totally changed my life & my views on fitness. I only regret is that I don't know more people to introduce them to your videos. I love all your reminders about posture & abs. I can see & feel the difference in my body. I am no longer addicted to the scale. Thank you so much.

I'm 67 years old, and I love this workout! I have osteoporosis, and you know what exercises to do for posture and bone strength. Thank you so much!

I'm so glad I found your channel. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and it seems not very many exercise coaches on YouTube take that into account so good on you :)

[clarasohn]

Thank you for another wonderful osteoporosis friendly workout!! Hope to see more of these. 💕

This was perfect for me this morning. Wall pushups actually feel more strengthening than floor ones.

[shondaet]

That was a good workout. I went walking for 2-3 miles the day before, so this was a good one to do the day after.

[sperles]

i love the pace of your instruction and your calming presence. Thank you!

[patticolwell]

After every workout I think "This is my favorite" But today is REALLY my favorite. :) It will be on repeat.

[leciablackmon]

Great workouts. I have shared your channel with friends. I found your channel during Covid when the gyms were closed and I still wanted to workout. I appreciate that you have a variety and the workouts are reasonable.😊

[leeoconnor]

Really enjoyed this workout, more like this please! Thank you for all you do. God bless you with much success in helping others take care of their bodies.

[stacischeetz]

I love cardio + strength!! Two-for-one and what a punch! I did it with 8 lb weights AND one 10 lb at the end!! Strong for spring!! 💪💪💪

[надеждакороткова-ъп]

I was browsing through playlists and found simple cardio. Simple movements performed repeatedly bring very great benefits. And I also realized that even without performing special exercises, my balance has greatly improved. Thank you so much Lauren for a great workout!

[heatherresnick]

Thank you for an easy to follow but efficient workout. I like combining cardio and strength.

[carolebourgon]

Great workout! Your voice is soft. Music smooth. Love when you remind us our postures during the workout. Your encouraging are welcome. ❤

[donnagillum]

Excellent! I agree with Rivka….I enjoy your workouts and I’m never disappointed. And thanks for focusing on osteoporosis exercises.
