Senior & Beginner Workout - ONE DUMBBELL STRENGTH WORKOUT 12 minutes

All standing 12 minute workout with one weight/dumbbell or kettlebell and no repeats!

Join me for a 12 move (no repeats) 12 minute effective workout. We will perform each exercise for 50 seconds, then rest and prepare for the next exercise for 10 seconds.

I’m using a 12 pound dumbbell, definitely heavier than my usual 3 pound. Instead of performing higher reps with a lighter weight, you will go at your own pace using a heavier weight completing as many as you can within the 50 seconds. Please progress slowly, adding more weight as get more comfortable and stronger. Of course you can always do these exercises with light weights as well. A kettlebell is a great option if you have one of those as well.
Need more? I challenge you to do the video again for a second set!

Please make sure that you are warmed up before attempting this video! It’s really important that your muscles are warm to prevent any injuries and it will feel much better on your joints. Please go for a quick 10 minute walk or here is a link to my cardio 10 minute warmup:

Not a senior but I did this workout. I need something like this, light and effective to get back from not being able to workout for years!

[garlicgirl]

Not a senior or beginner but often I get tired of these super fast weight lifting classes on YouTube. Focused resistance training is what I want. Great! 😃

Ahhh! Feels so good to work with heavier weights!! Tough but good!! Thank you for the recommendation on a warm up before weights. A great way to finish off the week. I like it that your workouts don't seem a chore! Fun, light chat, and thankful that your music doesn't not overwhelm our workout♥ Thank you, Lauren!

Love all her standing workouts (I have a hard time doing floor exercises and watching a video.) She has unique ways of lifting weights. I am always fully engaged…never checking the clock. I always feel so great after a workout.

I'm short on time today, so this was absolutely perfect!

My 7th and 8th grade girls PE classes liked this workout alot and said you were a terrific instructor. Easy to follow and nothing distracting or complicated.

[gdmiller]

I’m so glad I found you. I’m 45 and I LOVE your workouts.

today marked 115 workouts with you, Lauren! I did this one as a "bonus" workout as I am ready to up my game with upper body strength building. Thank you for helping me get into the healthiest shape of my 67 years. I also want you to know that my sister is also working out with you. She recently told me that after working out with you for one week, all the pains she was experiencing are gone! thank you for your channel! ❤

Ooh!! I just found this one! It's perfect!! I am adding this to my regular rotation to see if I can get stronger. Eight pound weight today (which I could barely lift 18 months ago), 10 pounds on the horizon. Thank you for these 10-minute videos for those of us doing the best we can. ❤️
