20 minute Full Body Standing Strength Workout with Dumbbells | Seniors, Beginners

This 20 minute full body strength workout will build muscle in your arms, legs, back, and core. We use dumbbells with these standing exercises, but you can use anything with weight such as water bottles or cans. The goal is to use weight that is challenging for you.

The 7 exercises are done in 30-second intervals. Aim to do 8 to 12 repetitions during each interval. We do two rounds of the exercises.

✳️ Mini traditional squats
✳️ Rows
✳️ Mini sumo squats
✳️ Rows with a tricep kickback
✳️ Reverse lunges
✳️ Bicep curls
✳️ Wood Chops

This workout can be done at least twice a week on its own or with another yes2next workout.

Thank you for this! I'm a breast cancer survivor and am currently in chemical menopause for the next 5-10 years and my body feels older than I am because of it. I've been looking for workouts I can do to loosen up and build muscles back up and there aren't many. I used to be able to do more and it's so hard finding workouts that I can do to build my body back up (many are geared toward young, already-in-shape people without joint issues). This was one I could do and gives me so much hope that I can workout and do strength training again.

I'm a beginner at 57. I just finished the first session. I'm a little emotional because I have finally done it and broken my procrastination.
Your gentle and kind attitude kept me going. I loved it and broke out of my stuck attitude.
Thankyou and bless you both.

I try and work out with you daily. I love your way of exercising at my age of almost 78. Thanks for what you are doing for us seniors.

Love your mom and you working together! Your mom is adorable!

[leannethiel]

I found your workouts about a month ago and I really enjoy them. I love the relationship between you and your mother. She is so funny! And I love Mochi!

I started with your 10 minute walking workout on 3/7/23. It is now 4/12/23. I do your 20 minute walk and 20 minute strength with dumbells 4 times a week. Thank-you for being patient! My BP is now NORMAL and my heart rate has dropped 20 beats per minute. I was "scared" because of my heart rate back in March. Today, my heart rate was 72 beats per minute, down from an average of 95. You two are the

I'm a beginner, aged 58. Enjoyed this workout, can feel it afterwards in my core. New subscriber, loved it. Your mum is a superstar😊

[madisonh]

I really love that you include warmups and cool downs!!

New subscriber here and I joined for three reasons. #1 Your precious cat #2 Your lovely Mom #3 Your encouraging tone and words I am getting over a back injury (L 5) and also have bad knees at 62. I'm looking forward to being fit and trim like I was before the pandemic and I think your workouts are perfect for that. I can't do floor exercises so this is perfect. Thank you. Love your grey hair!

[mariacardenas]

Nice workout. Your mom is so beautiful. You two remind me of my mom and I. She passed away but it brought such beautiful memories. Have a blessed day and stay strong.

I love these two ladies and the incremental movement toward small goals, then larger. Even though I belong to a very nice athletic club, I still love to work out with Iko and April. These two gals have helped me come out of a long standing depression, because they gave me goals I could approach, then master, then move on. It's as if I am having two friends over and no matter how messy my house might look, I can just tune into one of these videos, do some exercises, then find my vim and verve to get on with my housework. Iko and April are the best deal going. Very thankful and grateful to have found them.

[srobinson]

So glad to find this. Not a senior but wanted a beginner workout to begin using weights. Thank you

[youngraines]

Enjoyed it. Wonderful to hear Mochi and see him as part of the exercise regimen. He is such a relaxing influence. Handsome boy. 💙

[dianeehlers]

I just came across your channel and I have to say you two are wonderful! Positive energy from start to finish. I am 73 and recovering from a thoracic compression fracture. Thank you so much!

[marcjojay]

I'm not a senior but wanting to get fit and I absolutely love these videos they are easy to do and makes me look forward to working out, thank you both!

[anaramanapoetry]

Love this. Thank you so much. So delightful AND a workout!

[xlmgmtf]

Just found your videos. Perfect for my morning and evening stretching routine. Thank you.

[syedaakther]

Thank you so much. Love the mother daughter chat and encouragement. Excited to try these with my mum😊

[reginagilbert]

I would love to see more of these full-body strength workouts using dumbbells. 20 minutes seems to be an ideal time for me, too. I have been working out for just over 4 years, but am always on the lookout for fun and interesting videos like yours. I try to avoid getting in a rut with my routines, and your approach to the workout is heartening to me.

I will be 68 in a month. Thank you!

I love this workout, your darling mother, her great sense of humour, and the majestic cat. I love that you're encouraging without being condescending. Thank you.
