These exercises for seniors over 60 include chair exercises that build muscle and increase strength.

Strength training is important to build muscle and increase bone density for seniors to prevent falls, the number cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. Strength training also provides many benefits for individuals with prediabetes, including improved blood sugar control, enhanced insulin response, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, weight management, and overall health improvements.

The American Diabetes Association also recommends strength training for people with type 2 diabetes to help with blood sugar control. Additionally, studies show that strength training is as effective as aerobic exercise at boosting how well the body uses insulin.

Strength workouts build muscle and help the body become more efficient at transporting glucose from the bloodstream to muscles. After exercising, muscles will continue to use glucose and blood sugar may be lower for several hours.

Aim for two strength sessions a week covering all muscle groups with at least two days of rest in between. For optimal health, this should accompany 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week, such as walking.

Please make more resistance bands workouts! This is the only time I enjoyed working out because of your tutorials and I'm also loving my resistance bands now.

I brought an exercise band with me on vacation and did this everyday. I do pretty intense weight lifting at home and still found this to be a wonderful quick workout. Thank you.

Hi, first time I've tried resistance bands work out using my son's bands. Just wondered what weights are best because the bands start from 10lbs. Also, what's the difference between using bands and weights for building muscle. Thank you once again for a brilliant work out and laugh with you all, including Mochi ❤️🙏🏽

I love your resistance band videos. I was introduced to Progressive Resistance Band Training through my local Falls Team as part a 12 week program. I have been working with the Rubber Band types. Can you and mum make some more for us Seniors in the UK. I like this example as you have included Warm-up beforehand, not entirely sure about the tubular bands yet but I will persevere with them.

[milja]

Thank you so much for this. I am not a senior, but I have been in surgery and bedresting for a couple of weeks, and this video is great for starting to slowly and gently build that strength back! ❤
