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!
Jules

After sidelining myself for a while due to a severe wrenched back muscle, I chose this beginner strength routine. It was perfect! I used 3 lb. weights except 5 pounders for the hammer curl, and successfully performed all the moves and exceeded the assigned reps. I couldn't wait to get back on track with you, Jules. I'm still taking it slowly, but thanks for being there!...Anastasia

Week 3, day 6...Thank you once again for an opportunity to train mental consistency and discipline. I noticed that I can put one ankle on a knee now without using my arms to haul it up. The real progress is that I am keeping on keeping on.

OK. Did it. Do not let that "beginner" label put you off. These were surprisingly challenging ... like the heal toe walk. I appreciate the attention to words matching the body motion -- as I do not know the motions and must pattern my body as it were. Thank you Where is "workout 1"? I will add these into the regular walking/interval training. I am so very grateful for these series. They, and you, are what I need at this time in my life.

back again. Week 2 day 6. Heel to toe still a challenge (a lot of the exercises still a challenge...). I keep on keeping on. Thank you.

This is is the one we did after our walking video this morning.

Hi Jules, I never quite know what you mean by tighten your abs or arms etc. What if you have a lot of belly fat and can't feel your abs don't think you have any abs at all, can we still squueze tighten them? How exactly do you tighten them please?

How many times should we do this exercise a week? How do the order of the videos work? Like week 1 for the entire week 1? Week 2 for the entire week 2?

[Abilovesjack]

Hello, I am new to your channel. Question: how many sets for each excercise? Do I just do 10 each? Thank you

Do you have exercises for osteopenia? Is this the exercise for it?
