Full Body Workout for Seniors, Beginners | Build Muscle with Dumbbells

This workout includes exercises for seniors and beginners to build muscle in your legs, arms, back, shoulders, and core.

Use weights to challenge your muscles if you're up for it. We use dumbbells from 2 pounds to 10 pounds in this workout. You can also use water bottles or cans. Or start without weights to get used to the moves before adding weights.

You'll do two sets of 8 exercises, each 10 reps.

As we age, we lose 3 to 8 percent of muscle every decade. Strength training is important to combat this loss.

April, as a senior citizen, I so appreciated the concern, attention, and respect you demonstrate to you mom in your workouts. You are a very kind and considerate daughter and person. God bless you and your mom.

[marciareagan]

I'm not a senior citizen but these are my favorite videos for my sensitive joints and connective tissue--I love your mama!

[dellamullins]

I started you online classes a few weeks ago and I’m thankful for them.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May and had lumpectomy surgery in June and radiation in July, since than I been very fatigue and have no motivation to do anything, but I came across you and your mommy videos and that finally go me moving….I thank you both and blessings to you🙏💪🏼🏃‍♀️👟

[cherrybee]

Thank you very much indeed. Great video.
And not full of gym bunnies showing us their abs! Yaaaay 👏👏👏👏

[nuriacb]

Ohh, how lovely, I will send this to my mum. Thank you for thinking about our elders.

[eileenharrison]

Thank you ladies. Just what I needed. I’m 75 and looking to improve my core and balance 😊

[lyndagilchuk]

Another great workout. Loved this one. I'm also feeling dewy. Although when you first said it, I thought you asked your mom if she was feeling gooey! LOL. Love you both.

[fjqchnk]

April, this has to be the only video with daughter and elder mom, we love it! ♥️

[newenglanders]

First time doing one of your videos. Picked you over others first because you are actually wearing decent clothes. I do not want to watch half-naked women exercise!
2. because I'm pushing 60 and need to get in shape badly. I did find I had to go slower at the beginning of the video because, wow, I'm out of shape and stiff. Definitely need to improve my flexibility. I looked specifically for a 2 lb weight workout because that is what I have.
You 2 are sweet! I am so glad you included your mom in this.😊
3) Great background music. I barely noticed it and that's great as I find most music very distracting in videos. I wanted to concentrate on what you were saying and focus on using my muscle groups and good form. Together this helped me do that. Thank you!❤

[DeborahCheng]

Your mom is so adorable! Her participation makes this easy to follow for other seniors. Thank you!

[angelakitchens]

Well done and so needed for us seniors. Let me start out this comment on Aiko's new haircut. I really like how this hair style accentuates her facial features, especially her warm smile. Now on to the Full Body Workout, I so enjoyed this workout as it was challenging and needed at the same time.

April, thanks so much for this mother-daughter routine and the fact you touched base on some very important issues seniors face as we age gracefully. Hope everything goes well as we continue on moving together, April, I am so glad you followed your passion and became a personal trainer. Congratulations and keep up the wonderful work. Respectfully, Angela

[Yoromo]

I it.
Thank you
It makes me miss my mom, but I’m so happy for you to have a mom who supports you and whom you are helping to stay strong and healthy 🥰

[mariapilkington]

Love these exercises using weights. More like this if possible especially when using whole body. Thank you April and Aiko for all your hard work, encouragement and inspiration.

im chronically ill, have been since i was a kid and now im 30. after some surgeries, ive gained weight and im trying to lose it. i find that these senior exercises are so gentle but effective, especially for my bone issues and severe asthma it makes me happy to see how much care you have for your mama to keep her healthy too.

[sonerila]

This was my first day. Loved it. Loved mom. I'll be back tomorrow.

[tlbidwell]

I wanted to say thank you for your videos and help getting me started on a healthier me 💜

[GloriaSimmons-utdm]

I so love your workouts a lot. Thank you so much for the fun workouts with you both.
GOD BLESS 😊

[bmusical]

You and your Mom are a delight together. ❤You make me wish I had worked out with my Mom when she was alive. 💔

[naomin]

I just got diagnosed for osteopenia and osteoporosis, and I'm determined to reverse it. Your video is the first I decided to follow and I love it! Thank you for this gentle mom-daughter collaboration.

[stonewolfsong]

Thank you. As I finished the 40 minute All in One Workout yesterday, I thought, “It would be nice to have a workout that was only strength building.” And voila, the notice of this one popped up in my email. It was just challenging enough.
