Strength Training for Beginners and Seniors to see Positive Change | Final day of a 25 day program

Welcome to day 25 (the final day!) of a strength training program for beginners and seniors. Congratulations to all of you who have followed this 25 day program to see positive change in your strength. Choosing to exercise isn't always easy, but when you think about the benefits, it makes it easier to get yourself into your space at home to work out. Today we will be working on exercises to build stronger legs, shoulders and core. The stretching portion today is a little bit longer since we are working harder this last week. After the 5 weeks, you can continue to repeat week 5 to see continued results.

Your options for continuing:
Option #1: Continue to do 1 strength workout a day 5 days a week (or you can do 6 days, if you wish). Allow one day off a week.
Option #2: You can lump together an upper body and lower body workout into one day. You can skip the warm-up in the second video since you'll already be warmed up from the 1st video. If you lump the workouts together, you could do 3 full-body workouts a week. This is a great way to see results and you'd only have to do strength workouts 3x a week. You can choose whatever days in the week you'd like as long as you allow one day off strength workouts in between. *You can still do cardio any of those days as well.
Option #3: If you're not enjoying strength workouts, and struggle to make yourself do them, you could follow option #2 but just do the workouts twice a week (include both upper and lower body into 1 day). You'll still see benefits by doing two days of strength workouts a week.

I just finished Day 25! I am so pumped. I've never stayed with an exercise routine (even walking) this long in years. I combined the series with add on fun cardio workouts. My balance is so much improved and who knew I could do a plank at age 64! Now I am exploring longer cardio workouts to mix and match with the continued strength training. Thank you Jules!!!

[carolkriegbaum]

I never imagined I would fall in love with strength training but I have you to thank for that. I will continue on and am investing in more weights so I can get even stronger. Your guidance and manageable exercises has made this so enjoyable. I've never stuck with any exercise program this long! I have lost 20 pounds (eating healthier and walking too). Love your cardio videos too! Thank you!

It is a great pity that this is the last day. I haven't even noticed how these 5 weeks have gone by. Thank you, Jules, for all your exercises, advice and tips.💛

To celebrate 25 days and 75 sec plank I followed this with a 20 minute workout from last Christmas. Tis the season. Music was fun.

[lauradees]

Thank you, Jules! I have completed this entire series. I'm 64 and did an 80 second plank this morning! I have been faithful to workout all my life, but I am glad to find your channel. I love your walking workouts! I try to do strength training 2-3 times a week along with rebounding and walking. I love your positive encouragement!

[jolawrence]

Like so many others, I've enjoyed every day especially on days you don't do the lunges!! Shows it's been pitched perfectly for my level as I can do them, just not enjoy them! I really can't thank you enough & it's been so nice that you have taken the time to reply to our messages. I'll be repeating these last few weeks and combine with other videos of yours - can't thank you enough.

[christopherellinger]

Thank you! I did all 25 days. A wonderful gentle way to build the habit of strength training. Big appreciation to you! (Anne- age 68)

I have done all the five weeks, day after day and I am proud of myself. I promise you to keep up the good mood and to continue until we go to the sky holiday and after our return, too. I am very thankful for all the good work you invested. Jules, God bless you and thanks

[lwatlinkline]

I just finished this series for the third time-- and did the 75 second plank, finally. I've been getting my house ready to sell and the strength I gained from these workouts has really made a tremendous difference both in my ability to work and the amount of energy I have to do it. Thanks!

[allysonewart]

Done this again today as per schedule and forgot it had a 75 second plank but I did it.. Defo better doing it first. Was so great to do this again. I did the 18 min cardio with 50 and 60 music.... I'm so in mood for weekend and dancing lol. Have a super weekend improved health team❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Jules, thank you so much for the 5 week strength exercises. I have completed them all and all the exercises, some of them are a challenge and got to the 50 second plank! I can feel the difference in my strength and balance. Words cannot describe how different I feel. I will continue to build my strength with these exercises and your cardio, there brilliant. Thank you again for your time and commitment to put together exercises for everyone’s benefit! God bless you, Diane 😊

Buen día jules ¡¡y llegamos a la 25 rutina!!constancia y motivación ayudan a realizarkas todos los días!!Buen finde!!🇦🇷💪🙌💝💋

I've finally completed your 25 day exercise classes. My normal pattern involved one each strength and cardio with less emphasis in strength per day. I'm far more advanced than I was when I started your under 20 minutes playlist and your 25 day strength classes. I intend on returning to them but will be searching for exercises that are a bit more challenging. A little bit at a time is my motto. I move slowly through all manner of playlists. You will hear from me when I wander off to new territory, Jules. Many thanks for your positive words in order to instill in us a positive attitude about exercising. Gratefully...Anastasia

[santagriego]

This has been the best series! I've always had weak upper body strength and to think I had to wait until I was 67 to finally be able to do push ups is incredible. I also managed to do 75 seconds on the plank. Your videos have given me all the tools I need to work on all parts of my body. For that I thank you. Have a great week-end!

[anuradhab]

Jules, Jules Jules...that was such a grand finale to this series🥰
Loved that you added the hydrant, on the ground...had been waiting for it!! It was a pretty tough workout today... and the fact that I stayed with you must prove that I am growing stronger...can I thank you enough??
I wish you the best of luck and great joy in all your future ventures...shall certainly keep up with the strength-building as taught by you ( Though I selfishly hope you've already got a great something else for us, up your sleeve...and that I shall see your notification at noon, coming Monday! )
Have a truly well-deserved break over the weekend🤗

[AngelicaLopez-yioy]

Thanks again for an amazing program...and that 75 second plank! WOWIE!! It's hard to believe my hip replacement was almost 3 months ago. That time flew because I was getting stronger everyday...especially over these past 5 weeks working out with you! I look forward to more! 🥰

[valeriezick]

I really had to push myself today. How many times have I said these words? After I started and especially after I finished, I felt so good, so I'm super glad that I did!! Thank you Jules!

[RebeccaDavis-bb]

Just completed day 25. So happy I found a manageable strength program. I look forward to completing days 21-25 over and over.

[theresalortz]

This has been an outstanding series. Thank you so much. Well worth repeating for myself. But get up the good work and pushing us more.

[alisonmoore]

I can hardly believe it's been 5 weeks since we started this program! I've looked forward to it every day and will definitely be continuing. I can see improvement every where and might even be able to wear a sleeveless top out in public again...although might need much warmer weather for that 😁 Thank you so much Jules for this amazing program! Bless you!
