Balance, Strength & Core Workout to Improve Stability for Beginners & Seniors

30 minute all standing workout for beginners and seniors. Join me for a great workout that will challenge your balance and brain!
All these exercises were designed to work together for improved stability. You will tone your lower body with leg exercises using big dynamic movements. You will use one dumbbell to strength train your upper body while simultaneously working on your balance. Having good balance takes lots of practice! Please be patient with yourself until it improves.
We will also complete some standing core exercises. Core strength is crucial for good balance! Make sure you start at a slow pace and keep your core engaged by pulling your belly button up and in.
I’m using one 4 pound hand weight. Any dumbbell from 1-8 pounds would work well.
I’m also not wearing any footwear. I encourage you to also be barefoot. It’s important for the muscles in your feet to be able to feel the floor. Heavy, flat bottom shoes can impede your progress. All exercises are zero impact so there is no need to be concerned about joint support.

I hope you love this challenging balance, strength and core workout! Let me know in the comments section. You will feel better and stand taller.

Thank you for working out with me 😃

I've been enjoying your videos and have passed them along to others. I am 66 years old and although I do not feel like a 'senior', I am definitely an exercise beginner - thanks so much!

Wunderbares workout, in jeder Hinsicht! ❤ Tank you so much for doing this with all your Love… genau das richtige 👌🏼😘

There is a big difference between SAYING your exercises are for seniors/beginners and actually being such!
Beautifully demonstrated, I'm loving this and in return, I will keep you posted on how this works out and progresses.

Thanks a

I love all the videos I have done with you. Altho sometimes I wonder, are they really for seniors and beginners, as I sweat and struggle to keep up sometimes. That is a compliment, because they are great workouts and as you say, You Do You, and I always get caught up and into better shape.
I have been doing your videos exclusively for just over a year, off and on as life gets in the way. I can’t thank you enough for helping me to get into shape and stay in shape. I am 64, had my left hip replaced a year ago April, and am a professional ski instructor. My skiing improved last year leaps and bounds, 1 from the new hip, yet also with how much better shape I was in with you and your exercises. I even took 2 exams last winter to progress to a higher instructor level. I recommend you to every one I speak to, regardless of their ages or fitness levels.
Thank you for helping me to get the most out of my personal endeavors and personal happiness. Cheers, Mary

Hi Lauren, very grateful for your work.
I feel the sensation of being live following your class.
I thank God for your contribution to our well-being and you for personalizing it, it is as if you knew my physical condition.
A hug

I enjoyed this workout definitely not only for seniors this is for anyone

[maritakochis]

I love all your workouts ! I have been working on my balance for over a year and yay for me I didn’t need the chair at all. I never really realized how important balance exercises are as we age. Thank you for all the different workouts you provide for all of us !

[GailMatthews-og]

I've been a subscriber of your videos for quite some time now. You never cease to amaze me with the variety of your workouts. There are so many from which to choose. Keep up the good work!

[lsdev]

This was a fast one...I kept up for the most part😂 had those little weights for umpteen years, must have given them away🤔 still the the exercises with a band or without them. Still got a good workout in my arms and back. Thanks Lauren and Mike!🥰🇨🇦Sharon.

So great. Really love all your workouts, but love the challenge of two separate movements with hands and legs

Hi Lauren! I am so happy to have discovered your workouts! I am 72 and a BEGINNER. I've wanted to work out for a long time but never found a video right for my age. My daughter found your videos, and I am really enjoying them! Thank you that you have a heart for the older generation. It says a lot about you. ❤ I'm starting with 'Weight Training for Beginners & Seniors' - 20 min video, and alternate days I do your stretching workouts, and I'm loving it! Thank you again!

[sharlinestasio]

Lauren I love your workouts! I am 63 yrs old and have always been active and working out but I find that I need the Senior version these last couple years…..thank you soooo much!!!

[renatinhatassi]

Outstanding. I have lots of room to improve, but I'm excited for the challenge. You made it look so easy, though!

[antoinettebayrakdarian]

Thank you for a creative, challenging & fun workout. 😊How ingenious are you, with those side wall planks & the heal raiser’s. You rock Lauren! 😊
Thank you for making me stronger with all your reminders, confidence, happy spirit & knowledge.

Day 38, what can I say, I am still sticking it out here because the workouts are versatile, very well designed and executed and plentiful and I can find something suitable for me every day however I feel.
