30 Minute Strength Training for Walking, Seniors & All Levels
This Strength Training for Walking workout, designed for Seniors & All Levels, features exercises for seniors over 50 at beginner and intermediate levels that will build muscle in your glutes, legs, and core.
Just getting started with strength training? Work out with my mom. All of her moves are done standing with up to 10 repetitions, just perfect for beginners. Or ready to ramp up your weight lifting? Challenge yourself with me (I'm April, a certified personal trainer) -- we add more reps and do two moves on the floor. If you're with me, this is an intermediate or advanced senior workout.
This workout can be done with or without weights. We use dumbbells but you can use anything that's easy to hold such as water bottles, cans or bags of beans.
Here's the format: We do three sets of 5 strength exercises to really challenge your body and build muscle!
✳️ Chair Stand Up/Squat
✳️ Step Forward with a Twist
✳️ Deadlift
✳️ Step Backs/Glute Bridge
✳️ Knee Ups/Bird Dog
Let's keep building muscle! Try our other strength workouts for seniors and beginners of all ages!!
