This is a great loop band workout. I recently got the Kangfiter fabric loop bands and using them in this routine was challenging in the best way. I really appreciate your hip and ankle strengthening exercises in this routine. ❤
Looks like a great work with the loop band. I’m excited to add loop band to my aqua Pilates band class. Enjoy your voice, calm and clear. Thank you Meredith.
Just purchased loop bands. I loved doing this workout with you. Do you have any other looped band workouts since this one? I have actually been doing several of your workouts in the last few months. I am a senior and feel very comfortable doing your exercises. Thank you for your videos!!
Hi! Here are a couple more looped band workouts. I also have one that will be coming soon, which will be a full body workout using a loop band. Let me know how you enjoy these! Take care, Meredith www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/glutes-and-lower-body-workout-for-seniors-intermediate-level-20-min/ www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/lower-body-resistance-bands-exercises-for-seniors-and-beginners/
Might be my fave workout of all the ones I've tried. Using the looped band added a bit of 'fluidity' to the moves. :) Perhaps you'd consider doing a 'flow' routine with minimal cuing?
Hi Mary! Thank you so much for the comment! COPD is difficult to deal with, and I commend you for working so hard:) Keep it up! This looped band resistance band workout is something that can be done every other day, but not daily as it is strenuous on your quadriceps and shoulders. Strength training is every other day. But stretching and light cardio can be done daily! Keep up the great work! Take care and stay healthy! Meredith
Hi, I am 67 and diabetic. Only exercise and muscle tone can really help. So I was searching for something that I can do at home and saw your channel. I started this today. Please tell me, Should I do this everyday or on alternate days? Is there progression to other programs that you have uploaded? Should we increase resistance gradually? I started with 5 kg and I am really physically unfit - no muscle or muscle tone, otherwise healthy and mobile. I would appreciate very much if you could draft a structured ( how many days on each etc) program for people like me I am writing from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, the southern tip of the Indian peninsula. Thanks a lot
Hi Susan! great job starting with the bands strength training! Yes, every other day to give the muscles time to recover. Increase resistance gradually as you see the need. You can also do more intermediate and advanced workouts, as well as longer options over time. I do offer a 7-Day custom workout plan which might help you: www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/product/your-custom-7-day-workout-plan/ I look forward to hearing from you soon! Take care and stay well, Meredith
After two days my muscles have become quite sore. I will wait till the pain is less. The stress and inflammation also makes my blood glucose go up. But I will not give up. I guess it will get better gradually
Hello Meredith! Thanks for making more frequent video’s; I’ve had little time to write- lots of classes but it’s all good! This video was great as I’ve not taught with loops before. I thought this would have a faster learning curve for my elderly seniors. I birth contained bands in 7 and 9lb resistance (referred to as light and med.light). I also tied a few spare Thera bands for women that have larger thighs and are overweight. This is my question- well two part: 1. What length do you cut your to before tying? 2. Yours looks thicker than mine (I know brands vary); are you comfortable telling me what band you use? Thanks so much! I’ll be using this routine for part of one class today. (BTW. My classes liked this better than the untied 5’ Thera and Resist-a-band brands I bought). Have a great day!
Hi Carol! I appreciate your watching and utilizing the material in my videos...it means so much to me! To answer your questions: 1. I cut my bands about 1.5 arms length. And when I tie them, I make them at different sizes. Even if a band is tied slightly larger than needed, it can be held in the center while being used on the lower body. 2. I use many different brands of bands. The blue in the video is "Physicians Choice", but I also use TheraBand for many different long and tied band work. I do hope your class enjoyed the new material you brought to them! Thank you for watching! Take care! Be happy, and healthy, and positive always! Meredith

I will consider that, thank you for the request! I am very happy you enjoyed it, I do like the looped band workouts too:)
Thank you Meredith
Thank you!!
I have COPD so aerobic is difficult. This looks like something I could do. Is this to be done daily or every other day?
