At 62 i'm just getting back into dumbbell workouts and this (plus the 10 min warm up) is absolutely perfect. Feels like I've just had a really good workout without straining anything. Thank you!!!
Meredith, You are a Blessing. I just turned 68. I've been doing your video for arthritis and inflammation. I am feeling the great effects of doing it every day. Shucks I so look forward to early morning to do the video. Now I can use my 3 pound dumbbell that's been gathering dust to this groovy 10 minute video. Your breathing helps me to remember to breathe and focus. Thank You Very Kindly ❤
I love this. I’m almost 59 and I’m losing upper body strength. Your workout was great and I loved that you helped me remember to breathe. But also, this was a truly senior exercise that was not too hard because I’m at the beginning of exercising. Thank you so much. I usually try to do too much the first few times and I quit, but I know I can stick with this. Thanks!!
I'm not a Senior but I was looking for a gentle, slow and concious workout that allows me to put all my atention in every movement I make and don't stress me out with noisy workouts musics or fasts routines 😅 I like to work out in slowly pace. I did many rounds of your workout and it was a grest experience, so gently but at the same time I feelbI've work a lot my muscles. Thank you ❤
Way to go! I am so happy you like the workouts, and they are helping you feel good and working all your muscles. Keep up the great work, and remember I am here for you!
So glad i came across your workout Meredith . I am 74 yrs had knee and hip replacement in 2020 2021 and open heart surgery in 2023 . Still going strong thank god ❤
Meredith just started workouts again after my surgery last month, so taking it nice and easy and slowly getting back to where I was before surgery. This routine has helped and on my repeat, thank you so much….btw I’ve now lost almost 14 lbs and 2 inches off my waist in last year, with your help too
Excellent workout, perfectly designed, my favourite exercises. Due to health issues I had to do the exercises sitting down. This is sometimes the case. Thank you for this session, Meredith💛
Every other day is best, as it uses dumbbells and the body needs at least one day of rest between workouts of this type to grow and rebuild. Way to go!
Hi Meredith! When will you do more videos for scoliosis? Are all your videos safe for women with scoliosis? I appreciate your videos and your help so much Meredith. Much love. 💐 💕🦋
@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith OH I'm so happy they are all safe for me! 🥰 I will look forward to you new videos for scoliosis and kyphosis. JESUS hold you so close always. Thank you Merideth. 🌺⚘️💗
Like I’ve mentioned before I’m not a Senior but am middle aged who deals with chronic pain and limited mobility. If I do these (when able)on a consistent basis how would this benefit me?
This workout, along with all the strength training workouts, help in a multitude of ways. Starting with strengthening the entire body, upper, lower, and core. Consistent exercise helps ease chronic pain, fibromyalgia and arthritis, and more. Strength training builds muscles, which helps mobility and posture, ultimately helping with balance. That is a quick overview, which I hope helps! Please keep me posted on how you are doing! Take care, Meredith
Strength every other day...give a day rest to allow the muscles to regrow and strengthen. And three times a day is okay, if your body feels okay with it :) Always be safe!
It depends on what you think you can lift without straining or swinging. Always start light, and probably lighter than you think. I got 4 kg/8.5 pounds and they were too heavy. So I use 2kg/4.5 pounds
Yes, you need to listen to your body and lift a weight that is best for you. Start with soup cans or small water bottles. If form is good, and you feel ready, then add more weight.

Can you do another one like this that’s intermediate and about the same length of time? Thanks, Meredith.
I will work on that!!
Thank you, good workout
You're so welcome! I am glad you liked it!
Excellent workout, perfectly designed, my favourite exercises.
Due to health issues I had to do the exercises sitting down. This is sometimes the case. Thank you for this session, Meredith💛
Thank you, and seated is still great, way to go!

You are so welcome!
Meredith - I just stared this workout and the speed is perfect for me. Should I do these daily? Thank you, Meredith.
Every other day is best, as it uses dumbbells and the body needs at least one day of rest between workouts of this type to grow and rebuild. Way to go!
🎉 Thank You!
Thanks, very useful
Thank you!

❤❤❤
How often should I be doing this? Daily or every other day? Three times a day😅?
Strength every other day...give a day rest to allow the muscles to regrow and strengthen. And three times a day is okay, if your body feels okay with it :) Always be safe!
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith Thanks for the quick reply.... yeah, I can't see 3 times a day happening!
Hello, what weight would you recommend to start please?
I recommend water bottles or even range of motion to start, slowing adding more weight to 3-5lb.
How heavy are the dumbells we are supposed to use?
It depends on what you think you can lift without straining or swinging. Always start light, and probably lighter than you think. I got 4 kg/8.5 pounds and they were too heavy. So I use 2kg/4.5 pounds
@@Elflamencojuan TY!
Yes, you need to listen to your body and lift a weight that is best for you. Start with soup cans or small water bottles. If form is good, and you feel ready, then add more weight.
March and tap
How many pounds are your bells?
I am using 10lbs for this workout :)
10pounds each or 5 pounds in each dumbell? Thanks so much❤@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith
Can I do this workout with water bottles until I get weights?
Of course!!
You’ve got some great videos but it’s your breathing and the microphone picks it up. It’s quite distracting. Sorry☹️
Sorry you think that. I do breath as a reminder to participants to do so. Enjoy the workouts you find, but I am always here for you!
