I’m 73 and haven’t exercised in a very long time. I’m loving this exercise. I’m a little winded and my heart’s pumping but I CAN DO IT!!! I feel empowered and I love it. Thank you Meredith 💖
Boy these exercises are a challenge for me especially the hip openers on my unaligned hips and spine. 58 and 230 pds omg. I sure need it to get back in shape. I hope I can keep it up every other day or so to start. Along with my walking every other day. I went for a walk afterwards with my 18 yo son to the dollar general a 8 min walk away there but I think it took me a little longer today. And those lateral raises and arm circles my goodness. Definitely a work out here for me out of shape and been working on losing weight for over a yr now down to 230 was lower at 217 back in Feb. but I put back on some water retention and inflammation again this inside healing hormones, etc. is going to take a awhile at least I'm down from the 275ish range fromm 2020 and 269ish ranges from last year. At 5' 4 1/4" I gotta long ways to go.
I got you, @TamiCannon-bl9yb! 😉 Here's a link where you can see all of our TH-cam channel's standing workouts! 👇 I hope you enjoy! ❤️ www.youtube.com/@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining/search?query=standing
Thank you so much for this, Mer!!! I'll be 52 years old in 5 days. I'm seriously overweight (180lb) and in a terrible shape. I haven't exercised in more than 2 years and my body feels terrible. I loved this workout, your voice, your energy, your advice. This is my first day. I plan to do this for 7 days and then maybe buy your One and Done workout plan. I really need this. Thank you so much, Mer! God bless you always 💐💞💫
Just read Bonnie’s comment and same here for me. I just turned 65 and while I’m moderately active outside gardening and walking the trails on our property, I haven’t really exercised in a long while. I signed up on your Metaboost website a while back but never started. I’m so glad to find your videos and was able to get through this one with no problem. I know I can stick to exercising with your guidance! I also like that they are to the point without a 15 minute “motivational talk” before starting. Thanks, Meredith!
These workouts are phenomenal. I'm noticing a difference in ONE WEEK. You really work to engage specific areas and using correct form. These pump me up without draining me and jacking my cortisol up. You're the real deal, Meredith.
Dear - thank you SOO MUCH! just turned 50 and realized I need to do something as I got a bit too lazy through my 40's. Lost both shape and motivation. This is exactly what I needed to start!
Hi Meredith, yesterday my 32yo son encouraged me to exercise in front of him while on cam and while at work as he lives a distance away. Other times he has encouraged me to go for walks but then I lose the momentum, so he decided to try a different approach and watch me while I do my exercise 3 times a week every other day, and still calls me every Sunday as always, plus he's been a runner and disciplined himself since a teen. At this point, I got quite emotional in a good way and felt SO blessed that my son wants me to have a fitness foundation, I am 60 next year!!! I wanted to ask the #Q on how often should I do this particular beginner's workout before I go to the next level and what would the next level BE or do I just target which area I want to work on..? And lastly, thank you SO much for these short exercises, as I know my son will be proud and I definitely want to gradually see results in myself
That is SO awesome! Love the support and dedication your son is giving you❤️ To answer your question, first of all remember CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Beginners, aim for 2-3 days per week - working your way up😊 For intermediate, 3-4 days per week. It’s important to exercise different parts of your body! I recommend alternating between days & sections of your body. For example, one day focus on upper body (arms, back, chest), another day focus on lower body (legs, glutes), then another day you can focus on your core or cardio! If you want to target a specific area such as knee fat, love handles, bat wings, etc… you can always add a quick body specific exercise at the end of any workout as a finisher! We have them ALL here on our channel. Just do a quick word search for what you’re looking for. Hope this helps👍
This was excellent and I hope you make more like this video. I am just getting on my feet after a 2 year illness which kept me in bed. Thank you very much.
Thank you!!!! Love it!!! I'm such a beginner and after 2 kids I finally need to do this for ME! I have always hated the idea of a gym... And am LOVING doing these at home and at a level I actually can do. I am feeling confident and strong thanks to you ❤ I love mamas supporting mamas! And I've tried some of your recipes too, so great!

Hi Mere - I'm on your mailing list. I'm 75 and have been away from doing workouts for years, but it feels good to receive your videos - AND..... this title grabbed my attention. I thought - "Hey, maybe I can actually make myself do this!" I moved my computer screen so I could just stand in front of it, put it on full screen. I needed to sieze the opportunity, when I felt able to tackle a workout. I didn't even change out of my jeans and sweater. LOL Since I haven't been doing workouts, I decided to stop at the end of the first round today, to avoid sore muscles ;-) I loved the workout Mere, and it's definitely something that feels like I can continue, adding an additional Round each time. I'm delighted to hear that doing it twice a week will help build some muscle. Thanks for all the amazing videos you provide for folks. :-) Kathryn
Hello Meredith, just wanted to say how much I love this routine. It’s only been a week and I can feel my muscles again, feeling solid and not so wobbly anymore! I am almost 59 and am loving this workout, really appreciate the low impact so not so hard on my knees. Thanks again, I’m a 7 minute believer!
Hello! We're so thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the routine and how it's making a difference for you. Keep up the fantastic work! Your commitment to your fitness journey is truly inspiring. 💪😊
Love this one Mare! 62...and if any of you are reading this... YOU CAN DO IT!!! Be Kind to yourself..as woman, we have spent far too long being there for everyone else. It's YOUR TURN!
Just wanna say thank you just discovered your workout I'm 59 an way out of shape I need to loose like 75 lbs if not more. So this is great for me right now!! I hope if I continue I will loose something!! Thanks again!!
I'm glad you found the workout and are starting your journey, @dawnprudenti1964! 😍 Stay committed, and you'll definitely start seeing results. You've got this, and I'm cheering you on! 💪😊
Thank you for your great video. I have been doing the 7 minute workout with you for 2-3 months 3-5 times a week. I love your workout. I'm 68 years old and didn't think I could get down on the ground and then back up quickly, but after awhile, it became easier. I get a great workout. I'm out of breath, AND I look much better than I did. I'm really toned up and plan on continuing this program because I feel so much stronger. I actually think it's improving my knee bone-on-bone situation. I'm trying to avoid Another knee replacement. I have told my daughter, my sisters, and my neighbors about your program. I started this program because I read about an elderly Japanese woman who gardens and is quite active. Japanese get up and down from their tables (on the floor) and mats regularly, many times a day due to the design of Japanese homes. I want that mobility.
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey! I'm thrilled to hear about the progress you've made and how the workouts have positively impacted your strength and mobility, especially with your knee situation. Your dedication and commitment are truly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work! 💪❤
I'm 66 and havent worked out in years. Need to lose weight and would love to get off of some meds. I want to take pics and monitor my progress. Excited to get started! Thank you Meredith
Thank you, I watch a lot of your videos and your coaches as well, in a lot of the exercises I have problems with because I have ra and I have osteopenia. So coarse my hips and my knees are my big problem. Do you have any exercises I can do without hurting other areas as such? Thank you so much for all you do
No worries there ! You can always modify the exercises but slowing down on the movement, lowering the weight or just swapping out the exercise that’s easier on the body ! As long as you’re moving, you’re making progress💕
Hey Mere, have done the muffin top before, need to resume. I workout daily and on weekends longer, just looking at some different videos, liking this 8minute. Have target 🎯🎯 in mind in my weight loss, lower body, to burn fat. Thanks for all you do
Been doing ur One and Done, 7min, beginner workouts for about 3 wks and have noticed SUCH a diff in my posture! My lower back doesn't hurt and I can reach my feet, to put my socks on again! Thnk u!!
Wow! I was able to do this😊 Thank you for making the moves easy to do and remember. I'm a heart failure patient with short term memory issues and it's like you made this routine with me in mind❤
I'm so glad to hear that you were able to do the routine! Your determination is inspiring, and I'm happy that the moves were accessible for you. Keep up the fantastic work!❤️😊
Please add some more standing incontinence avoidance exercises for us ladies age 39 and holding (or anything except being on the ground). I feel uncomfortable lying on the ground since I live alone and am unsure if I can get up without hurting myself. Also, any ideas on getting better on going up and down stairs, for people like me living in a level-in house? This is key to my work for the Census Field Reps. Many thanks for your great ideas, Carol Zischke (San Francisco area ( very chilly these days) ❤
Hi, I would like to get into an exercise routine but can you explain the difference between doing this vs the One and Done SIT workout plan? I am 54 yrs old if that makes a difference. Thanks
No worries! Please contact my team as they can assist you. You can reach them at any of the phone numbers below or support@sveltetraining.com 😊 Please let me know if you have any further difficulty
You are so sneaky. You make it 7 minutes long so I think... oh I can do this... then I do it and think... can I do another of your videos... and I do! MWF - this one and muffin top, TThS - Full body toning and How to tone arms without weights. Under 20 minutes a day and I'm done. And it is working. Thank you to much!
This is a great work out for me since I got a bit lazy in the past year. I’m 56 and this workout is just what I need to start out with. I was wondering though, about how many times a day would you recommend this workout?

Love this! Question though, when I do the hip rotations I get a click in my spine above my waist, is that dangerous? Its not painful, just annoying. Is there a different hip excercise i can do in place of this one?
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the workout!🥰 It’s not uncommon to experience clicking in your spine during hip rotations, and it’s generally not a concern if it’s not painful. If it’s bothersome, you might try sitting on a chair and extending one leg straight out, then lowering it back down, alternating legs. If the clicking persists or becomes painful, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.🩺 Keep up the great work @kristinehobson8797!💪🏻
I've been doing low carb 80% often time as well as intermittent fasting for some time, but I definitely feel I've seen a difference in how my clothes fit and I believe its bcz of this workout... I try to do it every other day...
Hi Mer, Nana Vic 70 here again! This is awesome, I am actually seeing core improvement! Thank you, Thank you for your motivational coaching I really need the "Pull in that Belly button" and "relax those shoulders, look at me" Could you send out something to help the 'Old lady stand" (you know when shoulders want to bend forward? Thank you so much! God bless you
I'm baaacckkk.... I missed the last 2 days. I wasn't feeling so good. I took it easy on the lunges. Overall this was a great workout. Thank you and please keep the workouts coming ❤
Welcome back, @kuiipoluokalani2471! 🎉 Don't worry about missing a couple of days, it's important to listen to your body and take it easy when needed. Glad to hear you enjoyed the workout! Keep up the fantastic effort, and more workouts are on the way! 💪❤️
I purchased your program awhile back but i find using these youtube video's easier. Thank you. Doing just 7 mins a day is efficient for seeing results? I recall in your program you saying something about adding more to that time or perhaps more than once a day but its been awhile so I cannot remember.
First of all, remember CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Beginners, aim for 2-3 days per week - working your way up😊 For intermediate, 3-4 days per week. It’s important to exercise different parts of your body! I recommend alternating between days & sections of your body. For example, one day focus on upper body (arms, back, chest), another day focus on lower body (legs, glutes), then another day you can focus on your core or cardio! If you want to target a specific area such as knee fat, love handles, bat wings, etc… you can always add a quick body specific exercise at the end of any workout as a finisher! We have them ALL here on our channel. Just do a quick word search for what you’re looking for. Hope this helps💜
I appreciate your response and I understand the need for consistency etc...but as I work up the amount of days, am I always just doing the 7 minutes? Is 7 minutes enough on those workout days or should the time increase also? Or even more than one 7 minute session a day??
I’m a cancer survivor for the second time. Just getting back into exercising. I’m 69 years old and until cancer, I was very active. I’ve endured radiation and chemo. This workout was hard on my knees. I just pushed through it. Will these exercises be good for me as I start out slow?
Hey Patricia! 👋 I'm so glad to hear that you're getting back into exercising after your cancer journey. You're amazing! 💪 Since you've experienced knee problems, I would recommend trying out our standing workouts th-cam.com/play/PLuXYeD0GQBnd6jLWzFCjolTjy63Exdtb3.html. They can be a great option for you as you start out slow and take care of your knees. Remember to listen to your body and modify any exercises if needed. You've got this! 💕
So is this body weight bearing exercises ir no just low impact cardio and core strengthening. So I could do these on MWF instead of walking. Great for overall body strengthening!

Hi Olga! Thanks for joining in! Yes, over time, this exercise set can help burn body fat. Just remember, CONSISTENCY IS KEY. It depends on your fitness level, as everyone’s journey is different. Combine it with a balanced diet and stay consistent. Keep up the great work! 💪🔥

@Meredith could you create a playlist with the suggestion above. I find myself trying a whole bunch of videos and not committing to any definite routine since you have so many. I’d love to see your suggestion for a weekly routine. Thank you!!
As long as you feel comfortable and able, yes! Any kind of activity is good for you and especially when it comes to working on every part of your body. I do suggest you take at least 1-2 rest days per week for your body to recover .
Each individual has different body and how the body reacts in every workout. You can incorporate another workout routine based on your preference. You may find the playlist of workouts here: www.youtube.com/@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining/playlists
I like your exercise video but I have psoriatic arthritis. so I can do the exercise I have pain in the knee. what can I do? Now I gain my weight. I am worried about my weight. Can you please do something suggested to me? Thank you

Hello, @gingercameronfordcrouch7057! I always recommend talking to your doctor or PT before trying any new exercise so you can do what’s best for you! ☺ As long as you feel comfortable and able, yes! Any kind of activity is good for you and especially when it comes to working on every part of your body. I do suggest you take at least 1-2 rest days per week so your muscle fibers can rest and recover. 💪
So I have been walking MWF but now and then throw in one of these a few of those walking days. Very doable I take it as easy as I can. Will work my way to building up mote strength eep in my back and hips hopefully this works glutes and pelvic strength too. So needed at my age and fitness level needs working up so. I am working on it. Definitely need muscle building/fat loss atm.
Hey 😀Great question! First of all, remember CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Beginners, aim for 2-3 days per week - working your way up😊 For intermediate, 3-4 days per week. It’s important to exercise different parts of your body! I recommend alternating between days & sections of your body.
To strengthen your knees, focus on exercises that target the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, such as squats, lunges, and leg curls, while incorporating mobility work like stretching and foam rolling. If side lunges cause discomfort, reduce range of motion, use support, or try low-impact alternatives until your knee strength improves. ❤️💪
You can do the standing full-body workout as often as you feel comfortable. Adjust the frequency of the standing full-body workout to match your fitness goals and comfort level. Listen to your body, and enjoy the journey! 💪😊
Do you have any alternative exercises for people without ankle use? Sounds weird, but I’m recovering from bilateral ankle reconstruction surgeries ( both in last year). I am dying to work out again and have even thought about buying your program, but thought I would check out your TH-cam to see what your exercises were like. I have only this week been able to stand with weight on both ankles, but still can’t quite walk yet. I have pretty much been in bed for a year. And I pretty much have not been able to work out or walk very well for the last three years. I was a gym rat prior. Btw I’m 53

Great quick workout that got my heart pumping. Thanks for making this video for beginners and mature folks. I am 63 and need to ease into exercising.
You're so welcome!
These are my favorite workouts. Having had a few children, I appreciate not bouncing! Thank you Meredith!
Glad I could help.💞
Yes 🎉 totally agree on the not-bouncing after having babies 😅

Thanks Meredith really good workout n not too long. Love how you put up the next exercise - great idea.

Hi Mere - I'm on your mailing list. I'm 75 and have been away from doing workouts for years, but it feels good to receive your videos - AND..... this title grabbed my attention. I thought - "Hey, maybe I can actually make myself do this!" I moved my computer screen so I could just stand in front of it, put it on full screen. I needed to sieze the opportunity, when I felt able to tackle a workout. I didn't even change out of my jeans and sweater. LOL Since I haven't been doing workouts, I decided to stop at the end of the first round today, to avoid sore muscles ;-)

Gave myself a day in between and this time I was able to easily follow along right to the end! Feels so rewarding. Thanks Mere :-)

Hello Meredith, just wanted to say how much I love this routine. It’s only been a week and I can feel my muscles again, feeling solid and not so wobbly anymore! I am almost 59 and am loving this workout, really appreciate the low impact so not so hard on my knees. Thanks again, I’m a 7 minute believer!
Hello! We're so thrilled to hear about your positive experience with the routine and how it's making a difference for you. Keep up the fantastic work! Your commitment to your fitness journey is truly inspiring. 💪😊
Wow. Incredibly simple but definitely gets the job done. Thank you
You are welcome👏
Love this one Mare!
62...and if any of you are reading this... YOU CAN DO IT!!! Be Kind to yourself..as woman, we have spent far too long being there for everyone else. It's YOUR TURN!
Wow!! Thanks for your encourage🤩 Yes, you can do this😍
Thank you so much for this. Had shoulder surgery in March due to injury and had to deal with that and am now released to EXERCISE!😁
That's awesome news!!🥳
Just wanna say thank you just discovered your workout I'm 59 an way out of shape I need to loose like 75 lbs if not more. So this is great for me right now!! I hope if I continue I will loose something!! Thanks again!!
I'm glad you found the workout and are starting your journey, @dawnprudenti1964! 😍 Stay committed, and you'll definitely start seeing results. You've got this, and I'm cheering you on! 💪😊
Thank you for your great video. I have been doing the 7 minute workout with you for 2-3 months 3-5 times a week. I love your workout. I'm 68 years old and didn't think I could get down on the ground and then back up quickly, but after awhile, it became easier. I get a great workout. I'm out of breath, AND I look much better than I did. I'm really toned up and plan on continuing this program because I feel so much stronger. I actually think it's improving my knee bone-on-bone situation. I'm trying to avoid Another knee replacement. I have told my daughter, my sisters, and my neighbors about your program. I started this program because I read about an elderly Japanese woman who gardens and is quite active. Japanese get up and down from their tables (on the floor) and mats regularly, many times a day due to the design of Japanese homes. I want that mobility.
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey! I'm thrilled to hear about the progress you've made and how the workouts have positively impacted your strength and mobility, especially with your knee situation. Your dedication and commitment are truly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work! 💪❤

That's fantastic to hear!! Best of luck on your journey! You've got this!💪
Great workout, found this after the core one ,which was way too challenging. This is doable, thank you!
Great! Glad I could help😍
That was awesome thank you so much. I am 57 and had a stroke seven years ago and that was perfect for me. Just what I needed awesome.
Amazing! Glad to hear that the workout fits perfectly for you, @kimspear8177! 🤩 Keep pushing past life’s obstacles! You've got this! 💪💕
Thank you, I watch a lot of your videos and your coaches as well, in a lot of the exercises I have problems with because I have ra and I have osteopenia. So coarse my hips and my knees are my big problem. Do you have any exercises I can do without hurting other areas as such? Thank you so much for all you do
No worries there ! You can always modify the exercises but slowing down on the movement, lowering the weight or just swapping out the exercise that’s easier on the body ! As long as you’re moving, you’re making progress💕
Loved this awesome workout. It really got my hear pumping. Thank you Coach Mere. ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome!! Glad you are enjoying the workout💪🤩
Thanks. At this point I feel like I'm having a cardiac moment with even the simplest exercises. But, I got through this.
I'm sure you are feeling so much better at week 3. I'm going to start this tomorrow 🎉
Awesome news🥳 Glad to know that you able to do the workouts fine🤩
Awesome!! You can do this💞
I am 70 and I have just found you. I nope someday to be able to do this workout all the way through, w/o stopping.🤞🏻
Awesome!! I hope you get there soon🤩
Hey Mere, have done the muffin top before, need to resume. I workout daily and on weekends longer, just looking at some different videos, liking this 8minute. Have target 🎯🎯 in mind in my weight loss, lower body, to burn fat. Thanks for all you do
You’re very welcome!🥰
Been doing ur One and Done, 7min, beginner workouts for about 3 wks and have noticed SUCH a diff in my posture! My lower back doesn't hurt and I can reach my feet, to put my socks on again! Thnk u!!
Nice work!
Wow! I was able to do this😊 Thank you for making the moves easy to do and remember. I'm a heart failure patient with short term memory issues and it's like you made this routine with me in mind❤
I'm so glad to hear that you were able to do the routine! Your determination is inspiring, and I'm happy that the moves were accessible for you. Keep up the fantastic work!❤️😊
Please add some more standing incontinence avoidance exercises for us ladies age 39 and holding (or anything except being on the ground). I feel uncomfortable lying on the ground since I live alone and am unsure if I can get up without hurting myself. Also, any ideas on getting better on going up and down stairs, for people like me living in a level-in house? This is key to my work for the Census Field Reps.
Many thanks for your great ideas,
Carol Zischke (San Francisco area ( very chilly these days)

MWF - this one and muffin top, TThS - Full body toning and How to tone arms without weights. Under 20 minutes a day and I'm done. And it is working. Thank you to much!
Glad you're killing it !
This is a great work out for me since I got a bit lazy in the past year. I’m 56 and this workout is just what I need to start out with. I was wondering though, about how many times a day would you recommend this workout?

Thank you Mere, what about a full-body workout for ladies with osteoporosis

Love this! Question though, when I do the hip rotations I get a click in my spine above my waist, is that dangerous? Its not painful, just annoying. Is there a different hip excercise i can do in place of this one?
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the workout!🥰 It’s not uncommon to experience clicking in your spine during hip rotations, and it’s generally not a concern if it’s not painful. If it’s bothersome, you might try sitting on a chair and extending one leg straight out, then lowering it back down, alternating legs. If the clicking persists or becomes painful, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.🩺 Keep up the great work @kristinehobson8797!💪🏻
I've been doing low carb 80% often time as well as intermittent fasting for some time, but I definitely feel I've seen a difference in how my clothes fit and I believe its bcz of this workout... I try to do it every other day...
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mer, Nana Vic 70 here again! This is awesome, I am actually seeing core improvement! Thank you, Thank you for your motivational coaching I really need the "Pull in that Belly button" and "relax those shoulders, look at me" Could you send out something to help the 'Old lady stand" (you know when shoulders want to bend forward? Thank you so much! God bless you
Wonderful! Do keep a look out for more workout videos🤩
I'm baaacckkk.... I missed the last 2 days. I wasn't feeling so good. I took it easy on the lunges. Overall this was a great workout. Thank you and please keep the workouts coming ❤
Welcome back, @kuiipoluokalani2471! 🎉 Don't worry about missing a couple of days, it's important to listen to your body and take it easy when needed. Glad to hear you enjoyed the workout! Keep up the fantastic effort, and more workouts are on the way! 💪❤️
I purchased your program awhile back but i find using these youtube video's easier. Thank you. Doing just 7 mins a day is efficient for seeing results? I recall in your program you saying something about adding more to that time or perhaps more than once a day but its been awhile so I cannot remember.
First of all, remember CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Beginners, aim for 2-3 days per week - working your way up😊 For intermediate, 3-4 days per week. It’s important to exercise different parts of your body! I recommend alternating between days & sections of your body. For example, one day focus on upper body (arms, back, chest), another day focus on lower body (legs, glutes), then another day you can focus on your core or cardio! If you want to target a specific area such as knee fat, love handles, bat wings, etc… you can always add a quick body specific exercise at the end of any workout as a finisher! We have them ALL here on our channel. Just do a quick word search for what you’re looking for. Hope this helps💜
I appreciate your response and I understand the need for consistency etc...but as I work up the amount of days, am I always just doing the 7 minutes? Is 7 minutes enough on those workout days or should the time increase also? Or even more than one 7 minute session a day??
Love the standing workout. Great, Great!!!!
I'm so glad to hear that you loved the standing workout! It's fantastic that you enjoyed it. 💪😊
Good morning it's awesome workout 💪 .l enjoyed it thank you ❤️
You're so welcome!💜
Loved this! Thank you so much!
My pleasure!!😍
I’m a cancer survivor for the second time. Just getting back into exercising. I’m 69 years old and until cancer, I was very active. I’ve endured radiation and chemo. This workout was hard on my knees. I just pushed through it. Will these exercises be good for me as I start out slow?
Hey Patricia! 👋 I'm so glad to hear that you're getting back into exercising after your cancer journey. You're amazing! 💪 Since you've experienced knee problems, I would recommend trying out our standing workouts th-cam.com/play/PLuXYeD0GQBnd6jLWzFCjolTjy63Exdtb3.html. They can be a great option for you as you start out slow and take care of your knees. Remember to listen to your body and modify any exercises if needed. You've got this! 💕
Is exercise before bed a good idea? Love your videos

So is this body weight bearing exercises ir no just low impact cardio and core strengthening. So I could do these on MWF instead of walking. Great for overall body strengthening!
Yes, you can, @gingercameronfordcrouch7057! Just remember to always listen to your body! 💪
I love this workout!
So glad! You like it💪💞

@Meredith could you create a playlist with the suggestion above. I find myself trying a whole bunch of videos and not committing to any definite routine since you have so many. I’d love to see your suggestion for a weekly routine. Thank you!!
@Arcadi0 I would love this as well. Just give me a plan so that takes the stress out of looking for what to do each day.😊
👍 gracias
¡De nada! 💞
Greetings!! from the UK. Would it be even more beneficial with dumbells? And how many times of week is advisable? Thank you.
As long as you feel comfortable and able, yes! Any kind of activity is good for you and especially when it comes to working on every part of your body. I do suggest you take at least 1-2 rest days per week for your body to recover .
Wow that was great surprised myself 😊
That's fantastic, @pouringwithrobyn4365! Keep up the amazing work! 😊🤩
Great stretch for the body!
I'm thrilled that this workout have you relaxation, @jessicaramos2804! 🥰 Keep it up! 💪💕
This is such a great workout!❤
Glad you like it!💞

Awesome! Yes she is😍

Do we do these everyday or every 2 or 3 days orv how often? I'm 58 yo female unaligned spine and hips and some other isssues.
Hello, @gingercameronfordcrouch7057! I always recommend talking to your doctor or PT before trying any new exercise so you can do what’s best for you! ☺
As long as you feel comfortable and able, yes! Any kind of activity is good for you and especially when it comes to working on every part of your body. I do suggest you take at least 1-2 rest days per week so your muscle fibers can rest and recover. 💪
So I have been walking MWF but now and then throw in one of these a few of those walking days. Very doable I take it as easy as I can. Will work my way to building up mote strength eep in my back and hips hopefully this works glutes and pelvic strength too. So needed at my age and fitness level needs working up so. I am working on it. Definitely need muscle building/fat loss atm.
How many times a day or week should I do these?

@Meredith--What do I need to do to strengthen my knees they lock up yikes with the side lunges oh boy?
To strengthen your knees, focus on exercises that target the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, such as squats, lunges, and leg curls, while incorporating mobility work like stretching and foam rolling. If side lunges cause discomfort, reduce range of motion, use support, or try low-impact alternatives until your knee strength improves. ❤️💪

💙💛
How often in a week?
You can do the standing full-body workout as often as you feel comfortable. Adjust the frequency of the standing full-body workout to match your fitness goals and comfort level. Listen to your body, and enjoy the journey! 💪😊
Do you have any alternative exercises for people without ankle use? Sounds weird, but I’m recovering from bilateral ankle reconstruction surgeries ( both in last year). I am dying to work out again and have even thought about buying your program, but thought I would check out your TH-cam to see what your exercises were like. I have only this week been able to stand with weight on both ankles, but still can’t quite walk yet. I have pretty much been in bed for a year. And I pretty much have not been able to work out or walk very well for the last three years. I was a gym rat prior. Btw I’m 53
Hey there!! Wishing you a quick recovery❤️ I have several seated workouts you could try👉 th-cam.com/play/PLuXYeD0GQBndUMx_lIWAM_kwnrdVgjRJX.html
