I just turned 61 in 2023 and have been putting off heavy workouts for years but used to be pretty built from high school into my 20s and 30s, hit the gym throughout the years. I always try to stay active by hiking and walking and playing music, But I finally jumped on the scale after a long time and realize oh my God what happened I found some of your videos and I am starting to work out and I have a new positive outlook and a new destiny to get rid of that gut forever. Thank you so much.
Went on the scales yesterday and wasn't happy, 260 pounds. I'm 62 years old from Wales in the UK. Former Rugby player. I've just asked to join your Facebook group. I'm going to give this a real go. Thank you.
I was a good athlete growing up, was on 3 sports teams in HS and played ball under the lamp posts in the streets in South Brooklyn. As a senior, all of that is behind me. I still do my walking, but even that has tailed off. I’m going to give your dumbbell routine a try and see how it goes. I used to go to the gym not too many years ago. Perhaps it’s time to get going. I needed this wake up call. Wish me luck, and thanks for this very fine video!
I’m going to be 50 in 2024 Starting keto and IF on 1/1/24. Hope to get under 200lbs, or lose 75-80lbs total. I will try to incorporate some/all of these exercises in my new routine/lifestyle Thanks for the helpful tips! 😊
Good one Mark... I'm 80 and got back in to training in association with Knee surgery. I'm doing more leg exercises and have a bench, but I use dumbbells, ankle weights, and elastic bands. Your routine covers most of the muscle groups.. A very good quick routine to stay in shape. Thanks, Eddie
I’m 67 did this first workout 2 mornings ago been long time since I worked out lost muscle n depressing how weak I got on some of these exercises but I’m going to stick with it Thanks mark!
I'm 72 and in the Same Boat. I stopped working out with weights in 2016 after getting a Superficial Vein Thrombosis. To be honest, I was slowing down the workouts earlier. I didn't start to workout until 1996 at 45 years old. Over that course of time, I went from 0 to a 5 (?) in the 1st 6-9 months. I could feel it and see it in my body. Then Plateaus were hit and progress slowed. But I worked out at Home (Bench, Weights, Universal, barbells & Dumbells) all those years. I suffer with Spinal Arthritis which has erupted big time since about 2012. But I perservered with the workouts. I languished with the workouts since 2016 and in the past 6 months or so, started to re-commence with weights and some aerobics too. I'm trying to Get Thru the Arthritic chronic pains and stiffness (which erupted into Fibromyalgia - muscle and joint pains body wide), taking numerous Supplements to try to curtail the progression and started the light workouts. I'm going to try this recommended Circuit (which is right out of the Training Bible) with light Weights. Good Luck to You!!
As we get older, our bodies start to disintegrate faster w/o regular exercise. I'm 61 and retired. I have been fairly sedentary for the past few years. I have found myself struggling to lift and move items in my garage that I had no problems hefting around when I was 58!! It happens to everyone, I guess, but I was surprised. (I said "struggling"... I actually could NOT lift a couple of the bigger items!) I am slowly getting some of my strength back; I hope you don't give up and keep exercising regularly. We'll never be where we were in our 20's, but we can be MUCH stronger and healthier than we are now.
@@Marty1857At 62 I still lift several times a week and, except for a hiatus for my shoulder replacement, I’ve never stopped. Still I find that I have lost just overall strength I once had. If I didn’t workout I think I’d be weak as a kitten!
I recently had bariatric surgery and have lost 80+ pounds so far. Followed this workout today for the first time to get myself started. Thanks for the video!
turned 60 in July. In the gym off and on since i joined the Army at 18. Have to say that my muscle gains are very difficult and require HIIT level intensity.... changing the workout constantly is important since our bodies are designed to adapt QUICKLY!
Hi Mark , I’m 70 this year haven’t trained for ages due to COVID and shoulder injury. Just saw your video and I’m now inspired to get back into training. Thanks for getting rid of my apathy and getting me back into exercise. I love the fact that you can work at your own level and you don’t have to go to the gym. Thanks. 9:47 Australian Eastcoast time.
Kudos on the great workout! I was doing a workout of my own design for over a year and hated it and the results were not evident. Adopted your routine outlined here and added a little to it Upped the reps as I could and added 125 reps with a ab wheel and upped the cycle cross crunches to 125 reps also. I love it and it only takes me 20-25 minutes a day. After Two months of this workout daily the results are starting to show. The only other exercise I get are daily walks from 3-6 miles a day. I feel like I am getting all the exercise I need and look forward to this workout every morning! Thank you.
wow thank you so much this is the best video i've watched yet regarding exercise for my age group ,i'm 63 this year simple exercises explained well and by someone older ,thank you so much a great inspiration
First time viewer. I hit play on this as I'm cooking - background stuff... An easy Like, Subscribe, Notifications and a comment for the creators.. BRILLIANT! I have not looked at your 'about' or read comments as I usually do before subscribing but looking at you - and watcing you DO the workout (first set) has me absolutely sold! Thank you so much. I will be returning. I'm late 60's have always been healthy and had work-muscle but wasn't in 'good shape'. Six years ago I lost my home, made a big RV work out but got depressed and lost a lot of mobility and range of motion. I've had an IBD condition 30+ years but my health dramatically improved when I discovered I am highly gluten intollerant. I lost 35 lbs without trying once I stopped poisoning myself. But I did fall into a rut and thanks to this episode - I'm going to fix that. So - thank you in advance! I've seen a bunch of videos from B&B but their routines and exercises seem way too lame - - and, their primary focus seems to be shilling product... Thanks!
Would you suggest a muscle warmup exercise prior to doing these weight lifting circuits, like perhaps jumping jacks, just to get the blood moving throughout the body and especially to the muscle groups? I have heard that working out cold can lead to injuries. I do love how you explain everything through this short circuit workout…the length of rest and what it should be like, the proper form through the movements…you don’t leave much of anything open or left to questions!
Hey Mark, I just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm a very busy person myself and I need to find time to do things that are important to me that takes priority. Again, thank you and greatly appreciate it.
Excellent video - thanks for putting it together. I combine the squat and overhead press - hold the weights above the shoulders, squat, come back to standing, extend weights above shoulder, bring them back down.
Thank you. I am 70, have a job that rewuires me to be fit. I used to weight train years ago. This makes me want to feel those burns again. I love the routine you have set and keeping form is especially important now as I age. By the way, what are the dumbells you use? Again, thank you.
I am 59 and this is an awesome option, as I am still working out like I did when I started 12 years ago, and just want to maintain what I currently have. Thanks!
I am 70 and trying to work out, I have run a good portion of my life and realize that is to hard on my body anymore and I believe it is counter productive to get that out of breath for a little over an hour. I was running 3-4 times a week so 22.5 -30 miles in an hour to an to 70 minutes going 7.5 miles. My knees just can't take it anymore. I liked what I saw....thank you! Dave
66 next month, and this is the workout I need. Being a runner, I'm in decent cardiovascular shape, but no ass and scrawny arms, and know with each passing year it will be tougher to maintain/gain muscle mass. Thanks for all you do.
This is wonderful. I started this workout immediately and am confident that I can do this consistently. I would like to learn how to add to this baseline.
Nice video for those of us over 60. Could you make a video though for those who have lower back pain problems so they are not affected by the exersize menu?? Thank you
49 year old male here. I am a person that used to live at the gym. I do all these exercises. I recommend them all with 1 exception and that is the skullcrushers for the triceps. These do work great but picking the wrong weights on this can give you tennis elbow quickly. Stay away from skullcrushers or go absurdly light doing this exercise. Good luck.
I would add watch the bench presses too. I'm 72 with Spinal Ailments aplenty including Stenosis , and Arthritis in the vertebrae and facet joints. I'm now trying to re-commence weight lifting in this recommended mode in light circuits. I only started to workout in 1996 , at 45 yo. Other than doing occassional running before that, I was in poor shape with muscle tone. But as I progressed back then ( once you past DOMS in the first few weeks of training), i steadily increased the weights. i trained both at a "Y " and then at home as I aquired equipment. Then I started to Overtrain and increased the weights on the bench with Barbells and Dumbells, that's when i hurt my right shoulder which has not been the same for 20 years. Last tip, Take care of your Neck !! Support it properly .
Mark, I'm 72. Been doing this workout 3 days a week & cardio the other 3 w/1 day off. Great workout. I'm surprised at how much this taxes the muscles and the respiration.
As a 73 year old college and pro football player I’ve been using only band workouts but after giving this a try it will become incorporated in my workouts. I got away from weights but band just don’t fatigue the muscle the way free weight do! I’m remembering that feeling after completing the 2nd circuit!
I love it bro, I'm 63 just got 2dumbbells 5kg and 7kg ha ha ye wee step s. I started 4 months ago struggled on 5kg now on 7 kg going to have buy 10s now. Only do about 20 MI 3x a week walk every day 2 kg. I built a basic bench from recycled pallets no sponge but it works. I'm amazed at my strength now not building just big reaps and when gets easy I go slow. I'm 63 and lost 25kg doing low carb keto. I'm insulin intolerant so I have to be careful of my carbs but thank you brother,.
Thank you, I can associate with these 7 exercises to add to my walking and cycling routine! I have been overweight at 94,5kg, visit a dietitian for the past two years and my weight is now 77,4kg. However my muscle mass has also decreased so hopefully with an increase in protein intake together with these exercises I hope to start having an increase in my skeletal muscle mass, me now 66 years old, and height 179cm.
I'm 60 and retiring this month. Been a delivery driver for 30 years so I'm in decent shape from the lifting and walking but have noticed that its easier to pull something when lifting something heavy 0:03 . Im definitely not advanced but I noticed that I could easily do more reps so I need heavier weight for most of the exercises. Gonna try to get a jump on it. I don't want to be a couch potato when I retire.
Awesome!! That looks like a great set of exercises to do in the living room! My wife started a new job and my new Mr. Mom role is making it hard for me to get to the gym.
this is a perfect Sunday Morning workout for at Home and not go to the gym. I am in the process of purchasing some adjustable dumbbells ...can't wait to start mixing up home and gym i just feel the variety will help keep me going although I am loving going to the gym right now
I'm 57 years old had hip replacement 2 hernias and active job but since having a high cholesterol and a bit of weight I've been looking at different exercise routines and can't do them to long and don't want to go to gym want something that will suit me and I've finally found it that u so much
Hey Mark, Thank you for helping all of us. Have you ever thought you might be saving someone's life? Or a lot of people's lives? Not feeling the workout video's with other channels, so I'm super Jazzed as I am sure other older fella's like myself are to have found your channel. Now 65 so here's my deal. NEVER worked out. Worked in a wood shop and moved a lot of equipment around. Sheets of wood. Heavy speakers. But never any consistent weekly work out ever. What you just showed me, was something I believe I can do. So I want to tell you. I'm in! I'm committed to your facebook and work out. I'm going to hang out with you and "a bunch of nice guys". Everyone should at least pay you a thumbs up and subscribe. Most importantly to myself is that you really do seem to be a decent guy, that's sharing your path of good health with others. Again, thank you for helping all of us.
I’m 78 years old and my work outs started about two years ago and are still going strong. I got on a healthier path. I started at 265lbs .today I’m 212.0 lbs . Thinking about joining a gym to get in my best shape? What do you guys think?
Mark, . . .Thank you so much for taking the time to put this workout together and your patient explanation on every exercise ! This is a workout that i could do every day depending on recovery needs ! Great video !
That’s the old school mentality feeling the muscle contract bringing back the muscle memory and feeling the progress going forward it’s something I’ve always believed in and after I finish playing competitive sports I got away from Whit Room. I’m going back into it today.
Really enjoying this video, Mark. Been doing it every other day for a couple of weeks now. Appreciate you sharing and putting in the time to show how it's done. Hope it's ok to ask - what type of adjustable dumbbells are you using?
I’m 54 and This is an awesome workout to do on my off days from the gym. Thank you for this! Btw, where did you get those adjustable dumb bell set? Thanks again
Hi Guys, this sounds like a great source of information I need. I appreciate this. QUESTION : I am 76, I had a heart attack 10 months ago, they put 4 stents in my heart, 1. what exercises if any do I need to stay clear of 2. what do I need to be aware of as to exercise difficulty I thank you, Ian Beattie
Used to do lots of weight training years ago, gave that up for simple push ups. leg work is a compound exercise of squat+heel raise. with or without weight. (backpack with 2lt water bottles X4.)
Thank you Mark for this excellent demo. I am seventy six and trying to build up muscle density I lost when I got Covid. I am not able to do lots of sets or heavy weights any more also my time is limited..will try your method. Do you do it every day or every other day?
At 71, I do the same workout with loop bands (not the bands Mark uses) and get the same or better workout. If you have injuries bands are better. Plus bands can be carried with you anywhere and you can workout anywhere. If you want to take it a higher level, you can do specific chest, back, arms, shoulders and leg workouts which are much better than us in weights. By the way, specifically shoulder exercises with bands are way better. After a lifetime of using dumbbells, I am now totally sold on bands.
Happy to see some stuff here...will NEVER have Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or... whatever. YT is already full of too many ads -i try to skip them all- and people trying to push stuff, not the way it used to be for sure.
Apparently he doesn't know. I'm a senior myself. Warm up exercises should involve the exercises that you're going to do but without the weights. However, physio/physical therapists recommend seniors do suspension training, as it's easier on the joints. Look up Bob and Brad on TH-cam
Wish I could find a video for people with neck and lower back fusion to do for building muscle mass back I'm 66 and wasting away I try to work with a dumb bell i can handle it just isn't enough. Great video by the way thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I am 61 years old and have lost 92 lbs in the past year by eliminating added sugars and keeping daily carbs intake to less than 120 grams. I am 6’0” and currently weighing 202 lbs. Unfortunately, the weight loss also resulted in muscle loss. This exercise circuit is great for me.
Mark- Just discovered your channel but this looks practical and fuss free so will be trying your routine this morning and joining your FB community.🏋♀️ PS...Reassuring to see such a well stocked bar in the background😂🥂
Great work outs for us unfit older people namely me lol , not sure if I missed something but just wanted to know how often should I do these exercises ? , ie ever day or alternate days like every second or third day if I’m sore.
These are great. I believe that now that I am over 60, what is important is "Functional" strength and "Consistent" workouts. This workout hits the nail on the head!! At my age, if I can pick a weight that I can work consistently, without pain that will interrupt a daily workout, I will see results in 30 days. And that is good !! Thanks for this!!
It is recommended by physio/physical therapists that seniors do suspension training. It is better on the joints. This guy has been bodybuilding for decades.
Might I ask…details on that awesome looking set of adjustable dumb bells? They look like regular dumb bells in your hands and very comfortable…which is awesome.
Mark, about what dumbell weight do you suggest for a start? I'm a 66 year old novice/intermediate guy. I was heavy into power lifting and body building in my teens and 20's but now my goals are health and fitness.

For people 60+, physio/physical therapists recommend suspension training. It is easier on the joints, plus you develop balance.
Iam 80 work out with heavy wts, now have gone to light wts. Do more excercises and enjoy my workouts
I’m 96 and still squat 650.
I'd like to see that
Ex Canadian military… have had a lot of injuries so this will be good! 233 now 6’1” fighting weight 200-10 for the shred. Like to go 195. Thanks buds.
Dam ice hockey 40 plus years right hip socket starting to catch within the fossa. Hoping these squats can help.
66 next month, and this is the workout I need. Being a runner, I'm in decent cardiovascular shape, but no ass and scrawny arms, and know with each passing year it will be tougher to maintain/gain muscle mass.

Great workout Mark! I just worked through it and feel great about it. How many days per week it should be done? Thanks Mark.
Thank you for all the detailed insight. That must be hard work, and a work of love. 😊
Nice video for those of us over 60. Could you make a video though for those who have lower back pain problems so they are not affected by the exersize menu?? Thank you

You also put your tricep tendons at risk for strain or tear.
This happened to me. So painful.
You should do suspension training instead. It's highly recommended by physical therapists

Been a delivery driver for 30 years so I'm in decent shape from the lifting and walking but have noticed that its easier to pull something when lifting something heavy 0:03 . Im definitely not advanced but I noticed that I could easily do more reps so I need heavier weight for most of the exercises. Gonna try to get a jump on it. I don't want to be a couch potato when I retire.
Awesome!! That looks like a great set of exercises to do in the living room! My wife started a new job and my new Mr. Mom role is making it hard for me to get to the gym.
this is a perfect Sunday Morning workout for at Home and not go to the gym. I am in the process of purchasing some adjustable dumbbells ...can't wait to start mixing up home and gym i just feel the variety will help keep me going although I am loving going to the gym right now
Thanks will try this workout soon.
Love your lliqour collection on the counter. 😊
Great group of exercises Mark. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 57 years old had hip replacement 2 hernias and active job but since having a high cholesterol and a bit of weight I've been looking at different exercise routines and can't do them to long and don't want to go to gym want something that will suit me and I've finally found it that u so much
Hey Mark, Thank you for helping all of us. Have you ever thought you might be saving someone's life? Or a lot of people's lives? Not feeling the workout video's with other channels, so I'm super Jazzed as I am sure other older fella's like myself are to have found your channel. Now 65 so here's my deal. NEVER worked out. Worked in a wood shop and moved a lot of equipment around. Sheets of wood. Heavy speakers. But never any consistent weekly work out ever. What you just showed me, was something I believe I can do. So I want to tell you. I'm in! I'm committed to your facebook and work out. I'm going to hang out with you and "a bunch of nice guys". Everyone should at least pay you a thumbs up and subscribe. Most importantly to myself is that you really do seem to be a decent guy, that's sharing your path of good health with others. Again, thank you for helping all of us.
Love the bar in the background 🍹!
This is exactly what I need and am looking for! Thanks!
No ya don’t.
Mark thank you for all your tips I’m 61 and I’m committed to get in shape !!!! Can I do this routine 2 or 3 times a week ? What do you recommend
I’m 78 years old and my work outs started about two years ago and are still going strong. I got on a healthier path. I started at 265lbs .today I’m 212.0 lbs . Thinking about joining a gym to get in my best shape? What do you guys think?
Mark, . . .Thank you so much for taking the time to put this workout together and your patient explanation on every exercise ! This is a workout that i could do every day depending on recovery needs ! Great video !
and the bar is looking well stocked !
That is lunch after the workout 😂
Thank you Mr. President
I thought the same thing. No doubt he could do a great dubya impersonation.
That’s the old school mentality feeling the muscle contract bringing back the muscle memory and feeling the progress going forward it’s something I’ve always believed in and after I finish playing competitive sports I got away from Whit Room. I’m going back into it today.
Thank you so much.
Love this guy ❤ he always makes sense
Those Core Fitness dumbbells are the best. I love my set.
Hello Mark ... Thanks for the post and what you do. Is this a daily workout?
Excellent Video, if I may ask. What Adjustable dumbells do you use?
Terrific.Please can you say which dumbells you use ? One of the best workouts I've came across.Thank you very much.
Love your tutorial, Sir....
thank you sir you really motivated me that is a great routine to follow
Really enjoying this video, Mark. Been doing it every other day for a couple of weeks now. Appreciate you sharing and putting in the time to show how it's done. Hope it's ok to ask - what type of adjustable dumbbells are you using?
I’m 54 and This is an awesome workout to do on my off days from the gym. Thank you for this! Btw, where did you get those adjustable dumb bell set? Thanks again
😂
Hi Guys, this sounds like a great source of information I need. I appreciate this. QUESTION : I am 76, I had a heart attack 10 months ago, they put 4 stents in my heart,
1. what exercises if any do I need to stay clear of
2. what do I need to be aware of as to exercise difficulty
I thank you,
Ian Beattie
Used to do lots of weight training years ago, gave that up for simple push ups. leg work is a compound exercise of squat+heel raise. with or without weight. (backpack with 2lt water bottles X4.)
Thank you Mark for this excellent demo. I am seventy six and trying to build up muscle density I lost when I got Covid. I am not able to do lots of sets or heavy weights any more also my time is limited..will try your method. Do you do it every day or every other day?
This looks like a good quick workout. No excuses not to get up 15 minutes early and fit this into a busy schedule for those still working!

I'm gonna try that. It's a start.
Thank you for your videos
Thanks Mark for another simple, practical and effective workout routine. Loved your smart cardio and other circuit style routines.
I have thought about joining a gym membership payed by my health insurance company. What is the consensus from the group I’m talking to?
Very grateful for this video
At 71, I do the same workout with loop bands (not the bands Mark uses) and get the same or better workout. If you have injuries bands are better. Plus bands can be carried with you anywhere and you can workout anywhere. If you want to take it a higher level, you can do specific chest, back, arms, shoulders and leg workouts which are much better than us in weights. By the way, specifically shoulder exercises with bands are way better. After a lifetime of using dumbbells, I am now totally sold on bands.
Not sure if anybody mentioned it earlier but it is good to see a gym with a well stocked bar.
Happy to see some stuff here...will NEVER have Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or... whatever. YT is already full of too many ads -i try to skip them all- and people trying to push stuff, not the way it used to be for sure.
Gr8 video, I enjoyed watching it while I drank 15 pints of English Real Ale. I'd like to give it a try, but I can barely stand up now.
Thanks for this!
Excelente contenido, gracias!!
hi just subscribed and was wondering what warm up and cool downs do you do im 63 and looking to start. great video
Apparently he doesn't know. I'm a senior myself. Warm up exercises should involve the exercises that you're going to do but without the weights.
However, physio/physical therapists recommend seniors do suspension training, as it's easier on the joints. Look up Bob and Brad on TH-cam
Really very good exercise!
Thanks
Great Video Dubya..😎💪
Wish I could find a video for people with neck and lower back fusion to do for building muscle mass back I'm 66 and wasting away I try to work with a dumb bell i can handle it just isn't enough. Great video by the way thanks for the encouragement.
Good work! Thank you.
Thanks very much!
starting it! 60 and want to get in better shape!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I am 61 years old and have lost 92 lbs in the past year by eliminating added sugars and keeping daily carbs intake to less than 120 grams. I am 6’0” and currently weighing 202 lbs. Unfortunately, the weight loss also resulted in muscle loss. This exercise circuit is great for me.
Great stuff... Thank you!
Will try this after my 2 mile walk, also group the two "floor" exercises while I'm down there...LOL
Thanks, Mark,
Share with everyone how many drugs you are on.
thank you will try this
Mark- Just discovered your channel but this looks practical and fuss free so will be trying your routine this morning and joining your FB community.🏋♀️
PS...Reassuring to see such a well stocked bar in the background😂🥂
That was awesome thanks 👍
Great work outs for us unfit older people namely me lol , not sure if I missed something but just wanted to know how often should I do these exercises ? , ie ever day or alternate days like every second or third day if I’m sore.
I see he doesn't answer questions here. That's a bummer. I would like to know the same thing.
These are great. I believe that now that I am over 60, what is important is "Functional" strength and "Consistent" workouts. This workout hits the nail on the head!!
At my age, if I can pick a weight that I can work consistently, without pain that will interrupt a daily workout, I will see results in 30 days. And that is good !!
Thanks for this!!
It is recommended by physio/physical therapists that seniors do suspension training. It is better on the joints. This guy has been bodybuilding for decades.
Very good Sir
Might I ask…details on that awesome looking set of adjustable dumb bells? They look like regular dumb bells in your hands and very comfortable…which is awesome.
Thank you!
Love the bar!!
A real and precious workout channel for men over 60. Thanks!
Time to change up my workout routine, so I will be doing this workout. FYI, you only did 9-1/2 bicycle cross crunches.😉😁
Mark! I really love your programmes, but I think you should add calf raises to this workout!😊 A bit too top heavy? What do you think?
Absolutely.
Me too and maybe another ab exercise too
Mark, about what dumbell weight do you suggest for a start? I'm a 66 year old novice/intermediate guy. I was heavy into power lifting and body building in my teens and 20's but now my goals are health and fitness.
pick a weight that is difficult to do (with good form) for the prescribed number of reps. It's different for everyone and different for every exercise
