Full Body Isometric Strength Workout for Beginners & Seniors // All Standing & Knee Friendly
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ย. 2024
- Please join me and try this new strength workout! This video will be a different challenge for you because it focuses on isometric exercises. An isometric exercise is when we hold the weight in a static position so the muscle stays contracted. It's a great way to work our muscles in a different and functional way. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Go at your own pace. We have 40 seconds of work, 10 seconds of isometric hold, followed by 10 seconds of rest.
For demonstration purposes, I'm using a set of 5 pound hand weights. Feel free to go lighter or heavier based on your abilities.
Want more of a challenge or see strength gains sooner? I strongly encourage you do this workout twice through. A second set would really accelerate your results. Warm up and cool down are included in this workout. The strength portion is exactly 15 minutes. Do it twice for a 30 minute workout!
Osteoporosis friendly! This video is perfect for strength training for seniors with osteoporosis. There are no movements that include rounding of the spine or twisting the back and the strength training is perfect to build muscle mass and bone density!
Grab a chair to serve as a base of support for a few of the exercises.
The entire full body workout is performed in a standing position.

I'm 72 and was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis. I've been doing your workouts for about a year, and love the variety, and the focus on exercises that strengthen both our muscles and our bones. Some days I do a cardio workout, some days I do strength training. I've tried other presenters' workouts, but I always come back to yours. You're the best!
thank you, I appreciate that! Keep up the great work, and lets try to reverse that osteoporosis :)
She sure is the best!
@@SeniorShapeFitnessYes Lauren! good advice for her recent Osteoporosis diagnosis! I was just reading Dr Ken Berry's latest video on reversing this condition,, (Osteoporosis) it's on YT like you are Lauren! i follow you both😀👀👀👀❤️❤️❤️
Do you know what I enjoy about your workouts? is that they are calm! Even though I've left my fitness slide a lot & I've been on a heck of a journey, I'm craving lower impact, calm workouts. I don't want insane music & intensity anymore. I appreciate even though some of your workouts are sneaky tough, they're still calm and I feel like I actually WANT to workout. I deffo want to lift heavier a couple of times a week but the other days, I want something calm and more flowing if that makes sense. Much love to you xxx
Great to hear! That definitely makes sense and it makes me happy to hear it. That is my wish and hope for everyone that they get to the point where you want to work out. Our bodies actually crave it. Yay!
i hear ya! ✌🏾
Really enjoying these isometric workouts. I didn't think 10 seconds was a long time until I started doing these 😂
Right? Those weights get heavy fast :)
Believe me I had try plenty of workouts and always come back with Lauren, for me it’s the one that fits better. She is awesome, she explains every move.
Thanks so much Lorena, I appreciate that!!
Another great full body strength workout - I'll try 2 rounds next time! Loving using weights after completing a short cardio workout beforehand. I can honestly say that at 66 I'm fitter than I have ever been! And now have a programme of 3 strength workouts weekly, alongside the cycling , walking and cardio workouts. I am sure that there are many other subscribers in the same position so thanks for all your great, high quality content, there really is something for everyone! X
Fabulous Liz, thanks for the update! So glad you are doing well and enjoyed this new workout :)
I love the calm and peacefulness of your workouts.
Thanks Patricia, glad you are enjoying them :)
I am not a senior (37 yrs old) but I enjoy your workouts! They are fun🥳
thanks! so glad you think my workouts are fun!
You are in the right place, only about half of my viewers are seniors :)
My husband found this video and said I'd like you. He knows that I'm not super strong, and I resist the workouts he's chosen for me to do before, since they're basically impossible! And/or too much for me. I do need to strengthen my core and get more cardio workouts. Everything needs help! So, I'm going to try more of your videos. This one wasn't too hard, but shows me where I'm weak. Yikes. I'm 61. I walk a lot, but that's about it. Thank you for this video. I'll replay it now and go again! I hope I can stick with this. I have always had a weak lower back. It is sort of swayed out a lot at the bottom of my spine, so I've never felt comfortable; I always tuck my pelvis in when I stand or walk. So... we'll see how it goes. I better not quit trying! Today marks day one. My hips feel sore already just from what I did here! I guess I'm in poor shape. Could be worse. Day 1. Can't give up yet! Lol Thanks again.
Good for you Linda! This is a great start. I'm so happy to have you working out with me :)
I absolutely loved this workout! Thanks for being here for us!!
You're so welcome! I'm Thrilled you love it Diane :)
I am doing this for the past few weeks , I find my neck and arm pain and mobility has improved so much thank you for the videos Patricia
Great to hear Patricia! This would be a good video for you mobility and neck pain: th-cam.com/video/abe70PLs2vA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you dear Lauren for a really awesome sweaty workout, feeling great with your clear instructions guiding us all the way
You are most welcome Helen :)
At 67, I knew i needed to be doing more than my daily walks. This was a great way to start. Used 3lb weights and 1 rep. Hope to increase reps and weights as well as follow all your posted workouts . It was very helpful to see proper posture from different angles and enjoy your calm approach. Thank you so much!
Good for you Donna! I would also recommend this workout, as it covers the basics: th-cam.com/video/kw8glOGJEgo/w-d-xo.html
@ Thank you - I’ll give it a try tomorrow!
Thanks Lauren for the wonderful workout. I can really feel it working - would love to do more like this ❤😊you do a great job of talking us through the exercise too - making sure our form is correct. Thanks again
My pleasure Jenny! Happy to hear you got a good workout :)
Yet another great workout! There's a variety of workouts you offer in your videos especially for seniors and not so senior. I love the gentle reminders during the session. So much fun and I feel good after each workout .
Thanks so much Winnie! Great to hear that you feel good after my workouts :)
Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and to my amazement found you when searching for safe weight workouts. Love the isometric addition. I’m now an avid fan and follower. Thank you!! 🙏 🤗🥰
So glad you found me Cindy! Make sure to check out my playlist that has all of my osteoporosis friendly workouts listed so you can easily find them :)
You can also do my other workouts, just make sure you avoid rounding your back and twisting your spine.
We loved it, more like this please. Greetings from England. God bless you.
Glad you guys loved it Les! Here is another recommendation for you: th-cam.com/video/J0avxOY61ZU/w-d-xo.html

I'm thrilled you got a great workout :)
Love, love, love this workout Lauren! Great for the entire body! Love all your videos and content! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
New interesting workout! Very light, but still effective. I didn't think 10 seconds of exposure was that effective; The muscle tension was very noticeable. Thank you so much Lauren! We wish you a wonderful week!❤❤❤❤❤😊
Happy to hear you got a good workout! Hop you have a wonderful week as well :)
A very enjoyable workout! Moreover, it is very useful. I recently learned that research has been conducted and it has been found that the most effective exercises for lowering blood pressure are isometric exercises. Thank you very much, Lauren, for a very good channel with the most useful exercises! I will be very glad if new workouts with isometric exercises appear on the channel.❤❤❤❤❤😊@@SeniorShapeFitness
That was an amazing workout! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved it!! Did it twice and I am feeling great!! Thank you!

I did this workout last night after a 10-hour hospital shift. Loved it! Ache today in muscles that needed a wakeup call. Love THAT, too. ❤
You are a fabulous little drill sergeant! Your cues are spot on.

I just loved that workout, it pushed me a bit but now I am nicely warm and tired. If possible, please give us more of that kind! Many thanks!
I'm thrilled you loved it! Did you do last months isometric workout? th-cam.com/video/EZlF5_Je0YE/w-d-xo.html
This was perfect - loved it!!
Yay! Thank you 🤩
Didn't see the first video but this was quite a workout for this oldster! Love how calm you are and how gently you walk us through it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been doing your various workouts for several months and find there is always a new one to try. Keeps me engaged. The isometrics are very good to add to the usual cardio I do. I can tell I'm getting stronger and moving up the weights with a mix of 2.5 and 5# . Shoulder issues are resolving and I have much more range now. Thank you, Lauren!
Wow! That is great to hear Tatiana! Keep up the great work :)
Another awesome workout! Keep these isometric workouts coming! Thank you Lauren
You bet! So glad you got an awesome workout :)
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!!!! Yes please, may I have another😊
Yay! I'm thrilled you love it Julie :)
Thank you for this workout. I was hoping for another isometric workout after the first one.
Great! I received so many requests for another one :)
I love your workouts. I am suffering with a recent injury and miss my workouts. I found yours and they have been a godsend. I also love your lovely demeanor and the calm, positive energy you project. Thank you for making my days a little brighter!
Thank you so much for your kind words Rita! All my best to you and your energy :)
I'm having problems with equilibrium. My therapist said to work my hips. Found this sneaky workout. Wow! Now I know I also need to work my arms as well. More please!!
Good for you Nancy! Have you ever tried my barre workouts? They are really good for strengthening the hips :)
Love this one and have a knee injury, so it was perfect! Length is good too, can do once or twice as time permits.
Thanks Lee, glad it was a good one for you :)
Loved the workout ❤❤ thank you

I loved the addition of the isometric holds! And thanks for suggesting we do the workout twice once we reached the end of the strength exercises. It was a great motivation to do so.

Thank you Lauren, you are doing an amazing job of keeping me engaged with exercise.😊
So glad Sandi! You're doing an amazing job doing the workouts :)
I'm applauding you - can you hear it?! I did do the 2nd round, and loved the feeling of a full workout. I used 5 pound dumbbells too, really felt it when we did the lateral raise. I really benefited drom the advice duing the split deadlift move to press into the floor and put the weight into the heel. It's amazing how a simple looking move and light dumbbells can be so effective! And that straight leg lift! Oh my - I thought I was in pretty good shape! Thank you so very much.
I hear it! Thanks Heidi! It's helpful to know all the details you gave me, great job!
These exercises make me feel so good when I’m done. Thank you for the variety.
You're so welcome! I’m thrilled that you feel good 🤩
all you offer is a breath of oxygen that brings physical and mental well-being thank you verry much your french fan

Lauren, I really like (okay I love) these isometric workouts. I did this one twice. Thank you! ❤❤
So glad! Great job Eka!!!
I was so happy I was able to finally do this workout today without the setback of hurting my knee again doing too much too soon. After 3 weeks of seated I got it done and loved it. I am still going to do a seated tomorrow because I don’t need a setback again.
Great job listening to your body Laura :)
Super workout Lauren thank. I especially liked the isometric hold elements 😊👍
Happy to hear it!!
Hi Lauren. You did it again. Another perfect workout. I've been battling a head cold since last Sunday. But I want to keep moving. A few days, I took your suggestion and did an easy walk outside. Yesterday, I did one of your 30 min cardio workouts. I knew I was due for weights, and here it was. I only did it once, because I'm not at 100% yet.
I hope that your daughter and mom are feeling better, and that you didn't catch it. ❤❤🫶😘
Thanks for trying it Rene even if you're not 100%. My daughter and mom are slow to recover, but I never got it :)
I'm sorry that they're still sick. Ugh. This just wants to linger! I took 3 Covid tests, all negative. Just a really bad cold. 😪@SeniorShapeFitness
I love all your exercises!! They make me truly enjoy my workout times and that’s saying a lot!
Yay! Thank you so much Ellen :)
Another great workout Lauren. Thank you.
You're welcome Maggie, so glad you like it!!
Another winner! Thanks so much for coming up with new videos! It's so helpful.
Yay! Thank you Leah, you are very welcome :)
After doing a big hike this morning I still had some energy…lol
Loooved this workout, different than the norm for me…and actually did it twice like you recommended! I also used 8 pound weights for a few exercises.
“Sassy Girl Stretch”…sure! Cute! 😊 Thank you! I would love to see more workouts like this! 👍
Yay! I'm thrilled that you love this workout and did it twice! Nice job Heidi :)
Hi Lauren,
I thoroughly enjoyed the isometric workout. I did it twice using 10 pound weights and it was awesome!
Thanks so much. I’ve never felt better. Your workouts are terrific!
Be well.
What?! 10 pounds?!? Great job Joanne, you are so strong!!!
Good morning Lauren, I really liked this one, isometrics holds are great. :) What I really appreciate are the weekly workout plans, they make my daily workouts more well-rounded. Thanks a bunch!
You bet! Thanks for following them :)

I did it twice the second time with ankle weights. Thank you for the right timing.
Wow! Good for you Katerina :)
I’ve missed you! I couldn’t work out the past 2 days due to my work schedule, but I’m back. I saw “isometric” and remembered the other isometric video that I lived so much. It was a no-brainer … go with the isometric. Thanks for another great video, Lauren!
Awesome Jeanne! So glad you think this one is great as well :)
Hi, Lauren, I will try that tomorrow morning, you're my training every day, Barre seated has done a great job on my arms, and i do many other exercises from your videos thank you so much! you transmit so much peace, and that beautiful smile that never disappears from your face.
