Low Impact Difficulty with Seated Modifications
Strength training for seniors provides endless benefits. You’ll strengthen bones, build lean muscle and prevent muscle atrophy, improve functional strength, and enhance mental sharpness just to name a few. You’ll need dumbbells for this workout and we recommend having a few weights available. If you don’t have dumbbells, then you can use soup cans or water bottles. We’ll be providing standing and seated modifications. Regardless if you’re doing the standing or seated exercises, you’ll want a char for some of the movements. Now let’s begin!
