Low Impact Difficulty with Seated Modifications
Strength training for seniors may be the true fountain of youth. It will strengthen your bones, improve lean muscle and stop muscle atrophy, build functional strength, and even provide a boost of energy. This workout requires dumbbells and we’d recommend having a few available so that you may switch up the resistance used as needed. 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 chair for some of the movements. Let’s go!
