Strength Training Workout for Beginners & Seniors // Isometric & Balance Exercises!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- I'm excited for you to 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!
For demonstration purposes, I'm using a set of 5 pound hand weights. Feel free to go lighter or heavier based on your abilities.
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!
You may also want a chair nearby to assist with any balance challenges or modifications.
The entire full body workout is performed in a standing position.

Yes. Please do more isometric exercises. I loved this. I was really able to feel my muscles working!
Thanks Connie! Great t hear you got a good workout :)
@@SeniorShapeFitness I so agree with many of your fans please do more isometric exercise workouts….I really really loved it. Please video more.
This is a great workout and I had not idea that isometric exercises could be so rigorous. Would love to see more isometric workouts in the future Lauren.
Sure thing Karen! Glad you got a good workout :)
I don't have osteoporosis, but I want to have strong muscles. And doing this workout I felt that the isometric way of doing the exercises with dumbbells increases their effectiveness. In short, whatever our dear Lauren suggests to us, everything is for our benefit. Thank you very much, Lauren! Have a great week! ❤❤❤😊
Fantastic! Thanks and I hope you have a great week as well :)
I so love this workout. I feel like I’m stretching and strengthening my muscles at the same time. Thank you again for another thorough workout at a short time. Very efficient and effective.
So glad! You are very welcome ;)
I am very grateful that I found your channel. I think the isometric and balance exercises are helpful against osteoporosis. I will fight and try it to do it often with you! Thank you so much❤❤❤
That one was wickedly good! Lots of shaking going on but only in a good way. I hope you’ll do more isometric exercise videos like this. Thank you, Lauren!
Lauren, I wanted to once again thank you for all your advice and workouts that you provide to your fans! I have just recently returned from a three week, tent camping adventure with my husband, oldest daughter, her husband,,and five grandchildren. We started in the mountains of West Virginia and traveled across the country to Glacier National Park, down through the Teton Mountains, into South Dakota and the the badlands. We stayed on a pretty busy schedule, camping, hiking, and sightseeing! I couldn’t have done it without you! I started your workouts in April, wanting to build muscle but also knowing this trip was in September. I built strength in my arms, shoulders, legs, and back! I knew this trip would take strength and I got that from following your routines! Thank you! I know you hear this all the time from your viewers but sincerely, you have made such a great impact on so many people, their quality of life, their mobility, and their endurance! Thank you for helping me on a once in a lifetime adventure!!
Wow! Your trip sounds amazing and I'm so proud of you Kathy! YOU did all the hard work. It's nice to hear that my workouts helped get you stronger and I appreciate your kind words. Keep up the awesome work, you are an inspiration to many :)
Dear Lauren, thank you so much for those great workout!!!
I did the second isometric workout, too, with ankles weights and it feels so gooooood. Those isometric are so challenging that I would love to have more of them. ❤😅
I have osteoporosis and in fact just had my bone density test.This is such a welcomed exercise for us that must be careful with our bones.Thank you so much, Lauren.
You bet Judith! Keep up the great work :)
I agree ❤
Dear Lauren, I've been having terrible body pain because of menopause and have tried almost everything. Now I'm following you doing the exercises with dumbbells which works so well for me. My husband doesn't have to give me massages to ease the pain at midnight any more. I'm so lucky that I found you. Thank you so so much!
good for you! I'm so happy to hear you are feeling better with my workouts :)
Lauren - I love the diversity of your workouts. Your viewers can never be bored. There is a workout for whatever you need to work on. Bravo, once again!
Yay! Thanks so much Corinna :)
Yes! I need the variety and Lauren gives us so many options. Thanks Lauren
I really enjoyed this format! Please do more of them. I love all the variety in your workouts! Thank you! ❤
Will do!! Thank you 🤩
Lauren this is a wonderful new workout. I have been working out with you for about a year. I am 70 years old and finally realized I need slower movements and no jumping for my body. My mind still wants to workout quickly but not the body. Anyway I am so grateful to have found your site. Keep bro going ud these great workouts.
I sure will Renate! You keep up the great work as well :)
Shorter workout is my preference and this is perfect length. I’m in good shape for 67 but need to go carefully. Lots of athletic injuries from the past plus simple ageing.
I feel good after I did the moves!
Thank you, Lauren. You have helped me improve my bone density.
Great to hear Dana! Love that you feel good and are improving your bone density :)
I have either been doing videos or going to the gym for weight classes for YEARS! I've never had anyone work in isometric exercises that whole time! And, wow! They really required some strength. Thanks Lauren. I really appreciate what you offer us!
Thanks so much for trying it Luanne! Happy to have introduced you to it :)
I love your isometric hold exercises! I can really feel it, and it challenges me. Thanks, Lauren!
I loved it! Thank you. Love that there were no repeats. The isometrics more than took care of that!
Thanks Louise! So glad you love it :)
❤just started exercising again after catching covid in Nov/24. Was doing your morning stretches consistently before covid. Just finished the morning stretch which I love and decided to check your February playlist. Found this. I received weights for Christmas so decided to do this exercise. It was great! Love your videos. Always gentle! Love everything about you - your voice, smile, attitude, approach! And really appreciate those weekly playlists already cued up!
So glad the playlists are helpful and I'm thrilled you were able to do this video. Glad you are feeling better :)
Thank you! I haven’t been able to exercise in 5 years due to hip and low back problems. I was able to complete this workout, a little shakily, but I did it. I am so encouraged!! Thank you!!
wow! Good for you :)
Great workout Lauren.!!!!! Really started to feel those muscle work. Love your videos. I'm 74, finally started to work out at home on a regular basis.I have always exercised, step aerobics, pickleball, hiking and walking, but I have neglected my upper body and now realize how important weight training is for my whole body. I get bored easily, but your your work-outs keep me coming back for more. Thank you so very much for being there for us seniors. Movement keeps us young!
Absolutely! I get bored easily too, so I try to keep things fresh! so happy to have you working out with me :)
I enjoyed this workout, still feeling it 2 days later, thank you for your giving us such a variety of workouts
My pleasure Catherine :)
Orangetheory came into my town and a lot of people my age at 60 are joining it along with taking their goalie shots which is wonderful for them. I just a little nervous about it as well as spending $160 a month as their promo amount to start. I scrolled UA-cam, and I found you and although it pains me to say I am a senior there is no denying it lol. I did this work out and I have to tell you it was perfect. I felt successful and I also felt my muscles being worked. I am going to be religiously doing your program here. Thank you so much for uploading this series for seniors it’s empowering and I truly appreciate it.
You are most welcome Caroline! I think you will find my workouts are challenging but doable and you will definitely see results! So happy to have you working out with me :)
This workout was great, it was a challenge which is a positive in my book! Thanks again for helping us maintain and motivate Lauren.
My pleasure Kelli! Glad you were challenged and got a good workout :)
I absolutely loved the isometric workout! Thank you so much Lauren as always for your diverse and well thought out workouts.
You're so welcome Jenifer, I'm thrilled you love it!!
Not 2 long, not 2 short...what a beautiful challenging workout. ❤ more please

I am 77 and simply love your workouts. I have been exercising all my life and these are the best. Looking forward to losing 10 pounds with the assistance of these two exercises.
Loved it and thanks for the motivation to keep holding it even though I wanted to stop!
Great job Mary, so glad you love it :)

Wonderful!
Enjoyable strength training workout, the isometric exercises were challenging but felt good. Thanks Lauren
Glad you enjoyed it Colleen!
Allo ,
I am 72, in good health. I do your exercises 5 to 6 times a week. Thanks to your soft voice and kindness what keep us going.
Today’s exercises were the first I couldn’t keep up with in terms of weights, I had to switch to 3 pounds. 😰
Keep the good work, you are my morning friend, cheers ☕️
3 pounds is still great! It's good to have a challenge to work up to :)
I really like your workouts specially those strength and balancing exercises. I am 59 years old and can still follow your exercises because they are not too fast nor too slow. Hoping you upload more of this workouts. Thanks and more power. 👍🙂
Thanks so much Gemma! Glad you enjoyed it ;)
Enjoyed this very much. I like working the isometric exercises. Your 20-30 minute workouts always work best for me. Thanks Lauren!
Happy to hear that! Thanks Jan 🤩
Lauren - the isometric component really came calling to my muscles! I could feel them getting stronger. Thanks again for all your wonderful workouts. I enjoy them all.
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed and felt this one Laurel 🤩
Lauren, Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! I've been doing several of your other workouts. They are all so good! A few days ago I tried your Cardio & Strength HIIT Workout for the first time. Wow! What a great workout! My muscles were sore for a couple of days just like you said they would be! But it was a good kind of sore! Today I tried your Strength Training Workout with Isometric & Balancing Exercises. ANOTHER WOW! I really appreciate how you show side views of the exercises, tell us where we should be feeling the muscle work, and tell us when we should be inhaling and exhaling. Sometimes its obvious but not always (for me). All of your instruction and reminders help to make sure I am doing the exercises correctly. Thanks again! I appreciate you! Abundant blessing to you, lovely lady! ~ Teresa
Thanks so much for your positive feedback Teresa! I'm thrilled you are enjoying my videos and instruction. Keep up the great work :)
Love this, Lauren. Your calm directives and tranquil music are wonderful. I feel great and am increasing my strength. Thank you for all you do--a great blessing in my life. God's favor and success to you.
Thanks Pricilla! I'm thrilled you love it :)
Really great way for strength and core. Totally enjoyed the workout.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Yay! I am so thankful for your support Karen :)
This was great for me…challenging me. A great “shake up”! Loved it. Thanks!
You're welcome! So glad you love it :)
Whew! That was a great challenge, Felt good. Thank you. Kim
My pleasure Kim, glad you got a good workout :)
Loved this workout. The isometrics really add an extra dimension! Thanks for another great workout!
I'm thrilled you love it Barbra! You are most welcome :)
I love how the exercises in this video are designed with seniors in mind. It's important to focus on strength without putting too much strain on the joints. Definitely going to give this a try.
Isometric holds were hard but so rewarding. Thank you Lauren for always challenging us. That’s why I like your workouts!
So glad! Thanks for being up for the challenge :)
Thank you, Lauren, this workout was a great fit for me. I am ready to move on to heavier weights. I genuinely appreciate the diverse workouts you present on your channel. My body and mind benefit greatly from your videos!
So happy to hear it Jacqueline!!!
Lauren, I love your classes!! I am an old fitness instructor from the 80's-90's and your moves are so familiar!! Very smooth transitions and so easy to follow and yes, I am working up a sweat!! I also loved the isometric strength & core training. I am 75 years young and and doing your workouts everyday! I am feeling so good and even my arthritis is not bothering me. Keep up the great classes!!
Awesome! Thanks Carol, I'm thrilled you are loving my classes :)
Loved the isometric exercises!! Could really feel it all over my body!! Glad to see a new class each week!! 😊
So glad you love it Karen 🤩🙌🏻
This was my first time doing this workout. I LOVED IT! Please do more of these workouts! I got a great workout without lots of reps, plus I had a heavier weight standing by, but no need! All your workouts are amazing - I do a lot of your strength workouts for bone density. This one was amazing! Thank you, Lauren! 🙂❤
Wonderful! Thank you so much Sarah, I'm thrilled you enjoyed it :)
This workout was so effective and I willed myself to do the isometric exercises I hope we can see more isometric workouts in the future TY Lauren
Glad you found it effective! New isometric workout coming soon :)
First time doing isometric exercise. It was enjoyable, and thanks, Lauren, for a good warm up and after stretch.

Amazing..Thanks Lauren..Please make more content with isometirc workouts..This is the first time I did isometric and found it working every muscle ..Pace and length of the workout is perfect
So glad you enjoyed it! A new isometric is coming in a few weeks :)
Thank you for posting another standing strength training video! I appreciate how you provide clear instructions. I also appreciate the variety of formats/exercises!
Strength training is admittedly not one of my favorite things to do. However, I recognize its importance. I also find it myself more motivated because the workouts do not follow the same format each time.
Great Ariana! I try to keep my videos interesting :)
Loved this new workout Lauren. Tough, but could just manage it so it was a great challenge. It’s your variety that keeps me working out with you. Thank you
You're so welcome! Love that you enjoy the variety 🤩
This was wonderful. Can’t wait to do again. 😊
Wonderful! Thank you so much :)
Great challenging workout Lauren! Please do more like this! Love all your videos and content! ❤❤❤

My pleasure Sharline!!

This was a great 'welcome back' to workouts after a month-long break! I just moved and haven't had much time. The isometric exercise is an excellent idea for a change of pace. Thank you!
Welcome back! Glad you got a good workout :)
I liked doing this workout this morning. For me personally at 72, it was a challenge but I made it through with good form so I smiled and gave myself a pat on the back when doing the triceps stretch. 😊 Thanks for this isometric Monday workout Lauren.
Great job Laura, I'll give you a pat on the back too :)
Thank you. Your workouts keep me motivated because I like the varied durations.
Thanks Barb, that's great to hear :)
Another challenging workout. I can believe how much sweat!! Again THANK YOU so much for providing these workouts.

Wow! This was a great video! Thank you Lauren❤
My pleasure Ivette! So glad you like it :)
Hi Lauren, Just wanted to let you know that I have been doing your videos for 1 year now and I have lost 6 pounds and feel great! My gyn actually told me last week to not lose anymore weight because I am in the perfect margin for my height and age. I could not have accomplished this without your videos because I was quite bored and burned out on my own routine. Thank you so much for this channel and I hope this encourages you as much as it has me! Happy Thanksgiving, I pray that you have a wonderful holiday!! ❤👍
Thank you so much Kay! It’s wonderful to hear of your success and I appreciate your kind words 🤩 keep up the great work and I hope you have a lovely thanksgiving as well! 😍
Really liked this work out. It hit all the main spots in a short time. Would like more of these. Thanks Lauren.
More to come! Glad you enjoyed it Jacquie 🤩
Great challenge this one! It was hard but doable. I hung in there great until the last two moves & my muscles just couldn't do the isometric hold. But that's great cuz now I have a goal to shoot for & that makes it more fun. Thanks so much for all you do, Lauren!
Yay! Love your positive attitude and that you are up for the challenge Jeannette :)
Thanks! Loved this!❤🎉
I'm so grateful for you support! thank you :)
Lauren, thank you so much for what you do. I always enjoy my workouts with you. They’re not over a half an hour and I feel like I’ve worked my muscles, but I’m not sore. I’ve never been a girl that likes exercise, but I look forward to working out with you thank you
That is such a nice complement. Thank you Debbie :)
Ty, Lauren.🙌♥️ After yesterday's fast walk to the beat workout, this was a great one to do. Loved it!!💕💕 Blessings always. 🎉
Wonderful! Happy to hear you love it!
Another great workout! The isometric holds really added some punch!
They sure do! Thanks for trying it Laura 🙌🏻
WOW Lauren what a great class loved it thankyou see you tomorrow 🙋💐❤️
Yay! glad you love it Julie :)
Lauren I am 75 years young with osteoporosis and have been including strength training for a while now along with Yoga for Osteoporosis. I really enjoy working out with you. This was a good one.🙂
Wonderful Jann! I appreciate you working out with me :)
What a great workout. I would love more like this.. Thank You Thank You!!!
Awesome! my pleasure Irene :)
Never done an isometric workout before. Loved it. Please upload some more! I have used 2kgs dumbbells. I am working every night with you cause in the morning I have to be at school early and have a long commute. My colleagues have started working out with you too, after asking me what I am doing and got so much better. Teachers need our strength, ballance, posture etc I love you Lauren ❤❤❤❤ Kisses from Athens, Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Yay! THat's so great! I love teachers and briefly taught 7th grade!
I'm filming a new isometric workout tomorrow. Keep an eye out for it in two weeks!
@@SeniorShapeFitness Good morning! I am going to!
Thank you for pointing this out to me, I shall definitely dive into that workout too!
Great workout, Lauren! I love isometrics and enjoyed that little twist to the weight training. More please!
You bet Laura, just filmed a new one today!!
Hi Lauren - I usually don't leave comments, but give you a thumbs up. This time I am doing both. I have been looking for isometric exercises. These were fantastic! I am 77 years old and was able to keep up, even thru the shaking, LOL. Thank you and please do more isometric exercises.
Thanks so much Lorna! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video. I'll definitely do more isometric videos :)
I love this workout! Thank you for providing it. I’ve been doing your workouts for 2 years but have never commented before. I appreciate your calm and friendly voice and that you do so much teaching about the muscles and body. I feel more hopeful about my aging body and have less guilt about not going to the gym. 😊
Tammy
Thank you so much Tammy! Your kind words mean a lot to me and it's great to hear that you are feeling more hopeful :) You ARE going to the gym, just in the comfort of your own home :)
Great work out! Not easy! So proud of myself for finishing. Thanks Lauren for all the diversity. Certainly can’t get bored!
Love to hear all that Debra!
I wasn’t sure if this was going to be much of a workout with light weights, but I was breathing hard and felt arms, legs, every body part working hard!! Thank you.
You bet Mary! Glad you got a good workout :)
Very effective workout. I especially liked the butterfly exercise. I found it quite effective.
Great to hear! Thanks for working out with me :)
