You're very dedicated to your health and well-being! Lifting weights back in the '80s and '90s was one of the best things I ever did for my health. Now, pushing 70, I continue with light weights, Pilates, and walking. Because of the base muscle I developed back then, it has been easy to maintain my muscle now that I'm a senior. One thing I would like to impart upon your audience is that REST is just as important as working out, particularly with lifting weights. Muscle breaks down during weight lifting and resting allows the muscle fibers to regenerate to build bigger muscle. I make sure to rest one or two days a week from resistance exercise. I walk on those days off. The body needs to recover, otherwise muscle wasting will occur. And to support your muscle, a person needs to eat adequate protein.
Great tips, thanks. 😊
Hi, it sounds like you are doing all the right things. I agree, rest is important. I take at least 2 as well, on which I will just do some cardio, yoga or a long walk
x
@dmdr11 great inspiration. I'm trying to work out whether I should continue working out at home or get a gym membership. I hear you should lift heavy. I don't have such heavy weights. My main strength is from pilates. I don't know if that is enough.
@@manymoms920 Hi, thank you for your kind words. There is a bit of a debate on if it is better to lift heavy and fewer reps or lighter with more reps. Personally I think that the weights should be challenging enough, but we of course also need to have good form. You could always get a heavier set of dumbbells for at home...
x
@@manymoms920 It depends what your goals are. If you want significant muscle, Pilates won't be enough. You can get a membership for a year or two until you establish and reach your goal, then you can continue at home. Some people are more motivated in a lifting environment with others around. Some are motivated enough at home.
Lifting heavy isn't always necessary. It would be more for strength than for building shapely muscle (I know that sounds counter-intuitive). What's more important for building muscle are 1) Technique - not only performing a move correctly, but truly "feeling it"; that is concentrating on feeling the movement, feeling your muscles flexing, almost a visualization too. Results involve more than just "going through the moves" or getting through a set, but your focus and *intention*, and 2) Mixing it up - the best progress actually comes not from lifting heavy all the time, but from "fooling" the muscles with different intensities; that is, different # reps/sets each time, different speed of movement. If you do the same exercises, same # sets, same # reps, same poundage, same speed each and every workout, your muscles become complacent, they know what to expect (there's really such a thing as "muscle memory") and they're not challenged. So, one day, you might lift heavy for fewer reps and lift super slowly and the next time, you might go very light for high reps. And those different approaches will work your muscles differently for a well-rounded result.
Came upon this video today. Oh my goodness Claudia! You are truly an inspiration in so many ways. I didn' t know you suffered such a tramatic injury. And look at you now. You would never know. You have overcome so many things in your lifetime. XO
You are a sweetheart Deb❤️
Hello gorgeous Claudia! Have enjoyed watching your videos! Thank you for being a beautiful lady. You have given me so much joy in knowing there are holistic ways to take care of our body😊As I approach 60 as a Type 1 Diabetic have changed my views on so many things-food, personal care & cleaning products, clothing, etc. Enjoy working out 🏋️♀️ 🚶♀️➡️🧘♀️Have used weights on & off since I was 18. Appreciate your honesty & motivation. Stay strong, healthy & beautiful! Have a glorious day ☀️🌸
Hi Joan, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I am glad to hear you are taking such good care of yourself. I can imagine it being challenging to manage an autoimmune disease such as type one diabetes, but it sounds like you are doing an amazing job and I a proud of you
Thank you for all your love and support, I appreciate you very much ❤️
Thank you for making this video. Great workouts. ❤
Hi Shelly, thank you for being here

Thankyou lovely Claudia, your content is so relevant! ❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for all your love and support ❤️
Great to see your routine! I’m going till try some of your exercises with my dumbbells at home. You are in incredible shape 💪
Hi Clare, great to hear from you. And I’m glad that this was helpful. I wish when you come here we had enough time to do a workout together. But I’m looking forward to going on a walk with you and meeting you.

Hi Claudia! You are a strong woman! Thanks for sharing your workouts. This helps give me some ideas. ♥️
Hi, thank you for your kind words! I am glad this gave you some ideas
x
Loved this...so many great ideas of exersizes to add to my routine. You have def inspired me to increase my weights at the Y and it feels great!
I am happy to hear that ❤️
Luv u
x
Whoa Claudia!! You are such an inspiration! Those videos are so well done and professionally balanced! Look out Jane Fonda!😄 My high school athletes that I have trained would even be challenged by your routines! The only other idea I have in regards to your routines is to add some rotator cuff exercises to keep those shoulders stabilized especially the right one. Very very impressive workouts!!!
@@loreleikubiak6082 You are a sweetheart Lorelei. And thank you for the recommendation. I actually do throw in some rotator cuff exercises here and there, but it is a great reminder
x
Wow Claudia that's impressive! I've started doing more strength training with weights (thanks to you) and only wish we lived in the same city so I could do regular training with you! Very inspiring to stay (get) fit as I age...
I too wish you lived in the same city, not so so we could work out together, but to do all kinds of stuff together :-).
@@claudiaglows 😘
Claudia, thank you so much for the video. I’m currently doing yoga everyday trying to get back to walking everyday. Gathering information on adding a weight routine.
HI Loreiann, I hope this was helpful. Thank you for being here

So strong!
Hi Debbie, thank you

Hello Claudia ! Your workout routine has a lot of variety and you can see the results in how fit and toned you look especially your legs wow ! I checked out Caroline Girvan after seeing someone mention her on one of your past videos . I do her workouts now and boy was I sore . I do miss the gym especially the machines I stopped during Covid and found Fabulous 50’s , she has a wide variety for Mature women . Thank you for sharing your workouts ❌⭕️
Hi gorgeous, thank you for your thoughtful comment. All good, I’m so glad you’re doing Caroline’s workouts and are enjoying them.
Hoping you get your package soon, keep me posted
Lots of love ❤️
I got it today ! I could r wait so I already did my PM skincare and of course used the Youth RESET serum and Youth DAILY ! I love the consistency of both they are like heaven . Thank you again so much to young goose and you Claudia for the giveaway . I am so happy 🩵 I’ll let you know down the road if I see amazing results. ❌⭕️‼️
@@sueanacker2607 that is super exciting! I hope you we’ll see some good results
Claudia, I have not had time to catch up with your content for a while but I sometimes think it is a good think because then I can watch a few of your videos at once and notice the changes in your appearance and oh wow, you are looking stunning, happy and healthy, thank you for being such an inspiration and my Gosh, you have such a dedication in everything you do! Big hugs for you 😊
aww, you are a sweetheart! Thank you for your very kind words. Sending a huge hug right back at you and thank you for being here

I started weight lifting 5 days a week, also doing 2 days a week HIIT for about 20-25 minutes, and 4 days a week of walking with a weighted vest -- plus eating higher protein than I have in the past -- about 140 grams a day. (I weigh over 160 pounds). I've already lost 3 inches in my waist and across the largest part of my belly in about 6 weeks. I'm so shocked and pleased this is working for me and I'm feeling so much stronger, physically. It's great! Love weight lifting!
That is awesome! Good job ❤️
i LOVE your muscles good job!!!! keep going girl you look beautiful!!!
aww, thank you Lucy! And thank you for being here
xx
This is super impressive... Motivates me to do more than what i am doing....
It makes me happy to hear that this motivated you!!
Thank you for being here

I mainly do weights and kettle ball. Also, a bike. I used to jump which I loved, but stopped because i am afraid it will wreck my knees...
It sounds like you’re doing some great things. If you love, jumping, personally, I would add it back in. Doing some plyometrics can be really helpful to keep our bones strong.
So excited to watch!!! Love you ❤!!!
Hi beautiful
I hope you enjoyed it
Love you too ❤️
Hi Gorgeous, Thank you for filming your workouts and you are amazing! My mood and energy level for the day is definitely improved when I get moving in the morning. I['m trying to be more consistent with my routine and purchased heavier weights. I hope everything is well and sending a big Hug xo
Hi gorgeous, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am happy to hear that you got some heavier weights! Sending a big hug your way. ❤️
Thank you for showing us how you exercise and stay fit Claudia 🙏🏻.
You are very committed to your well-being, which is great!
Walking for me, is very necessary, as I do it daily for my job. But I need to be more dedicated to weight lifting 🏋🏼♂️.
Keep-up the energy and zest for life! ☀️😘
Hi Victoria, thank you for your lovely comment. I am glad to hear you walk daily, that is awesome
x
Thank you for sharing Claudia! I always appreciate your support 😊
Thank you for being here Tonya and for all your love and support ❤️
Wow your pull-ups are impressive!
❤️
Thanks for sharing your routine. WOW, your middle name must be “superwomen”…. Amazing what you do.The results speak for themselves , bravo👏🏻💪🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻 you look fabulous. since your last week video I have gone higher on my weights for my arms and back. Personally, I do yoga and walking 3 to 5 times a week also stretch daily. I like your recommendation on getting a personal trainer, to get the right form and exercises. Because I would like to do more weights along with core and leg work. You’re an inspiration thank you. Salutations from San Diego.
Hi Catherine, thank you so much for your lovely comment. It sounds like you are doing some great things already. But yes, adding a bit of weights would be great.
Wishing you a beautiful day, thank you for being here

Hi Claudia, fantastic workouts, thank you for sharing. My workouts are very similar, albeit doing home workouts. I also love to skip (jump rope). Please can you do an updated "what I eat in a day". Would be great to have some food inspiration as a vegan trying to build muscle. You have an amazing physique by the way. Kind Regards.
Hi, thank you for your very kind workout. And yes, I can def. make another what I eat in a day video
xx
I feel like a slug. Thank you for sharing this and some channels you like! I will also look up your other videos. I miss the one where you showed how to make that delicious and healthy bread. Luckily I screenshot the recipe. I can’t eat regular bread so that’s been awesome. I did some dumbbells this morning and I always think of you when I try to exercise! You’re a great motivator. Lots of love and hugs, Claudia! 💜💜💜💜💜
Hi gorgeous
Glad to hear you are liking the bread. It is one of my favorites as well.
And good job doing some eights this morning
Lots of love ❤️
Thanks for sharing your workouts. They definitely work for you as you look amazing! I used to work out at home but joined a gym about 1.5 years ago and I love it. I do 4 strength training workouts a week. 2 upper and 2 lower. I also walk everyday and work on core.
I agree that it just becomes a habit and is a non negotiable just like brushing your teeth combing your hair etc. I don’t really think you can rely on motivation. It has to become a habit that you just do without really thinking about it. I’m not always motivated to work out but I do it anyways. Hope you have
a wonderful week! ❤
Hi Debbie, thank you for your kind words! And wow, your workout schedule sounds perfect, good job!
I am not always motivated to work out either, but then I don't always feel like flossing my teeth either;), so yes, you are so right, we can not relay on motivation and it needs to become a habit.
Wishing you a wonderful week

Thanks for sharing Claudia ❤
P.S I do Pilates daily 😊
Hi Deethra, thank you for being here. I need to try some pilates
x
@@claudiaglows I think you’d like it!
@@deetrahwilliams3253 I think so too. I’ll definitely give it a try now that I’m in San Diego.
@@claudiaglows I am a member at club Pilates and they are all over the world! Check them out!
I do reformer Pilates 3-4 times a week. It definitely helps with toning and of course your core. I also do strength workouts at home with dumbbells and walk. I actually use the UA-cam channels she shared.
Hi Claudia, I’m in tears as I miss working out so much. I am going to be joining a Welness Center and get started back to weight lifting etc. I of course will have a personal trainer as with my spinal injury and just one yr post op from spinal cord surgery ( 6th one) I know my personality and I tend to really go full force and over do it. I was always obsessed with weight lifting , roller blading 4 mi/day and jogging 4mi/ day. Also did aerobics. I at soon to be 63 have lost most of my muscle mass and it discusses me. Thank you so MUA for encouraging me to get back at it. I do not want to be a feeble 70 yr old. lol. You really made me realize more just how much I miss working out. You are so dedicated in all that you do. You’ve got great endurance. You and Sammy remind me of myself and my tiny toy poodle Phoebe. I miss having a fenced in back yard, but it’s also a good thing as it keeps me walking. 😊😅
Hi Karla, I am glad you are going to get back into working out.
Oh, and you should be getting your package any day. Please keep me posted
x
@@claudiaglows thank you Claudia. Will do.
Claudia!.... I'm impressed, that was a great and varied (importantly varied) routine example.... these were great exercises and no doubt will be extremely helpful to those who are thinking of getting and sticking closely to a 'routine'..as well of course to those already with a training programme, whatever the goals FITNESS /PHYSIQUE the.wellbeing' effects for me are the most appreciative I get from weight training as well as the other obvious benefits.....so Kudos to you Claudia👍,...very inspiring👏
Hi Andy, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I agree, the wellbeing effects are the most important, the rest is just bonus

I have zero definition in my legs - despite the fact that I do compound lifting every day. They just look thick. I want definition like yours!
I love all the great ideas! I like that you change things up. I have done Caroline Girvan's workouts and really like them! I have recently started jumping rope and I'm messing up quite a bit. Let's hope I get better with time. What are your thoughts on walking with a weighted vest? Love your videos!
It was really nice to see your comment pop up. Glad to hear you started jump roping and I am sure you will get better.
I think walking with a weighted vest seems to be promising as far as increasing bone density. I would say it’s definitely worth a try
Wow Claudia! You are lifting heavy, Mamma Mia! I was proud of myself lifting 8_15kg ( 15kg for my legs, not upper body) but I need to up my game by the look of things 😅
You are too cute! It’s all relative, if the weights you live challenge you, then that’s good

Thank you for sharing your workouts! What time of day do you tend to work out? I used to be so disciplined and I am definitely not there right now. In fact I’m in Physical Therapy for a back injury. I sustained when I bought a new rowing machine. It’s impressive how much you pack into your workouts. Congratulations you look fantastic!!!
Hi Pamela, thank you for your kind words! I work out in the morning, after I walk Sam
I am sorry to hear you sustained an injury and hope you will heal soon
xx
@@claudiaglows PT is really helping. I've always been too heavy on cardio and stretch when I really need to work on strength, as I have osteoporosis. :-( I am so impressed by your muscle mass and tone. You really look fabulous.
OMG, it was sitting in my drafts folder! I just sent it. 😂
😊
Claudia you should take once a day a mix of very efficient essential amino acids called AMINO-THER (which is also excellent in collagen/elastin synthesis).
Thank you for the suggestion
I don’t see where you put the other workout channels you like. You mentioned in the video you would link them. All I see is one of your workouts.
The first one is Caroline Girvan, I did not recognise the other one. I highly recommend Caroline’s programmes, especially Iron, Heat and Fuel. They last 30 minutes and they are highly effective. I have done done Caroline’s programmes for over two years and I never get bored with them.
Hi, I am sorry, I just linked them

Your second exercise was an alternating dumbbell snatch

Claudia, how do you like living in Virginia? My husband and I are thinking of retiring there because of the affordability and proximity to ocean. I also have family and friends out that way. We’re thinking of Williamsburg or maybe outside of Charlottesville.
Hi Kathryn, we were just there for 3 months. In fact I am in San Diego now. But it is charming. Nice beaches and cute towns, but very humid

Claudia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
I have always done at-home workouts with UA-cam. All you need do is start with one small set of dumbbells then add to your collection as you get stronger. Eventually you'll have your own gym. There are exercises which mimic all gym machines - and who the heck wants to go to a gym?! Ew.
Wow
I've worked out every day, with a few exceptions, for over a decade. I can't not.
Thank you, Claudia for this great inspirational video. I'm 59 and just a beginner at weight training. I follow Debra Atkinson of Flipping 50. She is a menopause exercise expert. She's been in the field for 40 years and is outstanding! See her here on UA-cam, IG, FB etc.
Hi Lucianne, I am glad you enjoyed this and thank you so much for the recommendation. I will check out Debra

I wanted to get laser treatment on my face, but I heard on one of your videos that it caused fat loss in your face? I tried to look through your channel for more info, but couldnt find it. One of your videos said laser doesnt cause facial fat loss. So im not sure can you clear this up for me please? thank you
Im assuming you got the wrong treatment of laser that caused the fat loss, but I wanted to make sure
Hi,I think it was more the radio frequency microneedling than the laser. If you get a laser treatment, I would highly recommend to go to a skilled provider to minimise any risks
i hate bulgarian split squats. ooooh, they mean. i can't do them because i've got two bunk knees. :-(
Hi it was very inspiring video. I can recommend a channel of Cheryl Coulombe. Lifting is her passion and she has very methodical approach to it. 😊
Hi, thank you so much for being here. I’m glad this was inspiring. And thank you so much for the recommendation, I will definitely check out Cheryl.

Yay! looking forward to this video. I can lack motivation but I do need to move my body daily ❤
