Building Strength with Dumbbells for Seniors & Beginners // 30 min all Standing Workout
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2023
- Let's strength train together and build muscle mass with this 30 minute workout!
All exercises are in a standing position and are set to a timer so you can go at your own pace. We will perform exercises for 60 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds. I'm using a set of two 8lb weights for this full body workout. Please start with lighter weights if it is your first time doing this workout or if you are new to strength training.
I hope you enjoyed this workout! Please let me know what you think in the comments. I love hearing from my viewers!
I love my new hand weights from Alta Fitness. They are so soft on your hands, prevent calluses from forming and are antibacterial! They are by far the nicest and most luxurious weights I have ever used.

Hi, Lauren, I turned 84 last week and I feel fabulous. I’ve been working out with you for a year now and I’ve lost weight, my belly fat is disappearing and I just enjoy the challenge of trying to complete a workout with you. The stability ball has been the toughest one but I’m getting better. Thank you.
Hilary, I am SO impressed! You are my inspiration.
Amazing Hilary! Keep up the great work, I'm so proud of you :)
You are DEFINITELY INSPIRING to us all!
I am so motivated by you! Good for you, keep up the great work on yourself. 🫂
Awesome 🎉well done this was a tough one
Love this added challenge with the heavier weights, Lauren. You are an amazing teacher and so grateful for you.
I appreciate that Barbara! I am grateful for great viewers like you :)
Thanks. Great. I’m 81 years
Although I don't comment as much I am here regularly working out with you Lauren. I love everything about your workouts. The music, your voice, your gentle nature, your challenging routines that somehow you make us do it 'easy'. Thank you!
You're the best! I always appreciate your support and comments Liliana :)
Ditto! :)
Definitely one of your harder workouts (and I just used 5 pounds). I find the workouts with weights are better for cardio, too, for me. As a 76-year-old for whom walking (5-7 K a day) had been my only exercise (until a foot injury), I really feel your workouts in my arms and especially shoulders, mostly in a good way. Thanks.
Great! So glad to hear you are getting stronger. Keep up the good work :)
I just finished this for the first time and I am sweating! Haha. I loved it. Doable but a challenge for this 75 year old!
Great job! Glad you love it and got a good workout :)
Okay ... I see an amazing group of followers below and I hope to be joining the team. I enjoyed the serious repetitions of workouts that were not easy but possible. I will see you again this week ... maybe tomorrow!
Wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me 🤩
Love all your total body weight workouts. Thanks for making this more on the challenging side as I am 59 years old and workout often. Please do more strength workouts! Thanks again!
Thanks Shyleen! I'm so glad it's a good workout for you :)
I have only just "met" you, and I thought this workout was fabulous! I love that you don't spend too long giving instructions. You give just enough. I really enjoyed my first workout with you! I had both hips replaced a couple of years ago, but take care. Thank you! I'm 75...🌻
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video Barbara! I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
Wow don’t know how you come up with all these different routines! Thank you and used the 8 lbs! All the way! Grateful I didn’t do my walk first! Thank you I really enjoy your routines and the challenges to build strength as I am approaching my 75 th ! 🙏🙏🙏Many blessings Lauren 😊
Wow Margarete! I'm so proud of you :)
This was so good! 42 yrs old and feel great after this workout🎉 I’m trying to tone and lean out a bit and your channel is perfect. I don’t want an aggressive workout but something that pushes me and still be able to do it again the next day. These slower, more concentrated workouts are perfect. Thanks 💕
I'm so happy you are enjoying my workouts Kelli! Your comment is exactly what I was hoping for when I created this channel :)
Me too , if it's too much I will give up because of trying to fit workouts in with kids, work etc there is little time and energy 😅
This workout was wonderful. Thank you for the reminders to keep the abs tucked and back straight, and thank you for your calmness and not over talking. So grateful for your workouts.
Thanks so much Stacy 🤩
I just turned 59 and recently tore my meniscus, so I’m slightly sidelined by my favorite activities like pickleball. I searched UA-cam and found your videos for seniors and thought…oh well! I guess I’m at that stage!!😂 But honestly, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos and find the workouts wonderful! My heart rate is definitely up and I love the strength training. Thank you so much for your help in getting me back to fully healthy! I’ll certainly continue to watch and learn. Keep up the good work!!
Great Marybeth! Thank you for your kind words. I'm thrilled you are enjoying my videos. You keep up the good work as well :)
Oh boy, I’m going to feel this tomorrow. Such a great workout. As always, I enjoy how you incorporate moves that aren’t used as often in conventional workouts. ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it and got a good workout :)
I love your workouts! I've been doing them for 2 months consistently. I am not a senior, but I found your channel in search of strength workouts. I started with 5 & 8 lb weights. I am now able to do 15 lb weights with this workout. You're very good at explaining what to do and have proper form. Your workouts are very challenging! Thank you!
My pleasure April! Awesome job with 15lbs, that is amazing!
I'm in my late 40s and have never done any strength building exercises. I just got 2 kinds of dumbbells ( 5 and 3 lb weight) at Walmart. I am slim, but want to be nicely toned and not flabby as I get older. I followed this workout in this video and absolutely love it.
Great! Those are perfect weights to start with. I'm thrilled you love it :)
As a 75 year old I always neglect strength training, but have it on my list now. This workout was just the ticket! Thank you!
Perfect! Good for you Becky :)
Loved it! Wasn't too challenging but enough that I could complete it without feeling discouraged. Thank you!!
Great! Happy to hear you love it and got a good workout :)
I can't believe how fast this workout went. It was so amazing. I really worked up a sweat. Love this workout. I have to say, Lauren, your workouts are THE BEST!!! 🎉🎼🌠🌟🌻
I appreciate that so much, and I'm thrilled you love it :) !!!
I enjoyed this very much, feeling younger and stronger.
Great! that is wonderful to hear :)
Hey Lauren... loved this heavier weight workout... which includes balancing incorporated❤thank you.. enjoy all your workouts
So glad you love this one too! Thanks Pam :)
Thank you so much!!! This one was such a great balance of familiarity and new challenges. I’m a 50 year old cancer survivor (now cancer free) and your channel was my go-to during recovery from surgery. That was in early 2021 and I’m delighted to say you are still my go-to now. 😊 I initially started with your Pilates and stretching videos but quickly got deeper into the cardio and strength training workouts as well. You are a wonderful instructor and motivator. Thank you for always keeping things fresh and fun! -Rick
Thank you so much for your kind comments Rick! I’m thrilled to hear that you are cancer free and enjoying my videos 🤩
This was so great! I have been using 3 pound weights for my workouts. But today I did this one with 5 pound weights. It was challenging, but I did it! Thanks for creating such great workouts!
@@carolengroff6766 great job 🙌🏻
This was a really good workout and I got sweaty…😅. I love full body workouts that incorporate everything! My heart rate hit all the zones too…lol. I used 8 and 10 lb weights…great job with this one!!!
Wow! nice job!!!
This is a great, just challenging enough workout! I really love when you use the on-screen timer - it's so helpful!
Happy to hear it Jeanne :)
FUN, FUN,FUN...this was a great workout Lauren. Love the playlist with monthly workouts. Thanks to you and Mike for making these easy to follow workouts❤🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
You're so welcome! Glad you had fun too Sharon :)
Great workout lots of variety and challenges thank you👏
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks Mary 🤩
Loved it! Good challenge. Felt so good afterwards too! Thank you!
So glad! Thank you Leslie 🤩
Thank you so much Lauren. I really enjoy your work outs, it is knee friendly. There are modifications and reminders to breath and core engage .More power to you. Blessings
Glad you like them! Thanks for working out with me Corine ;)
Love! Nice challenge … love these compound movement w/outs. A lot gets accomplished in a reasonable time. Thank you! 😍
You're so welcome! Glad it’s a good workout for you Lynn 😘
Looking forward to this workout. I have been following you since heart surgery just over a year ago and have built up enough strength to challenge myself with these! BTW, I have an Apple Watch and often don't know what workout to choose when monitoring my activity with you. Any suggestions? (or maybe you could put in the notes for each workout in future)
Great to hear! I have an apple watch too. Just go by the workout title. So for this workout, you would set it to "traditional strength training". Hope that helps!
Excellent workout! Challenging but not too difficult.
Keep em coming!
Great Denise, glad to hear it!!!
Good morning, I'm 74 and just found you and am thrilled, you have me such a great workout. I was able to keep up. Thank you dear. See you tomorrow.
You are so welcome! Happy to have you working out with me Jill 🤩
Thanks Lauren, great video. I love your style and manner, great reminders of posture. I’m 72 …getting there. 🌹
Wonderful! Keep up the good work Melanie 🤩
This is one of my favorite strength training workouts. It is challenging, but I feel accomplished afterwards. Thank you!
You're so welcome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That workout was perfect. Just what I needed today. Thank you for your encouragement and your monthly playlists!
You're so welcome Susan :)
Love standing strength training workouts like this one! A little more challenging would be good.
Great! You can always do a second set and/or increase your weights to make it more challenging 🙌🏻
Lauren, I tried this video today. Outstanding! I cannot get enough. I have had two knee replacements, 68 years old. They do my knees good! I know that’s not proper grammar but I just want you to know I am so happy to be able to do your workouts. Thank you so much!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you are able to do my workouts as well Paula :)
Hi Lauren, This workout was much more challenging using the 8lb weights, but it was a great workout! I love your choreography. It works your body without leaving you stiff the next day! Love your workouts! Thanks so much!
You're so welcome! Nice job with the 8lbs Maggie :)
This new workout just about kicked this 63 year old's arse! Dripped sweat! Another great one Lauren!
So glad you got a good workout Kim!!
Whoa. I am humbled. I really had to "do me" and drop to 5 pounds for most of it. I had my quarterly phone check-in with my Accordant Care nurse yesterday who says "Well I know you're so good about exercising, but I always ask, how has your exercise been?" And I'm "uh ... yeah ... what exercise." I've just let things go recently and decided to get back to it yesterday with Pilates and a walk. Today I dialed in for weights and this looked perfect. It is a perfect workout but I'm so deconditioned! A big wakeup call for me. Thank you Lauren. 💙
That's okay Patricia, don't be so hard on yourself! 5 lbs is great. Keep it up :)
Loved it just turned 70 was challenging but did the whole workout, loved the warm up and streaching.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Nilsa :)
Really love your workouts. Just the right amount of challenge and easy to follow. Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thank you 🤩
I am 73, this was my first time doing this exercise with you so I wasn't very graceful but will keep working with it. I only have 5 pound weights but they felt heavy enough for my first try with this exercise, I am sure I will improve with practice. Thank you for all these good videos.
Wonderful! That sounds like a great start Martha 🤩
Excellent! This was a wonderful workout and time flew by! Your prompts are great. Thank you! ❤🎉🙏☀️🥳
Yay, thank you! My pleasure Sandra :)
❤Ed this video! Your videos are the perfect combination of strength, stretching, balance, and cardio. Love the music choices and your cheerful demeanor. So glad this 60 year old active adult found your site!!
I'm so glad you found me too! Thank you for your kind words :)
I have recently found your great workout videos and I absolutely love them! I am so glad you don't play loud obnoxious music and you have a soft voice, it makes a world of difference! Just finished this workout with the weights. Very happy I found your site! I'll be back...😊😊
Great Bev! I'm so glad you found me and are enjoying my videos :)
This was a great full body workout and exactly what I needed after a few days rest. I’ll be replaying this for sure! Thanks very much.
Great Sandy! Happy to hear it :)
Hi Lauren, I learned yesterday while listening to a health podcast, that seniors should do at least 2 days per week of strength training. I'm 66 and this was a perfect workout. It's challenging but doable.
excellent! Thanks for working out with me Vivian :)
Good workout for anyone trying to get back into shape. 50 in November, tired of being tired. Thus I think the more I work my heart and muscles, not to mention mobility and balance the better off i will be.
Absolutely Emily! You have the perfect mindset :)
Hi 👋
I am neither a senior yet nor a beginner but I needed a gentle strength workout this morning I wasn’t feeling very energetic. I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually a challenging work out. It didn’t deplete me but it got me moving and sweating. Much appreciated. Thank you.
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and got a good workout :)
Enjoyed as always!🤗🥰 Thank U🥰
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Merri :)
Loved this workout. I felt it really challenged me and I am very pleased that I managed it. 75 year old with dodgy knees!
Wonderful! Great job Kathleen 🤩
movements rich in variety, effective, challenging, sweating, wonderful. Thank you so much. I feel this will really help build muscles. I loved it.
Great to hear Anita, thank YOU :)
Every new video that I try is a unique, rewarding experience. I especially liked the variety of lifts in this video. It’s not the same old exercises. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Virginia! You are most welcome :)
First time here, loved this workout. I will be working my way through your videos ❤
Awesome! Thank you Emma. I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
Lauren your workouts are perfect. Your personality makes me so calm while getting a perfect workout❤️ thank you. Keep them coming ❤

My pleasure Laura, I appreciate you working out with me :)
I love all of your workouts, so glad I found your channel.
Thanks so much Rebecca 🙌🏻

You're so welcome! I appreciate your kind words as always Lils!!!
My greetings and thanks Lauren for such a nice job. You never cease to surprise us with so many alternatives. A hug, happy day
Thank you! You too Mario!
Good Afternoon. Since today is my day to rest and recover my muscles, I watched this video as I drank some coffee. I fell in love with your format, calmness of presentation, pace, great energy...etc. 🔥💖 You are on tomorrow. Thank you .😊
💜💜💜
Awesome! I'm glad you are looking forward to it.
Hi Lauren, I am a 77 year old female and on February 1, 2024 I made a commitment to myself to begin an exercise program. I set my alarm for 5:15 am, take a cup of coffee back to bed, put on my exercise clothes and join you for the exercise workout for the day. I look forward to your exercise videos and see the results of this commitment to get strong. Thank you so much for this wonderful program- no gym membership and I can exercise comfortably in my own home. I enjoyed this workout, although challenging for me with the 8 lb. weights but I stayed with you.
You are an amazing teacher and I am grateful for you.
Wow! Great job! I'm so proud of you and all your new efforts AND the fact that you just started and used 8 pounds! That is amazing. Keep up the awesome work and thank you for your kind words :)
Hi Lauren. I just started your program after some life changing events that got me away from fitness. I absolutely love your workouts and they are easy to pick up and stay with. I plan on doing these to gain muscle and core strength (and some cardio) back in my life. I will be 70 in August.
Awesome! Thank you Pat. I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
Thank you so much. It feels great to get a hard workout in without going fast and furious! Love your calm and quiet, yet effective workouts!!!!
Thanks Amy, I appreciate that!!
As always new movement combinations and never boring! Wonderful, Lauren!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that Ebnet :)
Love, love ,love your workouts! Thank you
Thanks so much Maria, that's nice to hear!!
Oh WOW! This was good. Feel like my bum got kicked, but I stayed with it. Love all of the different moves. Thank you so much for the care and variety you put into these workouts!!!
My pleasure as always and thank you for your kind words :)
Great workout, Lauren! Thank you
Glad you liked it!! Thanks Gina🙌🏻
Thank you, Lauren. Im 71 and have been doing your workouts for a while, but this is my first comment. Weights have always been a favorite of mine and this one did not disappoint. Nice challenge with the heavier weights,
You're so welcome! I'm glad you like it Phyllis and I appreciate you working out with me :)
Love this workout- checks all the boxes- strength, balance and even some cardio. Thanks Lauren!
I’m thrilled you love it Susan 🤩
Hi Lauren, I recently turned 60 years old and my body is telling me to slow down with fast and furious strength training. I just found your videos and they are amazing for me !! I love your pace, variety and your workouts are still challenging. Thank you
Great Krista! I’m so you found my channel and the workouts are good for you! 🤩
Lauren what a fantastic workout, absolutely loved it. Loved the compound moves, the 60 seconds timing, so much packed into just 30 mins! Look forward to doing more like this. Thank you so much for posting
You're so welcome! I’m thrilled you love it 😍
That was the intensity and challenge I've been looking for! This was an excellent workout! Thank you so much! Love it!
You're so welcome! Thank you for working out with me 😀
Thank you, Lauren. I loved this workout. You didn't miss a thing. Your workouts are so much fun and thoughtful. As usual, I did my best. Looking forward to the next one. 😍
Yay! Thanks so much for your positive comments 🤩
Thank you so much! I am 59. .. will be 60 very soon .. this was a great pace, well instructed and centered on the exercise not a lot of flash etc. Keeping strength, mobility and balance are my goals. So glad I found your channel. THANK YOU!
Great Chris! I'm so glad you found me too :)
I love your workouts! I’m not very flexible so your videos are perfect for me. I feel stronger and feel my balance getting better. Thank you for these videos 💟
You're so welcome Laura! Nice to hear you are getting stronger :)
Loved this challenge. Especially love all your standing workouts for strength. Thank you so much!
So glad! Thanks Kiki 🤩
Hi Lauren
I'm 51 ( not probably classed as a senior 😅) l really enjoy your strength workouts. I particularly enjoyed this one.
I'd definitely benefit from more of these workouts! I find I can push myself. Thank you. ❤
Great Wendy! Only half of my viewers are over 60, so this is a great place for you 🤩
Love all the stretching!
Great Lynn!
Love these work out moments of strength training, just right for me. Thank you and God Bless you.
You're so welcome! I'm glad it's a good workout for you :)
Wow Lauren, this was awesome. That woodchuck move with the repeater knee was a real challenge, but a brilliant functional exercise for me. At this rate I'll be farming till I drop. Thanks so much.
I love your attitude Jane!!!
Thank you Lauren. Loved it
So glad! Thank you Nalini :)
Thanks so much Lauren.
What a workout. Targeting all the muscles.
Grateful for you. Encouraging & inspiring❤️
You're so welcome! I appreciate your kind words Lucie 😍
Love it ❤️. Had been waiting for a more challenging workout. Thanks Lauren!
You're so welcome!
Thanks Lauren, a real challenge with 8lbs. 💪🏾 I always look forward to your weekly workouts!!
You're so welcome! Glad you got a good workout 😍
Thankyou Lauren needed this today after eating to much chocolate yesterday !!! Great class 💐🙋
My pleasure Julie :)
I couldn't ask for anyone more to my liking to do workouts with! As a 58 year-old, new to weight-training, and overweight, your workouts are so good. I am feeling well challenged, yet enjoy the pleasant commentary from you, (including the reminders to keep the core engaged, tummy tucked, and knees bent, at appropriate moments!Thank-you for those!) I 've worked out with you 2-3 times per week for the last 6 weeks, and it has given me some new energy, and enthusiasm to do other things. I have only tried 4 differnt ones (focusing on strength training), but have liked them all. Thank-you so much, Lauren.
Wonderful Myrna! Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts! Keep up the great work :)
Hi, just found your workouts and love them! I will be 75 this year and had stopped exercising but found your workout to be interesting! Love your combo exercises! Certainly does make you feel muscles you didn't know you had! Thank you,
Wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me Millie :)
Thank you Lauren, I love all stand up exercise routines!💚
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you love it :)
Love this workout!!!
Awesome! Happy to hear it Karen :)
This was my first time moving from 5 to 8 pound weights. What a great workout! Thank you, Lauren, I'll look forward to more like this.
Awesome job Ann!!!
Another great start to the day!🙏
Have a great day Anastasia!
I'm so happy your channel has so many followers! You are my favorite!! Thanks for your time and effort❤
I appreciate that Julie, thank you :)
Thankyou Lauren great strength class 👍I can really tell my body is getting stronger 🙋❤️🎄
Yay Julie! That is great to hear :)
Love your videos! So well designed and paced. Thank you!
I appreciate that! Thank you Ann :)
Really enjoyed this workout, as working with weights is so important. I “did me” by adapting the weights due to ongoing shoulder injury. Thanks, Lauren 🤩
You're very welcome! so glad you enjoyed it :)
I liked the heavier weights and the harder combo exercises with them. Very nice!
Awesome! Thank you and great job Donna!
Greeting you from Thailand.
I am falling in love with your excercise.
Thank you to make me happy to love working out with you.❤🎉
Wonderful! I'm so glad you love my workouts! Keep up the great work :)
I'm behind in your workouts, but slowly catching up. This was great! Very challenging but excellent full body! Thank you for what you do, Lauren! You are blessed!🥰
I appreciate that and so glad you liked it :)
One of my favourites, and I don’t comment very often! Thanks
I appreciate that Marilyn :)
Perhaps I’m not quite senior but I’d recommend this for fellow 50 somethings who haven’t kept doing vigorous activities. I’ve built up exercise slowly for two and a half years and now feel happy with 1 or 2 kilo weights depending on the move. I also have Parkinson’s which is helped greatly by regular, sweat inducing exercise. If you can’t move that fast at first, just move in anyway you can, safely, for a few minutes and build up. Keep a record so you can see your progress!
Exactly! Great tips! Thanks for working out with me Nikki :)
