Senior Fitness - Resistance Band Exercises Full Body Workout
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 тра 2019
- In this session, we are incorporating more resistance band routines into our exercise.
Resistance bands come in many weights of resistance so only use a band that you are comfortable with. If a lighter weight works better for you than always choose your comfort level.
We're doing a full body workout today which helps with all areas of the body. We put a lot of stress and strain on our bodies throughout the week and working with resistance in our workouts helps with strengthening areas that we use the most.
Arms, legs, core, shoulders etc. are all places we can strengthen with resistance bands and not to mention, they're fun to use!
Remember to drink lots of water, breathe and take your time with your comfort level.
Have a great workout!

Senior Fitness With Meredith is this good as a cardio exercise
Im a New subscriber, great workout, I live it here! Thank you and God bless
Totally agree. I have fibromyalgia. Too fast..
thank you
I know this is an older video, so I hope you get to see my comment. It's March 2023, and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your seated workouts. Almost a year ago, I had a heart attack following a stroke six months prior. My PT introduced me to your channel at the rehab facility where I recovered after an extended hospital stay. It has been a much slower recuperation process than I'd hoped, but I made decent progress - until I got Covid over Christmas. It was a HUGE setback. I'm only just starting to feel a little more like myself. Although it's been difficult, I'm so-o-o very thankful for the gentle, slow but strengthening movements you demonstrate clearly and patiently (without any weird condescending attitude). It's like you understand my struggle with limited energy and low stamina as I am unable to participate in high intensity standing or floor exercises right now. I'm committed to improving my health prognosis for the chronic diseases I'm overcoming and determined to regain my full mobility. Your content is helping me succeed. THANKS, Meredith!
Hello Antoinette! Let me start with how proud I am of you and your hard work! I’m so happy you enjoy my workouts, and please know I am always here for you!
Take care, Meredith

Im gonna wish you nothing but success in achieving every goal you set for yourself but in my heart I have no doubt you WILL surpass all your objectives!!! Thanks again!!!

Hi Meredith,, I'm 66 years young.😊. Thanks for sharing your Resistance Band exercises. It helps me to lower my blood pressure and blood sugar fast. I'm from Indonesia. Best of luck.
Thank you so much!! I’m so happy you enjoy these workouts!
WOW... I am sooo impressed, best workout (senior or otherwise) that I have found - easy to follow, very clear what to do, and exactly the right amount of work for us seniors with some limited energy and capabilities. Made me feel like I finally have found a teacher/trainer I can stick with!!

Excellent set, thank you once again, Meredith! I was looking for some efficient complementary workout for my swimming sessions. Seems that’s exactly what I need.
You're so welcome! I am happy they are a great compliment to your swimming!
I do band resistant exercises in all my classes ; but she is amazing , this is such a great great program,,

I thank you so much for that! I am so happy she enjoys my workouts!
I had no idea how much of a good workout these resistance band helps you with. Now I know why so many at the gym are using it. This is being added to my morning routine thank you.
Yes, bands are amazing! Keep up the great work !
I just did this workout. I'm 50 and obese and I finally found a resistance program that I can complete. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this workout!
Great job! I am so proud of you! I am here for you, you can do it!
I have been searching for the perfect band exercise program and this checks all the boxes. Thank you for this!

Seems just what I was looking for, to gradually work at muscle building. I have shoulder impingement, & bursitis that mainly affects my mobility of my R. Shoulder & arm. Have been picking up randomly exercises, on UA-cam, unfortunately nothing that I could corporate as a daily workout, that would motivate me daily to pursue. Thank you.
Thank you so much Hera!! I am here for you!!
I like this exercise the stretch band it is wonderful thank you
Yaaas. But please slow down 😮
Thank you so much for this Meredith. What a comprehensive workout.
I am learning how to properly use the bands as I have a lifetime of using weights and many times the bands allow me to connect or “feel” the contractions of the muscles better and they seem to feel safer as well.
I’ll be following this workout and any others workouts or helpful videos that you may have.
It feels good to be able to transition into a new modality that just seems better for me as I approach 60.
Thank you for sharing this video and for your professional help and guidance.
Way to go Robert, thank you!
My go to band exercise, thank you
Thank you!
Thanks for they exercises as they seem great and so far best for me. I've not been swimming over lockdown and have sore knees and trying to strengthen up the surrounding muscles when not out walking. Thanks
Great work Jan! I’m proud of you!
Thank you for putting this out there! I love your page and it gets me to do exercise before I go to work. I feel so good doing the exercises!! Thank you lots!!
😃
Thank you so much Marianna!! I’m proud of you!! Keep up the great work! I’m here for you 💖
I'm so glad I found your video, Meredith. I am a big proponent of resistance band training. That's all I do now after using weights for many years. Your routine in this video is PERFECT for my 89-year-old mom who wants to exercise at home. I am ordering her two sets of your recommended TheraBands so she can have one set untied, and another set tied. And, of course, I'm going to share your video with her. I'll let you know how she likes it. I'm sure she will!
Hi Scott! What a wonderful comment, thank you so very much! I am so very happy you found the channel and the resistance bands workouts. I do believe they will be great for your mom:) I really look forward to hearing back to how she likes them...it is very exciting for her!
I am very proud of her for trying my workout, and I am proud of you for helping her!
Take care and stay healthy, you both! Meredith
Thanks SO much Meredith for this brilliant video.
I broke my arm near the shoulder after a nasty fall rushing at home/tripping over a carpet gripper.
Regaining full muscle movement has been slow (and painful).
I am indebted to my wonderful, wonderful husband for all he had to do throughout the many weeks of me being unable even to dress/undress myself.
I continue to be indebted also to Worcester Royal's Physiotherapy Dept - and its brilliant physiotherapist Rachel - for all her support and the exercises given me to do in between appointments.
Prior to breaking my arm I used to attend weekly Senior Keep Fit sessions (and bought myself a couple of resistance bands to use).
Serendipity led me to find your Senior Fitness - Resistance Band Exercises video Meredith.
I just know that, in addition to continuing with the exercises recommended by the wonderful physiotherapist Rachel, if I - sensibly - follow those in your video, I will be able to WOW Rachel at my next appointment.
AND, when I regain, full movement I will continue to exercise with my bands watching your amazing video.
Thanks so much.
Kay
So great to hear Kay! You are doing amazing, keep up the great work and keep me posted on your progress!! Take care and stay well, Meredith
Thank you, I enjoyed this workout. Your instructions are easy to follow.
You're so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for that wonderful invigorating and joint loosening session.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Meredith. Love this band workout. Thank you so much
Thank you Diane!
I truly enjoy your resistance bands & dumbbell weight exercises for seniors. Thank you for these videos!
Thank you Adora!!
I’m so glad to have found you. I’m 51, but have numerous health issues that keep me from doing “traditional” workouts. I love all the video options and can’t wait to start tomorrow!
I am so glad you found me too!:) I am here for you, you can do it!!
Thank you for the free videos. This pandemic has really impacted on 60+ age group as it's been nearly 2 years of not being able to move freely within Australia especially. Due to mask wearing & other limitations in this country particularly so many of us have been sedentary and the end result is massive muscle loss & weight gain. Have done the well with dropping the excess weight but getting active again is so difficult
Thank you so much Cheryl! It is difficult to get active and moving again, but you can do it! I’m here for you along the way!!🎉💕
Very effective! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! I am so glad it helps!
I am recovering from a stroke and my physical therapist started with me using the resistance bands to strengthen my body. I needed to learn to walk all over again and the exercises really worked. When I was released from the hospital, I found Meredith's exercises and doing these really helped out a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH MEREDITH!! Now I am using the beans for a full body workout. I never realized that using the bands were so effective! 🦾
I am so proud of you Stephen, keep up the great work!! I am here for you whenever needed!!
Full body workout without leaving your chair. Love it. Will do this at work.
That is great Nyasha! I’m so proud of you!!
I m so happy this work out nice and gentle i do every othter day no problem
I’m so proud of you!! Keep up the great work!
Meredith thank you so much for your videos… I just turned 67 and during this pandemic I put on about 40 pounds… Five weeks ago I started the keto lifestyle… And I’m down 21 pounds… I ordered my resistor bands and I’m walking about 2 miles a day but your videos are perfect while I’m at work and I have some spare time. I haven’t stretched in a long time So this is perfect thank you so much
Hi Joyce! I am so excited for you and your new health journey. I am very proud of you!! Remember to stay positive through it all, and don't get upset with yourself if things aren't going your way...you will get back on track!! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for the support!! Take care and stay healthy, and keep me posted!!
Meredith
I just discovered Meredith. This is awesome.
I was looking for some exercises for my mom who is slowly getting old (60) and needs to start doing some light exercise. Thanks for the tips! She can start out with 5 minutes a day because she can do it at home (no excuses) and I believe she will build a habit. Also, your videos are nice, you are very cute and you have positive vibes, thank you for doing this.
Thank you so much Frederik! I am so happy you found my workouts, and they will be a good fit!! I appreciate the support, I am here for you and your mom!!
Fabulous!!! Thanks so much!!!
You are so welcome! Glad it helped you, and your class :)
Great workout. I love working out using bands an I was looking for a seated one and this fit the bill. The various moves kept it interesting and doable without overworking any one area. Thank you.
Thank you Sheila!!
Thank you so much for this video! Perfect for my Alzheimer's & wheelchair-bound seniors at the facility where I work every morning with them!
That is wonderful Chava!! I’m so happy you enjoy and are able to use my workouts! Tell all the participants Hi from me!!
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith I will! I work at a facility at the shores of the one and only lake we have in Israel. Isn't it exciting how far away your teaching videos make a difference? I think you are in Canada, right?
That is amazing!! I’m in Arizona actually!
It truly inspires me knowing the difference we make, and how far it can reach!! Thank you for the support!
Wow. Effective. Thank you AGAIN!
Thank you Dave!
Best resistance band workout I have found. Saving to favorites.
Thank you so much!! Keep up the great work!
This is so efective!!
Thanks a lot,Meredith!!
Thank you!!
Excellent full body exercise through movement with resistance. Increase resistance band difficulty as you progress. I’m 72 and active. These exercises are very useful. Thanks!
Thank you!! I am so happy you enjoyed the workout and found it helpful:) Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
I'm new to band exercises and found your sessions helpful. Thanks
Way to go Ronald, thank you!
Meredith, Love this band work out. Added it to my weekly exercises. Thank you
Great Diane!
i'm not a senior, but i haven't been into exercise, so thanks for your video! battling health issues and excessive abdominal adipose. WAs shocked when i measured my waist, something i don't do.
Thank you Sandy! I’m happy you found my workouts and they are a help to you! Keep me posted on your health issues, and how you are feeling! Take care, Meredith
Thanks for the great workout. I just did this one while in my living room.
Thank you for tuning in! So glad you were able to give this workout a try. - Meredith
As a former aerobics instructor I find your workouts extremely beneficial, instructions are great your encouragement motivating just an overall great class very thorough. Thank you!
Hi Deborah! Thank you so much for the wonderful comments...I am so happy you enjoyed the workout! Keep up the great work!
Take care and stay safe!
Meredith
A therapist gave me a resistance band and only had time to show we a couple of things. I am so happy i found this video. Again, you are fantastic in your instruction. Love your personality.
Thank you so much Alice!
I'm 48 but have health issues that keep me from doing a lot of strenuous workouts. I find with these I can go slower or harder with them for how I am feeling physically that day and I still swear and burn calories.
I’m so proud of you!! No matter the age, doing what is best for you and listening to the body…keep up the great work!! I’m here for you!
I recently purchased resistance bands and needed a good workout. This video was perfect for this beginner. Thank you for your commitment to helping us stay fit.
I am so proud of you Marcia! Way to go!! I am here whenever needed:) Take care and stay well, Meredith
Thank you, Meredith! Love this video!
Thank you!!
I'm really grateful for your videos. After a total knee replacement surgery six months ago and at home mostly because of the Covid pandemic, I had difficulty in finding a workout for the whole body that I could follow till the end. Now I can do almost everything and I keep feeling better and stronger day after day. Thank you, you're a great instructor and an amazing person!
Thank you so much Katerina! I am truly grateful for your support, and your kind words! I am also so proud of you for finding a workout, sticking with it, and getting stronger every day! Way to go, and don’t forget I am here for you 💖☺️
Excellent work out. Thanks for thinking about seniors,
Thank you Mario! Take care!
Just did your workout. It was amazing!! Thank you for your wonderful work you do to help people. Feel great after doing this.
Thank you so much!
Hello Meredith, hope you and yours are well...
Still hanging in there especially being 80 and with more restrictions here in Toronto its great to be able to have you guiding me and a few of my neighbours ( not together) through these exercises, love the fact how you constantly remind me to inhale exhale, being so used to not deep breathing correctly I am amazed how I am learning how to do this as well Be Safe Be Well!
Hi Neil!! I am so happy you have found the channel, and your neighbor's there in beautiful Toronto are doing the workouts too :) It makes me so very happy that we can help in some way during these difficult times! Also, I love the comment that the guided breathing is helping you...it is so very important and usually forgotten. Very happy to hear that the reminders are helping and you are learning:)
Again, thank you Neil for watching and participating! Continue to keep moving...and stay happy and stay healthy!
Take care!
Meredith
I have to be careful thanks to arthritis in my knee and spine. It's a slow, steady recovery. Thanks for this, recently purchased a strong rubber band which works well here.
Way to go David! Slow and steady is my motto too! I am proud of you!!
I could only do light exercises today and this was perfect, Thank you😊
Thank you Maryellen!
So my wife has never been much for working out, but after showing her your video and letting her know I bought 2 sets of bands for my mom and she is going to do your exercises, my wife decided to as well! So I bought her 2 sets of bands as well. Thanks again, Meredith!
Hi again Scott! That is even better news:) So so wonderful, wife and mom working out along with me...can not get any better than that!! Great job getting them involved!
Take care, Meredith
What a great routine!
Thanks!!
Thank you Tomas!! I am happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much Meredith!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Excellent job Meredith with your explanations. At 61 young years of age I find your resistance band workout a nice compliment to my senior game of pickleball.
Thank you so much! And keep it up to keep your pickleball game at its best:)
Good workout. I appreciate seated because I have 2 replaced knees and I can get a good workout this way. Thank you!
Hi! I am so happy you found the channel and the seated workouts are great for you right now. I have many low impact cardio, and even the posture balance & stretch that can benefit your knees by helping to strengthen all the muscles around the knee. Let me know how you progress! Take care and stay well, Meredith
That was a brilliant exercise. Thank you very much.
Thank you Doutsen!
Thanks you very much i will do this exercise again 💪
Thank you Marjorie, I am so happy you enjoy the workout!!

What a great workout, thanks so much ~🌟
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Hello!! I'm recovering from knee surgery so I was looking for low impact strength training and this is perfect for me! I enjoy watching your videos and I like that I can go at my own pace while you're at your own pace. I'm hoping you can put on more videos that workout your entire body. Thank you!!!!!
Hi Bernice! I am so happy you have found the videos, and they are benefiting you especially after knee surgery. And I am very happy and proud that you go at your pace, as you ease back into working out. I am definitely working on more videos, including full-body workouts!
Keep up the great work!!
Take care and stay healthy!
Meredith
I come back to this often! Thank you💝😁
Glad you enjoy it!
Exercises are perfect,
Thank you
Thank you!! I appreciate your support so much!!
Great exercise ,thanks so much .👌🙏🦋
Thank you!!
Wow! Thank you ❤️
You are very welcome! Thank you!!
I love your work out . I fallow every day .❤️❤️
Hi Anindita! I am so happy you are enjoying the workouts on my channel!! I truly appreciate you, your support, and your hard work!! Great job! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Perfect workout for me! My heart rate got up there, and I love these shorter workouts. I find I get sort of bored with long workouts, I’m not a very physical person. I managed to do a 23 minute walk, an 11 minute video earlier, and finished off my day with this video which was about 14 minutes of exercise, just right.
Thank you for making exercise more doable for us seniors.
That is so wonderful, I’m so proud of you!! Thank you!
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith My comment actually got attached to the wrong workout. I was referring to "Senior Fitness - Low Impact Cardio Workout". I do plan on trying the resistance band workout too. I have some bands, some with handles, and some plain that were given to me at PT.
This may be a year old but it is the first time I have tried it. It was good, I feel like I know where some muscles might be lol. I have always struggled knowing where I should be moving from, what should be working and I found this simple to follow as well which really helped. Branching out from the cardio videos... Who said 2020 was a waste of a year?.. I have personally discovered more to help live a healthy life than my other 40 years on this earth. I feel 2020 has been a blessing in many ways. (yes, it's been dreadful I agree, but if I focus on the good, the good things multiply)
What a beautiful comment! Thank you for that! So true, this year has been so difficult for everyone but lots of good has come out of it, and I love your positive attitude about positive thinking!! So wonderful! Keep it up, I am so proud of you! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Great video this one was challenging thank you.
Thank you Samhayne, so glad you enjoyed this workout. Take care!
🎉 Thank You!
Sure need this. Thank you. and you are very pleasant and informative. Cya on Tues & Thursdays for sure. Who knows I just may add you to my morning stretch routine. daily.
ps - after reading the comments. I'm 81, had a stroke a bit over a year ago. I have a therapy pool nearby where I walk on a treadmill and have an endless river coming towards me 3 days a week. I know I'm in need of resistance training. Upper body needs strengthening as well. I'm looking forward to our session with you tomorrow. :) I'll start here and work my way towards working all of your videos. Thank you.
I am so proud of you Eileen!! And I thank you for the support!
great work out will be back monday wed friday nice instruction
Thank you Dave!!
Outstanding work with the therapy bands, I use to use the bands to pump up doing competition, NPC.
I became a SARescue and would swim for hours. I equated bands with swimming.
I have added
I too encourage ppl to be realistic with training and have pointed ppl in your direction.
I found I could double the bands and even do dynamic tension hold as you executed you range of motion.
Good job
Thank you so much, I’m so happy this workout is good for you! And thank you for the support!!
Great workout! Subscribed ❤
Thank you Debbe!
Very useful for joint pain, thank you for this video

Hi,
I’m an 80 year old with limited movement in each shoulder through RA.
I’ve tried several from the Sunflower Channel & the Christie Chanel videos, which are good, but I wanted something different so I’ll follow this video tomorrow. I’ve got a red band is that ok.?
My wife and I are just starting to use these bands. Not si=ure how to know which color band to get for each of us. I am using black and she has light blue. I guess after using them for an exercise we can judge from there./ This is areally good looking routine to start with. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you Jay! So glad to hear this workout has helped both you and your wife. Here is a video we posted a few weeks ago on resistance bands if you have any questions. Thank you again! and best of luck! www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/which-resistance-bands-should-you-buy/
Helpful exercises.
Thank you Denise!!
Thanks 💪🙏🙏
Thank you Ndarin! Way to go, keep up the great work:)
I posted on another video how much longer liked your exercises and sequence. Thanks for replying.
Just found this video and like it even more! My groups are 8-30 people at several senior living communities. The age range is 75-98! Their comprehension is much slower than a younger senior population and I had a challenge getting them all to position the panda correctly! I speak slowly and make sure they can see me and how I place the band.
I do think this particular sequence will be more user friendly to the advanced senior. I will be testing it today with two large groups.
A question: many seniors have shoulder impingement or pain which limits their ability to take the band often to even shoulder level! Up and overhead isn’t even a consideration. What do you suggest as an alternative to still hit the intended muscles? Now I just saw raise it to your level of comfort. Any suggestions you have are appreciated!
I’m really glad I found your channel. Your videos are much less complicated than numerous others I’ve saved.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching Carol! and for trying out the workouts and movements with your groups. Please let me know how they liked it, and how it worked for them. And any suggestions you have, I would love to hear any feedback :)
As far as your question is concerned...I too rarely do any overhead movements. Side raises no higher than shoulder level, but enough to get contraction in the shoulder muscles is my suggestion. Also, upright rows, again, even if range of motion is smaller but the shoulder muscles are being utilized...that is what we are looking for.
I hope that helps....and please let me know how it works out for your classes!
Take care!! - Meredith
This is the third of your resistance band exercises I've tried and it is my favorite. Could you comment on the pros and cons of resistance bands vs. free weights?
Hi Catherine! Thank you for the comment and support of the channel and workouts! As far as pros and cons, there are so many too many to list. I will say it is a matter of preference, first and foremost. With weights, you know the "weight" you are using, vs a band that you control how much resistance/"weight" you put on it. Also, bands get to all the small areas in and around the muscles which I like, vs weights that target the larger muscle groups in most general exercises.
Again, I think switching between the two is a great way to get benefits from both and really work the entire body.
Keep up the great work!!
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Wonderful ! I have Sacroiliitis hence have bilateral sciatica and also can't control my lower body well while walking and fall easily.If you can make a video for patients like me.
I will work on that Anu, thank you!!
