  • This is a beginner strength training workout created for seniors and beginners who have little-to-no experience. Strength training is great to building strength (obviously!), to get toned and best of all, to speed up metabolism! I explain each exercise as we go through them to ensure you understand proper form and technique. Even though I teach the exercises while standing, most of the exercises can also be followed by sitting in a chair. There will be no music in the background today since a lot of viewers have expressed they prefer no music when I am giving instructions. Please feel free to put your own music on in the background:)
    I did not include a warm-up simply because I feel a lot of people will do a cardio workout before. I have uploaded a 5 minute warm-up video you can do beforehand unless you are already doing a different cardio workout. Please challenge yourself by using heavier weights than you might usually use (I've explained it all in this video so you'll understand what weight to use). Feel free to message me on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com) if you have any questions.
    Please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you! Feedback is always welcome!
    Wishing you improved health!
    Jules

    I finally did it today, it’s deceivingly easy the 1 lb weights, I didn’t quite like the speed of it kinda fast for me . Thank you for this video. Please don’t stop counting it’s never boring it’s guidelines to follow

      Thanks so much for your feedback, Carmen. I should have expressed to people to definitely go at their own pace and slow down if needed. I will keep that in mind for future workouts for sure.

    So, back again - did the 20 minute walk and now this strength training. My arms are so slow to respond. BUT I did the plank for 30 trying seconds. Many thanks for keeping these workouts posted. I will move ahead one day to weeks 5-6. It takes some discipline to admit that I am not there yet. I for one enjoy and can focus on your instructions and counting -- you offset the body saying "what, stop this...you are done..."!

      Congrats on holding the plank for 30 seconds…that’s great! It is a tough exercise. I’m so glad you’re doing the strength workouts. Trust me, they’ll get easier over time.

    Awesome strength training session Jules. I love your voice and your temp and your counting is never ever annoying 😊
    This has nothing to do with the workout itself but I love your leggings!! They are so beautiful ❤️ Do you know where you got them? I swear you need to start a clothing line 💖

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Рік тому +1

      Thanks Mala:) All of the leggings in my workouts that are a little bit different (with the colourful designs) are from a market I went to in Halifax. This was my first pair and then I got in touch with the designer and asked her to make me more. They're reasonably priced and are super stretchy so they fit all sizes.

    I previewed the workout and I thought I would be able to use my 5 lb. weights for the arms. Ha! I started with my three's and I was begging for mercy by the second round when we hold our arms straight out in front. I used my two's for the rest of the arms. It had been many, many years since I'd touched my 2 lb. weights! I was able to go pretty heavy on the rest, thankfully. Thanks!

      Congrats on getting back to strength training! I think you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll build strength back if you do strength workouts 2-3 times a week. Kudos to you for being here and wanting to get stronger!

      @@ImprovedHealth I've been strength training all along, but I'm used to doing lower reps and fewer sets with heavier weights. It just goes to show me that I need to incorporate light weight, high rep workouts to improve my endurance. Slow, heavy reps is my happy place, but I'll try to work in some high rep workouts in my routine.

    Week 3, day 1st of 2 strength training. I am such a beginner. These were hard. I use the weights that I have (1 and 3 kgs each). Thank you for continuing to make these work outs available. They are an important hook. Just start each morning. If I once start, I let the workout pull me to the end.

    • @ImprovedHealth

      You are doing so well with consistently working out. You'll notice a change in your strength quite quickly if you do the strength workouts 2-3 times a week.

      You'll gain strength quickly. Maybe to start just use very light weights and do less repetitions for each exercise. Over time you will get stronger.

    OK Jules, I give up! Where is/are the video's for Weeks 1 and 2?

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  9 місяців тому

      This video is week 1 and 2:) It’s meant to be done 2-3 times a week for the first two weeks. When you feel ready after 2 weeks or so, you can move onto the next video.

    • @jacqlege7231
      @jacqlege7231 9 місяців тому +1

      Wait - this video says Weeks 3 and 4, and you also say that at the beginning of the video ?! Sorry, I’m confused.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  9 місяців тому

      Hi! I created one video which is meant to be done 2-3 times a week for two weeks. After you feel you have mastered the moves and the exercises, you can move to the next video (weeks 3 & 4) and do that video for two weeks. You can do the same workout for as many weeks as you want, but each video is a progression so move on to the next one when you're ready (likely after two weeks).@@jacqlege7231
