This 20 Min Strength Training for Seniors and Beginners features 10 gentle exercises for seniors using dumbbells or the weight of your choice to build muscle, increase bone density, burn fat, and boost feel-good hormones. This senior workout weights will increase your strength and improve your balance to keep you mobile and prevent falls.

Whether seated or standing, these exercises cater to all fitness levels. Each exercise comprises 12 repetitions, aiming for 8-12 reps per set. Incorporate 1-3 sets in one session to efficiently build muscle. Elevate your well-being through this accessible and empowering workout, tailored specifically for seniors and beginners seeking a gentle yet effective approach to strength training.

Without weights, this workout can be done everyday. But strength training like this that hits all of your major muscle groups with weights should be done twice a week with at least one day of rest to allow your muscles to recover. The weight you choose depends on the exercise -- so for shoulder work, stick with no weights or very light weights because small muscles support your shoulder joint. Here's a link to more info and a video on how to select the right weight: https://bit.ly/36XbTDs
