Advanced Strengthening Exercises For Seniors

10-Minute Strength Workout For Seniors (Advanced)

Join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) for another Saturday exercise session to get you stronger. (Strength Saturday No.3). This session is more advanced level.

When your body is stronger, life will be easier. Improve your strength each week with hand weights, resistance bands, and ankle weights.

Remember there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to exercise (and for getting healthy for that matter).
However, to make improvements with exercise, there is a process. Tonight I just wanted to remind you of that process.

The first step is finding where you are currently at.

I see and hear from a lot of people who get disheartened when they can’t do certain exercises, or they feel as if everyone else is doing so well and they’re not……..

But this does not matter. Forget all this and Find YOUR capabilities.

Once you’ve done this, you want to stay consistent exercising at your level. Soon enough the exercises will become easy as you get stronger and fitter.

It’s now time to progress the exercises so you continue to make improvements, as you have now reached a new level.

There are many ways you can progress exercise. From increasing repetitions, increasing sets, increasing the weight, decreasing the rest time, increasing time exercising and more. Slow and steady. You’re in no rush.

There are also ways to modify the exercises to make them less challenging if they are too difficult. Sometimes we need to take a step or two back before we can move forward.

So let’s get moving with today’s workout!
