Introductory Kettlebell Workout For Seniors (Intermediate Level)
In this 23-minute video, we guide you through a series of simple kettlebell exercises designed to engage your entire body.
Simple Kettlebell Exercises FOR SENIORS
What are kettlebells?
Kettlebells are cast iron or steel weights, typically shaped like a cannonball with a handle on top, used to do certain exercises. They look like this.
They range in weight from usually around 4 kg (9 lbs) and can go up to 92 kg (203 lbs), for those very, very serious about their strength training :) ..
Many are usually covered in coloured vinyl, to help you easier identify the weight. Which look like this.
They are designed to be swung, lifted, and manoeuvred in dynamic movements that engage multiple muscle groups and can improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility.
So…. do you need to use them to get fitter and stronger? Nope!
But……. they are a great piece of exercise equipment, if you want to change up your training and try something different.
To change things up we go through some simple kettlebell exercises to work your whole body. So if you have some kettlebells, grab them and get moving with me! (You can do that by clicking the video below, or HERE)!
This video is an introductory kettlebell video and it is for those at a more intermediate-advanced level.
In the first part of the video (Round 1), I teach the exercise before we get into them for repetitions. Remember good exercise technique is crucial.
In the second part (Round 2) it is more fluid with the exercises (less chat).
We also go through some short mobility exercises in the beginning and a short stretch at the end.
Now if you don’t have kettlebells, they can be purchased from department or sports stores, or online. Or, you can follow along to this exercise video without any weight and still get in a good workout, you can also use a hand weight in place of the kettlebell.
I hope you enjoy this workout! More to come soon!
Remember to stay moving!
Stay healthy! Stay active, stay happy! and I’ll see you soon!

Get stronger, improve your flexibility and fitness, move better and feel better with this 55-minute, seated, full chair workout for seniors, working every area of the body.
SENIORS’ 55-MINUTE CHAIR WORKOUT - GET STRONGER OVER 60
Today’s workout is one that I feel is the best completely seated exercise video I have put together to date (without equipment).
Why do I think this? Because it is the most comprehensive, covering almost every exercise one can do whilst seated in a chair.
We cover the following:
Warm Up
Neck Exercises
Shoulder Exercises
Upper Back Exercises
Arm Exercises
Core Exercises
Hip Exercises
Knee Exercises
Stretches for the Whole Body
Relaxation
As you can see, ALL areas of the body are targeted. It is also the longest we have done to date, going for just under 1 hour.
If you are new to exercise this is the video to start at.
If you can only only do exercise whilst seated, this is the one to start at.
If you’re in charge of a class where everyone has different capabilities, this is the video to put on.
If someone you know is losing strength and mobility, this is the one for them to start at. (Make sure to share it with them).
It’s the ultimate seated workout.
And… If you have been exercising for some time, you can do the exercises standing and/or add in hand weights or ankle weights to make it more challenging.
To get moving with me click the video below.
If 55-minutes is too long for you, I have also uploaded a 35-minute version which covers the main exercises. You can find this here.
I hope you enjoy today’s workout!
