LEG ENDURANCE EXERCISES FOR SENIORS
Doing exercises for your legs should be the priority when it comes to your exercise program. This is the reason I have created many leg exercise videos in the past.
Your legs are your foundation! They keep you mobile, independent, and able to do everyday activities like walking, standing, and climbing stairs.
When your legs are strong, you move with confidence. When they have endurance, you can keep going without tiring too quickly.
So what’s the difference between leg strength and leg endurance:
Leg Strength is about how much force your muscles can produce to perform tasks like lifting, standing up, or pushing for example.
Leg Endurance is about stamina—how long your muscles can keep working before they get tired.
Both are essential if you want to be moving better. But… if you find yourself tiring too quickly, and you want to be walking further, working on endurance can make a big difference.
So, how do you build endurance?
Endurance is built through consistent, moderate-intensity activity over time.
One effective way to build endurance is by doing higher reps of exercises. Higher repetitions help your muscles adapt to working for longer periods without fatiguing too soon.
Another great way to improve leg endurance is by gradually increasing your walking distance, or challenging yourself with stairs and different terrains. This helps your muscles become more efficient and better equipped for longer or more intense activities.
It's important to build it up slowly—give your body time to adapt.
And with that said... Let’s get moving with some simple but effective leg endurance exercises in the beautiful outdoors to help you move better for longer.

In today’s video we we do exercises at a slower tempo with higher repetitions, and we also use equipment in the form of hand weights (dumbbells) and a resistance band.
If you don’t have the equipment, that’s ok! You can still follow along and get a great workout!
The video is 20 minutes long; however, I designed it so that even doing the first set will get results (you can progress to the 3 sets over time if you’re not quite at this level!). And in the first set, we don’t use equipment.
