intermediate Full Body Workout For Seniors
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.

Also, If you want to purchase the resistance band I use in this exercise video (and many other videos) which is simple to use, you can do so HERE.
Always make sure you see your doctor or Vestibular Physiotherapist before undertaking these exercises.

In this video, we go through an intermediate upper body endurance exercise video working the upper body to improve your strength.
Improve Upper Body Endurance (Intermediate Level)
Join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) for a new Strength Saturday Exercise Session (#7). Where we work the endurance of our Upper Body!
This week we are going to continue working our muscular endurance but this time for the upper body. Or more specifically the muscles of the chest, the back, the shoulders, and the arms by doing exercises for higher repetitions, with a resistance band and hand weights.
Muscular endurance for the upper body is required in your daily life when doing tasks that use the upper body for prolonged periods (eg. carrying shopping bags) and is also good for your posture.
Again… If you’re a beginner to these exercises, start with the first set and do what you can. Over time keep challenging yourself to do a little more. Gradual progressions!
So let’s get moving!

Improve Leg Endurance Exercises (Intermediate Level)
Join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) for a new Strength Saturday Exercise Session (#6). Where we work the endurance of our legs!
Today we are not only going to work our strength, but we are going to focus more so on our muscular endurance!
In case you have forgotten, Muscular strength is the amount of weight you can lift or move.
Muscular endurance is how many times you can move or lift that weight, before you get exhausted.
Muscular endurance is important in your day to day life, to move and to lift things. Think about when you are to walk up a large flight of stairs, or go on a large walk (especially with hills). Your muscular endurance is being tested.
As with any component of fitness, muscular endurance can be trained and improved…. at any age.
Which is what we do today. Today’s exercise video we do higher repetitions and use equipment to work that muscular endurance (and strength).
So let’s get moving!

I’m sure you know the importance of having good physical strength.
There are many benefits that come from being stronger but to summarise, when you have good strength, life is going to be much easier.
And…… you can get stronger at ANY age, by training your strength.
Strength is the most important component of fitness you can work on. When you train to get stronger you will find other areas of your fitness improving also. For example, improved cardiovascular fitness, improved balance, coordination, weight loss and more.
This is why I started Strength Saturday. To dedicate a whole day to strengthening exercises, so workouts can be varied, and many areas can be targeted.
