In this exercise session, we are going through a great standing cardio routine in 2 phases, the first with simple hand dumbbells and the second just using our body weight.
Cardio routines using with and without weights are a great way to get your body warmed up and moving. The goal is to raise your heart rate just enough so that you get your blood flowing to all areas of your body.
Your upper body; arms, shoulder, upper back, etc and down to your lower body; thighs, hips, calves, and feet, etc.
These areas all benefit from cardio as well as the most important muscle in our body, our heart!
For this workout, you can use lightweight dumbbells or substitute using bottles of water or cans of soup. You can also skip weights altogether and just follow along with your motions.
Either way, your body will still benefit from the range of motion that this exercise takes you through.
Remember to drink lots of water and only do movements that work for you. Never do any movements that may cause you pain or discomfort and remember to take breaks whenever you need to.
Have a great workout!

Thank you for trying this workout! Let us know if there is anything you'd like to see in the comments or drop us a line at www.SeniorFitnessWithMeredith.com. Thank You! - Team Meredith
Great workout for seniors!! I will introduce it to my seniors neighbors.! Thank you!
Thank you Patricia!!
So great to be back at it. You’re awesome
Way to go Dave, I’m proud of you!
I enjoy Meredith’s work out routines so much. I’ve forwarded each to all my friends. Thank you Meredith for allowing me to feel like you’re never to old to have a satisfying workout with weights.
That makes me so happy Maria! I’m very proud of you, and I am here whenever you need me!!
My husband and I do this session twice daily, we repeat the second half to give us 30min sessions. It’s made a huge difference to us and it’s great having a buddy. With other normal activity we usually clock up 10.000 steps every day even though we don’t leave the house as we’re shielding. I feel that my general posture is improving hugely from what I’ve learned in the session. Thank you so much for all the work you do for seniors.
Hi Isobel! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment!! That makes me so very happy that the workouts are helping you and your husband feel better and improve yourselves in many ways!!I am privileged to being your buddy and working out together:) Keep up the great work, both of you! Take care and stay healthy!! Meredith
This is the first time I tried this one. I like being able to use the dumbbells for part of it. I definitely worked up a sweat! Between this and gardening and the food program I again use (MyPlate) I have lost 6 pounds since May 20th and I am NOT starving myself or going hungry. At (nearly) 69 years of age I am more focused on my health than on vanity but it will be nice when clothing fits better again! It will be a bonus. 🥰
I am so proud of you, way to go!! Keep up the great work and remember I am here for you!!
Great video. Thank you💕
Thank you Willie!!
Hi Meredith: Been away from exercising for a bit due to some dental work, but back on track now and will do it every day. Thank you for all your inspiration. Wrote you a few months ago and told you that my husband passed away almost 2 years ago, then a battle with breast cancer. But I am here and doing well and back to my exercising. Thank you for all you do.
Hello! So great to hear from you again!! Yes, you are an inspiration!! I am so proud of you, and look forward to us picking back up and starting our journey again!! We can do this, and I am here for you when needed!! Keep it up! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
I was able to get my heart rate into cardio zone per my Fitbit. Thanks.
Way to go Mary!!
Happy New Year
It's good to be back 🏋️
Happy New Year Elizabeth!!
🎉 Thank You!
Great cardio workout!!
Thank you Dawn!!
Awesome execise for Seniors...simple moves yet💗 effective!!
Thank you so much!
Meredith you are so wonderful 😊
Thank you Rocco, you are too!!
Meredith, second time I've tried this workout and was able to do all of it, Yay!!!. At almost 73, I'm trying to strengthen my upper body from my head to my thighs:) Thank you, this is a challenging one, but I like it!!!
My Favorite Workout Video
Thanks Peter!!
I love absolutely everything Meredith does. She is so encouraging and her voice is so soothing so I don’t even realize I’m exercising. She is constantly reminding us to keep core tight, shoulders relaxed, and to keep breathing. I have tried so many exercise videos but with me being not quite as spry at 72, I couldn’t always keep up which was so discouraging. I am never discouraged by any of Meredith’s videos. In fact I can’t wait to do them and I find myself doing an hour or more because they are so much fun! I just had extensive hand surgery and couldn’t do the videos for a couple of weeks. I was going nuts so started back up, not telling my surgeon because he would tell me not to do them. I was very cautious and used a 1 pound weight in that hand. My joints were tightening up when I didn’t”t exercise. I’m a go getter and don’t let anything hold me back. Thank you, Meredith for all you do and keep making videos!!!
Hi Janet! Thank you so much for the comment! I am so happy you found our channel, and you are enjoying my workouts and instruction. You are a go-getter, and I am so proud of you! Keep moving and doing what you can, listening to your body! Take care and stay well, Meredith
Thank you. 😊
Thank you Anacha!!
great lesson. thank you meredith!
Thank you so much, I am so happy you enjoyed it💖☺️
I absolutely adore your workouts Meredith!! I feel great after this workout!! You are amazing!! 🙂🙌
Thank you so much John! I truly appreciate your support!! Keep working hard!!:)
Appreciate your showing us the correct way to workout. I am a senior and like working with dumbbells ( water bottles in lieu). Thank you.
I appreciate your comment, and I am so very happy you are enjoying the workouts:) Keep up the great work! Take care & stay healthy, Meredith
Hmmm. I feel I've been overlooking this one! It was really nice - a good way to warm up the whole body and start the day refreshed. Thanks!
Perfect start to the day!!:)
Hi Meredith, I’m really enjoying your channel. I’m 62 with knee issues and currently quarantined in a hotel in Brisbane Australia after flying back from the states. So I’m not able to leave the room for a few more days. Your workouts are perfect to keep me moving and I will definitely be continuing when I can finally go home.
Hi Janette! Thank you so much for the comment! I am sorry you are quarantined in a hotel. That must not be fun, but I am so happy you found the workouts:) I am so proud of you to continue to move, and want to keep it up with me and my workouts after you get home soon! Keep up the great work! Take care and stay healthy! Keep in touch! Meredith
I like this one Meredith. Day 2 of getting my weight down, and starting my routine again. Thank you for being such an awesome coach!
I love your marching in place workouts. With the added strength training makes it even better! I'm resting today, but I will complete in the morning. Thank you Meredith!
Thank you Alisha! Have a great rest day:)
Alisha Alisha I think I will try this tomorrow too. I love these workouts too.
Love it so much, I am doing it again later this afternoon.
Thank you Lynne!
Thank you Meredith its fun and i enjoy following steps of exercises.
👍😊
Thank you Zenaida for the support! I am happy you enjoy the workouts!! Take care!
I like it. Thank you very much.
Thank you Lucius!!
Excellent workout! Thank you so much 💗
Thank you Bhanu!
All these moves feel comfy, yet challenging for my (hopeful) return to fitness. Your style and movements are exactly what I want. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for the comment and support! I am so happy you found the channel and the workout is a fit for you. Keep up the great work!
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Good workout Team Meredith! I started out with the dumbbells but had to set them down midway. I look forward to your new posting each week. Thank you so much for all the work that you do!!
Thank you for tuning in each week Muriel! So glad you are enjoying these workouts:) take care and thank you for your feedback!
I also skipped the dumbbells for the second half, feeling that the first half (WITH the dumbbells) was giving me weight training and the second half, without the added weights, gave me more range-of-motion, both of which I need.
Perfect! I was looking for a video to fit in @ a 20 minute time slot. I spotted this and decided to give it a try. I love that it uses weights along with cardio, and I love the length. I’m soon to be 75 and am finding that long exercise sessions are too much for me. I much prefer to do two or three that are less than 30 minutes. I got away from exercise for a while so I’m trying to work my way back to an hour a day.
Way to go!! You can do it, over time! I am proud of you!!
I just did this and got a good sweat going, thank you :). I'm not your intended audience as I'm only 27 but I suffer from chronic pain and am very overweight so low impact is perfect for me.
Hi Sarah! Thank you for the comment! I am so happy you found the workouts, because they will be a great fit and benefit to you...low impact but all level! I am proud of you! Keep me updated on your progress!
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith Thank you so much! :)
Just love your workouts. thank you for all you do. Just want to tell you about when I did my cardio rehab workouts after bypass surgery. Instead of "inhale" and "exhale" they always said "smell the roses", then "blow out the candles" Comes back to me each time you say inhale and exhale. Anyway, thanks again - see you tomorrow.
Hi Lana! Thank you so much for the comment!! I am so happy you found the channel. And great job with getting back to work after bypass surgery. Not an easy task, quite commendable. I am proud! I like your inhale and exhale analogy from rehab verbiage. Great way to state it:)
Keep it up, and keep me posted on your progress through rehab and beyond!
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
The "roses" and the "candles"....I like that! Good way to encourage people to breath properly. 😀
That was a good quick workout on a busy day. 🇨🇦😍
Thank you Helen! I am so happy you enjoyed it, and the length is perfect on a busy day:)
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Great workout closer to workout I do at seniors fitness centre when allowed out. Love all of your classes!
Hi Lorraine! I am so happy you enjoyed the workout, and it is similar to a class you do at your fitness center. Hope you continue to try my workouts, and you enjoy them! Thank you for the wonderful comment!:)
Take care and stay healthy!
Meredith
Ur videos are perfect! Please keep them coming!
Thank you so much! I will keep them coming, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon:) Take care and stay well, Meredith
Good workout!!
Thank you so much Marjorie!!
Thank you for these workouts! Love them
Hi Terri! I am so very happy you found the workouts, and you are enjoying them!! Keep up the great work!
Take care and stay healthy!
Meredith
This workout was so good. The low impact routine with the 4 pound weights I used was just right. This is my new go-to place for my primary workouts. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much Ruth!! I am so happy you enjoyed the workout, and all the workouts:) I appreciate you and your support! Keep up the great work!
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
P.S. You are so pretty, kind, creative, and easy on our joints, and minds to be able to follow, yet these are still actually very very good workout, I cannot tell you how grateful I am!! Finding you late night/very early morning has made my day, so now I can STILL keep moving, still in severe pain, BUT your amazing workouts won't make me hurt even more, and they are just as good as the ones that go too fast, etc., and our too hard on my constantly hurting joints! T.Y. mam! :)
Thanks,
Meredith Enjoyed the workout.
Thank you Christine! Stay safe and take care!
Thanks for sharing, that was Awwsome😥👍
Completed😊
Great job Julie!! I am so proud of you! Keep up the great work!
Take care, Meredith
I love this one. I am hoping you can do more like this.. Going at this pace, and the time, would this be over a mile? close to 2? Love, Love, Love,
Hi Lynne! Yes I will do more like this, cardio with dumbbells:) And yes, it is probably 1.5-2miles depending on speed. Take care, Meredith
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Thank you Deborah!! I appreciate you and your support!!
Great workout! Thanks SF
Thank you Claudia! Take care!
As always, I loved this standing cardio workout. I used a 3# weights and it was still a great workout. Do you have a kettlebell work out you could demonstrate?
Hi Linda!
Thank you so much for enjoying the standing cardio workout! It is a challenging, and fun one:) As far as a kettlebell workout, I do not have one out yet but it is in the works. Hoping to get a kettlebell workout out for next month, so stay tuned! Thank you again for watching, and enjoying! Take care! - Meredith
Love theeeseeeee!!!!
Thank you!
awesome video
O I like this one as well, lovely Meredith! I use only one pd, but i have extreme pain in every joint now. :( Even so, I will do this when i awake, and right after coffee, yaaay, and I will use my super lite weights, but still, I WILL be moving and doing this, t.y. so much, and have a great day!!
Nothing comes before coffee for me either👍🏾!
I’m so doing this today the weather in Houston this morning is 🌥🌦
Perfect to do on a cloudy and rainy day outside!! Enjoy!
Meredith, after 6 weeks doing a daily workout with your Low Impact Cardio, I have promoted myself to this one. It feels like a suitable next step and I am finding it beneficial to work with weights. Love your easy, positive style. I’ll be sticking with this one for a few weeks, but where do you suggest I go from here? Thanks so much!
Hi Sandy! Thank you for the comment! I am so very happy you found the channel and the workouts are a fit for you! After this workout trying a seated or low-impact standing HIIT can be a good step: www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/beginner-hiit-workout-for-seniors/
Hope this helps!
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
I am new to your workouts although I am a relatively experienced senior. Can you please add a small portion of balance work into your routines - any or all of them. Thank you.
Hi Shobana! I do have many balance work segments in many of my workouts. I hope you can enjoy those as well:) Look forward to hearing from you!
Take care, Meredith
Really doable exercises for me a 75 yr old
Hi Laura!! Love that you are able to do the workouts, and enjoy them!
Keep up your great work! Thank you!
Take care,
Meredith
Good workout! Any idea of the number of steps?
Hi Marianne! Thank you for the comment! In this workout, I would say you would do approximately 2,000-2,500 steps at the rate per minute we go.
I hope this helps! Keep up the great work and I appreciate your support! Take care, Meredith
I am 55 years lady .. I regularly do walking work out at home...I have frozen shoulder problem... should I do this dumbbell workout? How many days in a week should I do this beautiful workout? Please reply.
Hi Manasi! Thank you for the comment. If frozen shoulder, I would do this workout without weights. And an every other day format is best. So work on range of motion especially for the shoulder during your cardio workouts, and then strengthen that area with light weights on the other days.
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith thanks a lot.
This has been very good for the arthritis in my right shoulder. Loosened it right up!
🎉 Thank You!
Good exercises, but wish the music was a little more audible.
Hi Ginia! Thank you for the comment...and yes, the music is much more audible as of late. We worked on it, so it is agreed. I do thank you for the suggestion:) And so happy you enjoyed the workout!
Take care, Meredith
Can this routine with weights be done every day?
Hi Jan! Thank you for the question. As for the cardio workout with weights, it can be done daily but with very light weights or do one day with weights and one day without.
Again, thank you for the question and support of the channel.
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith Would 3 pound weights be considered light weight and usable daily?
🏋🏽♀️🔥
I am 72 years old and i have siatica mild back pain can i do this exercise madam please tell me .
Yes, you can! Also stretch, that will help: www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/seated-sciatica-stretching-workout-for-seniors-beginner-level-12min/
I hope this helps!
Happy New Year
It's good to be back 🏋️
Happy New Year Elizabeth, I’m so proud of you!!
