Building Strength with Dumbbells for Seniors & Beginners // 30 min all Standing Workout
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2023
- Let's strength train together and build muscle mass with this 30 minute workout!
All exercises are in a standing position and are set to a timer so you can go at your own pace. We will perform exercises for 60 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds. I'm using a set of two 8lb weights for this full body workout. Please start with lighter weights if it is your first time doing this workout or if you are new to strength training.
I hope you enjoyed this workout! Please let me know what you think in the comments. I love hearing from my viewers!
I love my new hand weights from Alta Fitness. They are so soft on your hands, prevent calluses from forming and are antibacterial! They are by far the nicest and most luxurious weights I have ever used.

Hi, Lauren, I turned 84 last week and I feel fabulous. I’ve been working out with you for a year now and I’ve lost weight, my belly fat is disappearing and I just enjoy the challenge of trying to complete a workout with you. The stability ball has been the toughest one but I’m getting better. Thank you.
Hilary, I am SO impressed! You are my inspiration.
Amazing Hilary! Keep up the great work, I'm so proud of you :)
You are DEFINITELY INSPIRING to us all!
I am so motivated by you! Good for you, keep up the great work on yourself. 🫂
Awesome 🎉well done this was a tough one
This was so good! 42 yrs old and feel great after this workout🎉 I’m trying to tone and lean out a bit and your channel is perfect. I don’t want an aggressive workout but something that pushes me and still be able to do it again the next day. These slower, more concentrated workouts are perfect. Thanks 💕
I'm so happy you are enjoying my workouts Kelli! Your comment is exactly what I was hoping for when I created this channel :)
Me too , if it's too much I will give up because of trying to fit workouts in with kids, work etc there is little time and energy 😅
This is one of my favorite strength workouts. I want others to know that your workouts are truly strength building. After 1.5 years of 2 times/week with your workouts, I can now do things that were too hard for me before. It works. It works because you offer challenging, but doable, workouts. I especially appreciate the frequent small reminders about form - it's easy to forget when you are working hard! Thanks!
Great to hear that you are stronger Beth! You are most welcome and thanks for your kind words :)
Thank you so much Lauren. I am truly loving exercising with you. So happy to have found you.
So nice to hear! I'm happy you found me as well :)
I just finished this for the first time and I am sweating! Haha. I loved it. Doable but a challenge for this 75 year old!
Great job! Glad you love it and got a good workout :)
Although I don't comment as much I am here regularly working out with you Lauren. I love everything about your workouts. The music, your voice, your gentle nature, your challenging routines that somehow you make us do it 'easy'. Thank you!
You're the best! I always appreciate your support and comments Liliana :)
Ditto! :)
Grabbed this workout on my lunch break. We have weights at work. Normally I walk at lunch but there are tornado warnings. Such a great work out. Thanks!
Glad you were able to sneak in this workout !!
Great workout Lauren. I feel really challenged and delighted that I managed all of the moves. I like the way you emphasise what muscles we are working. Thanks. Kathleen
You're so welcome! Glad it's a good workout for you Kathleen :)
Love this added challenge with the heavier weights, Lauren. You are an amazing teacher and so grateful for you.
I appreciate that Barbara! I am grateful for great viewers like you :)
Thanks. Great. I’m 81 years
I have only just "met" you, and I thought this workout was fabulous! I love that you don't spend too long giving instructions. You give just enough. I really enjoyed my first workout with you! I had both hips replaced a couple of years ago, but take care. Thank you! I'm 75...🌻
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video Barbara! I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
As a 75 year old I always neglect strength training, but have it on my list now. This workout was just the ticket! Thank you!
Perfect! Good for you Becky :)
Thanks Lauren. This was great
Glad you enjoyed it!
Okay ... I see an amazing group of followers below and I hope to be joining the team. I enjoyed the serious repetitions of workouts that were not easy but possible. I will see you again this week ... maybe tomorrow!
Wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me 🤩
Love all your total body weight workouts. Thanks for making this more on the challenging side as I am 59 years old and workout often. Please do more strength workouts! Thanks again!
Thanks Shyleen! I'm so glad it's a good workout for you :)
I enjoyed this very much, feeling younger and stronger.
Great! that is wonderful to hear :)
I just turned 59 and recently tore my meniscus, so I’m slightly sidelined by my favorite activities like pickleball. I searched RUclips and found your videos for seniors and thought…oh well! I guess I’m at that stage!!😂 But honestly, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos and find the workouts wonderful! My heart rate is definitely up and I love the strength training. Thank you so much for your help in getting me back to fully healthy! I’ll certainly continue to watch and learn. Keep up the good work!!
Great Marybeth! Thank you for your kind words. I'm thrilled you are enjoying my videos. You keep up the good work as well :)
Oh boy, I’m going to feel this tomorrow. Such a great workout. As always, I enjoy how you incorporate moves that aren’t used as often in conventional workouts. ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it and got a good workout :)
Wow don’t know how you come up with all these different routines! Thank you and used the 8 lbs! All the way! Grateful I didn’t do my walk first! Thank you I really enjoy your routines and the challenges to build strength as I am approaching my 75 th ! 🙏🙏🙏Many blessings Lauren 😊
Wow Margarete! I'm so proud of you :)
I'm in my late 40s and have never done any strength building exercises. I just got 2 kinds of dumbbells ( 5 and 3 lb weight) at Walmart. I am slim, but want to be nicely toned and not flabby as I get older. I followed this workout in this video and absolutely love it.
Great! Those are perfect weights to start with. I'm thrilled you love it :)
I am 73, this was my first time doing this exercise with you so I wasn't very graceful but will keep working with it. I only have 5 pound weights but they felt heavy enough for my first try with this exercise, I am sure I will improve with practice. Thank you for all these good videos.
Wonderful! That sounds like a great start Martha 🤩
I love your workouts! I've been doing them for 2 months consistently. I am not a senior, but I found your channel in search of strength workouts. I started with 5 & 8 lb weights. I am now able to do 15 lb weights with this workout. You're very good at explaining what to do and have proper form. Your workouts are very challenging! Thank you!
My pleasure April! Awesome job with 15lbs, that is amazing!
Loved it! Wasn't too challenging but enough that I could complete it without feeling discouraged. Thank you!!
Great! Happy to hear you love it and got a good workout :)
Good morning, I'm 74 and just found you and am thrilled, you have me such a great workout. I was able to keep up. Thank you dear. See you tomorrow.
You are so welcome! Happy to have you working out with me Jill 🤩
Hey Lauren... loved this heavier weight workout... which includes balancing incorporated❤thank you.. enjoy all your workouts
So glad you love this one too! Thanks Pam :)
Thank you so much!!! This one was such a great balance of familiarity and new challenges. I’m a 50 year old cancer survivor (now cancer free) and your channel was my go-to during recovery from surgery. That was in early 2021 and I’m delighted to say you are still my go-to now. 😊 I initially started with your Pilates and stretching videos but quickly got deeper into the cardio and strength training workouts as well. You are a wonderful instructor and motivator. Thank you for always keeping things fresh and fun! -Rick
Thank you so much for your kind comments Rick! I’m thrilled to hear that you are cancer free and enjoying my videos 🤩
This was so great! I have been using 3 pound weights for my workouts. But today I did this one with 5 pound weights. It was challenging, but I did it! Thanks for creating such great workouts!
@@carolengroff6766 great job 🙌🏻
I can't believe how fast this workout went. It was so amazing. I really worked up a sweat. Love this workout. I have to say, Lauren, your workouts are THE BEST!!! 🎉🎼🌠🌟🌻
I appreciate that so much, and I'm thrilled you love it :) !!!
Definitely one of your harder workouts (and I just used 5 pounds). I find the workouts with weights are better for cardio, too, for me. As a 76-year-old for whom walking (5-7 K a day) had been my only exercise (until a foot injury), I really feel your workouts in my arms and especially shoulders, mostly in a good way. Thanks.
Great! So glad to hear you are getting stronger. Keep up the good work :)
Loved it just turned 70 was challenging but did the whole workout, loved the warm up and streaching.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Nilsa :)
This was a really good workout and I got sweaty…😅. I love full body workouts that incorporate everything! My heart rate hit all the zones too…lol. I used 8 and 10 lb weights…great job with this one!!!
Wow! nice job!!!
Great workout lots of variety and challenges thank you👏
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks Mary 🤩
This workout was wonderful. Thank you for the reminders to keep the abs tucked and back straight, and thank you for your calmness and not over talking. So grateful for your workouts.
Thanks so much Stacy 🤩
Hi 👋
I am neither a senior yet nor a beginner but I needed a gentle strength workout this morning I wasn’t feeling very energetic. I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually a challenging work out. It didn’t deplete me but it got me moving and sweating. Much appreciated. Thank you.
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and got a good workout :)
Loved it! Good challenge. Felt so good afterwards too! Thank you!
So glad! Thank you Leslie 🤩
Looking forward to this workout. I have been following you since heart surgery just over a year ago and have built up enough strength to challenge myself with these! BTW, I have an Apple Watch and often don't know what workout to choose when monitoring my activity with you. Any suggestions? (or maybe you could put in the notes for each workout in future)
Great to hear! I have an apple watch too. Just go by the workout title. So for this workout, you would set it to "traditional strength training". Hope that helps!
This is one of my favorite strength training workouts. It is challenging, but I feel accomplished afterwards. Thank you!
You're so welcome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Loved this workout. I felt it really challenged me and I am very pleased that I managed it. 75 year old with dodgy knees!
Wonderful! Great job Kathleen 🤩
Excellent workout! Challenging but not too difficult.
Keep em coming!
Great Denise, glad to hear it!!!
Thank you so much Lauren. I really enjoy your work outs, it is knee friendly. There are modifications and reminders to breath and core engage .More power to you. Blessings
Glad you like them! Thanks for working out with me Corine ;)
Hi Lauren, I learned yesterday while listening to a health podcast, that seniors should do at least 2 days per week of strength training. I'm 66 and this was a perfect workout. It's challenging but doable.
excellent! Thanks for working out with me Vivian :)
Good workout for anyone trying to get back into shape. 50 in November, tired of being tired. Thus I think the more I work my heart and muscles, not to mention mobility and balance the better off i will be.
Absolutely Emily! You have the perfect mindset :)
Hi Lauren, I recently turned 60 years old and my body is telling me to slow down with fast and furious strength training. I just found your videos and they are amazing for me !! I love your pace, variety and your workouts are still challenging. Thank you
Great Krista! I’m so you found my channel and the workouts are good for you! 🤩
FUN, FUN,FUN...this was a great workout Lauren. Love the playlist with monthly workouts. Thanks to you and Mike for making these easy to follow workouts❤🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
You're so welcome! Glad you had fun too Sharon :)
Hi Lauren. I just started your program after some life changing events that got me away from fitness. I absolutely love your workouts and they are easy to pick up and stay with. I plan on doing these to gain muscle and core strength (and some cardio) back in my life. I will be 70 in August.
Awesome! Thank you Pat. I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
That workout was perfect. Just what I needed today. Thank you for your encouragement and your monthly playlists!
You're so welcome Susan :)
Lauren, I tried this video today. Outstanding! I cannot get enough. I have had two knee replacements, 68 years old. They do my knees good! I know that’s not proper grammar but I just want you to know I am so happy to be able to do your workouts. Thank you so much!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you are able to do my workouts as well Paula :)
This was a great full body workout and exactly what I needed after a few days rest. I’ll be replaying this for sure! Thanks very much.
Great Sandy! Happy to hear it :)
Thanks Lauren, great video. I love your style and manner, great reminders of posture. I’m 72 …getting there. 🌹
Wonderful! Keep up the good work Melanie 🤩
Hi Lauren, I am a 77 year old female and on February 1, 2024 I made a commitment to myself to begin an exercise program. I set my alarm for 5:15 am, take a cup of coffee back to bed, put on my exercise clothes and join you for the exercise workout for the day. I look forward to your exercise videos and see the results of this commitment to get strong. Thank you so much for this wonderful program- no gym membership and I can exercise comfortably in my own home. I enjoyed this workout, although challenging for me with the 8 lb. weights but I stayed with you.
You are an amazing teacher and I am grateful for you.
Wow! Great job! I'm so proud of you and all your new efforts AND the fact that you just started and used 8 pounds! That is amazing. Keep up the awesome work and thank you for your kind words :)
Excellent! This was a wonderful workout and time flew by! Your prompts are great. Thank you! ❤🎉🙏☀️🥳
Yay, thank you! My pleasure Sandra :)
Hi Lauren, This workout was much more challenging using the 8lb weights, but it was a great workout! I love your choreography. It works your body without leaving you stiff the next day! Love your workouts! Thanks so much!
You're so welcome! Nice job with the 8lbs Maggie :)
Thank you so much! I am 59. .. will be 60 very soon .. this was a great pace, well instructed and centered on the exercise not a lot of flash etc. Keeping strength, mobility and balance are my goals. So glad I found your channel. THANK YOU!
Great Chris! I'm so glad you found me too :)
Love standing strength training workouts like this one! A little more challenging would be good.
Great! You can always do a second set and/or increase your weights to make it more challenging 🙌🏻
Hi Lauren
I'm 51 ( not probably classed as a senior 😅) l really enjoy your strength workouts. I particularly enjoyed this one.
I'd definitely benefit from more of these workouts! I find I can push myself. Thank you. ❤
Great Wendy! Only half of my viewers are over 60, so this is a great place for you 🤩
I have recently found your great workout videos and I absolutely love them! I am so glad you don't play loud obnoxious music and you have a soft voice, it makes a world of difference! Just finished this workout with the weights. Very happy I found your site! I'll be back...😊😊
Great Bev! I'm so glad you found me and are enjoying my videos :)
Lauren your workouts are perfect. Your personality makes me so calm while getting a perfect workout❤️ thank you. Keep them coming ❤
Yay! Thank you so much Lorena :)
This is a great, just challenging enough workout! I really love when you use the on-screen timer - it's so helpful!
Happy to hear it Jeanne :)
Great workout, Lauren! Thank you

Really love your workouts. Just the right amount of challenge and easy to follow. Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thank you 🤩
Love, love ,love your workouts! Thank you
Thanks so much Maria, that's nice to hear!!
Whoa. I am humbled. I really had to "do me" and drop to 5 pounds for most of it. I had my quarterly phone check-in with my Accordant Care nurse yesterday who says "Well I know you're so good about exercising, but I always ask, how has your exercise been?" And I'm "uh ... yeah ... what exercise." I've just let things go recently and decided to get back to it yesterday with Pilates and a walk. Today I dialed in for weights and this looked perfect. It is a perfect workout but I'm so deconditioned! A big wakeup call for me. Thank you Lauren. 💙
That's okay Patricia, don't be so hard on yourself! 5 lbs is great. Keep it up :)
Thank you, Lauren. Im 71 and have been doing your workouts for a while, but this is my first comment. Weights have always been a favorite of mine and this one did not disappoint. Nice challenge with the heavier weights,
You're so welcome! I'm glad you like it Phyllis and I appreciate you working out with me :)
I love your workouts! I’m not very flexible so your videos are perfect for me. I feel stronger and feel my balance getting better. Thank you for these videos 💟
You're so welcome Laura! Nice to hear you are getting stronger :)
Love! Nice challenge … love these compound movement w/outs. A lot gets accomplished in a reasonable time. Thank you! 😍
You're so welcome! Glad it’s a good workout for you Lynn 😘
Another great start to the day!🙏
Have a great day Anastasia!
Great exercises for seniors, thank you.
Glad you like them!
One of my favourites, and I don’t comment very often! Thanks
I appreciate that Marilyn :)
I couldn't ask for anyone more to my liking to do workouts with! As a 58 year-old, new to weight-training, and overweight, your workouts are so good. I am feeling well challenged, yet enjoy the pleasant commentary from you, (including the reminders to keep the core engaged, tummy tucked, and knees bent, at appropriate moments!Thank-you for those!) I 've worked out with you 2-3 times per week for the last 6 weeks, and it has given me some new energy, and enthusiasm to do other things. I have only tried 4 differnt ones (focusing on strength training), but have liked them all. Thank-you so much, Lauren.
Wonderful Myrna! Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts! Keep up the great work :)
Hi Lauren! Needed a workout to push myself a bit, and this did it! First time and realized I am ready to go from 5 to 8 pound weights! Thank you
Wonderful! I'm so proud and impressed Cindy!!!
Love all the stretching!
Great Lynn!
I love the calmness of your workouts. Very fun and I really get a great workout. Thank you
Happy to hear it Julie, thank you so much :)
At 69 I am new to this great channel. I have shoulder discomfort so will very carefully work up from 3lbs today to higher weights, body permitting (I'm sweating). Really enjoyed how quietly, gently and positively you gave instructions. Great job. I will do more. I love the stability ball routines and those with weights.
Wonderful! I’m so glad you found my channel 🤩
Thanks for the workout! My favorite workouts combine strength training and cardio, which this one did!
Wonderful! You're welcome Sue :)
Thank you Lauren. Loved it
So glad! Thank you Nalini :)
This new workout just about kicked this 63 year old's arse! Dripped sweat! Another great one Lauren!
So glad you got a good workout Kim!!
Thank YOU dear Lauren, Love your workout series. Blessings from Ecuador
You're so welcome Sara :)
Feeling accomplished. Used 10lb weights throughout. Love the timer as well! 😅😅😅😅😊😊😊
Great Carol! Have a good weekend :)
I love all of your workouts, so glad I found your channel.
Thanks so much Rebecca 🙌🏻
Thankyou Lauren great strength class 👍I can really tell my body is getting stronger 🙋❤️🎄
Yay Julie! That is great to hear :)
Hi, Lauren! I just discovered you on RUclips. I will be 60 this year. I used to be in good shape now not so much so I’m looking for a gentle way to get in better shape. This was a perfect workout. I look forward to doing more of your exercise videos. Thank you so much.
Great Teresa! Happy to have you working out with me :)
❤Ed this video! Your videos are the perfect combination of strength, stretching, balance, and cardio. Love the music choices and your cheerful demeanor. So glad this 60 year old active adult found your site!!
I'm so glad you found me too! Thank you for your kind words :)
Hi, just found your workouts and love them! I will be 75 this year and had stopped exercising but found your workout to be interesting! Love your combo exercises! Certainly does make you feel muscles you didn't know you had! Thank you,
Wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me Millie :)
Thankyou Lauren needed this today after eating to much chocolate yesterday !!! Great class 💐🙋
My pleasure Julie :)
Taking your advice and shifting from the wall and chair Pilates, working on strength training today. Thank you so much for your value and inspiration.
My pleasure 🤩
Good Afternoon. Since today is my day to rest and recover my muscles, I watched this video as I drank some coffee. I fell in love with your format, calmness of presentation, pace, great energy...etc. 🔥💖 You are on tomorrow. Thank you .😊
💜💜💜
Awesome! I'm glad you are looking forward to it.
Thanks for staying in the stretches longer at the end!
You're welcome Stacy :)
Love your videos! So well designed and paced. Thank you!
I appreciate that! Thank you Ann :)
LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED!!
I increased on some moves to 10 lbs
Awesome Janell!!!
I also enjoyed the heavier weights. The difficulty level was perfect.
Glad to hear it! 😍
I love all of your workouts. Thank you so much. I did this one this morning. I'm sharing with my fasting group. Take Care....
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing Elizabeth :)
Love it ❤️. Had been waiting for a more challenging workout. Thanks Lauren!
You're so welcome!
I liked the heavier weights and the harder combo exercises with them. Very nice!
Awesome! Thank you and great job Donna!
Greeting you from Thailand.
I am falling in love with your excercise.
Thank you to make me happy to love working out with you.❤🎉
Wonderful! I'm so glad you love my workouts! Keep up the great work :)
Thanks again Lauren. I think this is my 3 - 4 nights . Loved it
awesome :)
Ive just started working out with you. Im 70 and haven’t worked out for several months. I really like your explaining and encouragement how to do the movements correctly. In the cooling stretching i have a problem with bending my leg back in 45 degree. I can bend to 45 but not further my back of thigh starts to cramp. I hope with more work outs i can do that. Thank you. See you tomorrow.😊
Thanks for working out with me Anne, I appreciate your feedback :)
Challenging (for me) and great workout! I’m 78 and feel like your workouts are extremely helpful for my balance, strength and general well being. Thank you!
Wonderful! So glad you got a good workout Phyllis :)
Love this heavy weigh workout, more please😁
Thanks Peggy! Here is another workout with 1 heavy weight: ruclips.net/video/4bqPCRSXIro/видео.html
Love the variety of moves that you incorporate. My low back and knees are a little sore but I probably need to work on form. Thanks so much
You're so welcome Katie!
