    In this workout, we are going through a great full body HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workout.
    HIIT training has gained popularity recently due to its effectiveness in raising your heart rate in intervals and providing maximum health benefits to not only your heart but overall health.
    HIIT training also helps with overall cardio health and can include resistance for excellent strength building as well.
    For our workout, we are hitting all areas of the body and are including some weights. However, you don’t have to use weights. This workout can be just as effective if you feel more comfortable with just the movements without weights.
    Also, we are using a chair during some of the movements which you can substitute by using the nearest wall or any other sturdy item that you have around the house. Just make sure it is sturdy and strong to handle your weight on it.
    As always remember to drink lots of water and only do movements that you feel comfortable with. If you aren’t sure if you can do this workout yet, feel free to watch it first before starting.
    Have a great workout!
    Team Meredith

      For lower back pain (I saw you have some), though the walking routines (low impact cardio) will help me give a soft start to break my very sedentary condition. In fact, I used to di this kind of routines many years ago with a fitness instructor (here in Uruguay). Unfortunately, I had to stop too long a while, now having found you is really wonderful!! Thk you so much!!

    I am 73 years young. I needed to do a HIIT workout and I found your videos and have been doing this one for 3 weeks and I have noticed a remarkable difference the way my body feels doing the day. I do this one every day and The Best! Posture Balance & Stretch Workout/ Beginner Level/ 41 min every other day (3X's week) and my hips are so much better for it. As I improve, I intend to move on to your more intermediate exercises to challenge my body. I am so glad that I found you. You are awesome!!!

    Thank you! I wish I found this sooner but better late than never. After 30 days in a coma with multiple organ failure I miraculously survived but my body has never been the same. Physical therapy has done more to harm to me than do good. But this is perfect. I don't feel pressures to do one more if I'm not feeling it. I go at my own pace as slow as I need. You are very encouraging with helping me not o feel guilty about not being able to do today what I could last time. Why physical therapist don't follow this pattern i don't know. But I'm improving finally after 6 years thanks to your video. Slow and steady with lots of set backs but still forward. Thank you again.

Im in the UK, (i wrote before as we have an enthusiastic group of seniors in London) We started off with seated workouts but I’ve been trying out your more advanced, standing HIIT workouts. Although I thought they were far beyond me, I now can do a few of them! It’s hard work but definitely doable! I really appreciate the way you do the workouts with the breathing and the explanations.
    Thanks again,

    I like this woman. Professional yet has an easy going positive way about her. She also is dressed sensibly, not in a half top and shorts so short you can see butt cheeks, so unprofessional.I already do Yoga by Adrienne and will start my classes here too. I am 70 and know the importance of strength training. I take care of my older sister who does nothing but sit and watch TV. She is frail, can barely walk and falls often. I am not going to allow myself to get that way.Thank you, enjoyed the workout!

    My first workout with Meredith as part of new 7 day Program. Did it 2X through. Really like the reminders to breath and to hold in core. Really enjoy the background music and that there is no timer counting down to the end of the workout which allows one to focus on the task at hand. Followed workout with some lower body stretches for knees which helps with knees issues that I am having.

    Hi Meredith I love this workout! I have SI joint and back problems. So getting on the floor is impossible. What other workouts do you suggest?

    • @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith
      @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith  4 года назад

      Hi Jessica! Thank you for the comment and support! I am happy you enjoy this workout. Most of my workouts do not require getting on the floor because I know the difficulties that go along with that. The more "advanced" workouts might have a portion on the floor or as I suggest, a raised surface if available. But I have many Livestreams that are HIIT workouts and others that are longer. Also, more of the recorded cardio and seated workouts would be a great benefit for you!!
      Let me know which others you try and enjoy:)

      Hi Angie! I am very happy you have found the workouts and are enjoying them! Thank you for the comment/question! That is a good suggestion, a standing workout for those with knee issues. I have many seated workouts, perfect for individuals with knee/lower body ailments, building up the quadriceps to help protect the knees.
      Again, thank you for the suggestion...I will add it to the list of workouts/videos to do:)

    Hey Meredith and crew... Been "engaging " in some of your routines for about 3 months. At the young age of 60.😊🌈 As John Mellencamp said:"Hurts so good" I have worked out in the past but haven't in years so I appreciate what you bring to the table. I've been using 5lbs weights since "starting over " and I'm just curious as to what weights you use with what exercise. Can't help but notice you have a few different ones. I feel I could do certain things with one certain lbs and other things with certain lbs. I don't really want to go from 5lbs to say 7 but 5 to 10. I know the importance of listening to my body and "progress not perfection ".I'd appreciate your input and many thanks. 🙏🏼🏋🏽‍♀️

      Hi Luna! Firstly, I am so proud of you getting back into your workouts. And we are so happy we can help with our channel and the workouts we provide:) As for weights, I like to say different body parts can take different weight. Lower body big muscles, upper back...those can take heavier weights. Smaller muscles like shoulders and triceps may need lighter weights. Of course this varies from person to person but is a general rule of thumb.
      Continue listening to your body and working for you long term! Keep up the great work!
      Take care, Meredith

      Hi Catie! Thanks for the question. I do not know an exact number of calories as each person burns calories at a different rate...depending on exertion, size, age, etc etc. I would give an estimate of 250-350 depending on weights held and energy input.

      Hi Pam! Great question! There are many exercises you can do to alleviate your knee pain but still work the quadricep muscles: Knee raises, slow and controlled, either in a seated or standing position is a great one. If seated, putting weight on the thigh to really make the muscles work:) And really focus on NOT lifting from the knee, but the thigh area, again to minimize pain in the knee area.
      I hope this helps! Keep up the great work Pam!

    Glad I found your video, was searching videos for my parents. However, I wish you used easier language in your videos. Quadriceps gluteals - didn’t have a clue what you were on about 🤭. Even saying something like ‘keep your stomach tight’ instead of ‘engage your core’ would be easier for us beginners to understand. Simpler language for us non gym bunnies 👌🏽

    • @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith
      @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith  4 года назад +2

      Hi Elle! I am happy you found my videos for your parents. Aside from the terminology I use, I hope they are enjoying them.
      I appreciate your comment, and understand it completely. I continue to use the words I do because I have found that, if the terms are not know in the beginning, they are quickly learned. And appreciated later, when they are heard from a doctor or physical therapist. I do point to the area that is being used each time. And I know not all will know the word. Most seniors I work with don’t in the beginning but learn quickly and have thanked me for not “dumbing down” things...they are a smart bunch these generations before us!
      Again, thank you for your comment! I hope you and your parents continue to enjoy the workouts.
      Take care and stay healthy, you and entire family!

      Hi Meredith, I understand your point. Not at all insinuating they are a bunch of dumb folk, they raised us in life after all! I myself had trouble understanding the terminology as mentioned. However, maybe describing the area and then using a technical term could be easier for all to understand (eg. Bottom = glutes). I know whilst doing the video yesterday I prompted my father to keep his stomach tight when you mentioned core engagement, as he is someone who is new to the whole process and would ignore that if he were doing it alone.
      Nevertheless, I am glad we have found your videos and enjoyed the one we tried yesterday. I saw something we struggled with and so suggested an improvement, but this is your channel, feel free to completely ignore it.
