In this exercise video Meredith is guiding you through a great beginner level, seated, upper body workout using wrist weights for resistance.
Using light weights as resistance on your wrists is a great way to help build strength in all areas of you upper body. Luckily you don’t have to use wrist weights for this work as well! You can get just as good of a workout using light weight dumbbells or even a playground ball as Meredith discusses in the intro section to this video.
This is a full seated workout so there will be no pressure on your legs, knees, hips or thighs. This is also categorized as a “beginner” level routine but can easily be modified to intermediate or even advanced with heavier weights and or standing. We also encourage you to go through this routine twice if you are up for the extra challenge!
Building strength in your upper body including shoulders, chest, arms and upper back is a great way to build stability when it comes to everyday tasks. Having this extra strength helps us with carrying heavier items, holding on to handrails, balancing, getting in and out of a seated position and so much more.
Remember to keep your water close by and take breaks if you need to and never do any movements that cause you any pain or discomfort. Modify this workout to your range of motion always.
Have a great workout!
I love this workout Meredith! I call it my airplane overhead bin workout. I recently had trouble lifting my carryon bag up to the bin. I’m hoping this workout will strengthen those muscles before my next flight in a few months. Thanks so much!
Oh, yes, this workout will help with that...what a great pseudo-name :)
Keep up the great work!
Excellent workout for me!
Thank you!!
Thanks for this excellent workout Meredith; I so enjoyed using the wrist weights and it was very challenging too!
It is a good one, and very challenging...another deceiving one:) Thank you for trying it and enjoying it!! Always a wonderful support for me, I thank you! Take care, Meredith
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith You are very welcome as always!
Grateful for this one! Wasn't sure I'd be able to squeeze a little exercise in before the events of my day took off. But this one fit the bill perfectly! (You know how I love your pacing. I'm noticing, with pleasure, your background music more, too.)
Great job fitting in the workout before a busy day...isn’t always easy to do. And I’m happy you are enjoying the music we have too! Thank you as always for your kind words! Take care, Meredith
This is great! I've added it to the strength days on my plan 😊
Wonderful Fiona!
How much should wrist weights be? I started mid January doing your videos have gained so much balance and strength. Thank you for your energetic supportive videos
Thank you! The wrist weights I use are 2lbs each. I say 1-2lbs is good for wrist weights. Here is a link to the ones I use and like:

Thanks for another great workout! I don’t have wrist weights so I improvised with water bottles. ❤️
Great job improvising and using water bottles Bathshua! I am so proud of you!!
Great workout!
Thank you!
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith THANK YOU! 🥰🥰
Is this an everyday workout? Just starting.
Without the weight, this can be done daily; but with the light wrist weights I would do every other day.
Hi, the ball must have at least have some weights,right? Or else it cannot be considered as strength exercises?
Hi! The resistance that is created on the air ball causes the muscles to contract and becomes a strength training exercise. I hope that helps!
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith hi, when u mentioned air ball, is it also the same as medicine ball?
Air ball does not have weight to it, just a little give to add pressure. A light medicine ball can be used in place, just be aware of range of motion if weight is added.
