10 Minute Arm & Upper Body Strength Workout for Seniors & Beginners
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Please join me for this quick arm and upper body toning workout! This is a great video to do on its own or as an add-on to another workout. Follow this video with the all standing lower body workout and/or standing abs and balance.
I'm using a pair of 3 pound dumbbells. Always start with lighter weights and increase as you get stronger. There are no breaks in this workout and these light weights will get heavy fast. Take a break and shake it out if you need to.
Thanks for working out with me!

So glad I didn't pick up 5lb. I said to myself if Lauren is using 3 lbs Paula has no business picking up 5 lbs.

10 minutes is just right! Especially when you can do a few 10 minute routines together!

Lauren , just to let you know that I am an avid follower. I quit the gym and am happy with all the variety that you have to offer. I am 77 and have been working out for 45 years continuously. Now that I’m older I needed something a little slower but still challenging. Love your workouts! Thank you!

I've just done this again- 2 weeks into knee arthroscopy recovery - love the concept and quickness of the 10 min series! Just a thought - would you maybe add to your, no doubt, ever expanding list, a 10 min seated series? For those of us recovering from injury and the less mobile? I get so much satisfaction knowing that I can work out, whatever my fitness/ injury level and its good to be able to slot a short workout into a busy day!

Thanks Linda. I have lots of stretch workouts including many 10 minute ones, but you're correct, I don't have one that's just upper body. all of them are whole body, so they do include arm and shoulder stretches. Have you looked at the seated 10 min stretch? I think that one includes more upper body.

Jesus has placed it on my heart to share the Gospel with you. Jesus, God the Son the Son of God, died, and spilled His precious blood, on the cross to pay the price for our sins. He was buried and on the third day rose from the dead just like the scriptures said He would. Salvation is a gift, please accept it now if you haven't already by BELIEVING in what Jesus did for us. The rapture of the Church is imminent, God bless you!
