20 Min GENTLE WALKING WORKOUT for Seniors and True Beginners | Low Impact/No Equipment/No Talking

This is a 20 minute low impact, gentle walking workout designed for true beginners and seniors. Walk at home as you get those steps in for improved health and weight loss. Walk at your own pace and take breaks as needed. You won't need any equipment for this workout. In the video, I'll give a brief intro but once we start working out, there will be no talking...just music.
Please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you!
Wishing you improved health!

    I love that your videos do not have talking in them. I have ADHD as well as learning best visually. I don't need any distractions. There is one thing about the music on this 20 Min Gentle Walking in that it changes in the middle of a set; for me, that distracts. Maybe it is intentional; but, just in case, maybe you could check it out to see if you can sync the routine segments with the music. Thanks for putting these gentle walking 'workouts' out there.

    Hi Bonnie, thanks so much for your feedback. This video is one of my earlier videos and besides learning how to edit and create videos, I've also had to learn how to be a DJ with creating music playlists. It has definitely been a massive learning experience all around. I am constantly learning and trying to make the music flow as best as I can (and like to think I've improved since making this video). I can't change it now that it's uploaded but I do try to make a big effort to make them flow as much as I can.

    I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, Amanda. If you can, try to get in some cardio everyday to help with the depression. I know it can be very difficult to get up and do the exercise but once you get started, it becomes easier. Exercise has so many benefits with helping with depression. Another great activity to do which might help is mindfulness. There is a free app called 'insight timer'. It's worth a try. I hope to see you back again:) Big hugs, Amanda. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel no matter how dark it sometimes appears.

    @@ImprovedHealth thank you for asking! I would love a few strength training videos. Hand weights, standing (or sitting for those who need it). I've only seen 1 from you, where your sweet dad is participating. There may be more and I don't see them. I made a routine for myself, but sometimes need a "push" to do it! 😁 Floors are out for me. So some alternative to sit ups and push ups would be great! Aren't you glad you asked? 😁😁 I realize that this is my wish list and you must think about everyone. So, just please keep this in mind.

I do have a basic strength training workout…if you click on my logo on KZread, then go to ‘videos’, you’ll find it there. I also have a website, www.improvedhealthforseniors.com and all the videos are there, too. Although, I do need to update it with the newest videos. I’ll do that this weekend.

I did take a couple breaks, but thats because I pushed myself a little and followed along to the speed of the music. Which even still wasn't that hard. Loved all of the moves and how it switched out every 30 seconds. I respect that there was no talking, but it did make the transitions to new moves a little awkward at times. Nothing that was too challenging though. I happily subscriber!
