In this workout we will be doing a great standing cardio routine that will get your heart rate up and get your body moving and feeling great!
The moves and exercises in this video are designed for you to do easily in your own home and doesn't require any equipment, only you! This is a full body cardiovascular workout incorporating the entire body, from the lower to the upper body and core.
All of these elements together will help strengthen your entire body and help with your balance which is so important during your ADL's (activities of daily living).
Weekly cardio routines are great for heart health and help keep your body flexible and nimble. Having great cardiovascular health is essential to living an active lifestyle no matter your age.
Always remember to drink lots of water and only do movements that you feel comfortable with. Never force anything that does not feel right for you, listen to your body.
Have a great workout!

Love your workouts, Meredith. So many senior workouts are too slow-paced for me. This is perfect and I even get a little sweat starting! Thank you.

This is excellent coaching Meredith. I think I found my routine. I have chronic arthritis and I know I have to keep moving safely. I am able to do your videos everyday without hurting myself. The videos aren't too long so it's a perfect pace for me. Keep the core tight and breathing steady are such good reminders throughout the session. Thank you

I really enjoyed this! I appreciate the reminders to breathe and reminders of needing to listen to our bodies and do what is right for us. After injuries over the years, I have finally learned this. I could maybe push myself harder, but I would rather do a little less so that I may keep going. Injury recovery takes way too long. Looking forward to more videos!!
