Losing weight in your 60’s and 70’s can feel harder than it was in your 30’s and 40’s. That’s because it is harder!
As we age, our metabolism slows down, meaning we burn fewer calories throughout the day.
We also tend to lose muscle mass with age.
You’ve probably heard the adage that muscle burns more calories than fat. As we lose that muscle, we also lose the calorie-burning power that comes with it.
So, in addition to healthy eating, senior weight loss requires us to do two things: burn calories and maintain muscle.
These workouts will help you achieve it.
1. 25 Minute At-Home Cardio Workout
This convenient full-body cardio session is easy to do at home, and at under 30 minutes it’s practical to fit in even on a busy day.
2. Higher Intensity Cardio Workout
This vigorous senior cardio takes it up a notch to get you sweating and kick your metabolism into gear.
Great for boosting calorie burn!
3. Slow Release Weight Lifting For Seniors
Eccentric strength training, which is weight lifting done at an intentionally slow pace, that burns calories while enhancing muscle tone and control.
4. Cardio and Resistance Workout
I love a workout that does double duty!
This one combines aerobic moves with some light weight training to hit every major muscle group.
5. Muffin Top Workout
Target those tricky love handles!
When you combine these exercises with healthy food choices, you’ll start to see your pants fit looser.
6. Dance It Out And Work It Out
Dance is such a great form of cardio exercise and it can make your work out so much more fun!
7. Cardio, Core, Ball and More
A great aerobic workout that incorporates some core moves and a little coordination practice, too.
8. Full Body Strength Workout
This is one of my earliest workout videos and it continues to be one of our most popular because it’s so simple yet effective: low impact strength training for the whole body.
9. 45 Minute Zumba Workout
When you’re up for a longer workout, this fun senior Zumba routine is a great option that will get you sweating and smiling.
10. Senior Strength Workout on the Floor
Many folks in our age group lack confidence about getting down on the floor…which is why it’s so important to practice!
This routine targets your arms, back, core, and glutes while giving you some much needed practice getting up and down from the mat.
11. Firming Ab Workout
Target your core to flatten your stomach, improve stability, and up your resting calorie burn.
