Welcome to our Upper Body Strength Workout for Seniors and Beginners! In this video, we'll guide you through a gentle yet effective routine that focuses on strengthening your upper body. My mom does most of the exercises in a chair for added accessibility, while I demonstrate standing variations and one floor move. This workout is perfect for anyone looking to improve their upper body strength and flexibility, regardless of age or fitness level.

As we age or start our fitness journey, it's crucial to prioritize upper body strength for several reasons. First and foremost, a strong upper body helps with everyday tasks like lifting groceries, reaching for objects on high shelves, and maintaining good posture. It can also reduce the risk of injury and improve overall mobility.

Our routine consists of five simple exercises, repeated three times for a full upper body workout. We'll target the arms, shoulders, chest, and back, helping you build strength gradually and safely. We use dumbbells for 3 of the 5 exercises, but you can use no weights or the weights of your choice. I use 8 and 10 pound weights and mom uses 3 pound weights. Here is a link to a video on how to choose the right weight for given exercise:    • Weight Training for Beginners | Stren...  

✳ Push Ups
✳ Rows
✳ Tricep Extensions
✳ Bicep Curls
✳ Arm Circles

Remember to listen to your body and make modifications as needed. This workout can be done at least twice a week with at least one day of rest between sessions. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any medical concerns or conditions.

So, grab a sturdy chair and let's get started on the path to a stronger upper body. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this video with others who might benefit from this workout. Let's embrace a healthier, stronger you together!
