Guys, I LOVE how this workout turned out! I put careful thought into choosing exercises that coordinate nicely with each other so you’d most effectively hit all your major muscle groups. Plus it’s all exercises that I actually enjoy doing, and I hope you will, too:
So, this is the 6th and final workout video I’ll be doing in this particular series. Each of the workouts in this series has been geared for beginners or active seniors, though more advanced exercisers can always benefit too… like in this workout, as an example, you’d just choose a heavier handweight. Hopefully you’ll continue to use all 6 workouts, as they each target something different. But I don’t just mean I hope you’ll do the workouts every so often. I created this series to encourage you to set a goal for yourself:
Do all 6 workouts each week for the next two months. THIS is my challenge to you.
After 8 weeks of that, you’re going to find yourself feeling (and likely even looking) differently: more strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, energy, and even better posture. When you’re interested in getting back into fitness, it can be overwhelming knowing where to start… well, I’ve made that easy for you. This is really all you need to get going.

EXERCISE.
I love y’all enough to keep nagging, even now. Be well all; we WILL get through this together. ❤️🙏

Rooting For You,

I love the resistance bands workout, but decided to switch it up … the single-weight (8-lb) workout is awesome. Thank you, Stef, for providing such great workouts.
I’m glad you’re switching it up! It’s good to keep your body guessing, so doing a variety of workouts is ideal. Keep doing the work! You’re so worth it. ❤️
I am an 88yo man, normally fit and healthy, but now recovering from pneumonia and these exercises look very good to me. I work out three times a week with your exercises. Thanks a lot
I’m so glad to hear my workouts have been useful for you, Howard! Glad to hear you’re on the mend, hope you’ll be good as new in no time. Be well and keep working out! xo
Thanks for such a great workout. I found it easy to follow and enjoyable!
Enjoyed your workout this morning. I was thinking that you may want to include a short warmup. Thanks.
No worries, the warmup is built right in! Warmups are to help us raise our core temp and loosen up our joints, so in all my workouts I put warm-up friendly (or easier) tasks up front. I’m so glad you enjoyed the workout! Stay strong, and keep exercising, Marilyn! xo
Day 1 of week 1 for me.
Thanks for the motivation and clear instruction.
I will let you know in mid-February how I made out.
Cheers
Anne
Fantastic!!! Great job, Anne, for committing to it. Stay strong, and keep me posted and I’ll be cheering you on, sister! xo
Hi Stef. Just viewed your 1 dumbbell 33 minute.workout. I’m 88 + 6 months & lean but softer than I wish. Medical history 1) Have benign hypertension under control by lisinopril & 2) Stage 1 prostate cancer (family curse) deleted 6 years ago and under control by eligard injection. In Jan 3 1986, I started a full cycle Nautilis weight machine program and within 2 years was truly buff!! Good thing because on 1/4/1988, a 36 ton concrete mixer landed on our car & beat the crap out of me! My facebook site has pictures of the accident if you wish. Believe you can help if you approve me for starting, OK? Warm regards from FL.
Thank you, Love your workouts!
I love your workouts!! You are very calm and encouraging and easy to follow!! Thank you for taking the time to provide us with these helpful workouts! I hope you will continue to do so.
Awww, thanks Sheila! I’m so glad they’re useful and you’re enjoying them. And thanks for the encouragement to make more, it’s been off my radar lately! I’ll get it back on there.Be well and keep exercising!!! xo
Thank you. I am new to workout routines and these are great.
Glad you’re liking them! xo
Another EXCELLENT workout! Thank you for your generosity, Stefany. I had problems with my legs and the doctor nor the physiotherapist could figure it out. Friends said “try stretching” but it was all making it worst… that is… until I found your workouts for people like me. You are very clear in your explanations.
So glad to hear this one worked for you too and you’re feeling better! Living with pain can be so hard, both mentally and physically… I’m thrilled my workouts have played a role in your healing. I’ll be rooting for you, and stay strong Lyne! xo
Thanks Stephanie! My husband and I have been doing your stretching exercises for Seniors which we like very much. Now we found more of yours and just tried the exercises with one dumbbell. You are an excellent trainer-very calm and encouraging. Thanks so much!!
I’m so glad you tried the dumbbell workout too! How wonderful you and your husband exercise together. It certainly helps stay motivated! Be well, Ruth, and keep exercising!!! xo
Wonderful classes, just what I needed. Thanks
I’m glad to hear it! 🙂
It’s about time I thanked you for your safe, well thought out and fun routines. I’ve taught fitness for many years and have borrowed quite a few of your ideas for my classes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity.
I’m so happy to hear it! Back when I taught regularly, I’d to the same thing… seek out other instructors for ideas and inspiration. It’s challenging to keep it fresh and interesting when you’re teaching every day, I get it! Be well, Sue! xo
