This 10-minute indoor walking workout will help improve your cardiovascular health by getting your heart rate up and increasing strength with exercises that work your legs, glutes, core and upper body. Perfect for seniors and beginner exercisers. This workout is about 1200 steps, more or less depending on your pace.
Join my 81-year-old mom and me as we walk and say yes to next steps to good health. Take her advice: "Don't sit around. Get up and walk!"
Marching or walking in place is the foundation for the workout. The 30-second rounds will also work on your balance and coordination, which is important to prevent falls, the leading cause of non-fatal and fatal injuries among seniors.
Be sure to warm up before doing this workout. Do one of our warm up videos:
✳️ 7-minute Warm Up:
✳️ 8-minute Warm Up:
✳️ 10-minute Warm Up:
After the workout, do our additional cooldown session to get your heart rate back to normal and stretch out your muscles:

My daughter and I did this together yesterday. Thank you for the workout.
We are so happy to hear it, Patricia. Thank you for working out with us! 🙂
Great work out. I have some difficulty walking, need to strengthen. Seeing your mother doing these exercises right along with you greatly encourages. Thank you both.
@yes2next I am an 80yr old male suffering with COPD and Emphysema, managed to complete your exercise programme, still not confident to venture outdoors but your dear mother has given me so much inspiration, if she can do it, so can I, thank you so much. xx

Great exercise for strength and balance for older (83) adults. Thank you
I love walking and walk for miles every day , but I’m getting more nervous in winter months on the ice , this is a great indoor walk , thank you 🇨🇦
Great! So happy you enjoy the video. Walking outside in the Winter is dicey so stay inside and keep walking with us! See you soon!
Just wondering how old you are. I’m 77 and am enjoying this web site.
JUST what I needed to reset my brain and change the bad habits I’ve gotten way too comfy with! Can’t think of any reason NOT to do this everyday..more than once!
Your mom is amazing..Thanks!!👍🏼
Wonderful, Diane! So happy we can help you get into the exercise groove! My mom says hi! 🙂
love this video….was looking for something simple yet invigorating….will do this daily….(promise)
This is a key to Good health and long life
As a retired registered nurse and licensed massage therapist I love that April educates by not only showing but telling why the different moves are important. Thank you!
I so appreciate your expertise and kind words. Thank you!
Thank you for helping me get back into fitness. I’m a senior and I love the pace and encouragement you provide.
It brings us joy to help you get stronger. Keep moving and thank you!!
I started working out with you and your mom a month ago. I had open heart surgery last november and was told to do cardio rehab I am 70 years old. I told myself to save the money. I found you on utube. I have done a 20 min workout once a day sometimes not often maybe twice. I don’t seem to be loosing weight. I eat basically salads with chicken and other sorts of meat. Do you have any suggestions for me? Am I doing something wrong? I really get a good workout with you.I work my heart up pretty good.
I just love your work outs. I find I smile all the way through even though finding it tough at times ( I am 72) but your gentle incouragement and your inspirational mum keep me trying. Feels good to reach across the world from my home in a small village in England. Thank you for making me fitter and smile!!
Wonderful! You are 72-years-young! We are so happy to help you stay active and brighten your day. It warms our hearts that we can exercise together across the miles. Keep warm and keep moving! You will get stronger and your endurance will improve by staying with it. Thank you so much and see you soon!
I took my down syndrom bro out of his group home last year to protect him from covid. He has poor balance and we have been doing this for a week now. He is doing very well. He also thinks you are pretty and blows kisses while he is walking. Next week we will tackle another one of your videos to challenge him. Thank you so much for making videos for the forgotten population.
@TindraBeam It sure has been good for him. He is not graceful but it gets him some exercise that he can keep up with.
@yes2next ok
Love to you and your brother ❤
@yes2next
I have been exercising with your workout and it find it more enjoyable than anything else I have done. It is comforting to see you work with your lovely Mom who allows those of us up in years not to be intimidated by young, strong trainers. No matter what age, it is great to be able to move even if it is a little less strenuous and slower than most people. I thank you for creating a gem for all of us seniors. Thanks for your lovely Mom giving the rest of us hope.
Thank you! So happy that you have joined us! Mom and I just want to provide a different way to approach exercising that is less intimidating but still beneficial overall. Keep moving with us!
Finally an exercise I enjoy. Love the interaction between Mom and daughter. Wonderful, all of it. Thank you!
You make us smile. We’re so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much!
Love doing these with you and your mom!! This pandemic season has caused me to slow down in more ways than I like, these various videos are all great at getting me going again. Thank you!! Now going to share with my 80 year old mom 🙂
Congrats on getting moving! We’re so happy we can help you stay active. My 80-year-old mom says hi to your 80-year-old mom! Thank you both!
I am rehabbing and my doctor told me to get a little bit of exercise every day. This is exactly what I can do and I’m so grateful for the gentleness. The two of you are also adorable! I will be back while I rehab
Thank you! Happy to have you working out with us! Going at a gentler pace is a good way to get back to a stronger you! 👏Slow is good just ask the tortoise! 😄 Mom and Mochi say Hi and look forward to seeing you soon! Keep it going and keep moving with us! ❤️
Thank you … im a 66 year old guy … just getting back into things and need to get some cardio like this into my schedule … i’ll be a regular going forward … i’m also doing NOOM to lose the excess weight i have gained thru the years … i need to do this thank you ….
Thank you for joining us! As a young 66 it’s good that you are focusing on your health now! It’s never too late to do so and it’s the best thing you can do to be healthy and fit in the years ahead! We know you can do it! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I so enjoy my stretching and workouts with you…. I am 85 and they are a perfect way for me to keep moving. Thank you!
Thank you! It’s terrific that as a young 85 you are exercising! You are keeping your heart and muscles strong by working out! Love ❤️ having your company! Keep it going and keep moving with us. See you soon! ❤️
I love how you are pacing it to your mum’s comfort zone 😘
Thank you! Mom works out only if she can go at her “mom’s” pace! Any increase in intensity is not going to work! Have to keep mom happy! Ha! See you soon! ❤️
My mother and I came across this video today. We loved it. She’s almost 60 and has many Chronic aches and pains. Thank you for this
Thank you! Happy you found us too and glad your mom is working out with us! (Hi, Mom!) As a young 60yo exercising will help her body to become stronger and possibly ease some of her discomforts! Moms make great workout buds! (I should know!) Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Love the work!! Was worried about mom being so close to table, thanks I’m a senior with injuries been looking for something that caters to me 😊
Thank you! Happy you liked it! Thanks for your concern about the table! It has been moved in our later videos. Hope our workout can help you to feel better! Start at a comfortable pace! It’s good you are exercising. It’s important to keep your heart and muscles working even at a slower pace! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Count me among those who are grateful that you have made this video. Having your Mom next to you gave me the incentive I needed. I really needed this since all I did during Covid was sit. Blessings to you and your Mom. 💚💚
