This 30 minute Strength and Walking for Fat Loss includes exercises for seniors that will build muscle, lower blood sugar, burn calories and enable you to get your steps in – more than 1800 steps depending on your pace. These exercises for beginners can be done standing or seated. Mom rocks out in a chair!
This full body workout at home for seniors features two sections: A 15 minute strength training session featuring three sets of 5 exercises, each in 40 second intervals; and a 15 minute walk featuring 4 rounds of 4 exercises in 30 second intervals.
We intentionally structured this workout with strength training first and walking second. Why? According to the American Council on Exercise, this sequence is best for burning fat, losing weight, and building strength. (Doing cardio before weights supports the goal of increasing endurance.)
But if you’re needing just a quick strength or cardio workout – break it up and do one section at a time!

Good morning and THANK YOU. I’ve been exercising with you two and Moki (sp) for almost 2 months. The step app on my phone is ‘excited’ that I’m taking more steps now than last month and even more this year than last year. I feel stronger and more flexible. Your exercises are not difficult but very effective and I can see us being friends in my livingroom for a long time.
I appreciate you both very much. ‘Mom’ is very inspiring, I keep up because she does and it’s paying off very well. Thanks again.
So inspired by your mom!! Im only 70 and hate exercising but she keeps me energized and trying!
❤ I love you two. Thanks
