No matter your age, it’s always important to stay in shape. Still, as much as it can be great do get a DVD and follow its workout, no single video is all you need for year after year. Sure, you can use it, but it’s nice to be able to mix things up. Alternate videos to make sure you’re working different parts of your body and keeping things interesting at the same time.
Still, the last thing you want to do is fill up even more shelves with a bunch of expensive DVDs you may or may not like. A few is fine. A library is something else altogether. This is especially true when YouTube is available to let you with free videos and no storage shelves required.
If you’re getting ready to add to your workout library, here are a few top senior fitness videos from some exceptional channels:
1. Actively Aging Energizing Chair Yoga – At just over a half hour long, this is a great workout without any equipment necessary aside from a stable chair. Its goal is to help you improve balance, flexibility and stretching for your whole body. The instructor, Sherry Zak Morris (E-RYT), provides clear, upbeat instructions to achieve a body that is leaner, stronger and even slimmer.
2. Senior Citizen Forever Young Cardio Aerobics – This workout is only fifteen minutes long which means you could fit it into any day. You don’t need any special equipment for this full body workout. The video is hosted by Victoria Popoff, a senior aerobics instructor. She makes her workouts fun and effective with dances to tracks you know and love.
3. Fit Over 50 – Abdominal Exercises – Seven minutes are all you need to complete this great ab workout. Complete it with 2 hand weights and a mat. If you don’t feel your midsection is getting enough attention from your other workouts, this is a great top-up. It’s also fantastic on its own when you want to focus on your abdominals. It’s important to strengthen your core muscles for strength and balance overall as well as to reduce aches and pains…and who doesn’t want fit, tight abs at any age?
Staying fit is a key component to health at any age. These videos are geared toward your specific needs and goals. Speak with your doctor before starting a new fitness plan to make sure it’s right for you.
