Chest and Back strength building workout for seniors and beginners. 20 minutes

The focus of these exercises are all for the upper body. Women especially tend to neglect the focused area of the chest and back. Don’t worry, this workout will not make you look bulky. For reference I’m using 8 pound dumbbells. Please make sure you start with light weights and work your way up as you gain strength and become familiar with the exercises.

This workout will be performed entirely on the floor/mat. After a few warmup stretches we will lay on our backs working the chest, shoulders, triceps and biceps. Then, we move to our hands and knees for a little more back and tricep. Finally, we flip to our front of the body working on toning the back of our arms and more back. We finish in a seated position with some stretching.

If you are not comfortable on your hands and knees, that section can all be done seated in a chair. Simply engage your core and hinge forward at your waist. Support your torso by placing your forearm (that’s not holding the weight) on your thigh.

This workout is great for improving posture and standing taller! Let me know how you liked it in the comments.

Thanks for working out with me!
