It’s Day 2 of the WALK Off the Weight for Women over 50 weight loss series and we’re walking our way STRONG 💪!
In today’s fast-moving💨 workout, we’re using moderate dumbbells (or water bottles, or a couple of cans of beans – whatever you have available!) and incorporating strength into our routine.
Here are the FAST FACTS: ALL standing, NO jumping | MODERATE dumbbells | MODERATE day | INCLUDES warm up and cool down
Today, we’re doing things in small doses💊 and getting past the notion that we have to do a lot of heavy lifting🏋 to gain strength. It’s simply not true!
This workout is all about MODERATION and the BENEFITS WE GAIN by approaching fitness – especially strength work – this way🌷. The truth is: the harder you work, the harder it is to lose weight!
I’ve included lots of tips📔 so you can make this workout WORK FOR YOU! (In fact, don’t feel pressured to use dumbbells at all if you don’t want to; the routine is perfectly beneficial without them🙂.)
Your brain will get a workout too, as we move along quickly through the list of fun and challenging exercises!
