A 35-minute standing dumbbell workout for muscle strength, balance and bone density, with a chair for support and all levels welcome.
This all-standing functional training session builds muscle strength, balance and bone density, and you can tailor it to your level through the weight you choose and how much you lean on the chair. It is osteoporosis friendly, with no twisting or rounding of the spine, and a modification box shows how to avoid twisting if you have been advised to. The video runs about 35 minutes.
