youtube workout video recs for beginner for 40+ female

[Anonymous]

Hi all. Any recs for a short (maybe up to 10 minutes?) workout video on youtube for me to do everyday?

I don't work out, don't exercise. But I know it's time to make a change.

For some background, I'm 41 and postmenopausal. Always been slender with BMI of around 19, but I never really lost all the baby weight after my last baby a few years ago and my BMI is now at 22. In particular, I now have some extra weight around my belly that I would like to get rid of.

Would appreciate any recommendations on how to get started. Thank you!

That should have been perimenopausal, not postmenopausal. Thanks!

You should join a gym and hire a personal trainer.

I would really really recommend Every Mother. It’s much better than YouTube videos and affordable. Also, it’s manageable for a beginner (workouts range from 15-30 mins).

There are so many good ones!

I really liked this one when I was just starting to do videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNAOIXhNRJs

Body Project has a whole TON of videos meant for people who are just getting into exercise.

I googled a bunch of dance workout videos to do, too, and those are fun - also some good running in place videos. These are my favorite of those:

I like Blogilates a lot. There are a lot of 10-12 minute videos.

Yes! I love Anne Taylor Murdoch(spelling?) she does great arm exercises. Super doable. 10-15 minutes a day. No guilt and you see results

I'll give my usual recommendation for Fitness Blender. They have many beginner friendly workouts and you can select by intensity and workout length to meet your needs.

For the workout length you mentioned, you might want to look at the seven minute workout. You can find various versions online and FB has one also.

Beachbody on Demand for $100/year. You'll get any type of program you're looking for. This variety will help as you progress in your fitness journey.

Nike app. Free workouts and at all levels.

I like this woman on Youtube. Many of the workouts are longer than you are asking for (starting around 20 minutes), but achievable for a beginner because she builds in breaks and shows lots of adaptations.

I know you are focused on the weight around your middle, but at your age you really need to be thinking about whole body strength and flexibility, with some cardio. That will include core work, and once you start to tone up you will likely see the changes you are looking for.

Also, review your diet. If you can cut some sugar and carbs and replace with protein, that will help a lot, too.
