8 Exercises for Improving Heart Health: Reduce Heart Issues for Seniors

Improving heart health is crucial for seniors, and incorporating the right exercises can make a significant difference. In this video, we share 8 exercises that can help reduce cardiac issues and enhance overall heart health. These exercises are specifically designed to be safe and effective for seniors, promoting cardiovascular strength and endurance. By following these exercises regularly, seniors can experience improved heart function, reduced risk of heart disease, and better quality of life. Join us to learn more about these beneficial exercises and take the first step towards a healthier heart today!

Before starting an exercise program, check with your healthcare professionals about what is best for you. Our 20 Minute Heart Healthy HIIT Workout features 25-second rounds of alternating cardio and strength exercises with 20 second rest rounds. You’ll rack up about 1400 steps, more or less depending on your pace.

This workout can be done without any equipment, but feel free to pick up weights if you’re up for a challenge. I use 5-pound weights, while my mom uses 2 and 3-pound weights. If you perform this workout at a high intensity, aim to do it 2-3 times a week with at least a day of rest in between sessions. If you prefer a lower intensity, you can do this workout every day.

Estimated calorie burn for:
🔥 A 120 lb (54.4 kg) person: 38.5 calories
🔥 A 200 lb (90.7 kg) person: 64 calories

Please note that these estimates are rough calculations and don’t take into account individual variations, such as fitness level, walking speed, and other factors that can affect calorie burn. Additionally, these estimates include the calories burned during the exercise itself and do not account for the calories burned at rest or through other activities throughout the day.

  1. I have been working out with you since Covid. I always did the routines standing. I have a meniscus problem and no walking for a month. Walking is my cardio. Then it hit me like a bolt. I can do in the chair. Thank you both I appreciate and recommend you to all my friends. PS. I’m up to 5# each dumbbells and I love it ❤Eileen 74

  7. I injured my metatarsal ligament in the ball.of my food after doing more high intensity workouts. I decided to do this workout seated and was able to do it without any foot pain and to benefit from the cardio workout. I’ll be doing this workout every other day until I can resume normal exercises. Thanks.

  37. I have been doing these workouts with you for almost a month now- I do them sitting down. I noticed today that I can do the knee lifts without holding onto my chair! I was able to do the arm movements and the knee lifts. I love seeing improvements. Thank you both for all you are doing. It sure does matter to all of us.

  42. Liked this very much – thank you April and Aiko 🌟🌟 On a Cinderella note … do you recall the big word? I used to say it to my kids when they’d say but mum you said … I’d tell them I said "if" – it made them listen properly next time lol. Love and good health to you both, and long strokes from his ears to the end of his tail for our handsome Mochi xxx

  50. This has become one of my favourite workout. I just wish it was about 5 minutes longer. So I add other exercises from your videos. I find it’s a good one to end my week of exercise. I do yoga 1x a week, weights 2x and cardio 3-4x. I really enjoy your videos! Thanks so much.
