Leg Endurance Exercises For Seniors

Improve Leg Endurance Exercises (Intermediate Level)

Join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) for a new Strength Saturday Exercise Session (#6). Where we work the endurance of our legs!

Today we are not only going to work our strength, but we are going to focus more so on our muscular endurance!

In case you have forgotten, Muscular strength is the amount of weight you can lift or move.

Muscular endurance is how many times you can move or lift that weight, before you get exhausted.

Muscular endurance is important in your day to day life, to move and to lift things. Think about when you are to walk up a large flight of stairs, or go on a large walk (especially with hills). Your muscular endurance is being tested.

As with any component of fitness, muscular endurance can be trained and improved…. at any age.

Which is what we do today. Today’s exercise video we do higher repetitions and use equipment to work that muscular endurance (and strength).

So let’s get moving!

In this video we cover:

  1. Intro

  2. Exercises Begin - Round 1 (x 25)

  3. Exercises Round 2 (x 18)

  4. Exercises Finished - Outro

Do your best and any questions ask below!

- Mike
