Best Yoga and Workout Videos for Women Over 60 who Want to Look Hot

Best Yoga and Workout Videos- Rebel Retirement

Do you remember the scene in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes in which Evelyn Couch declares that she cannot even see her own…well, you know?

If you don’t remember or haven’t seen the movie, let me explain. Evelyn’s put on a few pounds. Over time her belly pooch has grown and she now has a muffin top more like a mountaintop. It obscures the view of her…well, you know. It’s a memorable scene that has stuck with me over the years. For the sake of decency, I will not get into the minutiae of my pondering of Evelyn’s plight.

Whether or not you have a tummy roll, or what my mother always called midriff bulge, I don’t think any of us want to find ourselves in Evelyn’s predicament.

This is where yoga and workout videos for women over 60 who want to look hot come in.




Gym Membership not Required

If you have some weight you want to lose, this is where a healthy diet and regular exercise come in. But you don’t need me to tell you that. You already know what you need to do.

However, as a woman over 60 and a rebel retiree, I’d like to encourage you to exercise at a price that will cost you nothing, except the discipline it requires to get it done.

Are you ready to get rid of your costly gym membership and work out in your jammies in the comfort and privacy of your own home? Great!

Below are my six go-to Youtube channels for complete exercise routines at home. Four of them are my preferred yoga instructors and the 5th is my best-loved source for cardio, HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), and strength training. Number six is a wonderful channel for a variety of workouts including low-impact cardio.

4 Favorite Yoga Channels for Women Over 60

No. 1 – Brett Larkin Yoga

Brett Larkin has come a long way since my daughter introduced me to her videos several years ago. No longer the shy and awkward yoga teacher, Brett has grown comfortable in front of the camera and is a polished instructor with a substantial social media following. She is my absolute favorite yoga instructor because of her well-rounded style. Brett explains everything.

There is something for everyone on her channel; from beginner to advanced yogis. You can also listen to her podcasts where she shares personal accounts of her yoga and meditation practices. Getting on the mat with Brett Larkin Yoga always leaves me feeling peaceful, yet energized.

Brett’s own words are copied from her Youtube Channel’s About:

“I teach vinyasa flow yoga & meditation on Youtube with classes appropriate for people who’ve *never done yoga before* to very sweaty, advanced stuff for when you want a true yoga workout out home! My goal is to make this deeply powerful practice accessible, fun, and transformative to everyone. Pick a class and see you on the mat!!! Hang out with me more and get my special yoga for abs class at brettlarkin.com.”

Product Recommendation: Gaiam Yoga Mat

If you’re practicing yoga without a mat, I highly recommend investing in a good non-slip mat. In my experience, it makes a world of difference in terms of safety when holding poses and achieving your desired results. Trust me, you won’t regret it. I practiced yoga for a long time without a mat, but I can assure you that a good non-slip mat makes a world of difference.

No. 2 – Yoga by Candace

Another great instructor is Candace. When I want an easy-going style that delivers a challenge, I go to Yoga by Candace. As you know, balance can become an issue with age, and yoga is immensely helpful with this. Candace’s classes for balance are excellent! Choose from a large selection of videos of various lengths to improve your flexibility and strength. Candace is serious about her work, and if you want to stretch your limits, check out Yoga by Candace.

Here’s what Candace has to say about herself:

“Candace is an international yoga instructor and the writer behind the popular yoga lifestyle blog http://www.yogabycandace.com. These videos range from 15 minutes to 60 minutes, and cover a wide variety of themes. All video content published after June 13, 2014 is available for purchase for those of you who travel often or just want the content on your device when you don’t have internet connection. Purchase at http://yogabycandace.com/online-yoga-classes/ “

Product Recommendation: URBNFit Yoga Blocks with Strap

Of course, you can use what you have around the house such as books, belts, and sashes to help you balance and extend your reach, but yoga blocks and straps are extremely helpful.

No. 3 – Yoga With Adrienne

Yoga With Adrienne is on my list of favorites because of her relaxed and unpretentious style. Getting on the mat with Adrienne is like practicing yoga with a close friend. Adrienne is funny and quirky.  A lighthearted morning practice with her will have you raring to go on with the rest of your day.

Adrienne’s charm resonates in her About statement:

“WELCOME to the YWA channel! Welcome all levels, all bodies, all genders, all souls! Find a practice that suits your mood or start a journey toward healing. Work up a sweat, or calm and relieve a tired mind and body. Create space. Tone and trim. Cultivate self love. Make time for you. Go deeper, have fun. Connect. Fall off the horse and then get back on. Reconnect. Do your best, be authentic and FIND WHAT FEELS GOOD.

I got your back and this community rocks. Jump on in! You don’t even have to leave your house.

Love,
Adriene”

Product Recommendation: Mondetta Yoga Pants, Active Leggings

It’s been mentioned before, but it’s worth repeating – practicing yoga and working out in your pajamas is doable. However, wearing the right workout clothes can make all the difference in getting into the right frame of mind. Take that first step towards a successful workout – buy some yoga pants!

No. 4. – Do Yoga With Me

DoYogaWithMe is one of my favorite Youtube Channel’s for therapeutic yoga. I first discovered their channel when I wanted relief from hamstring and butt discomfort.  David Procyshyn’s,  A Deep Release for the Hips, Hamstrings, and Lower Back left me feeling amazing. I was hooked! His practice helped me release tension while stretching and strengthening my hamstrings. As I dived deeper into the channel I found other excellent yoga instructors.

Do Yoga With Me’s overall approach is one of mindfulness and thoroughness of practice. I absolutely love this Slow Flow with Guy Friswell: Yoga for Lifelong Strength. As Guy says, “Everything is better when you have a little strength.”

Aerobic and Strength Training Workouts – Get Sweaty at Home

No. 5 – Free Workouts with Fitness Blender

I first started working out with Fitness Blender’s videos about 6 years ago because they offered full-length, no-nonsense workouts for free. Admittedly, they were rather boring. Kelli did the exercises, while Daniel narrated the instructions off-camera. Although I worked out with other videos, I always returned to their Youtube channel because of their effective workouts and approach to fitness.

Over the course of 6 years, this husband and wife team has evolved. Their online fitness business has exploded and their Youtube channel has over 4,000,000  subscribers! Their channel includes a variety of workouts from low-impact to advanced. I think you are going to love Daniel and Kelli as much as I do.

Here’s how the Fitness Blender team describes what they have to offer:

“Over 500 free full length workout videos + new workouts every week – Subscribe to never miss a new workout. Find detailed, day-by-day workout programs & more @ FitnessBlender.com Everything you see on this YouTube Channel is created by two people, a husband and wife team; Daniel & Kelli. We are not sponsored, we can’t be bought, we don’t believe in gimmicks & the only thing we endorse is eating real food, and working out for a strong, healthy body. Our priority is in sharing unbiased workout, nutrition & health information. Thank you for working out with us!”

I absolutely love Daniel and Kelli’s “Workout Challenge for Busy People”! Get started with Day 1 below.

Product Recommendation: JFIT Dumbbell Set with Rack, Neoprene

Looking to improve your appearance and stay strong as you age? Consider incorporating strength training into your routine. Not only can it help you lose fat, but it can also increase your muscle mass and bone density. Personally, I find that cast iron and neoprene-coated dumbbells are great for strength training, with a preference for the coated variety due to their comfortable grip and durability.

No. 6 – SeniorShape Fitness

When it comes to fitness, the word senior makes me think twice. Sit and Be Fit comes to mind. And that does NOT create a positive picture in my mind. I want a challenging exercise routine. Therefore, I was a bit incredulous to try SeniorShape Fitness.

However, Lauren provides a variety of fun and challenging workouts for women over 60.

Here’s how Lauren describes herself and her channel:

“Hello and welcome to SeniorShape with Lauren! I’m thrilled you have found my channel! I am an ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified fitness instructor. I also hold a specialization in senior fitness. It is my passion to create fun, new exercises, and routines that are never boring. My videos are easy to follow and the exercises featured are specifically curated for beginners and active older adults. The workouts are challenging and at a great pace that works well for anyone. Please subscribe so you never miss a new workout.””

Here’s one of my favorite Strength and Cardio Workouts from SeniorShape that you can do at home.

Product Recommendation: CRZ Yoga Racerback Sleeveless Tank Top

A comfortable top can make all the difference in how you feel about your workout.




Article Cool Down

It’s unnecessary to pay gym memberships, coaches, or exercise gurus to get in shape. The internet is packed with videos to choose from. Opportunities abound for providing effective, yet completely affordable methods for staying fit. Yes, it requires discipline, and some days it may be difficult to muster up the motivation to work out at home. But it’s always worth it.

    Some research suggests yoga can reduce pain and mobility problems in people with knee osteoarthritis. However, some yoga moves are not suitable for people with the condition. Find a teacher who understands arthritis and can adapt movements for individual needs, especially if you have replacement joints, and always check with a doctor or physiotherapist to find out if there are any movements to avoid.

    • Yoga Woman says:

      Hi Lauren! You are so right. Not all yoga moves are suitable for everyone. Finding a good teacher and checking with a doctor before starting any exercise program is essential.
