Join Coach Sheree for a fun, full-body Fitball and Dumbbell workout designed especially for women 50 and beyond. You’ll strengthen your arms, back, legs, and core while improving balance and stability — all using your fitball and a pair of dumbbells (or even just bodyweight).

This workout includes a mix of rows, presses, curls, core twists, bridges, planks, and stretches that help tone and strengthen the entire body. Whether you’re a beginner or already active, you’ll love how the ball keeps your body engaged and your balance challenged.

You’ll Improve:

  • Core stability and posture

  • Shoulder, back, and leg strength

  • Balance and confidence in movement

  • Everyday functional strength for life after 50

How did you go with that?

I hope you enjoyed that today. Let me know if you want more of this. I've been a trainer for 20 years, training people 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, probably the oldest.

I've never trained a 100-year-old, but that would be fun.

So, let me know if there's something you'd like and I will aim to pop it on here for you. Thank you so much for joining me today.

I'll see you next time.
