This was wonderful. I liked the way you incorporated balance into strength. I find all balance exercises frustrating but the way you do it gives me more confidence.
I really enjoyed this workout. Balance and strength that felt like cardio. Loved it. ❤ Balance is so important not only for seniors but for everyone. Thank you for this wonderful workout.
What a nice surprise to wake up to a new workout. I LOVED all the lower body moves and whew, the inner legs part, awesome! Also, you pretty thing with new bangs. I love them!
I am 13 weeks post op after displaced patellar fracture surgery...I found your channel & it has been SO helpful in helping my rehab progress even beyond my PT & surgeon s expectations! Thank you for your good work here & I am now in the strengthening portion for my knee & this segment is exactly what is recommended at my stage of recovery... thank you again!
This is just what I needed today! Love being challenged. And the moves really focused in on the specific muscles. It's so much fun to mix it up. And it helps with my motivation to try something a little bit different! Thanks Lauren!🎉
Lauren, my son just purchased a Smith machine. He cannot believe how good my posture and form are when performing different exercises. Kudos to you for your wonderful instructions during your workouts. Thank you! P.S. I turn 70 next month! Happy holidays!
So interesting to see where I can balance OK and where it's very difficult! And my legs NEED that strengthening! Thanks for another varied, interesting, fun, challenging workout, Lauren.
Love the bangs. Thank you for a great workout. My balance has been improving. I have more pain with lunges than squats for some reason. After I did this workout I did your knee pain one I enjoy doing 3-5 times a week. You have also given me the encouragement to incorporate weights.
I look forward to doing this workout and enjoy when my balanced is challenged! I would add ankle weights for more challenge and I substitute curtsy lunges with side lunges because my knees don't like the angle that it positions the knees and I can feel my glutes engage more. Thank you for thoughtful and effective workouts Lauren!❤
Lauren, this was just lovely! My lower body feels completely worked and yet relaxed after the stretching you included at the end. The flow was wonderful, the music was soothing. Your instructions were so beneficial and right on point! Let's just say....A+++++++++++++ Thank you. :)
Wow!! So great and so challenging. I had to stop the video a few times to catch my breath. i was sweating a lot which was great. I used my 10 lb. weights but as I mentioned had to take a few breaks. I loved this workout. I also like the chair stretches because I can do them standing but know a lot of people that can't so I can suggest this alternative for them.
Amazing!! Just what I needed. Balance with strengthening…. Awesome!! Will be doing this workout many more times and will try to increase the weights. Thanks so very much!❤
Brilliant! I added this workout to my weight playlist. I appreciated the challenge of balance and strength training. Thanks for sharing and keeping me motivated.
Loved this Lauren! I found it challenging with the 8 lb weights but was able to do it. I appreciated the inclusion of balance with weights. I need to hit the shower! Love your cute new bangs!
I am going to try this workout again in a few days. I was getting muscle cramps in my torso and legs, my left knee was uncooperative and my lower back (although I think it was both hips) was screaming. I haven't had these issues in several years but it has been raining here at the Jersey shore for several days. It really seemed like a great workout!
I just found your channel in TH-cam recommendations. This is exactly what I need. Today is my first day toward getting fit, which to mean means being able to move more freely and eventually get my body toned. Thank you for thinking in terms of a senior and giving some alternate ways to do the moves. You have a wonderful calming voice that is encouraging❤ I'll see you tomorrow😊
Great workout! Simple, but at the same time difficult! I happily did this workout before lunch. Thanks to your channel Lauren, I can already do 2-3 workouts a day and not feel tired. Thank you very much! Have a good day!❤❤❤❤❤😊
This was an absolutely fabulous workout, Lauren. I really felt it. I used a set of 8lb weights, without much difficulty. I didn't need the chair. I try to practice balancing exercises when I brush my teeth at night. Thanks for this wonderful workout. Please do more like this!💖💖🫶
@SeniorShapeFitness Thanks, Lauren. I don't ever want to wind up like my mom. She had early onset Alzheimer's at around 60, and was constantly falling. Luckily, she never broke anything. I was always pretty limber, and can still touch my foot to my head. Such a great talent, LOL. 😅 Even with fibro, I know that I have to keep my muscles moving. ❤❤
Wow, Lauren, your new look and this new workout are on fire 🔥 🔥 👏🏻💯 I often think balance is not an issue for me but boy am I wrong when I start working out with you - your knowledge and your conscious construction of these routines is absolutely awesome💪🙏🏻❣️
This is TERRIFIC! I did it ALL with eight pound weights (although my lunges weren't very deep 😂). So proud I could stand on my toes-- a PT achievement! Adding this to my rotation, for sure!
Just found your channel recently. It’s great! I really liked this workout, but I have bad knees, so lunges are really hard. Any suggestions for modifications?
Thanks Beth! to modify lunges, just step out or side or whatever direction the lunge it (like the heel press we did in this warm up). Also check out my "knee friendly" playlist. There are several workouts you will find that don't include any squats or lunges :)
I sometimes miss the moment were I suppose to switch sites..Such a wonderful composition of excercises.💪💪 The stretches were wonderfull! Thank you so much for this 😘.
Well then, that’s a workout. I feel like I got a good isometric arm workout holding the weights as well. Also have to mention that at the beginning of this year I mainly only used 3 lb. weights; gradually transitioned to 5 lb., and now I’m using 8 lbs. for a lot of the workouts! I’m going to celebrate my 69th birthday in two weeks and feel stronger than ever!
Definitely loved this great work on my balance thankyou 🙋 Hope you don't mind me mentioning but their was at least 4to 5adverts during the class never seen this before didn't deflect from the great class see you tomorrow 🙋⛄🧑🎄
This was wonderful. I liked the way you incorporated balance into strength. I find all balance exercises frustrating but the way you do it gives me more confidence.
That's great to hear Heidi! Glad you found it wonderful :)
I enjoyed the workout and worked up a sweat 😅but I experienced multiple ads as well and had to stop all but one time to skip the ads.
I fixed the problem. so sorry you had to deal with the ads!
I really enjoyed this workout. Balance and strength that felt like cardio. Loved it. ❤ Balance is so important not only for seniors but for everyone. Thank you for this wonderful workout.
You're so welcome! I appreciate your great review Joan :)
I did feel like cardio.😊
wonderful. I like the mix of barre, balance and strength all in one.
Glad you like it Catherine :)
I did sneak a little barre in there!
Lauren you're the best! I work out with you every day. today was awesome!!!
Yay! Thank you so much :)
What a nice surprise to wake up to a new workout. I LOVED all the lower body moves and whew, the inner legs part, awesome! Also, you pretty thing with new bangs. I love them!

Once again you knocked it out of the park. Wonderful way to start the day. Now I can move with balance and grace.
Awesome! Happy to hear it Rebecca :)

Perfect! So glad it's a good workout for you Colleen :)
love the addition of balance to strength!
Can't wait to do this. Thank you Lauren. A side note. For the first time ever, we are seeing ads during the workout over here in the U.K.
Hope you enjoy it Karyn!
Some of my videos have ads, but it should just be one in the middle during a transition or "break"
Yes, but this one had about 5 in it, just randomly placed. The ones in the breaks are fine. Just wanted to make you aware.
Here in the US as well, for the first time. Several times during the workout. Even during the exercises.
USA too. I’m watching on TH-cam
You're right. I fixed it now :)
This is just what I needed today! Love being challenged. And the moves really focused in on the specific muscles. It's so much fun to mix it up. And it helps with my motivation to try something a little bit different! Thanks Lauren!🎉

Fantastic! Glad to hear it's a good workout for you Anne :)
The combination of strength and weights was wonderful. Thanks
Glad you liked it! You're welcome Yolaine :)
I did this with 7 pounds and loved it. It was a bit more of a workout than I expected, but a feel-good one! Thanks!
Thank you, Lauren, for this really great workout. It looked easy, but it gave me a good workout. Congratulations on your 500K subscribers!
Yay! Thank you so much :)
I love your new look. Breathtaking. And as always another great workout. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thanks Marilaine! Merry Christmas to you as well :)

Great! Glad you made the workout your own Letricia :)
Great workout for the lower body. Really enjoying the standing strength workouts with weights. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Fabulous! I love that you incorporate balance, weights and stretching all in a 30 minute workout ❤
Glad you liked it!!
Lauren, this was just lovely! My lower body feels completely worked and yet relaxed after the stretching you included at the end. The flow was wonderful, the music was soothing. Your instructions were so beneficial and right on point! Let's just say....A+++++++++++++ Thank you. :)

Give this one a try, it may be better until you are feeling okay again Laura :)

That's so exciting Joanne! You have been working hard and I'm so proud of you :)
You look so pretty！ Love this balance & weight workouts, thanks for your creative lesson for my mature body needs❤❤💪💪
Thank you for your kind words Ruth!
joyfull!!
Thanks!
Thank you! I will hit this as soon as I wake up a little! 😂
I watched on TH-cam and did not see any ads.
You may see just 1 ad before we grab the weights. I fixed the issue that was there when it was first released this morning.
Me encantan tus clases, no sé pueden traducir al castellano????
Definitely loved this great work on my balance thankyou 🙋 Hope you don't mind me mentioning but their was at least 4to 5adverts during the class never seen this before didn't deflect from the great class see you tomorrow 🙋⛄🧑🎄
Thanks for letting me know about the ads! I fixed it, there should just be one ad now at the transition :)
@SeniorShapeFitness Thankyou Lauren I wasn't complaining just found it a little strange didn't deter me from the fantastic class 🙋💐
Terrific awesome workout! I discovered you a few months ago. I also like the chairs pilates. And that you offer 10 and 20 minute workouts.
Glad you are enjoying them Roberta :)
I wouldn't blame you for complaining, it's super annoying. Please LMK if you run into that again on my channel.
❤❤❤❤🔥🔥
Glad you felt the burn :)
I liked this despite the amount of lunges but too many advertisements. I had to put weights down to skip the ads
So sorry, I just fixed the ad problem, this was a mistake on youtube's end.
❤😊
Thanks!
Great workout. The ads in the middle of the exercises were annoying. I know you need ads but that many and their placement is not great.
Yikes! I just fixed the ad problem. so sorry Robin :)
This was too much on my knees, other than that it was great
You may want to check out my "knee friendly" playlist that has all my workouts without lunges or squats
