Your exercise routines are a work of art. They are choreographed beautifully and your accompanying narrative is very precise and encouraging without being condescending. Thank you for providing this type of excellence.
Great! I am 72 and love the way you talk through the movements. Explaining which muscle we are working etc. Really good for Doing first thing on the morning.
Hi Lauren I previously left a comment for you after regularly doing your 10 minute video. Thanks for your reply. Here I am again. Since then I have been almost daily mixing and matching your videos. I am 74 years of age from London and so much enjoying your compilation of exercises that are so doable and effective. My strength and stature have improved a great deal thanks to your videos delivered in calm, encouraging and such empathic way. I just can’t thank you enough. Feel so much better in myself
I just want to thank you so much for your workouts. I'm 72 and was looking for someone that understood what the word senior meant. You are a great teacher and you have helped me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
thank you so much Lauren. I endorse all the comments about your videos. You enable so many people with your calm n informed approach, especially seniors...I'm 79 n have been doing some form of workout daily progressing onto weights a couple of years ago. I have built muscle n strength n healed shoulders n knees...your work n dedication is very much appreciated.....thank you ...
Happy 68th BIRTHday to me for doing your workout video's as part of my moring routines; 3 days on, 1 day off; since February when I retired. I feel stronger than Ever! Thank's Lauren.
You are just what I looking for. I’m over 65 and I need all the help I can get and it’s hard for me to get out on a regular basis to do exercise! Thanks again I appreciate this so much!😊
I am so happy I found your channel! I did a salsa dance class on a cruise and was googling salsa workouts and found your 20 minute one, which has become a fave. I love this one also. As a non-athletic woman in my 50s, I consider myself somewhere in between a beginner and a senior LOL. I have never really enjoyed exercise or dance classes but I really love yours and look forward to them every day. I particularly appreciate the reminders to keep my weight in the heels to protect the knees and pull in my tummy to protect my lower back. Thank you for your gently encouraging presence and smile and for keeping it real. Working out with you is a pleasure!
Thank you so much Joanne, I really appreciate your kind comments! I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts and so glad you found my channel as well :)
Hi Lauren. I started doing your workouts the third week of December. Since starting your workouts and following the Weight Watchers (WW) program, I am down 4.0 pounds. It feels so good to start the New Year with a good workout that I can stick too. Thank you for being so generous with your time and posting these workouts for all to see.
Lauren I really love all your videos. I love the fact that you really explain the moves, your teaching method has really made me aware of doing the moves right. I’ve lost 50 lbs so far an have been doing 30 to 50 minutes of cardio, Hit, an strength training each day. I’ve changed my whole lifestyle an exercising to your videos is encouraging. Thanks
Love getting 2 for the price of 1 with compound workouts, and this one is fantastic!! Now I'm ready to finish off with some cardio!! Thanks Lauren!!! 💪👍😊!!!!!
I am part of an exercise group for seniors and your videos are by far our favorites. You are so encouraging yet calming and your background is so serene. Many thanks for what you do!
Thank you, Lauren I want you to know that I note and appreciate the work you have done to create new moves and to be creative each time to keep it fresh. There's a reason I keep coming back!
This was a perfect all over workout in 20 minutes! I am recovering from a breast cancer surgery and the workout goes perfectly with my PT exercises. I am going to try to incorporate it into my weekly exercise schedule. My doctor said it’s important to have weight bearing exercises to keep healthy! Thank you Lauren! 😊
This is perfect for me. I have always been fit but have had double knee surgery and lost my fitness/ flexibility and confidence. This is the kind of workout I need.
I used to lift weights A LOT in the 90s but obviously, it's been awhile. I used to love the Original Firm videos which I still consider the best but I'm not anywhere near the shape I was when I did them. This little video is just so wonderful and just what I needed as a now "young" senior and new beginner. It was extremely PLEASANT and the moves where just right for getting started again. It truly woke up my body and I can't wait to see if I get a little sore tomorrow. Keep it up! I'll be back for more. Lovely instructor and setting too!
@@SeniorShapeFitness Thanks so much!! It was such a pleasant workout, yet I'm pretty sore today so I know it did it's job. I look forward to doing more of your workouts!
I really enjoyed this workout this morning. It's a good overall start to the day and doesn't treat seniors like they are weak and fragile. It's well organized and flows beautifully. You can tell thought and practice made it perfect. Thank you.
I'm very happy to have found this routine. It was the first one I tried - my lucky day. Some of the moves were challenging for weak wobbly me at 75, but all aspects of the presentation appealed to me from the start and I will have no trouble sticking with it.
This was a new one of the many of your videos that I've used. I've loved every single one. You are calm, clear, work as many body parts as you can within the time frame. And gentle music as background. All great! Thanks so much.
Short on time this morning and this one was perfect. Thanks for always reminding us to tuck in our belly button to strengthen our core, it makes a huge difference. Thanks for all your videos. Have a great day!
I just found you! I am 67 and needed to add strength training to my cardio routine. I just did your 20 minute workout. I loved it. I need to be cautious of my right shoulder as I have a torn rotator cuff. I will look at all your videos. Thank you!
I am a 70+ senior and love these exercises that work every muscle group that I use. I feel it afterwards and know that I had a good workout. Thank you so much for this building strength video. You are amazing!
Thank you so much for a gentle but comprehensive, quick strength workout before work. I heard a podcast recently that described exercise as medicine - and strength training in particular. Thanks for helping us to work on growing stronger and gaining functionality as we age.
Absolutely! It's amazing how strength training affects the brain in a positive way, especially stress, depression and anxiety. I'm so glad you enjoyed my video and I appreciate you working out with me Athena :)
Perfect arm-weights-gentle stretch routine! I'm 65 and, although I can still walk 5-7 miles, I haven't been to a gym stretch/weight class in ages. I did my first round yesterday and I could feel it in my inner thighs this morning. I feel alive again! I've transcribed this routine to a document which I will print and carry in my car with my weights for the times I cannot bring up the video. (I do a lot of road trips with a little teardrop trailer and not all campgrounds have internet).
My health coach recommended your videos, and I LOVE them! I'm 60 years old and trying to gain strength and motion back! These are just the right challenge for me right now!
Thank you, Lauren. I’ve begun working with your 15 min. video on a daily basis. I hope to expand that to two videos, eventually. They are very helpful!😊
Great one! I always find myself smiling after your workouts. Thank you so much for all your hard work! The quad stretch was the hardest part for me today. Gotta work on that. 🙂
wonderful workout that moved my body in a different way :) Also, even though it's strength training, with the cognitive exercises and your soothing way of giving instruction, I feel like I've just done meditation as well, can't thank you enough for your videos!
Thanks! This was a good way to start the week! Just enough movement to work the muscles and work out that lactic acid. Having that timer on the screen is really nice. Also, here's an idea: what about a shirt that says "what doesn't challenge you doesn't change you"?
Thank you Lauren. This workout was perfect in length and hit all the muscle groups. Your workouts not only strength my body but your calm soothing voice and beautiful smile start my day off peacefully.
I had worked out for years and one day for reasons unknown I just stopped. I decided the other day to get back into a routine but wanted something in my age group and something that I feel will be sustainable and this channel has what I want. I'm not looking to be buff anymore, just tone and fit . Thank you for posting these videos. Look forward to more workouts with you.
I have been working out with you so often now, you feel like a good friend :) Thank you for yet another amazing workout, Lauren. Loved the pace, the music and the moves. See you tomorrow!
Hi Lauren, I have secondary breast cancer and am passionate about keeping fit without hurting myself. I kept up with you all the way & really enjoyed this workout today. I am looking forward to doing others! Thank you ❤
Thank you, Lauren, for these videos. As much as I procrastinate about exercising, I know I need to do it and you make it so much easier for me to do with these workouts! I really appreciate you!
I love this workout for a busy day. I looked at it and thought I feel tired but I could do this. Your voice was so calm and reassuring that I knew I would make it through. I thank you too for making making such beautifully crafted workouts for every occasion.
Thank you Lauren. I am happily working out with you and building my strength out of pain. Deeply grateful for your videos. I started without any weights because that was a challenge enough for me. Moved to using 2 cans of Boysenberries and moved to 1kg weighs. You make it easy to feel ok with working at where we are at. Many Blessings to you. Your work outs are such a gift.
I love your workouts. I'm doing them every day. I'm 60, and after three weeks, I can feel the changes. Thank you. I was doing the treadmill every day, and it was getting boring. Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed your workout, it includes everything I need; warm up, dumbbell exercises, abdomen exercise and ends with muscles strengthening. Thanks for interesting workout.
I just did your video for the first time and I think it’s awesome. I am developing a beginning osteoporosis exercise routine and your videos will be part of it! You make it easy to follow and your voice is so soothing. Thank you!
Hi Lauren. I did a 2 mile walk this morning, then this great strength training video. Perfect combination! Always enjoy your workouts. The best I've found!❤❤
Really enjoyed your video. I love how you instruct where the weight should be, when doing certain exercises...helps to perform the exercise properly. Your qualities lend very well to Teaching....your Naturing, supportive Voice is so encouraging - as you also emphasize one should go at one's own pace...this is also so important....as some people who are beginners and others feel they have to keep up all the time....whilst perhaps finding it a bit of a struggle. But if you just keep to what you can do in that moment whilst exercising, week by week and month by month, when you find your fitness increases and you can do more, as the months go by - but in a very progressive way. I will try and remember the positive techniques you use to Instruct people, for when I embark upon my Exercise Teacher Training, thanks have a great week!
I am 74 from palm desert California, I love to exercise, enjoy your videos and many others also. I do Pilate, yoga, tai chi. Qi gong, kettle bell, weights, stretch bands, 5000 step videos.
Wow, just found you and loved this workout. I am 68 and just lost 20 pounds and needed a gentle workout. Love your calm approach. Will check out all your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Couldn't agree more with all the other comments. Also, really like the way you remind us where we should put our weight ( on our left heel or where ever) this helps me to keep my posture correct.
I didn't learn of your channel until it appeared in my algorithm earlier this year. I love the variety of strength workouts you provide. (Well, I really love all your videos.) The variety keeps me and my muscles challenged. I especially loved the sumo squats with bicep circles. I've never seen that combo before. This is my year of getting stronger and more flexible and fit. Thank you for helping me do that. You are a great teacher!
I feel like I’m making better progress in working toward strength now that I’ve found your channel. Thank you! I have far to go. Glad to have your videos with me!
I am 55 and trying to figure out how to incorporate strength training into my routine. It’s been a challenge as I’m not really an athlete, but I just tried this video and LOVED it! Thank you so much for making it attainable, easy to understand, and sustainable.
I usually never comment on workout sites but I have been doing your workouts this last week and love them. I am 62 y.o female that was always adamant to work outs run cardio strenght, etc. I competed in a female fitness competing in the 40 age group and was very successful. Time, joints, weight gain and a desk job has really brought on decline in fitness. I started working out to your channel and absolutely love it, I get a good workout that is not hard on my joints. I really enjoy a well rounded program and you have met it. thank you so much and I hope that you continue being active and posting videos.
I’m 66 years old and just recently discovered your workouts and am really enjoying them. I’ve always been active and walk everyday in our neighborhood. Thank you so much!
I really liked this! I am 58 and have been a consistent exerciser for decades. I tried your barre class first b/c I had never done one. This strength building is great for learning proper form so you don’t injure yourself ( which I have done occasionally over the years). I highly recommend this workout for anyone new to weights or older exercisers.
Thank you so much for an excellent and gentle workout - and for having such pleasant and quiet tone in your voice. It is truly a pleasure to workout to your routines. I can no longer do heavy workouts so this is perfect.
Thank you Lauren! I’m 65 and finally found someone I love to do this with! I’m a diabetic and have been on Ozempic and recently noticed I’m losing muscle so I am hoping following you I will be able to gain some back!
Great Debbie! Let's definitely work on getting that muscle back. Extra muscle will help keep the weight off when/if you get off Ozempic. Keep up the good work :)
I've done this video twice now and am loving it. I'm just getting back into working out and strength training and this has been so perfect to do from home. Thank you so much for the thoughtful routine that is working all my core muscles. I'm really enjoying it!
I really enjoyed the workout; It turns out that lunges with dumbbells are easier to do than without dumbbells. I also liked the program for the week - some videos were completely new to me, and some I had already done, but I really liked them and would be happy to repeat them. Thank you so much Lauren for such a wonderful channel! All the best for you!
Love this video: works out both upper and lower body and not too strenuous on the knees. I just discovered this channel. Will check the other videos to help with strength training 4 times week.
I can't say enough about your workouts! I try to fit one in every day. There are so many to choose from sometimes I spend a while looking for which one to do. I have OA and my hips are pretty bad, so I have limited ROM, but I am able to do most of the workouts so far. Lunges have been the biggest problem. I hope to work up to doing your longer videos as I have only gone up to the 30-minute mark so far. Thanks for the variety.
In all my other timed videos I do a demonstration. This one is unique in that we just get right into it. It's important to me that I try different ways and methods so there is something for everyone's tastes.
Your exercise routines are a work of art. They are choreographed beautifully and your accompanying narrative is very precise and encouraging without being condescending. Thank you for providing this type of excellence.
Thank you Carleen, that is so nice of you to say! I'm thrilled that you enjoy my routines ;)
@@SeniorShapeFitnessthank you for an amazing strength workout! I really needed this and I will incorporate into my weekly routine! Blessings Lauren🌺
Great! I am 72 and love the way you talk through the movements. Explaining which muscle we are working etc. Really good for
Doing first thing on the morning.
I second that.

You are so welcome! I'm incredibly proud of you Pury. Keep up the great work and thank you for you kind words ;)
This is such a sane calming workout. No constant hyperactive talking and a great controlled speed of exercises. Am really keen to follow this routine.
Glad you enjoyed it Shirley :)
Not only great for seniors, but also for people like me with chronic pain in my late 40’s. Thank you for this!
You're so welcome Andrea :)
I’m in the same spot. Back pain 😢
I am also in the same situation & find your workouts calming and doable!
I just want to thank you so much for your workouts. I'm 72 and was looking for someone that understood what the word senior meant. You are a great teacher and you have helped me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You are so welcome Linda! Thank you for your kind words. I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts :)
Finally a routine I like and one that is challenging enough after a long hiatus .....at 81
Yay! Great job Kathrin :)
Lauren, that was so good. My daughter, who is 52, is with me now said how great she feels. So double thanks.
Awesome! Hello to your lovely daughter, love that you are working out together :)
It made me hot I had to turn on the fan
I appreciate the slower pace of relearning these exercises, it allows my mind and body to catch up with each other. Thank you for a great routine.
You're so welcome! I’m glad it’s a good workout for you Peggy 🤩
Yes the exercise is just great , and her smile and attitude goes along with it , l love exercising with Lauren . Thanks
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you Gloria :)

Wonderful! Welcome to my channel, I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
This was so awesome for beginning seniors. Nothing abrupt and shows the correct form. And can be increased weight when ready.
Absolutely! So glad you think it's awesome Kathy :)
I am so happy I found your channel! I did a salsa dance class on a cruise and was googling salsa workouts and found your 20 minute one, which has become a fave. I love this one also. As a non-athletic woman in my 50s, I consider myself somewhere in between a beginner and a senior LOL.

Hi Lauren. I started doing your workouts the third week of December. Since starting your workouts and following the Weight Watchers (WW) program, I am down 4.0 pounds. It feels so good to start the New Year with a good workout that I can stick too. Thank you for being so generous with your time and posting these workouts for all to see.

Wow Annemarie! That's amazing! You should be so proud :) I appreciate your kind words and you working out with me!
Love getting 2 for the price of 1 with compound workouts, and this one is fantastic!! Now I'm ready to finish off with some cardio!! Thanks Lauren!!! 💪👍😊!!!!!
Great plan!
Didn't want to work out today but ended up doing two routines with you--your calming voice and demeanor are so encouraging! Thank you.
So glad and proud of you!!!
I am part of an exercise group for seniors and your videos are by far our favorites. You are so encouraging yet calming and your background is so serene. Many thanks for what you do!

Happy to hear it and thank you for appreciating my work to keep things fresh ;)
Would love more 20 minute strength routines like this!
Did you do the new 20 min upper body strength routine?
This was a perfect all over workout in 20 minutes! I am recovering from a breast cancer surgery and the workout goes perfectly with my PT exercises. I am going to try to incorporate it into my weekly exercise schedule. My doctor said it’s important to have weight bearing exercises to keep healthy! Thank you Lauren! 😊
You're welcome Margery! All my best to you on your recovery :)
This is perfect for me. I have always been fit but have had double knee surgery and lost my fitness/ flexibility and confidence. This is the kind of workout I need.
Great! Good for you for getting back into fitness :)

@@SeniorShapeFitness Thanks so much!! It was such a pleasant workout, yet I'm pretty sore today so I know it did it's job. I look forward to doing more of your workouts!
Perfect workout this morning! Was running late for work, but the compound moves makes me feel like I did a full workout. Thank you Lauren!
You're welcome Cinda! It is a full workout, just a short one ;). When you have time you should return to it and two sets!!!
Merci from Paris france 🇫🇷 ❤
You are a total inspiration to this 76 year old from Bristol, UK. I can manage all of it despite a creaky back! Thank you Lauren ❤
Wonderful! Good for you :) Thanks for working out with me :)
Just discovered your workouts and am really enjoying them. Love the weekly lists because it's a good way to give myself some structure.
Awesome! Thank you Patty :)
I really enjoyed this workout this morning. It's a good overall start to the day and doesn't treat seniors like they are weak and fragile. It's well organized and flows beautifully. You can tell thought and practice made it perfect. Thank you.
You're so welcome! Thank you for you kind words Evie, I appreciate it 🤩

Wow, thank you! I appreciate that Merlinda :)
This one is great, love the feeling of the muscle stretch ! The 20 minutes just flew by
Excellent! Glad to hear it Stacey :)
Short on time this morning and this one was perfect. Thanks for always reminding us to tuck in our belly button to strengthen our core, it makes a huge difference. Thanks for all your videos. Have a great day!
You bet Lynn! It does make a huge difference and it's nice to know you are doing it correctly :) I hope you have a great day as well !!!
Thank you, i love your calm, peaceful, voice.
Its my third day, I'm still struggling but that's okay as I'm on the right path.
You're doing great! Keep up the good work :)
I just found you! I am 67 and needed to add strength training to my cardio routine. I just did your 20 minute workout. I loved it. I need to be cautious of my right shoulder as I have a torn rotator cuff. I will look at all your videos. Thank you!
Wonderful! Welcome to my channel Debra 🤩
I have had bilateral rotator cuffs so I will adjust the above head sets.
New sub and thanks.
I am a 70+ senior and love these exercises that work every muscle group that I use. I feel it afterwards and know that I had a good workout. Thank you so much for this building strength video. You are amazing!
Thank you so much Carolyn! Keep up the awesome work :)
Thank you so much for a gentle but comprehensive, quick strength workout before work. I heard a podcast recently that described exercise as medicine - and strength training in particular. Thanks for helping us to work on growing stronger and gaining functionality as we age.
Absolutely! It's amazing how strength training affects the brain in a positive way, especially stress, depression and anxiety.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my video and I appreciate you working out with me Athena :)
Can I do this exercise daily? I am 73.
You can as long as you are not too sore. Ideally , I would recommend every other day. Alternate with some stretching or cardio 😊@@eileentan1971
Thank you very much for your advice ☺️
Thank you for the great video! I love that the BGM is not crazy and loud, it was very peaceful work out, thank you❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤩
Another beautiful workout, your calm voice and variety of exercises are so fun! 💪
Thanks! I appreciate that :)
Thank you so much! A perfect balance for me-not too easy and not too hard. Just getting back into a routine.
You're so welcome! Happy to hear it's a good workout for you :)
Absolutely loved loved doing this one. So quick, with loads of movement packed in. Thank you. ❤
my pleasure, so glad you loved it!
Perfect arm-weights-gentle stretch routine!

Yay! Thank you!
Thanks! This was a good way to start the week! Just enough movement to work the muscles and work out that lactic acid. Having that timer on the screen is really nice. Also, here's an idea: what about a shirt that says "what doesn't challenge you doesn't change you"?

Hi Lauren, mine also was a creaky back..I am not finding any problem with your work out.. Very nice it is.😊
Thank you, Lauren, for these videos. As much as I procrastinate about exercising, I know I need to do it and you make it so much easier for me to do with these workouts! I really appreciate you!
Nice to hear Nancy! Thanks so much :)
I love this workout for a busy day. I looked at it and thought I feel tired but I could do this. Your voice was so calm and reassuring that I knew I would make it through. I thank you too for making making such beautifully crafted workouts for every occasion.
I'm so glad you did it and loved it! Thanks as always for your kind words as well :)
Thank you Lauren. I am happily working out with you and building my strength out of pain. Deeply grateful for your videos. I started without any weights because that was a challenge enough for me. Moved to using 2 cans of Boysenberries and moved to 1kg weighs. You make it easy to feel ok with working at where we are at. Many Blessings to you. Your work outs are such a gift.
Wonderful! That’s great progress, thank you for sharing 🤩
I love your workouts. I'm doing them every day. I'm 60, and after three weeks, I can feel the changes. Thank you. I was doing the treadmill every day, and it was getting boring. Keep up the good work.
Great Shawn! You keep up the good work too, I love that you can feel changes!!
This was perfect... had a long day and was just enough. The compound moves are so great for making the most of the time. Thank you!
I'm so glad Jill! As always, you are very welcome :)
Hi Lauren, I am so fortunate to find you. I really love your videos.
I'm so glad! Thank you Deepika :)
I enjoyed your workout, it includes everything I need; warm up, dumbbell exercises, abdomen exercise and ends with muscles strengthening. Thanks for interesting workout.
My pleasure Raouf, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I just did your video for the first time and I think it’s awesome. I am developing a beginning osteoporosis exercise routine and your videos will be part of it! You make it easy to follow and your voice is so soothing. Thank you!
You are very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed my video. I have many more, including videos that are osteoporosis friendly :)
Hi Lauren. I did a 2 mile walk this morning, then this great strength training video. Perfect combination!
Always enjoy your workouts. The best I've found!❤❤
Wonderful! Thanks Rene :)

Really enjoyed your video. I love how you instruct where the weight should be, when doing certain exercises...helps to perform the exercise properly. Your qualities lend very well to Teaching....your Naturing, supportive Voice is so encouraging - as you also emphasize one should go at one's own pace...this is also so important....as some people who are beginners and others feel they have to keep up all the time....whilst perhaps finding it a bit of a struggle.
But if you just keep to what you can do in that moment whilst exercising, week by week and month by month, when you find your fitness increases and you can do more, as the months go by - but in a very progressive way.
I will try and remember the positive techniques you use to Instruct people, for when I embark upon my Exercise Teacher Training, thanks have a great week!
Thank you so much for your kind words 🤩! I wish you all the best on your training 🙌🏻
I am 74 from palm desert California, I love to exercise, enjoy your videos and many others also. I do Pilate, yoga, tai chi. Qi gong, kettle bell, weights, stretch bands, 5000 step videos.
Wonderful! Good for you Karen :)
Wow, just found you and loved this workout. I am 68 and just lost 20 pounds and needed a gentle workout. Love your calm approach. Will check out all your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Wonderful! Good for you Paula! Glad you found me and loved the workout 🙌🏻
Couldn't agree more with all the other comments. Also, really like the way you remind us where we should put our weight ( on our left heel or where ever) this helps me to keep my posture correct.
Thanks Sharon, I'm so happy it's helpful :)
I didn't learn of your channel until it appeared in my algorithm earlier this year. I love the variety of strength workouts you provide. (Well, I really love all your videos.) The variety keeps me and my muscles challenged. I especially loved the sumo squats with bicep circles. I've never seen that combo before. This is my year of getting stronger and more flexible and fit. Thank you for helping me do that. You are a great teacher!
Awesome! Thank you, I appreciate that.
Keep up the great work 🙌🏻
I feel like I’m making better progress in working toward strength now that I’ve found your channel. Thank you! I have far to go. Glad to have your videos with me!
Wonderful! I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel Paula. Keep up the great work :)
I am 55 and trying to figure out how to incorporate strength training into my routine. It’s been a challenge as I’m not really an athlete, but I just tried this video and LOVED it! Thank you so much for making it attainable, easy to understand, and sustainable.
Great Kim! Happy to have you working out with me :)
Excellent all standing for me as I’m unable to do floor work, challenging moves, added an additional set to give me a great 30 minutes.
Fantastic! Great job and I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
I just found your channel and did this workout today. It was perfect for someone that has been out of exercise for years. Ty
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you found my channel and enjoyed this strength video. I have many more like it :)
I usually never comment on workout sites but I have been doing your workouts this last week and love them. I am 62 y.o female that was always adamant to work outs run cardio strenght, etc. I competed in a female fitness competing in the 40 age group and was very successful. Time, joints, weight gain and a desk job has really brought on decline in fitness. I started working out to your channel and absolutely love it, I get a good workout that is not hard on my joints. I really enjoy a well rounded program and you have met it. thank you so much and I hope that you continue being active and posting videos.
Wonderful Jenny! Thank you so much for your kind words 💜
I’m 66 years old and just recently discovered your workouts and am really enjoying them. I’ve always been active and walk everyday in our neighborhood. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! I appreciate you working out with me Betty. Keep up the great work :)
I really liked this! I am 58 and have been a consistent exerciser for decades. I tried your barre class first b/c I had never done one. This strength building is great for learning proper form so you don’t injure yourself ( which I have done occasionally over the years). I highly recommend this workout for anyone new to weights or older exercisers.
Thanks Katie! I appreciate your positive review :)
Pace, voice modulation and letting us do our own counts at our own pace ….. perfect. Thank you!
Thanks Susan, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for an excellent and gentle workout - and for having such pleasant and quiet tone in your voice. It is truly a pleasure to workout to your routines. I can no longer do heavy workouts so this is perfect.
You're so welcome! I appreciate that Connie 🤩
first class of the week. I bought weights to do your classes.😊😊😊😊
Good for you Juliana! Have a great week :)
Thank you Lauren! I’m 65 and finally found someone I love to do this with! I’m a diabetic and have been on Ozempic and recently noticed I’m losing muscle so I am hoping following you I will be able to gain some back!
Great Debbie! Let's definitely work on getting that muscle back. Extra muscle will help keep the weight off when/if you get off Ozempic. Keep up the good work :)
Love the strength training and how it worked both upper and lower body! Thank you for all your do!
You're welcome, so glad you loved it ;)
I've done this video twice now and am loving it. I'm just getting back into working out and strength training and this has been so perfect to do from home. Thank you so much for the thoughtful routine that is working all my core muscles. I'm really enjoying it!
Great to hear! I'm so glad you are enjoying it Vania! I have many more workouts like this when you are ready :)
@@SeniorShapeFitness Thank you! I have some that I've pulled up, waiting for me on my computer :)
I really enjoyed the workout; It turns out that lunges with dumbbells are easier to do than without dumbbells. I also liked the program for the week - some videos were completely new to me, and some I had already done, but I really liked them and would be happy to repeat them. Thank you so much Lauren for such a wonderful channel! All the best for you!
You're so welcome! Thanks for trying the (new to you) videos :)
Love this video: works out both upper and lower body and not too strenuous on the knees. I just discovered this channel. Will check the other videos to help with strength training 4 times week.
Awesome! Thank you! Happy to have you working out with me 🤩
I can't say enough about your workouts! I try to fit one in every day. There are so many to choose from sometimes I spend a while looking for which one to do. I have OA and my hips are pretty bad, so I have limited ROM, but I am able to do most of the workouts so far. Lunges have been the biggest problem. I hope to work up to doing your longer videos as I have only gone up to the 30-minute mark so far. Thanks for the variety.
My pleasure Margaret, thank you so much for your kind words!! You can always break up the longer workouts to make them more manageable.
Absolutely the best! Calm, encouraging and well paced. I feel very lucky to find your practice. Thank you for this. EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me Deborah :)
You are giving me the consistency I need to get up regularly and exercise….thank you so much 😊
Great to hear Jane, keep up the great work!!
I really liked this and plan to save it for another day, but, in the future, could you please preview the moves before the timer begins ?
In all my other timed videos I do a demonstration. This one is unique in that we just get right into it. It's important to me that I try different ways and methods so there is something for everyone's tastes.
Really splendid workout that I did after a 20 minute yoga routine. A nice combo, thank you Lauren.
That is a nice combo, thanks Darby!!
Perfect add on to my walk today...short and sweet! Thanks so much Lauren!!!
Great Robin! You are very welcome :)
Love this workout .You have such a calm and sweet style. Thanks so much
So kind of you to say Merlinda, you are most welcome :)
This is my first workout with you. You have a calming presence and you are encouraging with your gentleness. Loved it!
Awesome! Thank you Carolyn. I appreciate it :)
