Recently diagnosed with vertigo... had to stop my yoga. I stumbled across your TH-cam and tried yoga after 3-months of being away. In tears, all joy... thank you. I think I am getting my life back.
That's great Audrey! I'm so glad my videos are helpful :)
Hi there!I am a 66 year old woman, overweight and unfit. I have tried so many "beginner" yoga and workout videos that are way past achievable levels for me. I just recently found your channel and I am thrilled. The exercises with weights and the stretches are a challenge but are actually doable for me! It really encourages me to stick at it and improve my overall health. Thank you so much.
Wonderful Ann! I’m thrilled my workouts are a good fit for you. Keep up the great work 🙌🏻
Another winner! I really enjoy these gentle stretching videos in the evening. I was pretty excited to discover that I can do a downward dog--something i would never have attempted a few months ago. Huge improvement in my flexibility since I discovered your channel. 😊
Wow! That's great Carlene. I'm so proud of you and your improvements!
I feel 20 years younger with this gentle core workout; recommend others to participate ❤️💪
Great to hear Ruth! Thank you :D
Thank you thank you thank you!! I'm 36 but have fibromyalgia so your videos are perfect pacing and challenge level for me. I'm so grateful for you!! 💜
You are so welcome! I’m grateful for a viewer like you as well 🤩
Love the stretching 💪👍❤️
I'm not a senior but I haven't really worked out for 5 years. I'm losing weight but my doctor said I have to build muscle. Thanks for this series.
You're so welcome! Yes, building muscle is so important at any age, and building muscle mass burns calories so it's really helpful in losing weight!
Great one to do just before bed!
Yes! Thank you!
I have to tell you what a blessing you are! After injuring myself a while back doing something I probably shouldn't have been doing, I've decided that (to a point) maybe I should act my age. I've been looking for workout videos that don't feature 20-somethings doing movements that are now off my plate. I've considered a few senior programs... but they're too slow and I spent more time listening to instructions that actually working out. I came across your workouts by accident and I'm so glad I did. I schedule a variety throughout the week (and you have a great variety) and they work well with my cardio workout. Please keep doing what you're doing... and, you have a wonderful personality. Thanks for your dedication to those of us who aren't quite ready for the rocking chair. God bless.
Thank you so very much Denise! In a nutshell, you expressed exactly what I hope to accomplish with my channel!!! Keep up the great work, I'm thrilled you are working out with me :)
Totally agree with everything you said Denise!
100% with Denise,, she fills the gap
This is a wonderful "rest day" activity for me with the arms and abs workout also. 💙
Wonderful!
Loved this, gentle but really stretching those muscles ❤
Thanks Anna! I'm thrilled you love it :)

I am 59 years old and love this video! It is great to do after one too many days of weights. Have done it many times as I can't seem to find many abs and stretching videos! Would love another one, maybe all standing. Thanks for all the great videos!
I'm so glad you like it Shyleen! Here is the link to my 10 min workouts. There are many 10 min abs and stretching videos (not together, but quick workouts) th-cam.com/play/PLdAl5SsVkdofbaTvn5Nsd1gclYr2L4LXY.html

Thank you! ❤😊
You're welcome :)
Perfect after your HIIT Workout!❤😊
Great Katie! thanks :)
Good morning! Another day of intense gardening yesterday (digging things out, moving things around). Did your bedtime stretches last night and slept like a log. Didn’t feel like a vigorous workout this morning so I started with your 1-mile walk followed by this new one. I love it! You’ve got something for everyone and every circumstance. I do appreciate it! Enjoy your day!
Fabulous! Have a great day as well! 🤩
This is so good at the moment. To start the day if you did not sleep so well. Thanks again Lauren. ❤
Glad you liked it and I hope you sleep better tonight!
Very nice stretch ❤
Thank you 😋

Great job! stay cool Julie :)
Thankyou Lauren just added this onto the end of a yoga class I like to do more relaxed classes on a Sunday this was perfect 👍see you tomorrow 🙋❤️
Yes! I agree about relaxed classes on Sundays. "Self care Sundays" to set the week :)
Sometimes you just need to be gentle with yourself. Thank you
Absolutely :)
OMG! Lauren, that was heavenly! Just did this video after a cardio workout & it's definitely a delicious treat for all that hard work! Absolutely wonderful. Also, my quads & hip flexors are sending you an extra big thank you because they just LOVE to get a good deep stretch. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Wonderful Jeannette! I'm thrilled it felt great and was a "delicious treat"!
Did this one for the first time this morning. The stretch with one leg extended to the side-wow! Thanks for the interesting things you come up with.
You're so welcome! Thanks Jill 🤩
Feel amazing and challenging❤🩷
Thank you! Your stretches have greatly improved my back pain.

Did this fabulous stretch and abdomen alone. It was so relaxing and I do feel wonderful. Thank you so much.
Thank you Joan, it's my pleasure :)
Used 4lb was conformable 👍❤️
Just getting back in to working out. Had a partial knee replacement in October 2022. My Dr told me I could do anything but run. I’ve been walking on a treadmill and some weights here and there but wanted to ease back in to yoga. Love your workouts. They are perfect.
Great to hear my workouts are a good fit for you Lisa!!
Really enjoyed doing this one and will definitely do it again - felt relaxed and stretched out afterwards!
Wonderful! Thank you Andrea :)
Day 39, tired after a long hike and I could not face anymore cardio or energetically moving about lol. This was perfect for my aching legs. Just perfect.
Oh good! I agree. I often do this type of exercises (stretch and abs) when I don't feel like doing anything, and it makes me feel better :)
Wonderful workout 👏 I was able to do this one easily.
Thanks Lauren
❤kanak
Happy to hear it Kanak :)
Did your 10 minute warm up, and 10 minute arms and shoulders first. Really enjoyed this one. My right sciatic nerve is really picky with floor abs. I have learned some tricks now. Did the same thing but with my legs lifted in the butterfly position. ☺
Sounds great Anna!
lovely workout! lots of new things to capture and keep ADHDs attention!! lauren I was looking forward to your Otober 2023 calender of workouts! Is there a delay? or have I missed it?
Excellent!
I always just do a weekly workout plan, I've never done a whole month calendar. I post the weekly plan on Sundays both on the community tab and in the playlist tab on my channel's main page. Here is the link for this week: th-cam.com/play/PLdAl5SsVkdoeg1JVB4NEBk0JLUVQWz5EG.html
Love this stretch. Do you have a hip flexor stretch. All of a sudden my hip are tight.
I have a whole video for hips! Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/68YgEdcR1Rk/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I like this for a quick stretch. Would you have any session that would be helpful for a flared sciatic?
Here is a link to a pain relief video. The figure 4 seated in the chair is great for sciatic: th-cam.com/video/PzG5pKAeaYo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you 🙏

Thanks Amy!
