10 Exercises for Strength & Balance for Seniors // 30 minute Osteoporosis Friendly Workout

[@debbiebowles9621]

I absolutely love your workouts!! I am so motivated by them and actually look forward to exercising everyday. I used to go to the gym and there is no comparison! I can feel a difference with your workouts! Thanks!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome Debbie! I love that you are seeing a positive change 💜 thank you!

[@EOS-zx3cq]

Boy! Isn't that the truth! We can go at our own pace, stop if we have to take time to change positions from standing to mat, or ease the pain, or do a 'rerun' 🙂 It's fun exercising with Lauren! Do miss SOME of the social aspect of the gym but not worth missing a GOOD practical workout like these!!

I have been doing your workouts for about 3 years since I retired. Shortly after I retired I had a Medicare required bone density test, which showed mild osteopenia. I had another one last week that showed normal bone density, no hint of osteopenia! I attribute that your bone/joint strengthening workouts. Thank you! FYI: I am pushing 70.

[@bonnieculp3035]

Thanks Lauren, I just had a bone density test, and it came back as a better score. I believe its because of your exercises. Thank you so much.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's great Bonnie! Thanks so much for letting me know. and nice job on all your hard work!!!

Thank you, Lauren for a class that was challenging enough and effective. Strength and balance, it's a win win!

Wonderful! 🤩🙌🏻💪🏻

[@me-pu6be]

I enjoy the weeks playlists. I feel like when you incorporate different movements daily it keeps exercises interesting and challenging. I’m trying different exercises that I wouldn’t have done before. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Love that! It's so important to move our bodies in different ways :)

[@donnadewright]

I appreciate your kind reminders to hold our stomachs in, to keep our shoulders down. etc. so that we are working the right muscles and keeping our posture correct so we do not cause areas in our bodies to be injured😊

Delight! The exercises were at the limit of my capabilities, but they turned out to be quite doable, even the balances worked. Weighted forearm abduction movements have always been difficult for me, but it turns out that if you use only one arm, it works much better. I really enjoyed the training and it’s good that the channel has plans for the week. Thank you so much to the wonderful and wonderful coach Lauren!

You really do pack a lot into these. I'm very thankful that you have made achievable workouts for beginners that provide plenty of explanations and encouragement.

I can find a workout for any situation, whether I only have 10 minutes or I"m able to do a longer session. And then I can also combine them! Hip pain has been an issue but I've found excellent workouts that help with that. Thank you, Lauren!!

[@JaniceReynolds-c3u]

Hi Lauren, I can do this whole workout, and things are hard for me. I had my right knee and right hip replaced. The hip didn't go so well...I wondered if you could make up a workout for seniors' ballet that would be low impact on all the leg joints but still be a good workout. I cannot do most of the ballet workouts due to my hip and knee issues. I love all of your workouts, Lauren. You are inspirational to listen to. Please don't stop doing this!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Please give this workout a try Janice. It's easy on the joints because it's in a chair, but you will be shocked at the great workout you get: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGmsqYawortqj8U

[@suekusch9703]
