[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome Staci! I'm not surprised at all, you have putting in the work :)

[@heavenb0und]

Hi I am from Malaysia. Your work section I just love it . Thank you ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for working out with me!!

[@pattistrain4071]

Okay, this is my absolute favorite!!! I was wishing I didn't use ankle weights. They made for quite an additional challenge. But I'm glad I did. Thanks so much!!! Walking my noodle legs to go get some water now!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

lol! Good for you for using ankle weights Patti, I'm so impressed :)

[@crissheilaagabin9542]

Love this. Beginner friendly, just enough challenge for the knee but not painful (coming from a person who has knee issues) I feel good after finishing this workout. Lauren’s calm and gentle voice as well as the calm piano background is relaxing and encouraging especially during intense part of the workout. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great job! You’re right Cris this is still challenging 🤩

[@asravello]

More like this, please! Great class.

Excellent workout! Did it barefoot as you had suggested and it is definitely gives a better strength exercise for ankles, feet and legs. Will be doing more barre workouts barefoot! Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Good to hear Judy!

[@надеждакороткова-ъ3п]

Wonderful gymnastics! Everything worked out (with my 77!), except that the stretching was not very large in amplitude. But everything was perfectly charged and stretched, so a couple more of these workouts and I’m a ready-made ballerina. Thank you so much, Lauren!

Challenging and rewarding at the same time! This is a great workout for the day when you have more time, and can be balanced by the series of 10-minute workouts on the days when time is short. Thanks Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Absolutely! You are most welcome Bonnie :)

[@MarcelaDiaz-yq2cs]

I'm so glad I clocked on your video ❤ The duration is perfect, and your description of the poses make it easy to follow along without glancing at the screen every 1.5 seconds. This is my first time doing barre as I was suggested to explore this as I recover from a broken ankle and foot. The chair made it gentle enough for my stance and I still feel like I worked my whole body!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Marcela! I’m so glad you found me as well! Best of luck on the rest of your recovery and keep up the good work 💜

This was lovely. I couldn't go down too much in the plies, but tried to keep the mind-muscle connection alive. Would barre help me get strength and mobility back into the legs?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Absolutely! Barre is great for leg strength! Be patient with yourself, barre uses many underutilized muscles. Stick with it and you will see results for sure!

[@gran510]

Perhaps you have advice for people with bunions where the big toe turns inward toward the other toes. My feet cramp in certain positions especially when pointing toes but also at times when flexing my toes. I love standing barre workouts, where this is more of a problem though it happens as well on the mat. Thanks.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes, this is very common. I have three pieces of advice. One, make sure you are hydrated. Dehydration can cause muscle cramps. Two, consider a magnesium supplement. Most people are deficient in magnesium and this also can contribute to muscle cramps. Thirdly, maybe try some toe spacers. You can get them between all toes or just between your big toe. Hope that helps!

[@gran510]

@@SeniorShapeFitness Thanks so much - I take a cal-mag supplement and do stay hydrated. Since this happens really just with the worse foot, maybe a toe spacer would help … I may have an old one lurking in a drawer.

[@maureenwilson7178]

I really like the top you are wearing, is it available at your online store? AND I loved the workout 😊 I am working on perfecting my form.
