Best Strength Workout for Seniors & Beginners // Shoulder & Knee Friendly Exercises!

[@cheryladams6229]

You were awesome, I am introducing you to all my senior friends who do not exercise.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome! Thank you Cheryl :)

[@class7038]

I have just found you and am really enjoying the gentle and challenging stretching and strengthening exercises. Very much enjoying these sessions and I am not an exercise person. Your sessions make it feel possible and your gentle nature encourages me to work through. Thank you so much

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure! So glad you found me. I'm happy to have you working out with me :)

[@arianaarroyo9925]

Thanks for uploading another standing strength workout. These videos are great for those of us who have a smaller space to exercise. This video is a good length for me to complete before or after work. I am not a senior but I am a beginner. I appreciate the clear instructions, mellow background and absence of loud, distracting music.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

THanks Ariana! Glad it's a good workout for you :)

[@sigalelyada8748]

I am not a senior too, but her videos amazing,even the cardio is enough for me,feels exactly what I need to get in shape.

[@k.alboyd9020]

Yes a wonderful calm and simple strength workout. 💪🏼 I see you are on the road to 500K subscribers!

[@anncott]

Your workouts are so well thought out and executed! So thankful for your channel!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you Ann, I appreciate that :)

[@beverlyperry663]

Lauren, thank you so much for listening to your followers. At 66 years young, I have had multiple shoulder surgeries for my rotator cuff, which in 2022 led to total reverse shoulder replacement on my left shoulder. I also have pretty horrific arthritis in my knees, which means no squats for me. Sitting in a chair is fine, but actual squats make my knees sore for multiple days in a row. This workout is perfect! More please!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are very welcome Beverly. I'm so glad you like it :)

[@oliverundmarionhahnen8996]

Thanks a lot for this Workout. I enjoyed it.

[@alanlee9851]

Hi Lauren, I am a 60 year young male and this workout is very suitable for me. Many thanks and blessings 😊

[@Broadway24]

Your teachings are an integral part of my wellness program while I journey through my new breast cancer diagnosis. I have three young children I plan to be here for, for many years to come and I know fitness level will certainly impact how well I traverse this new terrain of ups and downs. I deeply appreciate your thoughtful programs and the freedom for me to participate in the various levels you set out. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are most welcome. My heart goes out to you and your new diagnosis. If your attitude is anything like your writing, you will come through this with grace, an amazing attitude and love for life. I’m thrilled you are enjoying my videos. Listen to your body throughout the process. Wishing you all the best 🥰

[@juliemacefield3307]

Thankyou Lauren another great strength class with stretch included 👍see you tomorrow 🙋❤️

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Julie, happy Monday!

[@Julia21d]

Thank you for posting this. We really like standing strength classes over 30 minutes. The standing part is due to our dog who only allows you to stand and exercise before he gets involved. Longer classes are better as we are going for 60 minutes per day. Thank you for the great inspiration! Looking forward to this class.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Sounds good Julia!

[@karenoehler1661]

Loved the variety of this workout!! I also did the 2 mile walk class which is one of my favorites!😊

I’m on day 163, doing your classes 5 days a week, and you have helped me more than you could ever know….I can really enjoy physical activity again, especially keeping up with my almost 4yr old grandson! I was a mess when I started 8 mos ago. Today I’m doing better than I have in years! God bless you! ❤

Nice workout but my lower back does not like bending forward so much. I appreciate the varied workouts to try though. So happy I found your channel.

Make sure you tighten or engage your core so you don't feel the moves in your lower back. That should really help. You also don't need to lean very far forward, it's fine to keep the movement smaller :)
