Cardio Workout with Dumbbells for Seniors & Beginners // Osteoporosis Friendly!

[@daniellegee8073]

I am so grateful to have found your channel. I am 45 years old and have been struggling to find some form of exercise that feels good and that I look forward to doing. After dealing with tennis elbow and frozen shoulder for a few year I was left feeling frustrated that every time I start a workout program for beginners my body would hurt too bad to continue. I felt defeated and I joked to myself that I needed a workout for seniors because even the beginner programs were too much. I literally typed in senior workouts into KZbin to see what came up and I found you. I tried a few workouts and felt a little sore the next day, but nothing too painful. Now I look forward to my exercise! I also let go of trying to do it everyday and focused on when I had the time so that I didn't keep beating myself up. We all have seasons when we are busy with work, or families, and we don't have the time everyday. I finally have given myself permission to do what I can when I can and that's enough. I also don't get stuck on which video to do. I just pick one that looks interesting and try it out. 99% of your videos that I have tried feel good to my body. So grateful for this channel!! You have made a difference 🙂

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I love your attitude Danielle and I'm so glad that my workouts are good for you! I agree, they are still challenging and are definitely not your grandma's workout! Thank you for your kind comments and keep up the great work!

[@kimdouglas]

Thank you, Lauren, for the osteoporosis friendly series. I am so grateful. Keep them coming.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so welcome! Thanks Kim :)

[@heidiastles3711]

Very happy with this workout! I too am so pleased to have found your workouts! 😊I feel like I have done something without feeling “beat up”! 😂

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Heidi! I'm glad it's a good workout for you :)

[@lottiebrown999]

Your workouts are helping me to gain strength and confidence picking up and carrying my 20 pound baby grandson. Functional fitness is essential as we age to maintain independence and reduce risk of falls and injury too. As a retired Orthopedic nurse I really do apreciate your channel and look forward to your graceful clear workouts. Bless you ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Lottie, thank you for your kind words 🤩 Enjoy your grandson 😀

[@jeancogdill5240]

Your workouts are easy to follow, graceful and gentle; yet I feel the work the next day. Not sore, not painful just noticeable that I moved my body. Your smile and gracefulness is encouraging and supportive.

I feel just so lucky to have found your channel. I have always done very active exercises, but now I am 57 and have been struggling to keep up with the tempo. Then I found your workouts. They help me be physically active and sweaty enough, yet feel calm at the same time. Thank you so much!

Wow! What an interesting plan for this week: lots of dumbbells, Pilates and standing stretches! I love it all! And today's cardio with dumbbells is a lot of fun - a variety of easy exercises. Exercises with dumbbells are very necessary for everyone, regardless of age. Thank you so much Lauren! I wish you a good week! We're looking forward to a new workout today: what's new for us from the inventive Lauren?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I appreciate your energetic support! The new video will come out on Tuesday. A full body strength with light dumbbells that dancer/barre inspired :)

[@karenoehler1661]

Loved this class!! First time doing it, and since I’m recovering from carpel tunnel surgery, I’m gradually getting back into using weights, so 2lbs. was perfect!! I combined this class with the walking weight loss class and a 10 minute stretching class!!! Thank you!!! 😊
