Chair Pilates Cardio Workout for Seniors & Beginners // Feel Good Seated Exercises

[@cubherder5903]

Lauren, just wanted you to know that my 87 year old Mom who passed away from pancreatic cancer in January 2023, exercised with you for 2 years with 3 of her daughters joining in via zoom. My mom exercised with you until 1 month before she passed. She took exercising with you very seriously, and we all benefited as we chatted and laughed and exercised together through covid lockdown and my Mom's illness, until she went to heaven. Thank you for your smiles and for safe exercising that didn't cause any injuries to any of us. You are a blessing!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much for your kind words and letting me know. This brought tears to my eyes and is exactly the reason that I have this channel! I hope she is still working out with me in heaven ;). Sending much love to you and your family and please thank them all for their support :)

[@lesliebrzezinski2760]

So sorry for your loss. Your Mom is an inspiration to us all. Such great memories that the daughters have of that Yoga time with Lauren. ❤

[@robertboone6886]

Hi Lauren, I really enjoy your workouts. I'm as flexible as an I beam. How do you release those stretches one vertebrae at a time?

[@gloriasanchez4963]

👋 there...just want to thank you ...this exercises are part of my life, I feel renewed ❤

[@reinarago5438]

Another amazing workout! Love the core work associated with Pilates. Thank you Lauren!

[@barbarakendrick9614]

[@veronicagood8763]

Your program is the first one I have ever continued on with, you don’t lecture and just are so pleasant and describe things so well. Also I never feel any discomfort in my muscles and lower back as I usually did with other programs. Much appreciated.

Lauren, I had ear surgery a few years ago. Unfortunately, my balance was affected. I have a hard time with any standing exercises. These workouts are just made for me. I actually find myself working harder because I m not trying to stay balanced. Thank you so much.

Lauren, I just discovered your workouts and I am so enjoying them. I’m 62 and in good health. As a new retiree, I want to prioritize workouts to gain strength and flexibility. Your gentle and timely pointers throughout the workouts make a big difference. The workouts are challenging but manageable. Thank you! I’ll be doing more of your videos in the future and I have recommended them to friends.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Janice! I appreciate your kind words and your recommendations very much. I'm thrilled you are enjoying my videos. Keep an eye out for a new chair pilates in a few weeks :)

[@stacischeetz7597]

Spent all day on my feet yesterday, but rather than not exercise, I did this! I am proud of myself for pressing forward in a safe way and so thankful you include these chair workouts! They are challenging and I was able to do exercises I couldn't do before!! Forward. Progress!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Excellent! Good for you Staci :)

[@wendykirke7653]

Lauren, I am so enjoying your series of seated chair exercises as I nurture a foot after complex surgery. You really have saved my sanity and my body after enforced non exercise during recovery. I am so happy and relieved to have found your seated workouts and I find the level of care, information, encouragement and understanding just wonderful. I am so grateful dear lady. Thanks a million! Cheers, Wendy

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I have been doing this workout for about 2 weeks and love it. I shared it with a family member. I combine this with my Abdoer machine workout. I had injured my left hip flexor by over doing it with my elliptical machine and treadmill. My orthopedic doctor approved of this new, low impact routine.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yet your sweet voice and the design of the program have completely wake my body up, now I am eager to start your other class of my choice. Can’t thank you enough for offering so many variety classes which I can always find something to work out no matter what kind of mood I am in that day! Thank you again!

I fractured my spine last year and have had a spine operation for a titanium cage with Vertebrae, and my consultant said a couple of weeks ago that I need to start exercising. So I have been searching for some exercises and yours are the best so far. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I appreciate that Ann. Thanks for working out with me :)

[@lovemy3sonstlc]

Did video for first time while my chair yoga instructor was out. Enjoyed tremendously and have saved to KZbin library and will do videos from this instructor. She easy to follow and very calming demeanor.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Michele. I'm so glad you enjoyed the workout!

[@bachhunagaraj3668]

Lauren, Your fitness videos are just incredible. They are peppered with the right amount of stretches, suitable for Senior citizens like us and the right amount of moves to increase cardio. But what really sets apart your videos from others is ... Your demonstration, your explanation and of course your soothing voice adds to creating a very motivating mindset. In our lives, we get hooked to so many things, many harmful to our minds and bodies and probably this is the first time, i can proudly say, i am hooked to something extremely good for our bodies and mind and thoroughly enjoying the process. Heartfelt thanks to you for creating such phenomenal content, which is helping me and millions of others i am sure. It is indeed very heartening and satisfying to see such genuine effort in today's world, where fake, thrash and objectionable content is ruling our lives.God bless you

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you very much for your beautiful words Bachhu! You made my day and I'm so thankful for your appreciation for my work and your kind words. You're right, there is a lot of trash out there. This channel is my way of hopefully making a small difference in the world. I just want people to feel good in their bodies.

I am 47 years old. I have Spina Bifida, and mostly use a wheelchair. I walked with crutches when I was younger, but with age and a LOT of weight gain, I have become a lot less mobile than I used to be. My legs have gotten weaker over the years, as has my core. This makes using my crutches much more of a challenge. I have had periodic physical therapy over the years, but insurance only pays for something like 6 visits a year. After that I am left with the paper handouts to try and do the exercises on my own. I have injured one of my knees in falls a few times over the years, so that's been an issue. In all the years of physical therapy I have done, NOTHING has given me the results that I have gotten from following along with this video. I have done it almost daily for the past 4 months, and I ABSOLUTELY notice a difference.... my core is stronger, as are my quads, and I'm standing up straighter when I use my crutches, and am able to once again pick my feet up for a step. Thank you so much for this video... it has been AMAZING for me, and I share it on social media all the time, for my disabled friends and my elderly parents. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Oh my gosh! Good for you! This is amazing to hear! You have obviously been working hard and it's paying off. Have you done my other chair pilates videos? It's good to switch things up because they all work the muscles in different ways. Let me know if you want me to send you the links :). Thanks for sharing and keep up the awesome work!!
