Simply brilliant exercise routine! I just loved it! I have lower back issues and cannot do regular Pilates anymore, this was very refreshing! Needed this to strengthen and lengthen as well as stretching my tight muscles. Lauren you are amazing and a bright light to all of us who need someone who understands and teaches modified moves! My body feels better already! Thank you so much! You definitely are making a difference here! 💖🌸💖🌸

Just discovered this terrific chair version of Pilates. I used to teach Pilates and am now much older and creakier--but I discovered that can do your chair version (whew!). Now I have hope for getting some of those Pilates muscles and tone back. THANK YOU! You have such a thorough understanding of body mechanics and joint issues for seniors, and these safe routines for older people and beginners can reverse some of the physical impacts of aging. What a difference. I'm telling my friends about Senior Shape.

Wonderful! Thank you so much Mary Lee! I appreciate your kind words and you sharing with your friends 💜

[@EOS-zx3cq]

Mary Lee, that's SO great that you taught Pilates and now can do the chair version!! I worked in Physical Therapy and have less-good knees with all the concrete floor walking/standing/leaning etc. I've done but I've certainly enjoyed Lauren's Pilates even though I have to do chair version. I WISH we had known about some of these moves back in the 80's, 90's for our patients!! I still do some Massage Therapy and am turning my fiends to these videos to encourage them to stay in shape and/or stay loose and flexible. And YUP, I'm older and creakier now too. hahahahaha! But in some ways, in better condition as well. 🙂

[@vanilittlestar6357]

I Love all of your workouts Lauren. If I hadn't injured my Achilles, I don't believe I would have been doing the chair exercises. I've been doing all of your chair workouts & I am not disappointed. I really enjoy them all. Thank you Lauren for being so patient with seniors that look for people like you to workout with. You really are awesome!

Throughout my life I have exercised. I have run, walked and jogged, done yoga, Pilates and Taichi. Since I'm aged, I have worked out by using Utube as a source for my workouts even with my hula hoop of more than fifty years. Although, I walk with Leslie Lansome weekly I have searched for methods of muscle training. Today I found it with you. It felt so great stretching my muscles like in yonder times. I 'm thankful to have found you after surfing Utube your preview attracted my attention which is why I'm saluting you. It was not the least disappointing. So happy to work with your calming voice to prompt harder attempts. When it was over, I felt energetic like younger days. Thank you.

I am so happy to have found you. I am 81, have lost (intentionally!) 70lbs/5 stone/30kg in the past eight months, and now have to tackle the balance and posture issues I have been left with after pushing a wheeled walker everywhere for the past four years or so. Knee problems meant I could not walk without one indoors or out. The weight loss has meant that I have been able to give up the idea of two knee replacements (at 81 I don't want the major surgery) and I feel as if I have my life back. I have never enjoyed this kind of exercise nor tried yoga or pilates - I played tennis, squash and team sports for preference - but your gentle and persuasive style has won me over and even after just 6 days of exploring your range of videos, I already regret it if I miss a day. The gentleness is deceptive - it's tough love and the routines work even though I can't by any means manage everything yet. As a huge bonus your voice is sheer delight to listen to - and believe me, with a daughter who is a voice coach I am super-critical of such things! Thank you so much.....

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story, you are truly an inspiration! I am so proud of you and your hard work and positive outlook. That fact that you can make such drastic changes to your body at 81 is truly remarkable! I appreciate your kind words and I hope you continue to enjoy my videos :)

I’m happily ready to try the standing exercises now. I feel that finding your workout channel saved me. 😊

This was fantastic! Stenosis is causing me to explore lots of seated exercises. Lauren your seated exercise options are a huge blessing! Thanks. I highly recommend these videos for anyone working with hip, balance or knee issues.

I am 82 and I love this workout. I can't put my ankle on my knee but I do the rest. Love this and I feel great after. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome Lucy. I love that you feel great afterwards. Thanks for working out with me!

Thank you Lauren for this workout. It really was a complete workout that hit all the spots. The glutes are still burning. I know you put this out a year or so ago so I wish I had seen it earlier. I have found over the years my hips struggle to do the floor Pilates/Yoga so this was a welcome relief that still works the hips without having to lay on them.

You're so welcome! I’m glad it’s a good workout for you Laura 🤩

[@exploringmylife409]

Im working on these moves!! Adding regular Pilates to my life. I really appreciate the gentle approach. We don't have to HURT!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks. I simply could not face the treadmill this morning.🙂this felt wonderful

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! Great job listening to your body Lisa :)

I love your all your workouts, but especially the chair yoga and pilates! I've worked out all my life, but now at 68 I prefer gentle moves on most days. The results are amazing, my muscles do hurt the next day, and the moves encourage me to utilize my core and adjust my posture during the day. I honestly feel the ease makes me want to perform them consistently which in turn has produced visible results! I can then add some cardio and strength training, when possible, and I find I'm able to perform them better than when I was 40! My back and knees thank you! 🤩

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! That's amazing Pamela! I love your attitude and it's great to hear about your results. You are most welcome, and thank you for sharing :)

Hi Lauren. Thank you so much for your amazing videos. My 84 year old mom and I are following you every day and working out with you. It is our first time ever doing yoga and Pilates. She lives 500 miles away from me so we FaceTime with each other while working out with you. This way we can encourage each other and enjoy your workout together. Thank you so much

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so welcome Teresa! I love that you are working out with your Mom and it's a way to stay connected. Keep up the amazing work :)

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I'm glad you found me as well Jane :)

[@user-kx5zi3we5g]

I am a healthy sixty-nine year old woman looking for low impact exercises. I, highly recommend all of these videos. I make the pilates, chair yoga, and the arm weight routines part of my daily workout. I have always done yoga, weights, and treadmill. These routines are not only great for strengthening but the instructor is warm and very relatable.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much Elizabeth, I appreciate your kind words and I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts :)

This is the first time I saw your excercise. I followed every single step you did in this. I found that it's very nice and not too difficult to follow. I love it. Thanks a lot.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I am so glad you love it! Thanks for working out with me :)

[@triciascott4575]

My left leg is in a cast so these seated routines are helping me keep in shape and retain muscle strength. Lauren keeps it so positive with her smile and encouragement.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]
