Loved this workout! More chair pilates, please. Thank you!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure! So glad you love it!

[@bernadetteprego9951]

What an awesome chair Pilates workout. I love it❤❤❤! How lucky are we seniors to have somebody like you looking after our well-being! The toe massage feels very relaxing; it is great for blood circulation to our extremities! Thanks again Lauren! Mwah😘!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I'm so glad you love it Bernadette! Thank you for your kind words and support :)

[@ChittarupaYoga]

She is so good. 😊

[@cathysanford8051]

Even with your gentle Pilates, I receive an awesome, body productive workout. Lauren, you are a genius.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! Thank you Cathy, so glad you got a good workout :)

[@rosanesandberg9119]

Just what I needed this morning! I always feel better after working out with you. Since starting doing more pilates with you I have seen a real reduction of my "leakage" issues. Thank you

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great to hear! I love that you are noticing results :) Keep up the great work Rosane :)

[@sandrasackstein9990]

Who knew you could do so much sitting on a chair! Thank you Lauren!

My pleasure Sandra :)

I used to take Chair Dancing Burlesque and it was very sexy. It taught us that every woman is beautiful & forever sexy. The routines were a bit challenging and we learned new routines ever 2 classes. Always new, unique, and a workout. It was very cool to learn how to be sexier at the age of 58. 😊

[@LisaColasurdo-e9q]

Always amazed at how many moves you have in your bag of tricks!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Lisa, I hope to never be boring :)

[@shawnlitzenberg4108]

You’re still my favorite senior workout! I’ve been working out with you for about 3 years. My flexibility and strength have definitely improved. I loved today’s chair pilates workout! Keep em coming!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome! Thank you so much Shawn :)

[@kelliwaite7159]

I’m limited in my mobility temporarily due to my cast BUT in 3 days it comes off and my plantar fasciitis should be on the road to recovery! LOVE your channel to help me maintain lean and strong at 43. I look forward desperately to get back to full workouts…soon 🎉. Thanks again for another great workout, perfect timing for a chair video! (Also, your side bangs look fantastic on you 😊)

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Kelli! I love that you have continued to workout and not use your cast as an excuse!

[@Rebelmusedesign]

How do you get surgery for plantar fasciitis? No one’s ever offered me that.

[@kelliwaite7159]

@@Rebelmusedesign Hi there, I had “Plantar fasciotomy” for severe plantar fasciitis. My doctor recommended a podiatrist. My podiatrist determined it was too severe for anything but surgery. This is week 5 and I am pain free and able to walk/workout/run without pain. I wish you the best💕

[@tonij1739]

I now rotate 6 of your videos. FYI I’m 72 and absolutely love them and truly appreciate you. Wishing all the blessings ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I appreciate great viewers like you 🤩

[@tonij1739]

Update. I went to my dr. appt and as soon as he walked in he said “I can tell you work out! You are my healthiest patient!” This is thanks to your workouts. Thank you again for caring ❤

[@annw-fitz4412]

Good morning from Croatia! I have been a faithful pupil of yours, that then I took this trip and neglected my exercises for several days. With the tours we do there’s a lot of standing and slow strolling which kills my back. I’m in a very small hotel room and this morning I decided I needed Your work out today and this has helped. Now for a hot shower or bath and I’m ready for the hike we have planned for today…. thank you again!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

safe travels Ann, that sounds like a lovely trip!! Glad you got a release for your back with this video :)

[@HA-kw7vq]

That was very good - thank you Lauren

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤩

[@DebOlliff]

I think this might be one of my favorite chair routines. Thank you Lauren! Again, I am so happy I found you. I would much rather workout at home at my own convenience than have to go somewhere. I have never enjoyed exercise routines, but I love this and don't mind exercising at all when I tune into this channel. You have changed my life, Lauren, and I am sure there are many who would ditto that! 🥰

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! Thank you for your kind words Deb, it’s really nice to hear! Keep up the great work 🤩😍

[@kathyw9952]

You recommended this workout when I commented on my spine issues and my doctor’s recommendation to strengthen my core. Great workout! I’m feeling less back pain and I’m definitely more flexible, thanks to both of your workouts. I never thought I could get this strong again. Yay!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great to hear! I’m so proud of you Kathy and all your hard work 🙌🏻

[@adolfogirau2610]

[@fionablack1227]

Hi Loren - thanks for having suggested I try the standing Pilates workouts, because I decided to give this routine a go, when my MS meant I wanted to exercise from a seated position. Really enjoyed the whole workout and thought the abs were really quite amazing for moves done from a stumped position 😄🙂Will definitely be doing this again👍

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! Love that your husband joined you! When you are ready you can try to use ankle weights. That will help strengthen your quads in a seated position. I also have an entire playlist of knee friendly workouts as well as a video for knee pain. 😀
