Gentle Pilates Stretch for Seniors & Beginners // Morning Stretching Exercises

[@sandyatsps]

Could you please create seven daily stretching videos about a half hour in length that focus on a different area each day?

[@fvaldez5998]

I have been searching for an exercise online to follow at home that is just right for me. I am so thankful to found Lauren in Senior shape. She is so good and her voice is so soothing yet encouraging. Thank you so much Lauren for sharing your talent.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so welcome! I am thankful you found my channel as well, I appreciate you working out with me :)

[@pascaletorfs8100]

Felt low this morning and wanted something soft to activate my body. This was the perfect answer.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad it's a good workout for you :) I have a new similar video coming Monday :)

[@olesyamorenko2169]

My favorite way to start the day!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Excellent :)

[@gribble2979]

I've always been active and athletic but have never been flexible. Now that I'm getting older, the lack of flexibility is really affecting my ability to be active while avoiding injury. This channel just popped up on my suggested videos and I'm so grateful it did. Fantastic!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! Thanks for clicking on the workout :) Here is a link to my playlist that has all my stretching videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLdAl5SsVkdofxWKLpa_KrgfAfWvZX15zL

[@kristastewart8401]

This felt so good, helpful to begin an exercise program again, after being away for a month. More gentle stretching videos: a nice mix between gentle stretching and more active videos.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad it felt good Krista :)

[@charlottea.9642]

[@LocalForestWitch111]

I do this every day. :) Thank you so much! Would you consider a playlist with 7 stretching videos 20-30min long for a weekly programme that would address all areas? Im worried im missing something, but this video is just soo good i go back to it 😅

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad you like it! Have you tried this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqnWlKSqq8SCbLc I also just posted a 35 min mat stretch. I don't think you are missing anything, I make sure all my stretching video cover all areas :)

[@jaynepick5289]

Great stretch. Haven’t done any excercise for a couple of months and really feel the benefit of this. Jayne

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Jayne, happy to hear its helpful 🤩

[@jolieNivea]

Thank you so much for your videos. I put my mom (she is 80 yo) to watch and follow your exercises. Normally I pause after each different movement and increase the number of repetitions until she learns it. If I don't do it, when she finally understands what she needs to do, you are 3 movements ahead of her. She cusses a lot at the TV... I will try this new video to see if she complains less

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's so nice of you to assist your mom. I hope you guys like this one :)

[@AT-vn5fq]

More of these please. I have back issues and this really helped.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

@@AT-vn5fq glad you enjoyed it. The most similar I have to this would be my standing Pilates routines. Find them in the Pilates playlist

[@AT-vn5fq]

@@SeniorShapeFitness I most certainly will check it out. I hope you do more of these. You saved my back!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

@@AT-vn5fq I also have a back pain video! 🤩

[@DhyanaaWithSaumya]

Just the sweetest, most calming energy ever :) Thanks Lauren.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Oh thank you!

[@LuzvimindaPayumo]

Have been practicing this every morning and it really help me commence my day. Thank you!!☺️

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I have a new morning stretch coming soon :)

[@Carlene-2345]

When I get sore from strength training, I've been pulling up one of your stretching videos. Helps a ton!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! Make sure you are eating enough protein and drinking lots of water too :)

[@Carlene-2345]

@SeniorShapeFitness good to know. I didn't realize water made a difference.

[@jeepersandrandy]

I added this juicy delicious stretch to your Exercises for Chronic Pain and now I am ready to start my weekend with a sleepover with my grandchildren. Thanks for making this possible, Lauren❣Lana

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That sounds like so much fun Lana! What a great Grandmother you are :)

[@dianne7033]

Hi Lauren. This stretch and mat routine was just right for me. I started my routine today with trying to do one of your other videos (gentle pilates / yoga routines on the mat; video # 10) I was a failure at this! I am not very flexible but, rather than give up, I did this gentle pilates stretch and mat routine. It was great! I could do the routine and my joints liked it. 🙃 As always thank you for all that you do.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! So glad you found a video that works well for you Dianne 🤩🙌🏻

[@rickstrassner9822]

Thanks Lauren you have really helped me as Senior to stay in shape. I like this 19 minute one yet others are good too!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Fantastic! Thanks Rick :)

Good morning! I like that you did this workout with the pilates band one :)

[@SandraDimitrov-u8v]

Thank you your exercise is helping me a lot

[@audrey3503]

I really enjoyed this stretch. 💖 Those seated stretches at the end were so good on the shoulders. They feel really loose now, but when I was doing them it was intense. Good stuff. I did this in the afternoon. 😉

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Sounds good Audrey! I'm glad you felt it in the shoulders, that was my intention to put a little more focus there :)

[@ruthgarrett277]

You are now my new am coach! Congratulations. ❤️😂😉👍🏻

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Oh, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it Ruth :)

[@longarmsupplies]

Thank you so much. I was in begginer pilates before and then injured my shoulder and quit for a while. Oh my, I've been going to an osteopath for a while and finally figured out stretching is what I need. My arms and shoulders are so tight, this was such a blessing. The stretch with the legs laying on the floor at the side even stretch my tight front arms.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I'm so happy it's helpful for you! Keep an eye out for next week's workout, it's perfect for shoulder mobility and stretching :)

[@rhondagallone5908]

This was perfect for after my 3 mile walk!! Thank you Lauren! Xo

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Excellent! You bet Rhonda :)

[@dianne7033]

Thank you! Wonderful. This was very helpful. Such a soft and gentle routine to help stretch out my stiff joints. 💜

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are very welcome Dianne :)

[@karenoehler1661]

I like this stretch class. Had to modify a bit due to carpel tunnel surgery a few days ago. Did what I could during this class, along with the weight loss walking class……modified a bit, but glad I was able to complete both classes!! 😊
