Morning Standing Stretch Workout // Activate your Muscles in your Pajamas!

[@barrystent3689]

Oh my goodness. I've gone from being a complete wreck barely able to bend to feeling fantastic in 15 minutes. Thank you Lauren. Really amazing 😃

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! Happy to hear it Barry :)

[@elizabethleech8435]

You are such a gift Lauren. I discovered you 6 months ago and love the variety you offer. This morning stretch is wonderful to do when time is short or when my muscles need a rest recovering from the more strenuous workouts. Thank you SO much.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I appreciate your kind words Elizabeth :)

[@bettyratliff7377]

I’ve been working out with you since I found your workout videos for seniors two years ago. I’m 67 and I absolutely love your workouts. I’m out of state visiting my son on his 50th birthday. Waking up this morning I really needed to stretch so I pulled up your video standing stretch on my iPad and I feel so much better🥰

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's great to hear Betty! Safe travels and check out today's new video when you get a chance, it's perfect for traveling :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ2Te5Wnm66FfKM

[@dinarizk11]

Pressing play on your videos is like coming to my happy place, Lauren! Every detail is so comforting! No mental gimmicks are needed here, especially at this time of the morning! Thanks, and I wish you a wonderful weekend! 😊❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you, I appreciate that! I hope you have a great weekend as well 🤩

[@rolandf7419]

Thanks!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Roland! Glad you like this new workout :)

[@sherrimalone3023]

Thank you! Someone finally gets it. If I have to get the mat, do down dog and cat cow on my wrists..it ain’t gonna happen. Everything about this morning stretch is perfect. 🎉❤😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Sherri! I’m so glad it’s a good workout for you 🤩

[@MrMead]

Thanks!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you! I appreciate your support 🤩

[@elysespielberg327]

great way to start the day

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome! Have a great day Elyse :)

[@marlene6024]

Got half way through for today. That's a win for me right now 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! Hope you have an awesome day :)

[@bridlewoodyoga]

When I saw you come out in your robe, I knew I’d found the right channel! I’m a 55 years old, active my entire life but lately everything hurts😅 I knew I needed to keep moving but scale back just a bit to avoid injury. I’ve searched and searched KZbin for something that was challenging, but lower impact. I’m so glad I found your space. I feel like I’ve finally found my workout home.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! Happy to have you working out with me Debbie :)

[@amym1885]

I've been working out with you for a while now. I say probably several months now. I love the variety that you do. It keeps me guessing. I'm never bored. Funny fact:I usually exercise to you in my night clothes. That way I won't get my clothes sweety. Lol. I do Leslie Sensors Walk At Home Videos as well. You both are a big help to me. I thank God for the both of you. You have both help me lose weight. I'm going through perimenopause and having high thyroid issues. I gained weight from both and I wasn't eating healthy snacks. That didn't help. My thyroid is doing better,I'm eating better,exercising to you and Leslie and now I'm losing weight. So,thank you back th very much. You two are a God send. God bless you both!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Amy! I'm so glad you are enjoying my workouts, Keep up the good work (in your night cloths) !

[@amym1885]

You're welcome Lauren! I really am enjoying.the workouts. I'll do my best(in my night clothes)!

[@saskia22]

I'm only 25 but I haven't done any sport in some years so I'm slowly trying to get back at moving my body. Especially in that summer heat I'm looking for some stretchy workouts that don't leave me sweatier than before. This was an amazing stretch, my body felt stretches it hasn't felt in some time. Will definitely come back even though I'm not a senior 🙈✨💯

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! You’re in the right place, only half of my viewers are seniors 🙌🏻

[@viclareugi6195]

Thanks for this video! I just did the exercises and feel fully awake now 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful!

[@rodabautista4447]

This is great. I stopped exercising for a while due to emotional problems. This stretching exercise made me feel better. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad it made you feel better 🤩

[@patriciamcnaughtdavis5232]

Am recovering from wrist surgery and have really missed working out with you for the past three weeks. This workout is just perfect to get moving again, thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You’re welcome Patricia! All my best to you for a speedy recovery 🤗

[@franceboucher895]

I have tried a lot of exercises this year, but none were as fun but most of all I was able to complete them without hurting myself or skipping part of them because I could not do them. So thank you very much for this and for becoming part of my morning routine!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I'm so happy to have you working out with me :)

[@kimwilliams1280]

Hi Lauren. Finding your channel has made such and impact on my fitness level. I have a desire to workout daily but with a high BMI and Osteoarthritis in both knees, my task was finding gentle challenge. I found it with your workouts and then some. I want to workout each day because of your videos. I love the variety of tools you use. I am trying to bring more structure to my workouts to maximize my outcomes. Any chance of you doing a month long targeted series that would include a calendar? That would be helpful for me. For the most part I get up each day and get dressed and ask my body what it feels like doing today. Not a very strategic way to approach this. Thanks again for your commitment to this community. 💌

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Kim, that's so nice to hear! Great job listening to your body :) I do a weekly playlist as a workout guide every Sunday. I post it to the playlist section on my channel home page as well as in the community tab. Here is the link to this week's plan: kzbin.info/aero/PLdAl5SsVkdod_H1Ql0DYu4iGu2p_GZZ_s

[@nancywohl7009]

Thank you

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Nancy :)

[@lindabtrimmer576]

Thank you, so glad I found you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

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

[@judithrowbotham273]

The morning routine is new to me , but I like it . I feel fully awake , stretched, and ready . Thank you

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! That's what I was hoping for :)

[@phyllisdohms3835]

I love your videos. Just right for us older ones. Thank you very much!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so welcome! I’m thrilled you love them Phyllis 🤩

[@stefaniamagnabosco4713]

Hello Lauren today Is 1 June and I'll do this workout all the morning in june. Thk you are precious 🌺

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow! Good for you Stefania :)

[@lovepraylive22]

My hips are always an issue. I deep cleaned my home yesterday and I woke up sore this morning. These stretches helped immensely! Thank you for your work here. 🎉

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad it was helpful :)

[@faithlilis]

wow since I'm not used to streaching solid 15 minutes straigh, I actually felt a lot better after this, some light but very good stretch workout, thanks

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad it helped! Love that you feel good 🤩

[@sherrimalone3023]

This hits all my trouble spots. I’m not able to do a true aerobic workout yet so the little bit of cardio is perfect for me. Thank you for all you do.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're welcome Sherri! glad it's a good workout for you :)

[@phyllismorgan2014]

It's the perfect morning "Wake Up My Body" routine. Love it!! Thank you for being here!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank YOU for being here Phyllis :)

[@martinbrown7903]

Lauren.That is marvellous and since I always do your workouts before I get dressed in the morning, it is good to hear you call it the “ PJ workout”. Perfect. I’m sure a lot more people should do these exercises first thing in the day rather than later. Depends! Hope you have a good day.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Martin! It's nice to hear that you workout in your PJs as well :)

[@estherrace7184]

Just great. I really like your work outs. It's been hard to find something suitable for my friends and I (relatively fit women in their 50s and 60s) - most channels seem to be either targeted at young flexible gym bunnies or the properly frail/elderly. Senior shape is perfect, providing a good range of relevant exercises to suit us all. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Esther! Happy to have you and your friends working out with me :)

[@joycewright3136]

I have been looking for the best series of stretching and chair yoga videos and I think I have found it!! I love the background wall, plant, and simplicity of your open space. Everything is so calming-your voice and the music. I will be back. Every. Single. Day. You have given this 65 year old HOPE. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's so nice of you Joyce! Happy to have you working out with me :)

[@debbiesilverman5683]

After Monday’s fantastic workout, the morning stretch was perfection for this morning. Going to up my weights to 5 pounds. Will take it slow and steady. Have gone from 1 to 3….. now 5 YEA. Have a great day!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great job Debbie, I'm proud of you :)

[@evikosma6909]

Great!! So I ll be seeing you every morning besides my end of the day!!!....As we say, first thing in the morning last in the evening😅❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Love that!

[@LesHoa-DuMal]

I did this after my morning coffee and did another 20 mins of stretching. Thank you SO MUCH. Tomorrow i'm doing this first thing -- i feel so energized.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! LOVE that!

[@annbanderson]

Another good one! I did my PT routine and then I did this one and I feel great.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! Thanks Ann :)

[@drleach44460]

I loved this practice.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Happy to hear it! Thank you ;)

[@kingfisherdreams9845]

Did your bedtime stretches last night and woke up to your new morning stretch today! Feeling great, thanks!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! You are very welcome :)

[@kareemahamdy1223]

Lovely workout to start the day ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Kareem :)

[@sharicorum4196]

This was perfect! Woke up in the hotel stiff and creaky. Didn’t want to put on workout clothes just yet but needed to get the body moving. Thanks! And I love your top! 💜

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Excellent! Hope you are having a nice trip Shari 🙌🏻

[@mariagrimes1896]

Adding to my morning Playlist. Thanks so much ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so welcome Maria :)

[@paulabrock5232]

I really like this workout for those days when I just don't feel up to a lot of motion. This will be my go to workout on those days. Today I am recovering from a cold so this was perfect for me to do something when I don't have the energy yet to do more.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! Hope you feel better Paula :)

[@graftedingrace6594]

Just completed this on a cold Autumn morning, wearing my huge fluffy jumper. Absolutely beautiful way to start the day. Thanks so much for creating such accessible exercises. I truly appreciate it. This was amazing 😍 ooh...i just sae you have a dancer stretch video, guess what I'll be working out to next ❤ God bless. Shalom.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Love that! You are very welcome :)

[@suzemiller5163]

Another good one. I try to do one of your routines 5 times a week , some,definitely harder than others!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

For sure. I like to offer something for everyone :)

[@ChittarupaYoga]

Keep trying things till you find what works for you. 🙂

[@annettegenovesi]

This stretch workout was a real miracle. It totally engaged me; so much that I kept thinking that I'll check the clock so I wouldn't go past my usual ten minutes and suddenly it was ending! That has never happened to me before. This was a deceptively effective and amazing workout of the entire body that was so soothing. Thank you once again for a wonderful experience.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! I'm so glad you enjoyed it Annette :) You are most welcome!

[@cherandgray1875]

Loved the morning wake-up stretches, I feel like the blood is pumping around now. I love your great variety of stretches, it keeps my interest in exercising. Thank you Lauren.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@akelley.73]

I've been sick for a week so I wanted something light to get all my muscles stretched and activated. This was perfect. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! Hope you are back to feeling well soon :)

[@susanwallace9768]

It's always been my goal to do a morning stretch before work and I think I found it with this one! Thank you!

I really like the work on balance. And I do have sciatic issues, so I’m glad you also added that stretch.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad it was helpful Lisa :)

[@gailryans378]

I love these stretching exercises. I find variety in your exercises especially for seniors.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you love them! Thank you Gail :)

[@SusanBaker-p4f]

Good morning and thanks for this. I'm really struggling to workout in the heat, even in air conditioning. Any other exercise modifications would be appreciated. I have Osteopenia in the hips and lumbar spine. Your guidance is so helpful.🙏

[@rhondaquintana2811]

Fabulous. Ready to start the day with better mobility 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome! Have a great day Rhonda :)

[@imp1074]

It’s a miracle how you pack in so much in a short period of time! Thanks again, Lauren💝

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure!

[@jenr3593]

I'm renaming this one my jet lag workout. We just got back last night from a wonderful trip to Indonesia to snorkel their incredible coral reefs. We got plenty of exercise on the trip; however the return involved almost 30 hours of plane/bus travel. We don't know whether to eat, sleep, or cry lol. Did sleep, ate a little, and felt all stiff and creaky. This workout was the perfect answer when I didn't have energy for anything else. It's nice to go, nice to be back, and nice to have a perfect SS workout to turn to!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Jen! Your trip sounds amazing! Check out my new Recovery workout as well. That should be a good video while you are trying to get back to "normal" :)

[@najmehalyasin4194]

I love her top! So gorgeous

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks!

[@susancarreon6770]

That was perfect! I was literally in my robe, not wanting to take it off because of the beautiful cool morning ( oh how I love the coolness and early morning light of spring)! So when I saw your newest video with your robe on, it made me smile. Great morning workout. I did get warm midway through and took off my robe ; ) That last 4 stretch has also been a long time favorite of mine : ) Thank you, Lauren.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! Thanks so much for the great feedback Susan and letting me know I'm not the only one working out in my robe!!

[@laurelfrancke8382]

Loved it. Just what I needed today. I was needing some loosening up after some unaccustomed recent physical activity - kayaking yesterday.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad it was helpful, I love kayaking 😍

[@dejaycox1977]

What a wonderful way to start the day! The stretches were just what the body ordered. On top of that, your sweet disposition makes your workouts enjoyable. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You’re most welcome! I appreciate your kind feedback 🤩

[@antoinettebayrakdarian7702]

Thank you for this Lauren 😊 A very much needed gentle stretch routine. After doing the perimenopause/menopause waking up the body workout (which was fab) (3 days ago, I found out it was a workout I need to grow into. I think you have a saying Lauren, to the effects of 😊everyone is different & everyone will need different recovery times & different levels & paces. Which you are fantastic & educated in giving us. ❤ (I clearly did too much ouch 😩 that’s on me). Thanks again for all your wonderfulness. 😊 Words cant describe how grateful I am for you & your channel. 🤩👍

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so kind Antoinette, I appreciate your support. Great job listening to your body and taking a break. This is a great recovery workout :)

[@Eve_M45]

Love this morning workout ❤ I can do this exercise not only every morning but any 20 minute break between work! Thank you 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

perfect! You're welcome Eve :)

[@cathysamuels4638]

Lauren, your videos have been a go to for me now for over 4 months! I look forward to your new videos each week! Sadly, I have had to take a step back, although not altogether, due to some issues with pelvic prolapse! I am seeing a physical therapist and learning some new techniques. Would love to see some strength training videos that are safe for prolapse! I think many of your videos could be modified for it for sure! Thank you for this stretch exercise in your bathrobe!!! Sometimes early morning that is the best!!!!😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you are seeing a PT Cathy. Have you done this video? It's specifically for the pelvic floor and hips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGm8mHiamLdkiM0

[@cathysamuels4638]

Thank you! I hadn’t seen that one! Will definitely give it a try! Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! You are most welcome Anita :)

[@liztownsend2026]

Loved this! Squeezed it in after static bike workout and before going back to work. Particularly like the shoulder rotations as upper back and shoulders can get tight after a bike ride. Love the variety you consistently upload. ❤

Thank you SO much for these. All of your videos make me feel ABLE. I am only 27, but my weight (and related bad knees and asthma) make it very difficult to even start exercising. Even many "beginner" videos are difficult. Thank you so much for making execise accessible and fun for EVERYONE. I benefit and get my heart rate up in a way that is comfortable without pain. Thank you a million times thank you.
