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

Do you workout in your bathrobe or your pajamas sometimes? I do! This workout was inspired by those mornings when you are short on time, but want to squeeze in a quick workout. You don't need any equipment or even shoes. All moves are performed in a standing position and can be comfortably performed in whatever you are wearing. Enjoy and have a great day!

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 :)

[@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 🤩

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 :)

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@karenkocher7003]

Thanks Lauren! Another great workout. Perfect to do before a busy day when a more strenuous workout would be too much. For me that means before the grandkids come over to play in the backyard with me and our giant schnoodle!

[@jacquelinewilkins2683]

Thank you, Lauren, for keep reminding us to keep our posture throughout these workouts. Such as engaging the core and our backs! It's very important so no one gets injured THANKS FOR CARING❤ YOUR AWESOME!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Jacquline, I love that you appreciate my cues :)

[@jacquelinewilkins2683]

Hi! Lauren this is Jacqueline. It's great you appreciate us with our time and workout with you. I learned something new from you today that I never acknowledged is that you tell us to tell our minds to focus on the muscle your working on to get better results Thanks! I never thought of that because it isolate that particular muscle for better results. That's why I listen to you carefully because it's educational and productive.

[@jacqueline6303]

Thank you, Lauren, the stretch was wonderful for this evening. I will do it in the morning too!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! You are most welcome Jacqueline :)

[@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. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I'm thrilled you loved it Liz : Have a great weekend :)

[@LisaTravis-w5c]

Wonderful morning stretch! Felt great after it. And I so appreciate your soft, calm voice that you use in all your videos. Much appreciated! Thanks a million

[@beatricemarie7880]

I have hard time with the Figure 4. I can do it with right leg, but not my left, can’t get foot above right knee due to left hip arthritis. Any suggestions? Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That is very normal to have more mobility on one side. On your left, just guide your ankle as far up your chin as much as you can. You will still get the same stretch in your hip. It may also be better to do the figure four stretch in a sitting position or lying down.

[@beatricemarie7880]

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.

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!!!!😊
