Pilates Stability Ball Workout for Beginners & Seniors

[@robynschwebe4768]

I'm not a senior, but new to stabilty ball exercises and don't want to injure myself. This was a great intro.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! You're in the right place Robyn, Only half of my viewer are seniors :)

[@tereseweir5019]

Again Lauren, I am so happy I found your channel because after 12-hour shifts at the hospital, sometimes a person just needs to come home and exercise in a way that makes her feel good and strong again instead of beat up. The hospital does enough beating up thank you very much! I love the Pilates workouts, and especially I love this Pilates stability ball workout. It is good sneaky fun! ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Good for you Terese! I can only imagine how exhausting that must be. I'm thrilled that you love it and that you had fun :)

This video was much more challenging than met the eye. Those small movements really challenged my muscles. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Lauren. My core feels stronger!🌻

Wonderful! That means you were doing the exercises correctly Jacqueline :)

Love this. I’ve done it weekly for a couple of months. Definitely feeling the difference both core tone and waking up with less aches. Love that you have 10, 20 & 30 minutes routines so never an excuse that I don’t have enough time to exercise. Thank you 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Emma! I love that you are feeling a difference, keep up the great work :)

That was great!! On cardio days I like to double up with a partial stretchy, partial workout video, this one totally fits the bill👏🏻. A few ball moves I haven’t done before. That ab work while pressing the ball against the knees was killer!! I get so excited when I see a new video🎉

[@mariamyfairytale]

Good morning from Greece! I am doing your workouts from April! Thank you for your job! It really helps me!!! P.S Sorry for my English, it's not my native language 😊

[@mariamyfairytale]

*since April 😅

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts Maria :) Your English is perfect :)

[@michellefumo4846]

Good stuff! ❤❤❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks 😁

[@Sheba-us7og]

Really enjoyed workout, thank you. There were few that "you do you" so I did. Though really enjoy doing them. Advice please, this may not be your area of expertise, though you may be able to offer suggestions, I have scoliosis (harrington rod) surgery was 12 yrs at time not 62yrs 1975, so no flexibility from shoulders through to coxis, after surgery was bedridden for 12 months so bone in leg able to regrow (bone graph for back, no physio in those days and I lived in Townsville QLD Australia, scoliosis was a foreign language to doctors! ). Have worked out to many of your videos, question is have you ever considered some specifically for scoliosis? Just a thought and thanks in advance regardless of answer. AND thanks again for all your videos.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I appreciate your suggestion. videos that I have done that are really specific tend to not perform well. Realistically, the best exercises for scoliosis are pilates moves. So any pilates video should be helpful :)

[@richardmiller5818]

Great video

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much!!

[@sim0790]

Hello, thanks for your videos with stability balls they made huge difference. May I ask how many days do you recommend to do in a week for beginners? Do you recommend any other your videos before or after doing this to stretch or cool down?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great to hear you are noticing a difference! You can do this video or any other as much as you want. Just make sure to take a break if you are sore to allow your muscles to recover. Here is link to my playlist that has all my stretching videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLdAl5SsVkdofxWKLpa_KrgfAfWvZX15zL

[@clc7378]

🎉TY!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you tried this one :)

[@TarrynS1]

Hi Lauren. I want to get myself a ball like this for when you do these workouts. What size do you have here please?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Hi Tarryn. My ball is a medium or 65cm. Most companies have size charts based on how tall you are.

[@TarrynS1]

@@SeniorShapeFitness Thank you so much, I just saw that on Amazon and I’m glad I did as I’m only 5ft3” haha

[@karynmartin]

What size ball would recommend? I am 5ft 6in. Is there a standard size? I cant wait to try these ball workouts. Thank you both for all your hard work.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

sure thing Karyn! Here is a link to the Probody pilates ball: amzn.to/45V6Xry According to their sizing you would be a size M 65cm. that's the size I use which is for heights 5'6-5'11. Because you are on the lower end you may be okay with a small as well. I have a coupon code for 10% off if you want this brand. Just enter FITSHAPE at checkout

[@karynmartin]

@@SeniorShapeFitness I live in the UK unfortunately

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

oh, got it! You should still be able to find one at a good price :)

[@cmoicbibi]

Can you make more videos with ball 😃

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Here is the playlist with all my stability ball workouts: kzbin.info/aero/PLdAl5SsVkdocbUBzgSLd8kH7yXwN_A6hl

[@naomijansenvanvuuren2119]

It would be good to see the exercises from the side to make sure correct posture

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Except for the warm up , this entire video is viewed from the side. I'm not sure what you are asking...
