Pilates Stretch & Strength Resistance Band Workout // 30 minute Mat Exercises

You will feel great after this 30 minute pilates class using a resistance band. We will tone, strengthen and stretch all the muscles leaving you with more energy and feeling like you accomplished something!
I'm using a stretchy resistance band for this workout. You may also use a resistance band that has handles. You may also do the exercises without a band!
You will walk taller and improve your posture with these exercises that are appropriate for all fitness levels including seniors and beginners.
All exercises are performed on the floor. Please make sure you are on a soft surface. You may want a pillow to support your head, knees or hips in certain positions.
I appreciate you working out with me! Please let me know how you liked this video in the comments and share with a friend.

Hi there, I’ve just discovered your channel in the last few weeks and am loving every workout, slowing making my way through. I regularly do yoga, cycling, swimming and pilates and find all your workouts a great challenge and a real mix. I set my Fitbit each time and am surprised at how many calories I burn during a session. Thank you so much for the enjoyment you bring to the workouts, I can feel and see the difference. Kelly from Sydney Australia.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome Kelly! I’m thrilled that you are loving the workouts and seeing a difference! 💜 thank you for working out with me!

[@heidilasser2323]

I feel so much better after doing this. I was stressed about a few medical issues and I had aggrevated my lower back. I was frustrated that I had to take it easy. This gave my body and mind an outlet.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That is so nice to hear Heidi :) All my best to you :)

[@claudiamausner8772]

Moves are always interesting, makes workout move quickly! Lots of reps makes workout even harder. I agree, regular band without handles would be preferable -- but I managed with handles. Thanks, Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Claudia! Glad you got a good workout :D

[@lindakinczel8499]

This has the potential for becoming a go-to video for me, but I was so uncoordinated this morning, by the time I got my band configured you were halfway through the move! But I’ll get it and I’ll love it!

Hi Lauren, have been doing your workout since last October, love all the workouts, esp the resistance ones, wanted to request if you could do a workout with yoga block/brick. Appreciate it.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you! I can add it too my list. What kind of workout did you have in mind?

[@ekaterinadunin77]

Fantastic new workout! Thank you, Laurent. What time you recommend to do it- is it good to do from the morning or better couple of hours after taking meal?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad you liked it! Feel free to do it whenever you like! But yes, not on a full stomach is best 💜

[@macyd4]

This is my 1st ever pilates, and I'm too scared my band would break haha. It was a good stretch though. Thanks!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks for trying it! As long as your band isn't old, it shouldn't be at rest of snapping!

[@stacischeetz7597]

Wow! This is TERRIFIC! I can't believe I haven't seen or done it before! Stretching is the BOMB!!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! So glad you like it Staci :)

[@sharlinestasio2460]

Lauren….do you have any workouts with the weighted hula hoop??? Thank you for ALL your workouts…I do a different one every day and walk/bike on weekends…I’m 64 and realize importance of movement and flexibility for mental/physical health……

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so right Sharline, that's a great attitude! No, I don't have any workouts with a hula hoop. Unfortunately, I've found that when I do a video with a prop that's very specific, the video doesn't do very well ;(. I know a lady on Facebook that does nothing but hula hoop fitness classes. Would you like me to get in touch with her and ask if she has any videos? I don't think she has a KZbin channel, but she may livestream. Let me know!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Lois!

[@raymanning98]

thanks I love it. How long should the red band be?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

YOu're welcome Tatiana! The length doesn't matter. Whatever band you have you can adjust to where it is best for you. It's should feel challenging but not impossible.

[@paulagabay9915]

Hi Lauren, I love that this is 30 minutes and am thinking of doing it tomorrow but not sure if it is considered strength training 2 days in a row since it has the resistance band which I love resistance bands and I did an Amrap/Cardio today with dumbells.

It would be fine Paula, go for it!

[@tracyheath6076]

oh dear Lauren, I think I am resistence band challanged. When you would say 2 more; I'd still be trying to get the resistance band back on body part its suppose to be on after retrieving it from across the room where it just flew off. My poor cat never was able to rest in peace trying to take his nap while laying on quilt on ironing board. He'd hear that band snap and lift his head to see where the band was headed. I need to wear eye protection and weightlifting gloves I think to work with these bands. Still love it though...

This looks like a great workout. Is this workout okay for us if we have osteoporosis or osteopenia? Thanks.

Thanks Judi. This workout includes movements that require rounding of the spine that many people with osteoporosis ovoid. Ultimately it depends on the severity of your condition and your doctors advice.
