Energizing Cardio Workout for Beginners & Seniors // Pilates Inspired Low Impact Exercises

[@karlamoran787]

It’s funny how I always think with cardio, that you have to be moving fast or running etc., and it’s amazing how quickly your heart rate raises, with the slow controlled movements! Loved this workout Lauren!! Lots of different moves, really testing the muscles! Thank you for your creative ability, in putting these workouts together! Have a great day!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

yay! I'm thrilled you loved it and got a good workout Karla! I hope you have a great day as well :)

[@reneandbrendavanvreeswyk7607]

[@jeannettechiappone3887]

OMG, Lauren!!! This is definitely my new favorite! Just scrumptious! I just LOVED the flow & the graceful movements. What a beautiful way to get cardio & balance together! Nectar for both body & soul!

This was a deceptive workout. It looked easy until I did it. It challenged all of the muscles in my body with lots of balance included. I really felt my arms being worked as well as my legs, glutes, abs, etc. Thanks for a very different but very effective wonderful workout that got my heartrate up, a sweat on and worked all of my muscles without having to jump around like a crazy person, Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Excellent! So glad you tried it and like it!!!
