Stability Ball Exercises for Seniors & Beginners // Fun Workout with Dumbbells

[@Madonna44888]

Hi Lauren thanks for this FUN workout, I really enjoyed it, though I did raise a sweat Im 62yrs! Thank you for taking the time and energy that goes into each workout! Use on daily basis, always something different along with going for a walk. You have a lovely calming voice and I've noticed that in many of your videos, always feels like you are talking directly to me, providing motivation & inspiration., this is priceless!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much, that is so nice of you to say! Keep up the great work, I love that you exercise in different ways with walking :)

[@susannadanner906]

Great workout! I´m a 21 year old beginner and it was perfect for me, much respect to the seniors who can follow this!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Susanna! I'm glad its a great workout for you :)

[@georgiebears]

Great workout, I am a 53 year old with Ankylosing Spondylitis and it helps a great deal! Thank you for doing these videos, it has really got me moving after a couple of years of not being able too ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great to hear Georgina! You are most welcome :)

[@jaynenoto1290]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I'm 83 and your videos are safe and fun!

I love this one! I used 5 lb weights today and my arms were proud!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Woo hoo! I'm proud too :)

[@nathaliea.616]

I was in PT recently and loved the Ball workouts so much that I bought one but then didn't know what else to do with it.. now that I found your channel, I'm glad I can use it with your workouts...! Thank you! 🤩

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great to hear! You’re so welcome 🤩

[@GailMatthews-o1g]

Finally I can use my exercise ball! I've had one for years, but never really had any instructions on what kind of exercises to do. I can now my grandkids "it's not a toy" (lol).

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Ha ha great!!! I hope you have fun with the ball so it can be “grandma’s toy” 🤩

[@gaymarglin9071]

Love this one, I would like another ball and dumbbell routine!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad you love it! Here is a link to another one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYK0eWejh6dgjMU

[@rosealenius-spencer4823]

Oh my gosh I loved this so much. I’m almost 66 and a couple of these exercises took me back to my childhood!!! Remember hoppity-hops? Lol. And the inner thigh squeezes….yep, same muscles when posting on a horse! Thanks Lauren. We need to tap into our hidden child from time to time! ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I love your comment Rose! So glad you had fun :)

This is WONDERFUL for my arthritis. Thank you so much for creating it.🤗

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure, so glad you liked it!

[@tinadoyle1739]

Loved working with the stability ball - can we have more workouts using it please? Thanks!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Hi Tina, Thanks! and yes, I have another stability ball workout on my to do list!

[@irasandhu1555]

Can we have more fitball with weights workouts? So love them.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

sorry Ira, probably not for a while. The last few have not performed well on my channel :(

[@mindquestglobal]

@@SeniorShapeFitness I think that's because most people don't know it is so much fun. I attended the fitball classes in Europe and loved them so I searched for fitball. I think it is just a matter of more marketing. I'll share this one!

[@jeepersandrandy]

This was a fun, but somewhat challenging workout. I loved the bouncing part (felt like a kid)! My grandkids used to play with my stability ball and it had lost some air, so I pumped it up and it works better. Now it's Nana's ball again! I will be doing this one as well as your other stability ball workouts to challenge my balance more, Lauren! I followed with your Relaxing Routine for Bedtime or Anytime Stretch!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Combo and I love that Nana got her ball back!!

[@jeepersandrandy]

Thanks Lauren! Me too, I love my ball now!@@SeniorShapeFitness

Thanks!

Thank you very much for supporting my channel! Your support is greatly appreciated :)

They are far the best workouts with ball I've seen on KZbin! Thank you for sharing them with us💖

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you like them! Thanks Laura 🤩

[@serenity8876]

Thank you, than you, at last a ball exercise where I don't have to get onto the floor (which I can't). You are brilliant.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤩

[@melanieseal2779]

Thank you for a great, gentle workout! I'm recovering from a broken foot and sprained ankle. I haven't been able to do my normal workouts which are mostly standing. I'm so happy I found this ! Very little weight bearing on my healing ankle/foot! Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Melanie 🙌🏻

[@clare9637]

I loved this. I've got a UTI so I wanted something that would work everything but leave me enough energy to get on with my day. Thank you Lauren

When I first got my stability ball, I thought "this is actually fun!" After this workout, whew! This one was tough. I hung in there to the end, but I have to admit to resting after a few of the reps. But! I refuse to quit.

[@laurairish1171]

Enjoy these series of.workout. many i can do, some challenging, which is also good. What size is the ball please.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Hi Jackie, good to hear you got a good workout! My ball is 65cm. You want the correct size ball based on your hight. this size is good for people 5'6-5'11, though if you are shorter but have longer legs it could work too. Here is a link: amzn.to/3ntr8cc

Love love this workout...can you tell me what us the best stability ball brand and size to purchase . I am 5'5"...

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Carol! If you look in the description of the video there is a link to my Amazon page. My viewers get 10% off the balls by ProBody Pilates. You would want a 55in ball.

[@kathyharding2077]

Liking the ball videos, especially the hip circlespart, so I think you should add some belly dance fitness...what do you say?! Could be very entertaining...for me....watching myself attempt it!

I love it Kathy 🤣

Deceptively effective and not as easy as looks!You always seem to know when we are struggling and forgetting to breathe😂

I love ball workouts, this one included. It woukd be great if you could do some more full body workouts on the ball. Keep up the great work!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Carol!

[@jlemmink]

Can you recommend a stability ball? I love doing things with balls. So much fun.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

At this time I don’t have a specific brand that I recommend, I find them all to be fairly similar. Pay attention to the size though! I’m guessing you will need a 65 inch. If I remember correctly you said you were tall.

[@jlemmink]

@@SeniorShapeFitness Yes, 5' 9in. Thanks!

[@vibrantly50]

Loved this workout! I think my ball is slightly smaller than yours…but, it was fine.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Jody! 🤩

[@doraslearning]

what do you have under the ball to keep it from rolling from under you what size of ball for senior beginners ?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Hi Dora. I’m not using anything under the ball, but there are balls that come with rings to put under it so it doesn’t roll. Here is a link to some equipment. You can use code FITSHAPE to get 10% off equipment by ProBody. This one comes with a 65cm ball which is appropriate for most people. a.co/hkfQI6I

[@nakayak2357]

I got my stability ball from a friend. How do I blow it up?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Depends on the ball. Usually a bike pump with a needle works.

[@susiemaclellan5294]

😅I found balancing the ball in place difficult. Kept slipping out! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

It may be too big. Try letting a little air out and that may help keep it in place.

[@richardmiller5818]

Awsoome

[@shirleymiller8011]

What size ball should I buy? I am 5'9"

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Me too Shirley. A 65 or a medium is great for your height.

65cm usually labeled as a medium

[@LM-wo7qy]

good workout however I would caution about the OUCH. If your body says ouch, don't do it! I hurt myself in yoga with Jane Fonda, many years ago, "feel the burn" (which Jane says she now regrets!) and suffered chronic pain for 20 years, with many other consequences. Please caution people about taking it easy.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks for the feedback. I feel that it's fairly obvious that I'm not in pain or promoting viewers to be in pain. In most of my videos I'm constantly saying: "start slow, you do you, and that exercises should never be painful". I apologize if this "ouch" came off in the wrong way. I'm simply sympathizing with my viewers in a way that's saying "hey, I feel this too".

[@mysticalwonderland8479]

I found most of this easy until the arm weights !?! WTH?? And I’ve been working out again for 10 months. Can seniors really do these?? 😂😂😂

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Maybe use lighter weights next time?
