Great job Marne! Starting is the hardest part 💜

Thank you very much for a great standing Pilates workout! 😊

[@marnw2592]

Such a nice alternative when you don't feel like picking up weights. The variety on your channel is amazing.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you, I appreciate that! The variety is good for our bodies too :)

[@Va-gz9iq]

I'm 70, and just did this for the first time. One of the things I love about Lauren's workouts is that she alternates between the "tough" moves and the easier moves, so it motivates me to keep going. Thank you, Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Ha! You are on to me and my tactics :) So glad you are enjoying my workouts!!

Love your Barre Classes! You’re workout was so much fun and like my old class which I cannot attend until my wrist heels. Thank you so much for having this class available!

Thank you Ms Lauren!! I am 56 and recently retired. You have helped me gently get back into working out each day with both Pilates and Yoga...I am trying every one of your workouts, cardio too! Your demeanor is encouraging and sweet! Is is a good idea to do a different one each day or do one type back to back? Tracey❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great job Tracey! I prefer to do a different workout each day. If you would like some guidance I provide a weekly workout guide. I post suggested workouts for the week every Sunday. You can find it in the playlist section or community tab of my channel's main page.

Lauren, thank you very much. This kind of routine makes me suffer because of my excess weight and my lack of flexibility but I understand that they are necessary to be able to get in shape. I trust your guidance a lot and I am sure that I will achieve my goals with your help. A hug and have a good day.

[@tracyheath6076]

Well that answers that question, "Wondering if this workout will be enough abs" Oh yes ! Check that off for the day. Thanks for keeping us in check with the abs. So easy to (undo) the engagement. I have been working hard on not popping the lower ribs. Found that not only helps for my tummy to be more flat, but immediately helps me line up my spine from top to bottom when my sciatica is roaring and pain relief is immediate. Good Workout !!! Oh and thanks for keeping us "Honest" !

Hi, yes I have a question, I'm getting cramp in my neck, after getting out of bed in the morning. Is there an exercise that can help me? I've purchased a pillow, to see if it helps. Thanks for any advice 🙏 😊

[@paulagabay9915]

That's why I love Lauren she give us cues with a warm up and cool down and always answers our comments. So many You Tube videos these days are just music and some even say be sure to warmup so one would need to do a separate warmup which isn't appropriate for a 65 year old like me with Arthritis.

I have just discovered you snd am so pleased. These videos are perfect for me. I am 81 years old. I walk regularly, but the rest of my muscles are quite stiff!

Wonderful Duffy! The way you use my workouts is entirely up to you and what your body needs. I post a weekly workout plan on Sunday mornings for those that enjoy a variety of workouts such as cardio, weights and stretching such as pilates. Here is the link to this week's plan: kzbin.info/aero/PLdAl5SsVkdod3SaMHjOdbtsr2KqxsYlcK I think you may just find your favorites and do those as you wish. I personally like to mix routines up :)
