Strength Training Barre Workout for Beginners & Seniors // 30 minute Full Body

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Please note around the 16 min mark I accidentally do the same side twice! Make sure you switch sides on the elbow to knee crunch exercise!

[@diannasmith4908]

Don’t worry about it Lauren I do it all the time

[@callieshores7073]

Yep - I caught and switched . Half the time I don't know my left from my right so I can only imagine what it's like to do in reverse!!!!

[@ekisegg5316]

I saw this warning last night and forgot about it. I knew something felt funny and switched right away. It was good for my brain realizing something didn’t feel right. #bilateralintegration❤ Thanks for the workout! I may try 8lbs on Thursday.

[@seren20243]

Thank you so much Lauren, ha I thought I was confused!!😊❤

[@virginiamccruden6733]

My body noticed and I automatically switched 😂xxx

[@paulagabay9915]

does anybody else appreciate how Laren doesn't put ads in her videos and responds to comments like I do.

[@SM-tq7kn]

Lauren is very motivating. Her instructions are so clear and the exercises have a superb variety. I follow the cardio on some days and strength training on others. Thank you from Mumbai, India.

Hi Lauren. I have done this one before. It is my favorite. It is just as sweaty as before if not more so. I was watching the new Barre from last week and was happy this one linked at the end as I had been looking forward to it. I always start challenges with other trainers and end up coming back to you.
