Stretching Exercises for Mobility & Flexibility & Posture

[@CARichards1978]

I cannot tell you the difference your workouts have made for me. After one of your strength and mobility workouts yesterday I knew today needed to be a stretch day and I was so excited to see this one pop up this morning. It is exactly what I needed! I love everything about your workouts; the pacing, the variety, the explanations…Having committed to moving my body at least 30 minutes a day since May, at 68 I think I am in the best shape ever because I look forward to your workouts! I know that you will always have something that fits my needs for the day. I have longevity in my family and now is the time to get strong so that I am not confined to a bed or recliner like my 98 year old mom. Thank you a million times!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Good for you Christianne!!!! Love that you are moving your body at least 30 minutes a day, keep up the amazing work and thank you for your kind words :)

[@janismorganmcdonald5862]

After doing one of your strength workouts yesterday, this stretch workout was amazing. Thank you! My body feels awesome and ready to tackle the day!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Love that Dina! Have an awesome day ;)

[@TheNancyReynolds]

I love workouts like these that I can safely do immediately after getting out of bed. That's the only time I have for exercise, and I don't want to do more active workouts that early...too much risk of injury to sleepy muscles. Thank you for this! 💖

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure! Glad to hear it's a good workout for you :)

[@eileenbowen4330]

Very good!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you think so! Thanks Eileen :)

[@martinbrown7903]

Lauren. Challenging stretches for a 75 year old Englishman but I needed this after many days of absence. Loved the music too which soothes the mind. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're welcome Martin. Great job doing something that is so good for your body :)

[@anitaboone3012]

Wonderful stretching! Completed everything to the end! Of course not to full amplitude, but maximum for me. Loved it! Thank you very much, Lauren!❤😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great job "doing you"!!!

[@mariolabanas56]

Just for me. Thank you

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're welcome 😊

[@SueKusch]

This was great! I need daily stretching and when I do it on my own, I rush through it. I plan to add this and any others as part of my evening routine.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Me too Sue! It's good to take the time for a longer one like this at least once a week. My bedtime stretches are good when you are short on time :)

[@joannekempf3350]

Oh this was perfect. Suffered with vague back pain all day yesterday and through the night. Did these stretches this morning, and I feel much much better! And I surprised myself with how flexible I really am!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! Great to hear Joanne :)

[@britneystarr587]

I’m 38 and I just want to tell you how much your videos have helped me over the last few months. I found you while looking for a workout that wouldn’t bother my joints and I’ve gotten so much stronger without hurting myself and I feel better than I have in a long time. I recommend your videos to people my age all the time and the name of your channel kinda makes some of them look at me weird but I think your videos are perfect for everyone! Anyway, thank you ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That is awesome Britney! So great to hear my workouts have been helpful. I agree my workouts are for everyone! 🤩🙌🏻

That was a great stretch felt really good afterwards. Thank you A from Hastings UK

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! Love that you felt good Anita :)

[@paulagabay9915]

Good morning Lauren, I was going to save this one for Sunday, which is my rest day, but after working in the yard,washing the kitchen floor and doing weights and cardio, my hamstrings told me to do it now. Definitely have imbalances, and your way of going into pigeon works much better than other trainers have shown going into it from downward dogs. Have a nice day.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Good job Paula, that sounds like a lot!

[@lydiathornton5323]

Your instruction in this video is PERFECTION, Lauren!!! I especially love the multi-step progression into pigeon!! THANK YOU!!! ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad! Thanks for your kind feedback Lydia :)

[@lydiathornton5323]

You're so welcome!!! 🥰🙂​@@SeniorShapeFitness

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Love that Tara! You and your son are most welcome :)

[@paulagabay9915]

I am so sore so I knew this was going to be a great one to come back too. Not only do the stretches feel good but I found myself closing my eyes and feeling relaxed. Enjoy your Sunday.

Just did this in my hotel room after a 7 hour drive in bad traffic. Thank you Lauren! My body felt like a pretzel (in a bad way) before and now it feels mobile again. Your workouts are simply the best for any age but have been a game changer for my 68 year old body.

[@helena51troy]

I have done and continue to do your workouts every week as part of my core exercise program. I really like this one and found a few places that need a little more attention, even though I am a fitness pro and do a lot of exercise. I love it when that happens. Discovery. The music is also very soothing. Thanks for so much variety.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Helena. Your comments are meaningful especially coming from another fitness professional :)

[@wolfgangballe]

Thank you so much for this super stretchy session. I am a 75 year old senior male and have been following your cardio and strenght sessions for some time and enjoying every minute. You are truly a role model for us seniors to help us live a healthier life and keep us flexible and strong. Thanks for all you do. Very inspiring

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I think you are inspiring for doing this workout :) Keep up the great work!

After a 4 hour pickleball tournament yesterday, I started my week off with this video. Just what the doctor ordered 🥰 This is a perfect stretch workout! This sparked an idea of maybe doing a workout designed for pickleball palyers. Thanks Lauren! So appreciate YOU!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! That's great to hear Catherine :)

[@jenr3593]

I have been a yoga practitioner since my teen years, now 71. However, in the last 3 1/2 years a knee replacement and shoulder replacement have made many conventional yoga poses unattainable for me, especially until healing was complete. I still keep up with flexibility but do miss some of the more advanced stretches. I was feeling very stiff today after a COVID booster yesterday so decided to try this one. It is a new favorite! With extra padding under my knees I was able to do the all fours poses (one knee on the floor lunges are still a problem!) and I really enjoyed the hip mobility work. Luckily muscle memory lasts a long time. Thank you for giving us this lovely workout.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad to hear it's a good stretching workout for you Jen! Love that muscle memory, keep up the great work :)

[@jacquichesky967]

That felt so good, I didn't want the practice to end❤

This workout was really nice. My favourite is thread the needle, I could have stayed in that pose (both sides) for the entire workout. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad you enjoyed it Simone and thanks for your positive feedback :)

[@LifeisstrangeDitto]

Really excited to try this one out!! All your workouts are extremely great and your stretching videos have taught me a lot about stretching and the importance of it! Stretching was overwhelming to me in the past because I didn’t know to do it effectively, sometimes I wouldn’t even stretch after workouts 😣! Your KZbin channel has changed my life for the better, so glad I found it! Thank you for all you do!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so kind! Thank you very much :)

[@carmengao5970]
