[@JaneDaniels-f4e]

Hi Lauren, it's been a whole year this month since I found your channel. In that time I have lost almost 8kg, been discharged from cardiology, and feel stronger than I have in 20 years. Thanks so much ❤❤❤

Great workouts. The first one I tried relieved my arthritis pain completely. After my last cardiology visit couple weeks ago I had a pulsating tinnitus in one ear. So, started doing these different strengthening workouts daily and the pulsating tinnitus is gone. I am 66 and feeling good 😊Thank you!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great to hear! You are most welcome and keep up the good work :)

[@patricias1925]

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Carol, so glad you are enjoying them :)

[@rosanesandberg9119]

Thank you, I am on week 8 post total right knee replacement. Used 2 lb today but have done your arm workouts for a long time. Arm strength allowed me to do a forward fold to a plank to get on the floor and back up without having to get on my knees. So much better for my back to do some of my PT exercises on the floor rather than on the bed. I feel that all your workouts I have done since I found you is helping me recover faster. 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! That’s great to hear, keep up the good work 🤩🙌🏻

[@cyndylee147]

Love the interesting moves.

Thanks Lauren! Great workout for upper body!!😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you liked it!! Thanks Gloria 🤩

[@joannekempf3350]

Tuesday/Thursday are my strength days so I did this one this morning. I generally use 5 lb weights because my shoulders tend to bother me, but I thought I’d try 8 lbs today and switch if I needed to. But I didn’t need to! Did the whole workout with the heavier weight and only started to struggle a bit with the arms at 90 degree angle and lift. Yay me!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay Joanne! That’s awesome 👏🏼

[@avm9647]

I have always found flies very hard but when you said squeeze the shoulder blades it made a big difference. Also the same with the criss cross, to squeeze and stretch the shoulder blades was a good tip in order to actually feel the stretch. It's so nice to get the little reminders😀

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Good to know! Thanks for the feedback. This is why I don't do no-talking videos, the cueing is so important for form and safety :)

[@lynettemclean5215]

Great timing Lauren. I’m watching the Olympics and comparing my arms to theirs. A lot of work needed on my part !

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

lol! Keep it up Lynette 💪🏼😁🙌🏻

[@janethurd5284]

Awesome workout! Thank you, Lauren!! Not only is this a good workout and strength training workout, the music is perfect; not too loud, not too quiet and your voice is so peaceful that it's good for my mind, body and spirit. Thank you again 💓

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Janet, thanks for your kind feedback :)

[@allichave6]

This was a great change up for me! Thanks!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! 🙌🏻

[@lindaperry4070]

I love this, I am on my 4th month 6 days a week doing cardio, yoga and weights. I’m so excited I used a 5lb on this one it was great thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome! Thank you and great job Carlene :)

[@DebbieSilvan-f1z]

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great to hear! Nice job Debbie :)

[@paulagabay9915]

My new favorite Lauren, I had weights out ranging from 5-10. I used the 10 the entire time. I followed this with a 10-minute seated stretch.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow! Great job Paula 🙌🏻

[@mary-annfondaumiere9013]

[@jacqueline6303]

Thank you, Lauren, this workout with just one heavier weight is very beneficial for me as my upper body is weaker than my lower half, so I really appreciate this strength building workout video!😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! Happy to hear it Jacqueline 👏🏼

[@ronniebegay2477]

Love, love, love this workout. So effective yet gentle. I still worked up a sweat. 😅

Great workout for a 70+ person. Thanks

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you like it! 🤩

[@nattienell]

Definitely had to switch from 10lbs to 8lbs on a few of these. Cant wait to work up to the point where I can keep 10 the whole time! Thanks for the great workout!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That’s great! 🤩🙌🏻💪🏼

[@crterwil]

His was wonderful! Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😀

[@danivandiver4831]

I love the new workouts with weights! My dumbbell was also 8 pounds and you can definitely tell the difference when switching arms. Thanks for the great videos.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! Great job 🙌🏻

[@simonap.3230]

Lauren , love to get my arms and shoulders bit more defined and to get rif of flabbiness , so thank you for these useful exercises!!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! 🙌🏻💪🏼

[@jeannet9592]

This was a really good workout. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🏻

[@awquerida7602]

I just completed this workout. I enjoy your videos so much because you give great instructions. Whenever I was getting tired you would say something that kept me motivated. My difficulty was making the transition from side to side with a heavy weight. I used 8 lbs. Going forward I will either do less reps or use a lighter weight to minimize that difficulty and maintain good form.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That sounds perfect! Great job listening to your body 🤩

[@marilainefontenot8220]

Really good workout! I'm sure I'll feel this one tomorrow.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Excellent 🤩😀🙌🏻

[@maria_chetetesmen]

Such an enjoyable workout, it was done before I knew it. And I feel pleasantly tired after finishing. Thanks for teaching us some fun new exercises I had never seen before!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You’re so welcome! Glad you like it Maria 🙌🏻

[@paolaportoghese8713]

Super powerful workout. I really liked the background music, calming empowering at the same time. Thank you Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Lauren, this was really nice. I liked that it was all-standing and engaged the core while working the arms. I loved some of the new moves like the biceps circle! And I did it all with mostly 10#, 15# for a few.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow! Nice job with the heavy weights Beth 🙌🏻

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much, I’m thrilled you love it 🤩

[@arianaarroyo9925]

I’m looking forward to trying this workout later.

[@ChantalSabourin-de9cq]

Hi Lauren, Another great one!!! I noticed a bit of confusion in directives at 4:38, "take the dumbbell in your right hand " and you took it in your left one... also at 22:21 let's drop the right hand and you do it with your left one... Thank you for everything, you're fantastic!!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I mirror you. That's how I cue so it's easier for the viewer.

[@ChantalSabourin-de9cq]

@@SeniorShapeFitness Thank you, Lauren, for your reply. I understand the mirror concept; however, I think it would be beneficial to let your viewers know to avoid confusion! Personally, I prefer that you use the same arm that you are advising viewers to use, and then that you turn sideways to demonstrate the proper form as you used to do. This method works best for me! Thank you and have a great day!

[@d-lpope5829]

Thanks Lauren for a great new workout. Totally enjoyed the weight workout with 10 lb weight. Really good balance and new ideas. Cheers

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! Great job with the 10lb 👏🏼

[@eveskirboll7301]

You are a star! I have loved every workout that I've done from your channel. You have great variety and always present novel moves. I got a really good workout and hope to increase my weight over time. I used 7.5lb because my shoulders are weak. :)

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! 7.5 is awesome, not weak at all 🤩

[@sandragoldfadim870]
