Yoga Stability Ball Workout // Gentle Seated Toning Exercises for Seniors & Beginners

[@kristinerikkola9856]

This is an awesome workout! Your music is so soothing and the stretches are fabulous. A wonderful start to my morning before work. Thank you Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I'm thrilled you thought it was awesome Kristine. Thank you :)

[@suealgy]

I have had my ball for many years, and I really enjoyed learning new skills with it. Especially the Warrior sequence. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I love to hear that Sue! 💜

[@FatboyFatboy-y2h]

The focus on hips and lower back is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for sharing these gentle exercises.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

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

[@cathysanford8051]

Lauren, I've done almost all of your classes and hands down, this is my very favorite. Though entitled gentle, I received an extensive workout for this 70-year old body. Please consider more like this; it was also a soothing class! Thank you so much.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you Cathy. Your comment makes me feel better. This video performed horribly from the start, so it hardly gets any views. I really like it and put a lot of thought into it too! Sometimes the KZbin algorithm is a little bonkers!

[@christinaedwards356]

Enjoyed this! A quick workout for stretch, balance and toning.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Christina :)

[@stacischeetz7597]

I forgot about this one! I LOVE it! I feel so good after and ready to greet my day!!

I love this workout ❤. I can feel myself getting much more flexible and I don't have as much knee pain since starting your workouts, so glad I found you on this app. Thank you so much Lauren 😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Lovely to hear Jane. You are most welcome :)

[@anitamartin6588]

After 2 weeks with company in the house with 3 young grandchildren this was so what I needed this morning. Lovely music and great, relaxing stretches. I feel renewed and relaxed. Thank you, Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow Anita! You may need more than a workout to recover from company for two weeks! That's a lot! Hope you enjoyed your grandchildren :)

[@stacischeetz7597]

What a marvelous video! Might be my favorite so far! Thank you for thinking of every body.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow, thank you Staci!!!

I too have had a stability ball for many years and did use it when I could find workouts on youtube. Sooo glad I have found your channel and that you have many different exercise routines including stability ball. Everyday is a new adventure with you and I thank you very much. Thank you Moe (Maureen)

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! Love that Moe 🤩

[@Sheba-us7og]

Love this workout! Your instructions easy to follow. Only recently commenced yoga and finding it very relaxing and really proud of me! I've had my ball for a while collecting dust, now using for many different exercises and stretches. Thanks Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I'm proud of you too :)

[@whitneylee4651]

thank you for taking your time out i had a break in my spine three years ago from jumping off a Bridge in a popular diving area that ended up being too shallow!!! I hit my right leg on the bottom of the lakes floor at about 20 ft. The injury really set me back its a learning process as well as the brain readjusting to the spines break. I ended up at a local chiropractor who did an amazing job and he always recommended Yoga as I am banded from the gym due to orders from the professionals. I feel very optimistic about my future dates with the gym, but for now this work out you presented to me is a miracle and makes me want to go revisit my chiropractor and tell him he was right. I have grown within this injury in so many positive ways and although the world is going to work against me for the rest of my life I do have a choice!!! Thank you for the beginning of a new journey for me I am so enlightened. !!!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I'm so glad it is helpful to you Whitney! Best of luck in your continued recovery :)

[@whitneylee4651]

Thank you so much for this I broke my spine three years ago the lumbar region so its been a slow recovery, but you do a great job this is part of my routine and is preparing me to get back into the gym! Thank You

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I'm so glad it's helpful Whitney!

[@stacischeetz7597]

Wow! After yesterday's Pilates with Weights, this feels especially terrific! I have a lot of fun things to do today and this makes me feel ready to go! Yoga is fantastic! PS: My legs aren't sore today! I can't believe it! Strong for spring!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! You are getting stronger Staci! Enjoy your fun day :)

Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it Kelly. Happy Monday 🤩

[@samanthakayes3061]

This workout is great, especially if you just need that little bit more to challenge your stability and core without too many situps and giving you a good stretch at the same time I loved it. Thanks ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Samantha! Thank you so much, I'm thrilled you love it :)

You've made another great video Lauren! Thank you for all that you are doing to keep people healthy.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Felicia, I'm excited you thought it was great!

[@jeepersandrandy]

This was a great workout that challenged my balance especially with the warrior poses but I haven't used my ball in a long while and I think I need to add more air as my grandchildren have been playing with it for some time. I loved the stretches at the end. I followed with your gentle stretches for back pain relief which felt wonderful!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad it was a good workout for you. Check your ball sizing too. If it is too big I can understand it causing a balance challenge. Letting out air or adding air will allow for a few inches either bigger or smaller. Ideally, you want a 90 degree angle from your hips and a 90 degree angle from your knees

[@elizabethhall7953]

I’m starting to add your classes to my list. I like them when I’ve done a mean hike or jumped around getting my steps. I also like that you do seated or standing classes. I can’t see the darn action if it’s on the floor! I prop my ipad up on an old music stand and it’s perfect. I also like your explanations. Thank you very much.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Elizabeth! You are most welcome 💜

[@barbararick8449]

I would like to see a new yoga on the stability ball video. I love this one and would like to see more.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I'm thrilled you love it Sharon! I'm filming a new chair yoga today, but I probably won't do another on the stability ball. This video just didn't perform ;( Perhaps with some modifications you could do the other chair yoga routines on the ball ?!?!

[@lauragovernali4332]

Thanks Lauren! Some great new moves for the ball! And love the ball cover! I'm ordering one! 💕💕

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! Thank you! You will love it Laura. It doesn't make your butt sweaty and is sturdier!

[@paulagabay9915]

Hi Lauren, I was wondering your thoughts on using a yoga chair ball for chair workouts. A friend suggested using one, but I think I am better off saving my money and using my kitchen chair as I have been doing as I think it would be more stable for me having bad Arthritis and Sciatica thanks.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Hi Paula. I have had several viewers say that they do the chair workout on a ball. I appreciate their creativity, however, they were not designed to do most of the moves on a ball and you would therefore have to modify many of the exercises. I say save your money so you also don't have to worry about falling off or making modifications :)

[@joannesache]

Oh my my - let me try to share shortly, lol - I am 65, and I have had 6 surgeries on my feet back in 2015 and went from of course having to ONLY sit for many years, then learning to stand, walk, etc. but up until today I have NOT been able to figure out what I could do that maybe may help me and I remembered I had one of these balls in the basement for years and never used it, lol - So late last night I thought let me see and I did not finish the entire video but came very close and it just made me feel so good. I will look for all your video's and I will do whatever I can to promote you! I was a flight attendant and know "many" people and even the senior centers should know about this. Anyway, just know if I can help you in any way, I'd do it. Now I do wonder though will this type of workout help with weight loss too? I put on some weight just sitting and need to toss out 20 lbs, lol - I guess because I was able to do it, I felt it may not do much but then again I honestly don't know anything about the ball nor yoga - I'd love for you to share back with me - Big Greek HUGS!!!! Yana (Joanne is just my american version of my name, lol)

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Yana! I'm so glad that you found my video and enjoyed it. I'm so proud of you for getting started again, please keep it up, and yes, you can definitely lose weight. Happy to have you working out with me :)

@@SeniorShapeFitness it was my first session but it's exactly what I was looking for and will be back for others. Brava!

[@SallyLederer]

I enjoyed using my stability ball again. But I had to laugh when you started rolling down and resting your shoulders on the ball!! I'm 80! I would definitely end up in ER if I tried that. But the yoga stretches are really good and you are so beautiful to watch. I just pretend I'm looking in the mirror as I follow. LOL

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so sweet Sally 🤩

[@anamariamello2654]

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

wonderful! Thank you Ana :)

[@joannekempf3350]

I would love to try this one but although I purchased a ball based on my height I feel it’s too small. The ball is as inflated as it can be but when I sit on it my hips are much lower than my knees and it’s very uncomfortable. So disappointed. ☹️

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

If the ball is brand new sometimes it need to stretch out a bit, then it can be blown up more. Try to give it more air again. But only do the workout if your comfortable. As you said, if your hips are too low it’s not great.

[@rabina1100]

❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks :)

[@vickibahls7587]

seems like this should be great stretch, but pulls way too much on hips

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes, it's designed to be both strengthening and stretching for the hips. Make them feel great! If it's uncomfortable for you Vicki, I would just keep the movements small.
