Stability Ball Workout for Beginners & Seniors // Fun Exercises for Full Body Toning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- 25 minute full body toning workout. This Stability ball workout is great for seniors and beginners.
The exercises incorporated into this workout have a pilates base that is perfect for strengthening and lengthening your body. This video is at a perfect pace to keep your heart rate elevated, but allows you time to get comfortable in each position. The exercise ball is fun to work with and challenges your core to stay balanced and keeps your muscles activated! Make sure you keep your tummy pulled in so you protect your lower back. You will feel great after this workout!
Make sure you have an appropriate size ball to work with. If your ball is too big or if it is inflated too much it will be very difficult to grip with your legs.
I also recommend wearing shoes to help grip the ball. Finally, make sure you have some padding like a rug or yoga mat under you. There is a section where we are on our knees and you need to have some padding or cushion so you are comfortable.
I hope you love this video, I thought it was a lot of fun!

Thank you so much for creating this wonderful workout. I have owned a Stability Ball for years. Thank you for making this new again. I wish it was a longer workout, that's how much I enjoy this type of workout. It is great for a lively 63 year old senior and puts no pressure on the joints. I hope you will create another one!
That makes me so happy Beverly! Thanks for the great feedback. I do have this other stability ball workout. It’s totally different though. It uses the ball for seated cardio and weights. Check it out if you haven’t already!

No joint issues but the ball workout here is fantastic! I used to do many of the exercises in PT - love this workout
Pilates for seniors
Goodness, I am super grateful for this wonderful workout. I am 64, and have joint issues. This video is making it possible for me to move my body again! You are an angel on earth!
Wonderful! Thank you so much, I'm thrilled it's a good workout for you :)
Can't thank you enough I have been suffering Trochanteric bursitis for months and just getting up and down the stairs was a challenge. I got very little sleep and was actually very distressed and my mental health was suffering. 10 days of Lauren's program has turned my life around. I am not completely pain free but so much better than I was and look forward to improving as time goes on. I feel lifted from the darkness. I feel Lauren is a friend that's helped me through and I am so grateful. No drugs just care xx
That's amazing Janet! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm thrilled to know that you are feeling better both physically and mentally. I couldn't agree more, movement is the key!
Excellent! Loved this!
Finally I find workouts I can do. I noticed after the first session that the routine was perfect for my abilities as I have fibromyalgia. The tutor was lovely. Can't wait for more.
Wonderful Julia! I'm so glad it's a good workout for you :)
I have cfs and fibromyalgia and this is one of the only workouts I can do without having to make adjustments. Thank you.
Just saw your video. I am 76 and workout 3 days at the gym with weights, resistance machines and the track. I have always been afraid of that big ball - you know i was sure i would just roll right off. With back pain i cant do floor exercises but seeing your video changed all that. Now i can do all my favorite calistenics and stretches without struggling to get down or up from the floor. Thanks for the informative and creative ball lessons.
wow! That's great to hear Joey! Keep up the great work, sounds like you have a great program :)
Me tooo❣️I didn’t know what to do with the big ball at the gym❣️I’m taking you with me when I go tomorrow❣️Thank you so much❣️
I can finish this thanksss
Perfect workout for an out-of-shape senior! Thanks so much!
You're so welcome! Glad you like it Leah :)
Im 60, started a new job 2 years ago, completely sitting for 40 plus hours on the computer. All my muscle turned to flab and im losing muscle tone too. Ive been working out to your stability ball exercises for seniors for 3 months and i love it. I try to work out at least 3 times a week and i always do plenty of walking, however,. I also cut out added sugars, milk, alcohol and excessive smoking 😅 from stress. I think i will be ready this summer for that modess biki 😅
Wow! Good for you! Thanks for working out with me and keep up the great work :)
I am 62. Male. I just got my ball and today my first exercise with you. Thanks for teaching. I will do it more often
Wonderful! I appreciate you working out with me :)
@@SeniorShapeFitness BTW i am from Sabah Malaysia
Tried this today. Recovering from hip replacement. This was fantastic. Thank you!
Wonderful! I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks Merja :)
I will say it again. It's a revelation! I am so enjoying the stability ball workouts! Back in the day when I used to go to classes, our instructor had to bring all her equipment, so we never got to use the stability ball. I have been cycling through the five you have if you ever need an idea for a new workout. I would love to see another stability ball one.
Thanks Karyn! I’m not sure if I’ll do another stability ball workout, but you never know ☺️
I am 67 and have been doing your workouts for sometime. I so enjoy how good I feel doing these. At no time do i feel uneasy doing these moves. I love the stability ball as it allows me to have something to support me while adding strength. Thank you.
Wonderful! Thanks Christine 🤩
Love the stability ball workout! Adore you!
Yay! Thank you Patti! You're so sweet!
I can’t get enough of your exercises. I don’t feel like I am working out but having fun. But my body feels it next day or 2. I don’t have to watch the clock when I exercise anymore because time just flies by. Thank you, Lauren!!
This is so nice to hear! I appreciate your kind comments and I'm thrilled that you are getting good workouts!!!
I was curious do you know about how many calories this exercise would burn?
I love EVERYTHING you do…thank you soooo much !
Thanks Maria!!
I’m eight years old this was really hard thank you for for posting this video it was awesome
Thanks Lauren. Enjoyed it. Made use of the neglected ball. Thanks
Fantastic! I love it when people are inspired to break out their old equipment 🤩
I bought my ball 2 years ago and let it away in my room's corner. I am getting my 60s. Today is the second workout day with you. After so many years that I haven't done any type of workout, I feel optimist, in a great state, self-confident and I would like to thank you so much for your kindness, your soft voice and your brilliant program! Many many thanks Lauren! A great hug!
Thank YOU Maria! I'm thrilled that you found my channel and are enjoying the workouts. Keep up the great work!
Thanks to you, Lauren, I love my stability ball again! Can’t wait to try the rest of the videos! Great addition to a strength workout! You are the best!! ❤❤
Wonderful! Glad you dusted of the ball Jackie :)
Did this as my first ever ball workout at the gym and did not fall on my face. I feel like it was effective without hurting my back and knees. Thumbs up!
Yay! I'm so happy to hear that. I appreciate you working out with me :)
This is my first time using the ball and I loved it. It’s going to be THE workout for everyday. Tks very much Lauren.
Yay! You are most welcome Maria 💜
Lauren I just found you and am so grateful! Know that you were an angel for me today! 🙏
Yay Maggie! I’m so happy you found me too! 😇
My physique is so good now thanks to doing this every morning.
Many thanks Lauren for making me more self-confident X
You're so welcome! That’s great Shelby 💜
Thank you Lauren. I’m in my 50’s, always had been fit, but had multiple orthopedic surgeries last year and hadn’t recovered well. As a result, I hadn’t worked out at the gym properly last 2 years and gain 10lb, but your workout was easy on my joints and it encouraged me to get back into the healthier lifestyle again. THANK YOU!
Wonderful! You are most welcome. Keep up the great work :)
Sunday 12/10 Today was my 1st time using a Stability Ball and doing a workout w/it. Loved your program. Hoping to do more of your programs!!!
Wonderful! Thanks for working out with me Benita :)
Wonderful video using the stability ball a real workout!

This was one of the hard ones! I have been working out with you since March. And I feel much stronger! I bought a stability ball a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't know how much we could do with them. So many muscles working at the same time! Simply amazing! Thank you so much for your work!
Wonderful! You are most welcome and thanks for your kind words. Keep up the amazing work 🤩🙌🏻
Great workout! Thanks a lot! What a muscle relief after a long working day! 🙏😇😇 love the flow of the video!
Thank you! So glad you like it 🤩
Love this stability wall workout! It's a nice change. I know not everyone has a stability ball but I'd love more of these workouts. Great challenge for the core. Thank you, Lauren!
I'm so glad you love it Debra! Here is the playlist with all my stability ball workouts: ruclips.net/p/PLdAl5SsVkdocbUBzgSLd8kH7yXwN_A6hl
I dusted off my stability ball after searching for a video using it. Whew! The first couple of core moves told me I need more core work. I watched your q & A and discovered I can create my own weekly playlist so I will doing that this weekend. I love all of the diversity you offer.
great Sue! I'm glad that you did that ;)
I have not done a workout with the big ball for a long time so I thank you so much for making this available. I liked it.
Glad you liked it! Thank you Nina :)
I’m 26 and very new to an exercise ball and this was awesome, quite challenging!!! Thank you!!
You're so welcome! Glad you like it Elaina :)
Yowzzzzaaa. That was great! I actually found the first section working the legs with the ball lying down to be quite tough … and I loved it! Thank you
Getting ready for ski season.
It is tough! Great job Mary, You'll be ready to hit the slopes in no time :)
It's my first time to work out with you using a stability ball lady❤,I have enjoyed and benefited from your video
Great! Thanks for working out with me! 🤩
I can feel the love here! Many of your workouts helped me to recover from my full hysterectomy. Today I am 3-month post-surgery and feeling stronger than ever.
Wonderful! Good for you :)
Needed to dust off my stability ball and I'm glad I did. Thanks for some of the new moves for me.
Great! I'm so glad you tried it and liked it Kathy, Thank you ;)
I really like the Pilates core workout with the big ball. I’ve done the two you have. Can we please have some more? I turned 69 this year and I’m determined to keep my core strong. I feel so good after the exercise. It’s challenging no matter how many times I do it. Thank you.
Love that you feel good Geri! Here is the link to all 6 of my workouts with the big ball: Stability Ball Workouts

Such lovely workout. Not a senior here but I need to work my core more and this is a lovely way to reengage my core. Thank you.
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you think it's lovely :)
FUN workout! Was discouraged after walking my dog since I have to walk SO slowly with 'ungood' knee but after doing this stability ball workout and no real difficulty, except moving from floor to ball or changing ball positions, I feel like a 'productive human being' once again! :-) I wish family could DO these workouts with me and STOP seeing me as an 'old disabled lady' .....because I'm NOT! Thanks for these great and fun workouts!!
You are most welcome! And you are definitely not disabled if you can do this workout’ good for you 💜
Mid morning up from the desk to workout- most trainers are great in one area and ok in others, you are great in everything, Im so impressed with your strength and grace❤.
You are so kind, thank you 🤩
Thank you for giving me exercises that does not hurt my body and which allows me to get a workout despite my bad knees. I really loved it ❤
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you love it :)
Thank you for new moves for seniors! I don’t think seniors ever thought of this especially on a ball!
I work with some “SilverSneakers” seniors that are pretty aggressive. This works well for new material! Thanks💕
I'm happy it's helpful Carolyn!
I just started working out again after many years of being too sedentary in a desk job. I’m almost 55 years old and I real love this ball workout I just purchased two different sized balls to get the best workout that I can. I’m 5 feet 10 inches tall so I needed to figure out which ball would work best. Thank you so much for the great movement I just loved it!!
I'm so glad! tip: I've found that I can change the size of the ball by a few inches just by letting air in/out. Especially when the ball is new it needs to stretch out a bit before it can be blown up to its full size.
Awesome workout thank you. Not too many stability ball workouts out there and this one was perfect. Loving your channel and workouts and the fact that your workouts are so varied using different equipment. Thank you Moe
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts Moe :)
This is an excellent routine for back injuries! It helps me recover and I am not senior yet. I took it very easy in the begining... Two weeks in now, I am getting stronger slowly and no reinjury yet! Thank you so much!
I love to hear that Katalin! That’s great you are getting stronger 😍
👏🏻😃Love these exercises. Thank you!
So glad! My pleasure :)
I love these pilates ball core exercises
Thanks so much Gabriela :)
Pilates ball core exercises 👍🏻
You make it all feel easy and calm. I have the ball but felt afraid of using it. I @m a senior (68 ) Hope I can try later. I will let you know. Thanks again!
Go for it! Don't be afraid of using the ball, just do what you can.
Super effective exercises on the stability ball. I haven't used mine in ages so great workout to start me off again. I'll have to look for more as it's a great piece of equipment for core workouts. 👏 😊
It is! I have a few more resistance ball workout for you to enjoy as well :)
@SeniorShapeFitness I'll have to search them out 😁. I really enjoy using my stability ball 👍🏼✅
I have never used a stability ball other than teaching my border collies to push it HA! So at least I already had some. That was fun but DEFINITELY the hardest one I have done of yours. Nice job! Way to keep things interesting, challenging and fun .
I'm glad you tried it Sharon! The ball definitely challenges the muscles in a different way :)
O my God , really sooo good you teach lots of exercise , I am 64 years , I feel good one or two I can't do but very good thank you
Great! So glad you liked it 💜
I'm a golfer, 12 handicap and I walk 18 holes. I've been doing the ball exercises as I see what I think helps my swing. I really like your stretches and exercises. I'm including them and just want to say I'm also 63 years old and loving your routine. I recommend it to anyone. Even you young ones!!
Excellent! That’s great to hear that the workouts are helping your swing and making you feel good. I appreciate you sharing my channel and I love hearing about your improvements. Thanks so much! 💜
Excellent workout using the ball. I was just about to give it away!
So glad you like it Syliva! I have a few more workouts with the stability ball so don't give it away just yet :)
I loved this workout, fun and challenging! Thanks Lauren🤗
Awesome! Thanks so much Barbara 💜
Thank you! Watching here from Colombia
Wonderful! Thank you Shadia :)
Ok wow this is the best ball exercise video for me. Hit all the spot I’ve been trying to do with a ball. Thanks
Awesome! thanks Arida :)
Lovely gentle work-out for this 69 year-old while using all the muscles.
Thanks, Justine
My pleasure Justine. I'm so glad you liked it, thanks for working out with me! I have another pilates stability ball workout too. Check it out, I think you will like it!
Dear Lauren, the setup of your area is so calming with good sound and lighting which is so important! It was good to follow for a 67 year old. I enjoyed it. Thank you so much, you have a new subscriber here!
Oh thank you so much Fonny, I really appreciate that! So glad you are enjoying my videos (and all the details that goes into them)!
I am really enjoying your classes especially the ability ball classes. I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis-60:years old due to a condition I have had the past 3 years which affected m bones. I have need to modify my workouts. I would love a ball class on just back stretches if you have it and other exercises for opening up the postural muscles. Thanks
Thank you Anne Marie! I'm so glad you are enjoying my workouts :) Here is the the link to my videos that are osteoporosis friendly: ruclips.net/p/PLdAl5SsVkdodnQgh9DSmuuIM2S_labr4K
Loved this workout. I’ve been wanting to use my stability ball and this is just right. I’m 52 and your routines are wonderful and at an appropriate speed so I don’t get lightheaded. I’ve been focusing on the ones with weights as well. Great challenges and ways to build more strength.Thank you so much.
I’m so happy to hear that Joy! Thank you 💜
I’ve decided to take care of myself, and start a workout. Bought a stability ball, and searched for a beginners exercise, and your video came up! First time doing it, it was pretty hard. But I’m gonna be coming back here again 😊 thank you 🙏 for your video.
That’s great! Getting started is the hardest part! 🙌🏻
Has it helped you
What a wonderful thorough beautifully paced worked . Your voice is just perfect as well . Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
I appreciate that Lisa, thank you!
Fabulous workout 🏋️♀️ thanks! First time using a ball at my seniors fitness class, so went and bought one for myself. 😊
Great! So glad you enjoyed it :)
Great class - look forward to doing your other stability ball workouts!
Great! I think using the ball is so much fun :)
You are a great instructor! thank you!!
You are so welcome, and thank you!
Great workout for my seniors!
Great to hear! I'm happy it's helpful Liz :)
Let me be honest, this excercise isn't hard at all to do for gym buddy, but this still require enough core stability. I really recommend for anybody who have joint problems, bad day on period cycle, or for anyone who just wants a light fun toning workout, this video is great for you guys!
I'm gonna add this to my morning workout playlist right after. Thank you so much😍
You are very welcome, I'm so glad you like it!!
Fantastic! Thank you again for this one😍
My pleasure :)
I wish you could hang more stability ball classes a bit more advanced. They are really brilliant!
Thanks Helen! What about adding a few more reps or adding ankle weights? That should turn it up a notch for you ;)
Enjoyed this ball workout. Easy to follow with clear instructions and a great workout. Thanks
You are most welcome! Thanks for working out with me 💜
Thank you for this excellent gym ball workout. Such a great way to tone your core. And other muscles.👍🏽
Glad you like it! You are most welcome :)
I love your video's and am just starting to work out again. I have arthritis, so have been slow moving for a couple of years. Thank you.
Thanks Patty! great job getting started again, that's the hardest part. Keep up the good work :)
Really nice peaceful workout and just the right pace. I'd been messing around with my ball just making it up as I went a long but your routine is much more beneficial. Thanks
So glad you liked it Rachel! I have a few more stability workouts too :)
I love working out with Lauren's videos. I have only been at it on a daily basis for a little over a week, and already, I am aware of having better posture and feel my core being stronger. Thank you!!!
Yay! I love to hear that Karla! Thanks so much! 💜
I love absolutely each of your workout. I feel so good after working out with you.
Awesome! That’s what I aim for. Thanks Dimitra!
A bit tough, but it was my first try! I know I will get better with your help.
Love your positive attitude!
Thank you so much. I used to lift weights, however I slowly discontinued and have since lived a sedentary lifestyle.
I love the balance ball because it's easy on my knees, which are worn out. Your workout is easy enough for beginners and seniors, but at the same time challenging enough to get results.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm so glad you think so! Good job getting back into working out. I have some strengthening workouts too that are gentle yet also effective if you still have any light weights around...
Very nice! I forgot how much I love my ball. Sneaky little moves that look easy, but there is definitely some kick hiding in them!
Thanks Kathy! So glad you made it through those sneaky moves too ;)
love it! not quiet senior yet ;) but a beginner.... thank you
Awesome! Thanks for working out with me!
I just love your videos.Your voice and demeanor are so calming; not that fake cheerleader stuff. I just bought a stability ball and your core video was perfect. Any chance you could do another one so that I could rotate videos? So appreciate you posting these videos.
Thank you so much! I have several more stability ball workouts. Here is the link to the playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLdAl5SsVkdocbUBzgSLd8kH7yXwN_A6hl
Thanks for your reply. What a great resource. I can now do a different workout each day of the week!
Enjoyed the workout!!
Great! Thanks so much 🤩🙌🏻
I am new to the stability ball and really enjoyed this workout
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow! Fun yet challenging. Thank you!!
my pleasure Lisa! Thanks so much for working out with me! Make sure to check out my other pilates stability ball workout too!

Greting for México
Great job! Thanks and happy to have you working out with me :)
I do pilates at my senior centre, in class and online. The only class I have difficulty with is the advanced stability ball class. Too much bouncing which hurts my knees and hips. This class was perfect. A good workout. Saved to my playlist. 🥰
Wonderful! Thank you June 💜
Love your workouts.. please do more with stability ball❤
So glad you love them! I'm not sure that I will do more with the stability ball, but I have the 5 or 6 for now :)
Excellent workout! Thank you 🙏
Glad you liked it!
Really what a good job
Thanks so much!
This looks fantastic! Just ordered myself a ball and will do the workout as soon as it arrives!
Yay! Let me know what you think when you do the workout! 😀
So I got my ball and just did the workout. It’s great, but I think my ball is too small. I’m 5’4” so I got the smallest ball based on the recommendations on the Amazon site. But my legs are definitely not in a 90 degree position when I sit on it. I do have long legs in relation to my torso, so maybe I need the next size up? I’ve filled the ball as much as it will take, so I don’t know. What do you think?
@@joannekempf3350 I would stick with what you have. You may find that once it is used a few times it can stretch out and you may be able to get some more air into it. I think a bigger ball may make some of the exercises too difficult (like gripping with your legs) as long as you are not uncomfortable sitting on it with your knees bent a little more, I think it's fine. Enjoy your long legs!
@@SeniorShapeFitness 😅
Excellent workout ! After trying a few times, find these particular workouts rather invigorating !! You actually feel refreshed afterwards !!! Many Thanks for all the thought you put into these workouts !! Im a CNA and take care of Elderly, cant wait to get some of them to try these !!! Maybe we can do together !!! They can do chair version of course !
Awesome Ms D! That’s exactly what I want: people to feel good after my workouts 💜
Hi Lauren, Noela from Australia here - this looks great! I'll have to go and buy myself a stability ball first though - looking forward to giving it a try.
Hi Noela! you won't regret buying a ball. there are so many ways to use it!
Thank you, I enjoyed this workout, first time with a stability ball. Not as graceful as you but I can feel it!
Great job Nancy, thanks for trying it!!

Yes! Thank you Jim, I'm thrilled you liked it :)
Lauren you did it again, you knocked the ball out of the park so to speak! I didn’t know how creative we could be using a stability ball to get a full body workout that’s really enjoyable and fun! Thank you so much for this routine! I look forward to using it often for a well rounded workout! 💪🥰👍❤️
Yay! Thank you again Sherry!
