Thank you, I so appreciate your workouts!! Years ago (and a few injuries back) I used to enjoy working with weights. A while back, I tried to build strength with a trainer at a gym but felt unengaged with the routine of it, and its focus on strength over mobility. YOUR videos are interesting, supportive, and progressive enough for me to build back my strength while moving despite abdominals that have grown weak over time. I am encouraged once again in working with you!
I have been doing your workout every morning before I walk my dog. I ABSOLUTELY love your workouts. I'm a 65 yr old and this now this part of my daily routine. The 30 mins goes sooo quickly. THANK YOU
Hi Lauren, my wife and I do your workouts 4 times a week. We really appreciate the effort that put in into your classes. I golf 3 times a week and my wife is a keen walker. We both feel the benefit your workout gives us. We are both 73 years old. You’re a star ❤
Lauren, thank you so much for your workouts. I’m 64 years old and have never been athletic, although I’ve always tried to get regular exercise. Many workout videos are too difficult for me or just not fun. Your workouts are challenging for me, but not impossible. I like the peaceful background, the music, your kind and encouraging voice, etc. Thank you again!
I really enjoy your workouts. Thank you. Even though I am not a complete beginner, I am not very strong, especially across my chest. These workouts are just the right level for me to enjoy; not too fast and challenging enough to feel real benefit. That means I stand a good chance of consistency here rather than giving up because I get demotivated. :) I also really, really appreciate the calm way you deliver instructions and the lack of jarring music and unnecessary affirmations - just practical advice about breathing and which muscles to hold. Thank you again.
When my cardiologist told me I needed to start lifting weights I really resisted. As someone who spent a lot of time in the gym lifting weights when I was young, I remembered how quickly bored I became. I’m so grateful to have randomly found your channel. As a physician I appreciate your mindfulness toward our senior bodies and varied abilities. Thank you so much!
Almost 70. I’m regular with yoga and walking. Feeling old these days and too saggy baggy after a month long recovery. Thank you! Perfect routine to get me into weight work so I’m glad I never got rid of these dumb bells after 25+ years!
My analytical brain loves your workouts b/c you fully explain the moves. I tried going to different gym workouts and by the time I figured out the move, they were already three moves ahead of me. Thank you SO much for being detailed in the workout moves. It is very helpful. This is the first time I stick with a program and look forward to it.
Love this workout because as a life-long exerciser who is now 65 yrs old, I want workouts that still challenge me but are safer in regard to potential low-back injury, etc. This workout struck just the right note!
Excellent workout! Love it that you aren't yelling and there is decent background music. I will DEFINITELY subscribe and keep up with your workouts! Keep up the good work! You are amazing!
THANKYOU I’m 65 and enjoy being a senior lady, with this workout I feel like I’m getting closer to being strong, & look forward to the next one, as I feel safe w/ ur instruction☺️
I keep coming back to this one. My muscles are so much stronger than last year. I started following you regularly and daily in January of this year. I have a different body thanks to your workouts. Feel 10 year younger.
Lauren you are so knowledgeable in your field. I can trust your judgement knowing that we will get the most sound exercise. I absolutely don’t know how I can workout with anyone else. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
Thank you for this awesome compound exercises, can’t believe it is for seniors & beginners. I was diagnosed with osteopenia , lacking bone density and so i embarked upon strength training at home since three years. Gradually I started with, sitting on chair exercises watching videos of Meredith to standing and advanced. She’s also awesome. The Dexascan showed improvement and continued to do twice a week more or less regularly. Now the 5lbs was very easy even with two repetitions of 15, I didn’t want to increase the weights fearing becoming too muscular and manly. So while looking for a variation I bumped into yours and am so glad. This is the third week, third time as in the first week I was exhausted though enjoyed the variation. As am 74 years bubbly chirpy young girl, want to go cautiously as some of my friends have hurt themselves by walking over 5 miles in this pandemic. Additionally I was also told in August of 2020 that there’s beginning of arthritis due to degeneration. Since am a therapist myself, I did self healing and have almost reversed it with total determination and focus. I intend doing this regularly though could not do the abs, raising my upper body as the neck hurt. God bless you my dear.
Thanks Vijaya! It sounds like you have found the right workouts for you and are on a good path. Good for you for taking care of your health and seeing improvements! Way to go!
I always like your workouts. I do a variety of workouts during the week, and yours are always so calm and peaceful. Thank you for sharing and your encouragement!!!
This workout is one of the best I've ever done. I had major surgery four months ago and once I got the go ahead to exercise again, I began to start the journey but had been hesitant to add weights. Well, today I decided to go for it and boy am I glad I did. I was surprised I was able to use eight pound weights and was super grateful for the pace as well as the effectiveness of this workout. It was so perfect that it prompted me to subscribe to your channel. Also, you're the first trainer who has been able to get me to get on the floor and do ab exercises. I will definitely have this workout in my rotation. Thank you, Lauren!
Yay! Thank you so much! Good for you for getting started with working out again. If you look at my "strength" playlist, you will find many more workouts like this one.
Your voice. Your creative flow in compound movements. Your obvious passion and dedication to providing quality instructions for everyone -- especially seniors. I am sooooo glad that I found your workout sessions, Lauren. I am a certified yoga teacher and long-time user of free weights, and I've learned much from your classes. I enjoy them thoroughly, especially after having tried several other "senior" channels for strength, walking, and weight workouts. I find myself returning to you time and time again. Great job. Thank you.
I really loved it! My whole body feels stronger all over. I have a lot of progress to make but feel safe with your pace doing it. I am 73yyoung! Thank-you Lauren.
Thank you ! Love your exercise videos. You are my go to for weight bearing exercises for optimal bone density and strength. I'm confident I will never hurt myself, thank you for taking care of me. 🌸 🤗
Another fabulous routine I've just discovered. Fantastic workout and perfect for anyone with osteoarthritis - loved it! So many thanks for keeping us seniors fit and energetic...and motivated!
Thank you for this workout which I tried for the first time today, after recovering from a back injury. Your pacing is perfect and enthusiasm helps to maintain motivation. I'm hopeful!
Great work out. Thanks for providing these safe, kinder, gentler strength work outs. I feel like Im getting a good workout but not going to injure myself trying to keep up.
Thanks Lauren. I do enjoy workouts that use compound exercises; why did we use gym machines for so many years? Thanks for your cues; reminders are always appreciated, especially with a new workout.
Thank you for this. I've been living a sedentary life and feeling very sluggish with the weight starting to slowly pile on despite being careful with my diet. This is a good start. Not hard nor difficult, just nice to losen up my tight muscles especially the shoulder areas. Subscribed!
Great workout, I really enjoyed it. I've been looking for slower moving workouts, but still wanted some challenge, and I also want to increase my strength. I'm looking forward to trying some more of your workouts. I'm doing another challenge, but due to the intensity of it, had to slow it down to two or three days per week. I was looking for something else for the alternate days, and your workouts look like the perfect thing!
Thank you, I will come back to this and try that. I worked out at the gym for decades and finally age and enough injuries caught up with me. I'm trying to get back into some sort of decent shape at 63. Thank you.
Upper 60’s, reasonably active. Decided to use weights to help with strength training and Google led me to your channel. Love this video working with weights and compound movements. With golf season starting up soon, I think more than a few of these exercises will benefit me on the golf course, too. Thank you for what you do to help others be more fit.
I would like to add my thanks! I began with your standing pilates workout a few weeks ago and added this weight workout today. I'm 54 and a runner. I'm hoping that these workouts will help me get stronger, especially my hips and abdomen, so I can run again in the future, injury free,
You are so very welcome! sounds like you have a well rounded workout plan, and I hope your injury heals well. If you are looking to strengthen your hips and abdomen, I would recommend more pilates!
I loved this morning workout! I have used 3 kgs dumbbells and I feel great! You are the best and the only one in here, at least from the you tube trainers I have worked with all of these years, who does a good warm up and a good stretching. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
First time I did this class I used 3lbs and it was a struggle! Today I used 5lbs with ease….the progress keeps me motivated and your channel makes it possible! The variety and creativity of your routines amazes me and time flies so quickly I sometimes find myself doing two classes! I’ll be 67 this year and I haven’t felt this well in a few years. Thank you Lauren! ❤
So exciting Rose! Comments like these just make my day!!! Thank you for your kind words and congratulations to you. YOU are the one doing all the hard work :)
In am 54 and have weight trained in my 40's . I have given up pickingup weights and only walk and do yoga these days. But today I used your video and enjyed the 30 min workout. I am so humbled and wiling to start again asa senior. Much love from India.
Lauren these workouts are perfect! Calm presentations with no craziness! I love that you don't rush! Love the setting. Wish I'd found this years ago. I'm 66. You are much appreciated.
You popped up on my feed today and I gave it a try. I LOVED the workout. I appreciate so much that you are doing compound movements, and doing them slowly so we can do the move correctly.
I am so thankful I found your channel. I used to workout a lot but had gotten away from it. A little older and a lot wiser I’ve decided to get back in shape but in a more gentle manner. All of your workouts are perfect! Challenging but still doable. Your instructions are clear and easy to understand. I look forward to working out with you each day. It’s no longer a chore. Thanks so much!
Knowing that strength training is important as I age I decided to try your workout. I feel like I’m losing my strength and need to be strong for my job. I really enjoyed your style of the strength workout and will continue to visit your channel. Thank you😀👍🏼🏋️♀️
Every time I do your workout, Lauren, I exclaim - what amazing exercises Lauren comes up with! Dumbbells are my favorite sports equipment. Exercises with dumbbells help me improve my balance. Thank you so much Lauren!
Thanks for these great workouts. Not only do I appreciate the expertise, but also the presentation- the calm peaceful background, good quality sound and sometimes a touch green.
Lauren, this is the very first video I did with you about 4 months ago. I come back to it periodically from doing your other videos. Came back to it today. Amazing how much stronger I am doing this one after working with you and your videos about 2x a week. You are making a difference to your watchers!
I’m SO GLAD I discovered your channel! So many of the “senior” workout channels I’ve run across are either for frail people or uber athletes. I’m in the middle: 63, reasonably fit, creaky knees, but up for a challenge. Your workouts fit me perfectly! Thank you so much! Oh, and I would love to see a dedicated play list for bedtime stretches, as I find my generalized pain wants to flare up in the evenings, but I don’t want to do any sort of energizing workout or stretching . Can’t thank you enough.
Wonderful Elizabeth! I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts. I only have the two dedicated videos for bedtime stretches, so not enough for a whole playlist yet, but here is the link all my stretching videos. the 10 minute videos would be good before bed as well: ruclips.net/p/PLdAl5SsVkdofxWKLpa_KrgfAfWvZX15zL
I appreciate and love that you do compound exercises. I hate when I have to choose between upper or lower body! As others have said, thank you for this pace while still challenging us. Today I upped my weights and it was challenging! I enjoyed every minute of it and will be doing your other videos as well!
Hello ! I am a retired Physical Therapist of 39 years; I will turn 69 in late July. I was into Power lifting and pretty strong until I retired 4 yrs ago; I then re-discovered Genealogy, and have been passionate, up to 6 to 8 hrs a day (on the couch). Now I am 5 ft 8 1/2", 242 lbs (was 145 lbs high school, 155 P.T. school, 175 when I met my now wife in 2003..I just watched your video, and will start (no way I can get all the way through it initially). I have hurt myself lifting heavy weights in the past, and your presentation and athletic physique are inspiring....so thank you very much...I'll check in now and then. Sincerely, Stew
I am so happy I found your workouts! They’re exactly what I’ve been searching for! Im a beginner with weights/strength training so I appreciate your pace and your kind manner. It’s a pleasure working out with you! ❤
I love the variety of your workouts. I thought you were too young and maybe your exercises were going to be hard but they are perfect for me. You explain them well and reminds us of details. Your voice is calm, soft and relaxing. Thank you for your great videos.!!
Yay! I'm so glad my workouts are perfect for you Gabriela! Thanks for giving them a try. I'm not a senior yet, I'm 44 and I think my workouts are challenging but achievable for most!
This was perfect for me. I like strength training but I have with injuries, I have to watch what I do, and your channel addresses issues that seniors can have, but not compromising challenge.
I am in my early 30's recovering from a shoulder injury, this workout was really great for me. Gentle, but not too gentle as to be boring / ineffective, and the teacher was comprehensive in her instructions.
This video is, without question, the best (fairly gentle) functional strength training video I've done (and I've done dozens of them). Thank you so much for putting these videos together. Love your channel.
I just discovered your senior exercise channel a few weeks ago. I have enjoyed the strengthening exercises and especially this one today. Great weight bearing and functional lower body workout. Thanks!!
I truly enjoyed this routine, from beginning to the end Lauren.. Actually, I like all your weight routines ❤️.. They're doable and strengthening and you explain what the movements are for. Bring us more!
Another winner of a workout. Love how you explain the importance of the exercises in maintaining strength and mobility as we age. Side effect of some sculpting is a bonus!
Thank you, Lauren, for demonstrating the weight training moves with plenty of modifications to make it a little easier for us beginners! Your calming voice and excellent instructions made my workout feel like I was in your studio. I’m out of shape, but I’m hopeful I can turn the clock back. Thanks from a new subscriber!
Exactly what I was looking for, a program short enough to fit in my busy life with compound exercises that allow me to get the most out of my time. My boss, in her wisdom, decided we should work from home for 4 days of the week, so I have extra time before the family awake. I love how you encourage without being patronising and how knowledgable you are. The info about where I should be feeling it allows me to make that one hundredth of a degree change in position that makes all the difference. I am six weeks in and my partner says she can see the difference. The range of exercises is great, my whole body feels good for hours afterwards. Thank you, and I hope your business is as successful as you hoped.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing Charles. I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the workout and seeing results. You are the perfect viewer that responds to cues and makes corrections. Keep up the good work!
I may be 38 but I found this great part of my rehab for back injury. So glad i found you. Working my way through ur videos. Thanks so much for doing low impact strength that anyone can do.
@SeniorShapeFitness ive been searching for a workout that still challenges me but doesnt firther hurt my back. Ive done 2 of ur videos so far and i will be looking through your library daily. Thankyou for making workouts that are inclusive. ❤️
As a 52 yr old with HMS and arthritis, I have tried at least a dozen weight workouts and I like this one the best so far. Good warm-up and cool-down, incorporating many of my favorite moves that I can do without tearing ligaments. Thank you!!
I used to enjoy working with weights as well, was a caregiver to my parents and stopped - this was gentle on my joints, I really appreciate your videos.❤️
This was a good strength workout! Not sure if you are aware, but there were 3 commercial breaks during the workout which made it a bit more difficult to keep moving. Thank you for your quality workouts🙏🏻

Awesome workout. Just the right amount of reps to feel it.

So exciting Rose! Comments like these just make my day!!! Thank you for your kind words and congratulations to you. YOU are the one doing all the hard work :)
From two 74 year olds in the UK, lots and lots of thanks. God bless you Lauren.
My pleasure Les! I appreciate you working out with me :)
Thank you so much, Lauren! I'm actually sticking with this one! I'm 67 & hate exercise but I actually look forward to this most every day!
THat's nice to hear! You Do You :)
Thank you for helping me get weights back in my life! Your workouts are excellent! Thank you, thank you!!!!
Yay! You’re welcome Susan. Thanks for working out with me 💜
In am 54 and have weight trained in my 40's . I have given up pickingup weights and only walk and do yoga these days. But today I used your video and enjyed the 30 min workout. I am so humbled and wiling to start again asa senior. Much love from India.
Good for you! Weight training is so important for seniors 🤩
Great workout Lauren! Found this old video searching thru all your videos. Love all your videos and content! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Michelle :)
I come back to this workout again and again, always challenging and I feel great after.🙂
Wonderful! Keep up the great work Lyndis :)
Lauren these workouts are perfect! Calm presentations with no craziness! I love that you don't rush! Love the setting. Wish I'd found this years ago. I'm 66. You are much appreciated.
Yay! Thank you Noreen. I'm glad you found me now, and I'm not anywhere anytime soon :)
I am in 39, never worked out with weights.. but this was so relaxing and actually I could follow it. Thanks a lot.loved it ❤️
Yay, that’s awesome! Nice job getting started and thanks for working out with me!
Thanks 🙏 Your workouts are challenging, but always safe and easily modified if needed. This was a good one!!
You're so welcome!
You popped up on my feed today and I gave it a try. I LOVED the workout. I appreciate so much that you are doing compound movements, and doing them slowly so we can do the move correctly.
Great workout! I workout with you almost every day. I am so glad I found you in your corner of the world. Thank you Lauren.
Thanks Linda! I’m so glad you found me too! 💜
I am so thankful I found your channel. I used to workout a lot but had gotten away from it. A little older and a lot wiser I’ve decided to get back in shape but in a more gentle manner. All of your workouts are perfect! Challenging but still doable. Your instructions are clear and easy to understand. I look forward to working out with you each day. It’s no longer a chore. Thanks so much!
My pleasure Staci! Thank you for your kind words and I’m thrilled my workouts are perfect for you! 😍
Knowing that strength training is important as I age I decided to try your workout. I feel like I’m losing my strength and need to be strong for my job. I really enjoyed your style of the strength workout and will continue to visit your channel. Thank you😀👍🏼🏋️♀️
Thank you so much Linda! I'm so glad you liked it and I appreciate you working out with me!
Every time I do your workout, Lauren, I exclaim - what amazing exercises Lauren comes up with! Dumbbells are my favorite sports equipment. Exercises with dumbbells help me improve my balance. Thank you so much Lauren!
You're so welcome! I'm so proud of you for trying (and doing) so many of my workouts :)
Thanks for these great workouts. Not only do I appreciate the expertise, but also the presentation- the calm peaceful background, good quality sound and sometimes a touch green.
You're so welcome! Thanks for your sweet comments!
Lauren, this is the very first video I did with you about 4 months ago. I come back to it periodically from doing your other videos. Came back to it today. Amazing how much stronger I am doing this one after working with you and your videos about 2x a week. You are making a difference to your watchers!
Yay! I'm so proud of you Lori! You are making the difference for yourself. Keep up the awesome work :)
Can't believe I found you! A miracle! I'm 75 swim every day but need strength training as I travel and lots of walking! Bless you
Wonderful! Welcome to my channel Diane, I'm so glad you found me too :)
Many thanks. Would love to see more of these 20 to 30 mins. with warm ups and cool downs included. Your videos are the best.
Thanks Mark! Have you done this one? ruclips.net/video/sg1o8zvhNWk/видео.html
Thankyou 🙏Thus was perfect, looking forward to getting stronger again. I love your gentle voice .
Wonderful! Thanks for working out with me Louise! 💜
I’m SO GLAD I discovered your channel! So many of the “senior” workout channels I’ve run across are either for frail people or uber athletes. I’m in the middle: 63, reasonably fit, creaky knees, but up for a challenge. Your workouts fit me perfectly! Thank you so much! Oh, and I would love to see a dedicated play list for bedtime stretches, as I find my generalized pain wants to flare up in the evenings, but I don’t want to do any sort of energizing workout or stretching . Can’t thank you enough.
Wonderful Elizabeth! I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts. I only have the two dedicated videos for bedtime stretches, so not enough for a whole playlist yet, but here is the link all my stretching videos. the 10 minute videos would be good before bed as well: ruclips.net/p/PLdAl5SsVkdofxWKLpa_KrgfAfWvZX15zL
Thanks Lauren. Am in Wales, UK. Finding your senior workout, with weights, very useful. Best wishes, Anna
Wonderful Anna! Thanks for working out with me 🤩
I appreciate and love that you do compound exercises. I hate when I have to choose between upper or lower body! As others have said, thank you for this pace while still challenging us. Today I upped my weights and it was challenging! I enjoyed every minute of it and will be doing your other videos as well!
Wonderful Donna! So glad you liked it and great job increasing your weights!
Hello ! I am a retired Physical Therapist of 39 years; I will turn 69 in late July. I was into Power lifting and pretty strong until I retired 4 yrs ago; I then re-discovered Genealogy, and have been passionate, up to 6 to 8 hrs a day (on the couch). Now I am 5 ft 8 1/2", 242 lbs (was 145 lbs high school, 155 P.T. school, 175 when I met my now wife in 2003..I just watched your video, and will start (no way I can get all the way through it initially). I have hurt myself lifting heavy weights in the past, and your presentation and athletic physique are inspiring....so thank you very much...I'll check in now and then. Sincerely, Stew
Good for you Stew! I think with your experience you will gain your strength back quicker than you think. Definitely keep me updated :)
Thank you for the encouraging words Lauren !! I will keep you apprised of my progress!!
I am so happy I found your workouts! They’re exactly what I’ve been searching for! Im a beginner with weights/strength training so I appreciate your pace and your kind manner. It’s a pleasure working out with you! ❤
Thanks so much! I'm happy to have you working out with me Lee :)
I love the variety of your workouts. I thought you were too young and maybe your exercises were going to be hard but they are perfect for me. You explain them well and reminds us of details. Your voice is calm, soft and relaxing. Thank you for your great videos.!!
Yay! I'm so glad my workouts are perfect for you Gabriela! Thanks for giving them a try. I'm not a senior yet, I'm 44 and I think my workouts are challenging but achievable for most!
Yes
This was perfect for me. I like strength training but I have with injuries, I have to watch what I do, and your channel addresses issues that seniors can have, but not compromising challenge.
Exactly! That's what I hope for Heidi! So glad it was a perfect workout for you :)
Thanks again, Lauren!! Your reminders are always welcome!!
so glad you appreciate them Martha, Thank you!
I used 5 lb weights, and I could feel it. I need to purchase 8 lbs. Thank you for all that you do. You are by far the best!!
Great job Missie, and thank you, I appreciate you kind words!
On a road trip w/ my husband thru the Oregon Coast and doing your exercises that work well in a small RV space. Glad to have you on the trip.
Awesome! Glad to be there 😆
I am in my early 30's recovering from a shoulder injury, this workout was really great for me. Gentle, but not too gentle as to be boring / ineffective, and the teacher was comprehensive in her instructions.
Thanks! So glad to hear this was a good workout for you :)
This video is, without question, the best (fairly gentle) functional strength training video I've done (and I've done dozens of them). Thank you so much for putting these videos together. Love your channel.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!!!
I LOVE all of your videos! Not too much and not too little; JUST RIGHT!
Yay! Thank you Peggy, I'm thrilled you are enjoying my videos :)
Formidable ! Travailler avec vous est un plaisir quotidien . Tous les muscles travaillent différemment en changeant de séances . Mille mercis !!! ♥️
De rien! Merci Odile 💜
I just discovered your senior exercise channel a few weeks ago. I have enjoyed the strengthening exercises and especially this one today. Great weight bearing and functional lower body workout. Thanks!!
Yay! Thank you so much Pam! I love that your are enjoying my workouts :)
I truly enjoyed this routine, from beginning to the end Lauren.. Actually, I like all your weight routines ❤️.. They're doable and strengthening and you explain what the movements are for. Bring us more!
Awesome Regina! New one coming soon! 💜
Another winner of a workout. Love how you explain the importance of the exercises in maintaining strength and mobility as we age. Side effect of some sculpting is a bonus!
yes Kathy, so many benefits and bonuses for sure!!! Thank you and glad you liked it :)
Thank you, Lauren, for demonstrating the weight training moves with plenty of modifications to make it a little easier for us beginners! Your calming voice and excellent instructions made my workout feel like I was in your studio. I’m out of shape, but I’m hopeful I can turn the clock back. Thanks from a new subscriber!
Yay! Welcome Nancy! I’m thrilled you found me and enjoyed the workout 💜
First time going over 30 minutes and feeling very happy. Thank you, Lauren. This was just the ticket.
Wow! good for you Darby :)
Exactly what I was looking for, a program short enough to fit in my busy life with compound exercises that allow me to get the most out of my time. My boss, in her wisdom, decided we should work from home for 4 days of the week, so I have extra time before the family awake. I love how you encourage without being patronising and how knowledgable you are. The info about where I should be feeling it allows me to make that one hundredth of a degree change in position that makes all the difference. I am six weeks in and my partner says she can see the difference. The range of exercises is great, my whole body feels good for hours afterwards.
Thank you, and I hope your business is as successful as you hoped.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing Charles. I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the workout and seeing results. You are the perfect viewer that responds to cues and makes corrections. Keep up the good work!
I may be 38 but I found this great part of my rehab for back injury. So glad i found you. Working my way through ur videos. Thanks so much for doing low impact strength that anyone can do.
Great! My workouts are for everyone and I appreciate you working out with me :)
@SeniorShapeFitness ive been searching for a workout that still challenges me but doesnt firther hurt my back. Ive done 2 of ur videos so far and i will be looking through your library daily. Thankyou for making workouts that are inclusive. ❤️
@@grimbles1273 It's my pleasure :)
I'm 66 and used 5 lb weights--I thought she used a lot of moves I wasn't familar with and explained everything well. Will be back! Thank you! :)
Great! Thanks for working out with me Julie :)
As a 52 yr old with HMS and arthritis, I have tried at least a dozen weight workouts and I like this one the best so far. Good warm-up and cool-down, incorporating many of my favorite moves that I can do without tearing ligaments. Thank you!!
You are very welcome, I'm happy to hear that it's helpful to you ;)
Loved it Lauren! Thank you
So glad! Thanks Cindy :)
Splendid. Thank you😊
Most welcome 😊
That was a really excellent workout, some really great new stretches, and thanks for being quiet and thoughtful instead of loud and obnoxious!
I totally agree, she is so calm and always look forward to new workouts.
I used to enjoy working with weights as well, was a caregiver to my parents and stopped - this was gentle on my joints, I really appreciate your videos.❤️
Thank you Joanne! I’m glad this was a good workout for you 💜
This was a good strength workout! Not sure if you are aware, but there were 3 commercial breaks during the workout which made it a bit more difficult to keep moving. Thank you for your quality workouts🙏🏻
Oh no! I’ll fix that! Thanks for letting me know!
@@SeniorShapeFitness thanks for taking the ads out another thing I love about you is that you keep yours ad free.
I really appreciate this video--the pace is good, your presence supportive and encouraging. thank you so much.
You're very welcome Marci! Thank you for your kind comments :)
I love this workout. The compound exercises keep me interested and let me know that I'm working on all major muscle groups. Thanks.
You're so welcome! Glad you love it Liz :)
Just finished this! It was a perfect work out for me. I am just restarting to tone again after several months of low activity because of an injury
That’s great Shelley, I’m so glad you liked it! Make sure to check out my other videos too! Hope your injury heals nicely!
