- Great, effective and gentle full body all standing Pilates workout. These exercises are perfect for Seniors and Beginners or anyone who is not comfortable getting on the floor or on their hands and knees.
We will work all the major muscle groups in this full body workout. There are lots of posture and balance exercises as well. Everything is low impact and effective.
As always, go at your own pace and work your way up if you find some the exercises challenging. Just go slow, take a break when needed and return when you are ready.
You don’t need any equipment for this standing Pilates workout with the exception of a chair to aid with some moves including stretching.
We will finish the workout feeling relaxed yet energized!
Let me know how you liked the video in the comments, I love to read them and to see how strong our SeniorShape community is growing!
Here is the link to the Barreletics shoes I’m wearing. I love wearing them for Pilates workouts because they are supportive and allow my toes to grip the mat which helps for balance. Enter “SeniorShape” at checkout so they know I sent you. Thank you for your support!

Thank you. This started my day off in a positive way. I feel refreshed and as if I have done something good for myself
That’s great Cate! You have done something good for yourself 🙌🏻
I am 73. Just started my day with you about 3 times a week. Enjoying it! Thank you.
I am 86 years old. I go to a studio for reformer work Mondays and Fridays. I do yourclasses Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday to keep myself moving in between studio classes. I'm so happy I found you, Lauren. You are magic!!❤
That's great Barbara! I'm so impressed :)
Such a nice alternative when you don't feel like picking up weights. The variety on your channel is amazing.
Thank you, I appreciate that! The variety is good for our bodies too :)
Hi. I am 69 years old and love your workouts.
Another standing pilates workout would be great.
Thanks so much! Did you do this new standing pilates workout? ruclips.net/video/V2kcucJ4PJQ/видео.html
I'm 70, and just did this for the first time. One of the things I love about Lauren's workouts is that she alternates between the "tough" moves and the easier moves, so it motivates me to keep going. Thank you, Lauren!
Ha! You are on to me and my tactics :)
So glad you are enjoying my workouts!!
I love love ❤❤❤ all your workouts. Im 70 yrs young with muscle damage. After doing your workouts I feel great. Thanks, Juliet
Thank you Juliet, that's great to hear!!
I'm 67, and this was a challenge which is what I am looking for. I know it will take me a while to get where I want to be, but I believe this is an excellent start.
Great job Marne! Starting is the hardest part 💜
Thank you very much for a great standing Pilates workout! 😊
Great Pilates (as are all the workouts on Lauren's channel)! I'm 77 and for 4 months now I can't imagine starting my day without a great workout with Lauren. Everything was done very carefully for the elderly and very professionally. Thank you very much!
My pleasure. Thank you for your kind words and support!!
Hi i am 64 years and realy feel good after i started this work out thank you so much ❤❤😊
Wonderful! You are very welcome Cindy :)
First time trying Pilates at 63! This really kicks butt-- if you are keeping your core taut and posture aligned and controlling those movements! WOW. Feeling like jello but also great! Loving the challenges of all your workouts. They are just right for me and where I am in my fitness journey.
Wonderful Gabriella! I'm so glad you tried this workout and are feeling the benefits :)
I really enjoyed this workout. I have gone from 1.5kg weights to 3kg. Your calm approach is perfect for me. Thank you Lauren.
Great job! You are most welcome Karyn 🤩
You are such a good teacher Lauren! Thank you for the variety in your workouts. ❤
Thanks! I appreciate that :)
This workout was exactly what you said: gentle yet really effective! I broke a sweat, stretched my body, and feel nice and relaxed. Thanks so much!
Wonderful! Happy to hear it Melanie :)
Thankyou Lauren added this onto the cardio class great as usual have a lovely weekend see you on Monday 🙋💐❤️
Great job!
Love your Barre Classes! You’re workout was so much fun and like my old class which I cannot attend until my wrist heels. Thank you so much for having this class available!
You're so welcome!
Great Pilates! Easy to perform movements, but very effective in improving flexibility throughout the body. Thank you so much, Lauren!
My pleasure, so glad you enjoyed it 🤩
Love this gentle and easy workout ad melt with the beautiful music in the background and your clear, soft instructions. Thank you so much for this fine choreography.
You're so welcome! I’m thrilled you love it Lynn 🤩
Yay!!!! 7# all the way!!
You are the Best! I couldn’t do this without you❤❤❤
🎉 good for you!
Lauren, thank you very much.
This kind of routine makes me suffer because of my excess weight and my lack of flexibility but I understand that they are necessary to be able to get in shape.
I trust your guidance a lot and I am sure that I will achieve my goals with your help.
A hug and have a good day.
I love your positive attitude Mario. I hope you have a good day as well :)
The workout with you was pleasant for my soul and body, in spite of the fact, that I had to grab my chair very often. Thank you!
You’re welcome! No worries about grabbing the chair. 🤩
Such a wonderful workout! I loved the beautiful background music, so soothing and gentle, just like your voice. Thank you, Lauren!
My pleasure Karen :)
I enjoyed this different way of building strength. Thanks, Lauren! (Anne)
Glad you enjoyed it Anne 🤩
Lauren, I really enjoyed this workout. I feel taller and straighter now, thank you!!!🌻😊
Happy to hear it Jacqueline :)
I love the way you teach. I am 80 and when I started this class 3 weeks ago ,I couldn’t finish it. Now if feel stronger having done the class every day and can follow it to the end. Thank you for posting these video.❤
Wonderful! Great job Enrica. You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words. I have more standing pilates videos for you as well when you are ready for a little variety :)
I feel amazing after I finished Pilates yoga stretch! Thanks for your helpful videos!
My pleasure :) I love that you feel amazing!!
I just did this workout for the first time & really enjoyed it!
Great Stacy! Thanks for trying it :)
Thank you for another great workout, Lauren! This was more “friendly” than another Pilates workout I attempted to do on the floor a bit back. I love the emphasis on core and balance, which is so important as we get older!
Wonderful! Glad it's a good workout for you Jeanne :)
Well that answers that question, "Wondering if this workout will be enough abs" Oh yes ! Check that off for the day. Thanks for keeping us in check with the abs. So easy to (undo) the engagement. I have been working hard on not popping the lower ribs. Found that not only helps for my tummy to be more flat, but immediately helps me line up my spine from top to bottom when my sciatica is roaring and pain relief is immediate. Good Workout !!! Oh and thanks for keeping us "Honest" !
Yay! So glad you liked it! I think you may be my best student Tracy! 🙌🏻😍
@@SeniorShapeFitness I am sure I am your best fan, my friend. =)
Hi, yes I have a question,
I'm getting cramp in my neck, after getting out of bed in the morning. Is there an exercise that can help me? I've purchased a pillow, to see if it helps.
Thanks for any advice 🙏 😊
That's why I love Lauren she give us cues with a warm up and cool down and always answers our comments. So many You Tube videos these days are just music and some even say be sure to warmup so one would need to do a separate warmup which isn't appropriate for a 65 year old like me with Arthritis.
@@tracyheath6076 nope I am 😆
I started working out with you 30 days ago, and it's really helped me meet my goals for the first time in years. Thank you
Awesome! I love to hear that Joan 💜 keep up the good work 🙌🏻
Great Pilates workout with fantastic accommodations! Thank you!!❤
Glad you enjoyed it! You are very welcome Blythe :)
Thank you again. I did the workout with my runners on rather than bare feet. Probably provided a little more balance on some of those moves. Excellent as always.
Thanks so much Lynn!
Wow...great workout...not going to lie, I am going to be sore tomorrow 😂. At least I know I have done something and will feel good about it. Thank you Lauren and Mike...see you tomorrow ❤🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
Good for you Sharon!
Always feel great after doing one of your sessions! Thank you.
Wonderful! You're most welcome Donna :)
Thank you for your exercises and for your chair pilates and yoga
You're so welcome! Thanks Leah :)
Love your standing pilates workouts ❤
Thanks Penny! Try the Stretch and Stength I posted a few months ago. It’s very much Pilates inspired 🤩
I think I’m so conditioned to think fast and heavy is what is effective, so my mind was telling me during this one that it wasn’t doing anything, but at the same time, I feel nice and relaxed and enjoyed the movements. Love the variety you offer!
Thanks Kimber! It's still super effective, but you're right, sometimes it can be difficult to slow down. If you wanted to add a little intensity to this one (and other standing pilates) you could add some wrist and ankle weights :)
First time doing your Pilates. Loved the class will repeat again!❤
Wonderful! Thanks for trying it Jeannette :)
Really enjoyed this workout. I am new to pilates and find it difficult to do much on the floor due to injured knee, so to find all standing pilates is great. I feel toned, relaxed and energised. Thank you so much
You are most welcome! I have several more standing Pilates workouts as well 🤩
This was a good and very challenge workout. I haven’t really been workout for a while due to stomach issue but this was a good start to get back in to swing of things! 😊
Great job getting back into it Neta! Happy it was a good workout for you :)
I enjoyed this workout, and Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it Felicity :)
This was a super workout! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Lisa :)
Another great Pilates session, thank you!
You're so welcome Dawn!
I love everything about this standing pilates work out and I would love a few more!
Thank you! Until I get another standing Pilates routine posted, give this routine a try: ruclips.net/video/ib8sdjvZ7yw/видео.html
Also, you will probably like my barre workouts too!
@@SeniorShapeFitness will do, thanks!
Thanks, Lauren
You’re welcome Laila 🤩
Love these amazing workouts Lauren keep them coming 🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for yet again, another incredible workout Lauren! Your channel provides so many options and so many accommodations. Your videos have helped me so much to navigate issues with balance and autoimmunity and now with a sore knee, I have been able to find several of your standing videos which are gold. I so appreciate the options you provide for everybody and every body!!
It's my pleasure. I'm thrilled that they have been helpful to you :)
I absolutely loved this class! Thank you for sharing! I have noticed positive results and look forward to trying your other workouts as well.
Wonderful! That’s great to hear Jackie! Keep up the awesome work 🤩
Lauren I love your Standing Barre and Pilates exercises. Please make some more standing Pilates exercises. Thank you Lauren for these exercises❤❤❤❤❤
So glad you love them Lorraine!
Love this program ❤💪
Happy to hear it Ruth :)
This was such a gentle and kind on my body workout. Your calm instruction was appreciated. I’m working my way through all your workouts and I have enjoyed each and every one of them. Thank you for providing beautiful, enjoyable, and high quality workouts. ❤️
Thanks for appreciating them Traci! 😍
Thankyou Lauren it's very hot here so this class was perfect today 🥵🙋💐
you bet Julie, stay cool!!
Absolutely awesome workout! You gave very clear instructions and so it was real easy to follow. Also love how you kept reminding us on things that we need to do/maintain so that we can correct/readjust accordingly. Thank you so much!!!😊
You're so welcome Cici! I'm so glad you like it and thank you for your kind words!
@@SeniorShapeFitnesshello, Could you indicate routines for people who have not exercised in adulthood, 60 years. Strength, stretching, cardio,... thank you.

Marika
You're very welcome Marika! Im glad it's a good one for you :)
Another great workout. Thanks again for providing such excellent quality and variety.
Glad you like them! 🤩🙌🏻
This, Felt, Great. You have a magical way of making exercising fun! Thanks, as always. And look!! You got another 1,000 subscribers in just the last few days!
Yay! Thank you! I love that you feel great Michelle :)
Hola, soy de Puerto Rico, y me encantan tus rutinas. Ahora tengo un espasmo muscular en la espalda, pero hoy comencé con está sección de pilates ,fue muy buena. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Ms Lauren!! I am 56 and recently retired. You have helped me gently get back into working out each day with both Pilates and Yoga...I am trying every one of your workouts, cardio too! Your demeanor is encouraging and sweet! Is is a good idea to do a different one each day or do one type back to back? Tracey❤
Great job Tracey! I prefer to do a different workout each day. If you would like some guidance I provide a weekly workout guide. I post suggested workouts for the week every Sunday. You can find it in the playlist section or community tab of my channel's main page.
Amazing, I haven't done any exercise for 6 months except gardening and walking. I needed to beat my sluggish phase and this workout was amazing, I did sweat and I feel in my legs massively the workout. Such a calm and lovely instructor and I plan to thus this every morning to get my body ready fir the day.
Wonderful! Glad it's a good workout for you Charlene :)
Hi Lauren. I wanted to do something gentle today, and I haven't done pilates in awhile, so this was perfect. Many thanks!💖🩷
So glad! You are most welcome as always Rene :)
You are the sweetest. 😊💓@@SeniorShapeFitness
Knees and hips talked throughout the video. I am finding you workouts challenging but I feel so good afterwards. Thank you
Yay Clare! That's what I strive for. I just want people to feel better and feel good!!! Look for another standing Pilates video coming soon!
Excellent! Standing workouts are best for me. Thanks.
So glad it works well for you Heather! thank you as always!
Thank you. Do you know how many beginning pilates workout s for seniors there are, starting on the floor. Literally, for me to get down there could be a comedy routine!
This is appreciated.
I'm so glad you found me and the workout was good for you Alexandra! I also have a seated pilates routine, and you may like my barre workouts as well! They are similar to this standing pilates.
did this workout after the 30 minute hitt cardio. great job. no strain on my knees and felt challenged. met my zone minutes with mostly fatburn. I think that at my age and with my knee, 10,000 steps a day is too much. I am finding that with 4000 to 6000 steps a day and some strength training I am meeting my goals. Thanks so much for your videos. The every other day home walking workouts have been helping me to shed weight and I don't want to give them up.
That sounds like a good plan Terri! Nice job listening to your body :)
❤ This is exactly what I needed. I lost 25 pounds and still felt like I needed something to help me feel better. Thank you!!! You make it easy to follow for us seniors. 65 and getting better.
That's great Laurie!
Loved the video. I used 1 pound hand weights for added resistance.
Nice work! 🤩
Exactly as described. This is the daily workout I need to keep me going. Thank you!
You're welcome Sharon, so glad it works well for you!
This was really good! I loved all of the exercises in this sequence. Very gentle on my 59 year-old frame. 😉 Your presentation makes this a great Pilates video. I will be back for more of your Pilates workout. Thank you!
You are so welcome, I'm thrilled that you loved it! Thank you for your kind words and for working out with me!
Another good one!
Glad you think so! Thanks Ann :)
A great workout, thank you, I am starting to do the weekly plans.
You're so welcome! Happy to have you working out with me Susan :)
While it may not “look” like much, it “feels” like a lot, in a very good way. Thanks, Lauren. 🙏🏻
absolutely Lynn!!!
Perfect way to start my Sunday. Excited to incorporate Pilates into my wellness plan!
Wonderful! Pilates has so many great benefits :)

This is my new favorite Pilates workout! I cannot believe how much stronger two months of your Pilates routines have made me! I'm a believer! 💛💛💛
You’re the best Laura! So glad you are seeing results 🙌🏻
I don't normally do pilates but I took your suggestion to try different workouts and I enjoyed doing this. I appreciate how you always offer challenges and encouragement.
Great! I'm so glad you tried it :)
Thank you for doing these beginner workouts!!! Love the fact that this is available for someone older and not as strong or flexible. I am looking forward to increasing my strength and flexibility as I do them!
You're so welcome! Great plan Janet 🤩

Another GREAT workout! You are awesome! Keep up the good work. Thank you, thank you!
You're so welcome! You keep up the good work too!
Just starting to look for Pilates or Yoga, chair and standing, for seniors. This was a good work out for me. Thank you very much.
Wonderful! glad to hear it JoAnn :)
Lauren, I am really enjoying your videos. Ive been doing them for 3 mo. now. I like that you have such a variety of programs at all different time lengths so i can customize my work out based on how much time i have and what areas i want to work. I see patients at a weight loss clinic and exercise is a part of every patient's plan. If they do not have a routine, I will give them your name to start exercising. My one suggestion for a new routine, for me, would be this- i get migranes, and on those days cannot work out in the morning. Come afternoon or evening when headache is better, I want to work out but I can't do standing or bouncing workouts. Im looking for a complete work out 45-1hr routine that is all mat work (including weights). Thank you again for making me feel stronger, more flexible, and more stable.
Great! Thank you so much for sharing my channel!
Re: your own workout, have you done this one? 40 minutes on the mat. ruclips.net/video/NiEvPcZ0Dig/видео.html
This helps to release the tension I have been having at my shoulders, neck and back somehow. Thank you Lauren.
You’re welcome! So glad to hear it 💜
Great video, even with my fused spine I could do most of the moves, thank you Lauren. I too feel like you’re looking right at me and reminding me to breathe, hold my abds etc.😊
Great to hear Robyn, thank you! 💜
I had not stretched alot of the muscles that I stretched today since my spine surgery two years ago. The movements and stretching felt relieving on my back. Thank you for thinking about us seniors and our exercise needs.
Wonderful! You're welcome Lidia, I'm so glad that this workout made you feel good!
I really enjoyed your Pilates class. Thanks.💓
My pleasure Lesley, so glad you like it!
Thank you for this workout
