Lauren, Thank you for your WONDERFUL workouts! I love them all! I am 57 years young and a granny! I am a school teacher and out for my very short summer break. Your workouts are very effective and perfect for anti-aging fitness! I also love your sweet, soft voice and relaxing music. I look forward to working out with you every day! You are beautiful and precious! Peace, love, and grace to you, Lauren
Wow! What a beautiful comment! Thank you so much. I'm honored and humbled that such nice people like you have found my channel and like my workouts. Thank YOU for being a teacher. It's such an important job! Enjoy your summer break and thanks for working out with me!
Fun!! Haven't seen this one before. The Father knew I needed something like this today. Will do this one more frequently! Thank you, Lauren, for all these wonderful variety of workouts❣
Wow, I’ve been doing your routines for something like a week but haven’t done any Pilates before. You make this look so easy, but it’s anything but! I can see this is really great for strength and balance both of which I need work on. I did what I could, and I’m sure I’ll get better over time. Whew, now THAT was a workout! 😮
Core day, did a 2 year old stability ball workout which was really really good then found this floor pilates, what a great 2fer combo!! More floor pilates please, I love all of them!!
Lauren..only found you recently...your variety and level of workouts are perfectly suited to my needs..late sixties...thank you so much..I love your dance video..and so many great choices so I never get bored.. ❤
Loved this video. I have been doing one of your videos almost every day - the variety of your videos makes it very easy to mix it up - never get bored. I am finding that I am having a little easier time getting up from a crouched position. You know the old senior complaint "Getting down isn't too hard, it's getting back up." I really think your videos are helping me build lower body strength that makes getting up and down easier! Yeah! Thank you!
I made it through about 90% of this. I may or may not have just laid on the floor when you said to go half way back & do knee drives 😂. Hopefully I'll be strong enough to do this one eventually. Great variety of ab work in your videos.
I loved this Lauren ! I really do feel stronger and able to do more these days ! I have been mixing it up with walking stretching and Pilates . Thanks so much 🥰
As always, I love the continued variety of challenges you provide. I found I'm seriously challenged to perform the stretch that starts on your knees with one leg extended to the side, then you instruct us to put hands behind head and bend body sideways for the obliques. The challenge for me is when you continue on to balancing on one knee and one hand, then doing crunches to the opposite knee with the opposite elbow. My question is are there a set of appropriate moves to strengthen those muscles involved to perform that move as effortlessly as it seems you do. Thanks again!
Great question Tanya! Two different things you can try: 1. You can do this "bird-dog" exercise in a standing position facing a wall for support. This will make it easier to balance. 2. try just lifting one limb at a time if you are in the traditional hands and knees position. Once you get stronger you can add in the other arm or leg.
Loved this workout - it was challenging and I could feel my muscles working . I came across your channel as I was browsing for exercises that were gentle, low impact and barre with Pilates. So happy to have found your channel. Thank you Lauren X
Just did this workout and it was another great one! I have done quite a few of your workouts now, in fact I try to do one 4-5 times a week. I really like your 10 min mix and match. I'd love another 10 min legs/butt for some variety. I am feeling stronger and more toned. Thank you so much for all your creative workouts!! I also really appreciate that you give ample time for stretching. Please keep your videos coming
Yay! You’re welcome Marianne! Thanks so much for the positive feedback, and great job doing all those workouts 🙌🏻. Have you tried this short band video? 10 min mostly butt. ruclips.net/video/763_iREbbl0/видео.html
Have you done this one?: ruclips.net/video/hCF9slyzFic/видео.html also, if you have a stability ball there are several pilates workouts I have similar to this using a big ball...
Excellent workout! Do you have any tips for neck tension while doing the series at 13:42? I don’t have any neck problems, just holding in that position was a little difficult.
Yes! just tuck your chin. Some people tend to hang their head back in this position. If you look slightly down it will take the pressure off your neck. Hope that helps!
Holy cracker jacks some of those moves were fire❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 You truly have an amazing gift my dear! Thank you for sharing all these workouts with us💖 After the balance workout I am now feeling fantastic!
Thanks Claudia! There are a few bending and twisting movements you would be advised against (such as the move in the thumbnail picture). You would have to modify a couple exercises. here is the link to all my osteoporosis friendly workouts if you don't want to have to think about modifications: ruclips.net/p/PLdAl5SsVkdodnQgh9DSmuuIM2S_labr4K
This is great, but I have to skip or try to modify all the crunch/spine-bending exercises because I have osteoporosis. Do you have any mat pilates videos that are osteoporosis safe? I have done your standing balance/posture with weights one that's osteoporosis - safe and it's excellent.
Thank you Linda! At this time, I do not have a mat Pilates that is osteoporosis safe. It’s tricky because so much of Pilates involves rounding and twisting of the spine. I think I may do a standing Pilates that is osteoporosis safe in the future. I also just filmed another strength video that will be posted in about 2-3 weeks.
Hi Lauren, How do you get your leg higher when you do the side leg lifts. I notice your leg goes above your hip joint. My leg goes slightly below the hip. I’m trying to lift out and up but the leg goes only so far. Thanks,Jeri
Hi Nicole, thanks for reaching out! As far as my knowledge goes, Cervical spondylosis can not be cured, and as certified fitness instructor, I can not make any claims that my workouts can heal anything. However, posture exercises (in a lot of my barre and pilates videos) can be very helpful with your condition. I hope that helps!
I love this work out so much done in such a little amount of time. The music is a little too loud and annoying though would prefer without any music at all.
Hi, because of my Carpal tunnel systom, am advised to keep my wrist in neutral, can I do the bird dog exercise by placing the hand on the mat in a tight fist position?
Yes your hand in a fist works just fine if that is comfortable for you. For the back leg lift part it would work well if you lowered down to your elbows/forearms to take the pressure off your wrists.
Great workout, thank you! ❤ The background music was a bit too loud thou 🙈 almost drowned your voice when me and my mum moved around and did this workout together 😊
Thank you very much for all the exercises. They really help a lot. But I have also a complaint to make. Sometimes the music is even louder than your voice and this is disturbing. I prefer lessons without music or if it must be than something more silent. Thanks again.
Yes, the mix seems be off in a few of my workouts, especially the older ones. I also have people comment that the music is too quiet. So it’s really difficult to make everyone happy. I appreciate the feedback.

Great workout. I have a difficult time😢. Getting shot over my hip in about 10 days.🙏👍
What are you having difficult with Ruth? I may be able to offer you a modification
Usually i am able to follow; hoping after the orthopedic surgeon gives me a shot. Thank you Lauren @@SeniorShapeFitness

This was tougher than I thought it would be! Ended up working up a little bit of a sweat.

I promised my dietician to add workout two days a week. Thanks for one I can do! 😁
Great Amy! I have many more like it 🤩
The knee section was intimidating, but I managed to do it 😊
Nice job Nancy, I'm so glad you tried it!
Do you think this should be added to the abs & core playlist? Lots of ab work for sure!
I should! Thanks Carlene :)

That's okay Jeri! Everyone's body is different. I tend to be really flexible in my hips. As long as you are feeling it, you're doing it correctly :)
As Kelly said Holy Cracker jacks Lauren. Those moves were 🔥 on this active recovery day.
You may need a recovery workout from your recovery workout :)
