- Let's strength train together and build muscle mass with this 30 minute workout!
All exercises are in a standing position and are set to a timer so you can go at your own pace. We will perform exercises for 60 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds. I'm using a set of two 8lb weights for this full body workout. Please start with lighter weights if it is your first time doing this workout or if you are new to strength training.
I hope you enjoyed this workout! Please let me know what you think in the comments. I love hearing from my viewers!

Hi, Lauren, I turned 84 last week and I feel fabulous. I’ve been working out with you for a year now and I’ve lost weight, my belly fat is disappearing and I just enjoy the challenge of trying to complete a workout with you. The stability ball has been the toughest one but I’m getting better. Thank you.
Hilary, I am SO impressed! You are my inspiration.
Amazing Hilary! Keep up the great work, I'm so proud of you :)
You are DEFINITELY INSPIRING to us all!
I am so motivated by you! Good for you, keep up the great work on yourself. 🫂
Awesome 🎉well done this was a tough one
Good morning, I'm 74 and just found you and am thrilled, you have me such a great workout. I was able to keep up. Thank you dear. See you tomorrow.
You are so welcome! Happy to have you working out with me Jill 🤩
I just finished this for the first time and I am sweating! Haha. I loved it. Doable but a challenge for this 75 year old!
Great job! Glad you love it and got a good workout :)
Okay ... I see an amazing group of followers below and I hope to be joining the team. I enjoyed the serious repetitions of workouts that were not easy but possible. I will see you again this week ... maybe tomorrow!
Wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me 🤩
This was so good! 42 yrs old and feel great after this workout🎉 I’m trying to tone and lean out a bit and your channel is perfect. I don’t want an aggressive workout but something that pushes me and still be able to do it again the next day. These slower, more concentrated workouts are perfect. Thanks 💕
I'm so happy you are enjoying my workouts Kelli! Your comment is exactly what I was hoping for when I created this channel :)
Me too , if it's too much I will give up because of trying to fit workouts in with kids, work etc there is little time and energy 😅
Nah u don't workout
I already see Ur face and nah
Although I don't comment as much I am here regularly working out with you Lauren. I love everything about your workouts. The music, your voice, your gentle nature, your challenging routines that somehow you make us do it 'easy'. Thank you!
You're the best! I always appreciate your support and comments Liliana :)
Ditto! :)
I have only just "met" you, and I thought this workout was fabulous! I love that you don't spend too long giving instructions. You give just enough. I really enjoyed my first workout with you! I had both hips replaced a couple of years ago, but take care. Thank you! I'm 75...🌻
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video Barbara! I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
Love this added challenge with the heavier weights, Lauren. You are an amazing teacher and so grateful for you.
I appreciate that Barbara! I am grateful for great viewers like you :)
Thanks. Great. I’m 81 years
Hello. Well I’m very pleased to have discovered you on UA-cam. I’m 66 and like to do weights a couple of times a week, but every teacher seems manic and loud or thinks we are all 21!! 😆 I so enjoyed your calm and careful approach. Thank you very much. Glynis from Melbourne, Australia
lol! I agree and that’s one of the reasons I started this channel! Happy to have you working out with me Glynis 🤩
This was great; love the standing workouts. I'm 67 and it's awesome to see comments from ladies 10-20 years older than me.
Great Karen! My viewers are amazing! I just received a comment from a 90 year old 🤩
😮💪@@SeniorShapeFitness
This workout was wonderful. Thank you for the reminders to keep the abs tucked and back straight, and thank you for your calmness and not over talking. So grateful for your workouts.
Thanks so much Stacy 🤩
This was awesome - loved it. I can see why it's a favorite in terms of view count! I've added it to my Joyful Movement playlist for repeating! 💙
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow don’t know how you come up with all these different routines! Thank you and used the 8 lbs! All the way! Grateful I didn’t do my walk first! Thank you I really enjoy your routines and the challenges to build strength as I am approaching my 75 th ! 🙏🙏🙏Many blessings Lauren 😊
Wow Margarete! I'm so proud of you :)
Lauren, I tried this video today. Outstanding! I cannot get enough. I have had two knee replacements, 68 years old. They do my knees good! I know that’s not proper grammar but I just want you to know I am so happy to be able to do your workouts. Thank you so much!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you are able to do my workouts as well Paula :)
Oh boy, I’m going to feel this tomorrow. Such a great workout. As always, I enjoy how you incorporate moves that aren’t used as often in conventional workouts. ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it and got a good workout :)
I have been working out on and off since my early 20’s. I have learned more about how to exercise correctly from you in the past year or so, than all the previous years combined. The big difference between you and every other trainer I’ve ever utilized, is that you are focused on helping others, while so many are focused on showing how fit they are and what they can do. Some trainers don’t even speak during their videos, you are just expected to do the best you can. You are a blessing Lauren. Thanks so much for what you do! 🥰
Thanks for your kind words Anita, you are most welcome :)
I'm so lucky to have awesome viewers like you!
I wish I could click another heart each time I repeat this one ... my fav workout with you. Thank you for offering these great workouts for us.
Awe, you are most welcome Donna :)
Damn!! Tougher than I expected. Loved it! Thanks Lauren, for helping me keep this older body in shape.❤️
Great job Debra 💪🏼🙌🏻🤩
Loved it! Wasn't too challenging but enough that I could complete it without feeling discouraged. Thank you!!
Great! Happy to hear you love it and got a good workout :)
These are so great! Thank you, Lauren!!!
You're so welcome!
I love your workouts! I've been doing them for 2 months consistently. I am not a senior, but I found your channel in search of strength workouts. I started with 5 & 8 lb weights. I am now able to do 15 lb weights with this workout. You're very good at explaining what to do and have proper form. Your workouts are very challenging! Thank you!
My pleasure April! Awesome job with 15lbs, that is amazing!
Another of my favorites!
Love all your total body weight workouts. Thanks for making this more on the challenging side as I am 59 years old and workout often. Please do more strength workouts! Thanks again!
Thanks Shyleen! I'm so glad it's a good workout for you :)
Love! Nice challenge … love these compound movement w/outs. A lot gets accomplished in a reasonable time. Thank you! 😍
You're so welcome! Glad it’s a good workout for you Lynn 😘
Thank you so much!!! This one was such a great balance of familiarity and new challenges. I’m a 50 year old cancer survivor (now cancer free) and your channel was my go-to during recovery from surgery. That was in early 2021 and I’m delighted to say you are still my go-to now. 😊 I initially started with your Pilates and stretching videos but quickly got deeper into the cardio and strength training workouts as well. You are a wonderful instructor and motivator. Thank you for always keeping things fresh and fun! -Rick
Thank you so much for your kind comments Rick! I’m thrilled to hear that you are cancer free and enjoying my videos 🤩
This was so great! I have been using 3 pound weights for my workouts. But today I did this one with 5 pound weights. It was challenging, but I did it! Thanks for creating such great workouts!
@@carolengroff6766 great job 🙌🏻
I especially love this workout and would like more of these.
Glad you love it! Check out my strength playlist to find many more like this :)
Good morning. My first workout and I loved it. Looking forward to doing more. Thank you for making these workouts available 😊
You're so welcome! Happy to have you working out with me Alice :)
Great workout this morning..Love this one Joelle!!
I can't believe how fast this workout went. It was so amazing. I really worked up a sweat. Love this workout. I have to say, Lauren, your workouts are THE BEST!!! 🎉🎼🌠🌟🌻
I appreciate that so much, and I'm thrilled you love it :) !!!
I will be 42 in March, I have tried so many youtube videos, classes, anything and everything, but really nothing makes me feel so good like your videos. I appreciate your calm and modest appearance, the aesthetic of the video, and of course the pace of the workouts. There is no show off, no screaming, no beachwear, no toop, toop, toop music. I also love being in a company of 70+ people doing their best for themselves, that is so so inspiring to me. After every video I spend 10 minutes enjoying the comments:) You are such a gift to the world, please keep doing this work. All the best from Skopje, Macedonia.
Thank you so much for your kind words Nikolina! My workouts are for everyone and I'm so glad you are enjoying them :)
This was a really good workout and I got sweaty…😅. I love full body workouts that incorporate everything! My heart rate hit all the zones too…lol. I used 8 and 10 lb weights…great job with this one!!!
Wow! nice job!!!
Loved this workout. I felt it really challenged me and I am very pleased that I managed it. 75 year old with dodgy knees!
Wonderful! Great job Kathleen 🤩
Loved it! Good challenge. Felt so good afterwards too! Thank you!
So glad! Thank you Leslie 🤩
Thanks Lauren, great video. I love your style and manner, great reminders of posture. I’m 72 …getting there. 🌹
Wonderful! Keep up the good work Melanie 🤩
Great workout lots of variety and challenges thank you👏
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks Mary 🤩
This is one of my favorites. At 72, I love that it challenges my body AND balance. You've the best
Happy to hear it :)
Looking forward to this workout. I have been following you since heart surgery just over a year ago and have built up enough strength to challenge myself with these! BTW, I have an Apple Watch and often don't know what workout to choose when monitoring my activity with you. Any suggestions? (or maybe you could put in the notes for each workout in future)
Great to hear! I have an apple watch too. Just go by the workout title. So for this workout, you would set it to "traditional strength training". Hope that helps!
Whoa. I am humbled. I really had to "do me" and drop to 5 pounds for most of it. I had my quarterly phone check-in with my Accordant Care nurse yesterday who says "Well I know you're so good about exercising, but I always ask, how has your exercise been?" And I'm "uh ... yeah ... what exercise." I've just let things go recently and decided to get back to it yesterday with Pilates and a walk. Today I dialed in for weights and this looked perfect. It is a perfect workout but I'm so deconditioned! A big wakeup call for me. Thank you Lauren. 💙
That's okay Patricia, don't be so hard on yourself! 5 lbs is great. Keep it up :)
Excellent workout! Challenging but not too difficult.
Keep em coming!
Great Denise, glad to hear it!!!
This was a great workout. I’m 52 and realizing that I need gentler workouts but find many a little too easy. This was just what I was looking for. I appreciate your modesty and calm demeanor. Great job and thank you
Perfect! Thanks Melinda, happy to have you working out with me :)
Lauren my dear
I am tremendously grateful to you for the variety of wonderful videos you give us to tackle any sort of problems we face regarding physical fitness...I am indeed surprised the way you challenge us with new movements but doable for seniors... Every time I turn to your videos..lo..I find a solution 😂
Service you are doing is highly commendable
Tq so much again.. for making us flexible and strong
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words Sandy and keep up the great work :)
This is a great, just challenging enough workout! I really love when you use the on-screen timer - it's so helpful!
Happy to hear it Jeanne :)
Love this workout
So glad! Thanks Marilyn 🤩🙌🏻
Loved this work out Lauren with the heavier weights, makes me gain more energy for the day
So glad!
Thank you! And all you ladies in your 70s...you give me lots and lots of hope!!
So glad Bryn! There is a lot of hope and hard work by all my viewers ;)
Love this workout- checks all the boxes- strength, balance and even some cardio. Thanks Lauren!
I’m thrilled you love it Susan 🤩
Really love your workouts. Just the right amount of challenge and easy to follow. Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thank you 🤩
Love this workout!!!
Awesome! Happy to hear it Karen :)

Just when I think I found my new favorite workout, another favorite comes along! Thinking I want to make it a goal to try each and every one ❤
That's a fun and achievable goal Karen!!
Thanks! Great workout today! Feeling my strength increase with every session.
So great to hear Sue!
Hi Lauren, I learned yesterday while listening to a health podcast, that seniors should do at least 2 days per week of strength training. I'm 66 and this was a perfect workout. It's challenging but doable.
excellent! Thanks for working out with me Vivian :)
Hello Lauren! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! Muchas gracias!
You are very welcome, so glad you are enjoying my workouts :)
Definitely a full body workout ✔️ loved the combinations. Great start to my week. Thank you Lauren. 😊
You are most welcome! So glad you got a good workout :)

Great workout! The combinations also keep my brain cells active:)
Perfect! Thank you Darby :)
Thank you so much for this workout. No HIIT thank goodness. Perfect gentle strength training ❤
You're so welcome! Glad it's a good workout for you Clare. I have many more like it :)
Hi Lauren, I recently turned 60 years old and my body is telling me to slow down with fast and furious strength training. I just found your videos and they are amazing for me !! I love your pace, variety and your workouts are still challenging. Thank you
Great Krista! I’m so you found my channel and the workouts are good for you! 🤩
Great workout for my 81 yr old body. Am increasing my weights slowly. Balance and strength so important at my age. Want to travel as long as possible so don’t want to be compromised
wonderful! Good for you Margaret :)

Thank you Lauren, I’ve just found you. I’ve done 3 days in a row and will be faithful!
Fantastic! Thanks Terry, happy to have you working out with me :)
This new workout just about kicked this 63 year old's arse! Dripped sweat! Another great one Lauren!
So glad you got a good workout Kim!!
🙌 whoo - thank you! what workout.. really felt that in the shoulders and arms!!
So glad you got a good workout :)
Hi Lauren! I absolutely love this strength training work out! The technique of each workout was FABULOUS, from beginning to end! Out of all the trainers that I've experienced online, you are by far the BEST,!💪👍💪
Thank you so much Thelma! I really appreciate that :)
Girl. You are so gentle and I think I got this and then your inner beast comes out. Great tough workout which is what I needed. Your ease and personality is what makes these workouts enjoyable and doable even these tough ones. Keep it up and never change!!
Great job Melinda! Glad you were up for the challenge and thank you for your kind words :)
Hi Lauren
Just found your workouts last week and am so grateful ! The best for me that I’ve found. I am 72 and having knee replacement surgery mid January. I know the conditioning will help me through the surgery and rehab.
Thank you ❤
You are most welcome Patty! I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying my workouts. All my best to you and your upcoming surgery. I agree, let's get you in great shape beforehand!! ;)
Really good, but tough workout. I had to take a couple of breaks, but I finished it. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Good for you :)
I enjoyed this one, Lauren. Tomorrow I’ll go onto the new week’s playlist; that’s so helpful in giving us variety and mixing in the right amount of weight training with others not involving weights.
Sounds good Jeanne! Have a great week :)
@@SeniorShapeFitnessThanks and you have a great week, too, Lauren!
Another day ... another stretch work out with Lauren ... Thank you!!!
Great! You're welcome Randy :)
Thank you for your beautiful and effective workouts! I am the activity director at an RV Park in Arizona and plan to share this with those sweet seniors this winter. Please keep up your wonderful videos and sharing them with us.
My pleasure Sherri, I sure will :)
Thanks for challenging me. It was just right. Enough, but not too much ❤
You’re welcome 😊
As always new movement combinations and never boring! Wonderful, Lauren!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that Ebnet :)
Hi,Lauren, iam a begginer n iam enjoying it thoroughly...thanks
You're so welcome! 🤩🙌🏻
Great workout, Lauren! Thank you
Glad you liked it!! Thanks Gina🙌🏻
Thank you, Lauren. Im 71 and have been doing your workouts for a while, but this is my first comment. Weights have always been a favorite of mine and this one did not disappoint. Nice challenge with the heavier weights,
You're so welcome! I'm glad you like it Phyllis and I appreciate you working out with me :)
Oh WOW! This was good. Feel like my bum got kicked, but I stayed with it. Love all of the different moves. Thank you so much for the care and variety you put into these workouts!!!
My pleasure as always and thank you for your kind words :)
This was my first time moving from 5 to 8 pound weights. What a great workout! Thank you, Lauren, I'll look forward to more like this.
Awesome job Ann!!!
❤Ed this video! Your videos are the perfect combination of strength, stretching, balance, and cardio. Love the music choices and your cheerful demeanor. So glad this 60 year old active adult found your site!!
I'm so glad you found me too! Thank you for your kind words :)
Good Afternoon. Since today is my day to rest and recover my muscles, I watched this video as I drank some coffee. I fell in love with your format, calmness of presentation, pace, great energy...etc. 🔥💖 You are on tomorrow. Thank you .😊
💜💜💜
Awesome! I'm glad you are looking forward to it.
Challenging (for me) and great workout! I’m 78 and feel like your workouts are extremely helpful for my balance, strength and general well being. Thank you!
Wonderful! So glad you got a good workout Phyllis :)
I never thought about it this way. Brilliant video, thanks for the insights!
Thanks for another great workout. The heavier weight was a challenge, but so good!😊
You're so welcome! Glad you were up for the challenge :)
Thanks Madam for your strength training exercises, I am doing this for last 3 months ,it's helping a lot
Glad to hear that 🤩🙌🏻
Love this one, weight work but also bit of cardio, thanks. I love your channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
Amazing workout, thank you! I’m 63 and this was perfect!
Great! Thanks Tracy :)
Thanks so much Lauren.
What a workout. Targeting all the muscles.
Grateful for you. Encouraging & inspiring❤️
You're so welcome! I appreciate your kind words Lucie 😍
Hi Lauren, Noela from Australia here - fabulous workout! ...and it was challenging! I went heavier with my weights as it was at a slower pace and at the end felt strengthened, stretched and energised. The start of this working week for me will be my Senior Shape Workout Week - I'll do a programme of your workouts alternating between strength, cardio and "be kind to myself" workouts :). Great working out with you.
Sounds like a great plan Noela, so glad you liked this workout too!!
My greetings and thanks Lauren for such a nice job. You never cease to surprise us with so many alternatives. A hug, happy day
Thank you! You too Mario!
Creatividad, eficiencia and excelente. Thank you!
Thanks Monica :)
Thanks for getting back to me! I feel like you are a celebrity. As far as an emphysema work out it really just involves strength training to help with oxygen to the muscles and breath exercises. You have plenty to choose from. You are a professional and do know enough. Thank you, Lauren. We plan to get at with you again today. We feel like you are with us in our living room. Keep up the good work. Mark and Jana
lovely to hear. Thanks again Mark and Jana :)
Thank you. I enjoyed this workout very much. I like your calmness, the soft music, and the exercises are not strenuous. You are a very good fitness instructor. ❤
Thank you so much Esther! Glad it's a good workout for you :)
Really enjoyed this workout, as working with weights is so important. I “did me” by adapting the weights due to ongoing shoulder injury. Thanks, Lauren 🤩
You're very welcome! so glad you enjoyed it :)
Really enjoy your standing full body strength workout ! Excellent! Don't enjoy being on the floor because of back issues, so your all standing workouts are simply perfect! Thank you Great workouts, easy to follow along ! 😊
So glad you are enjoying them Julie! Check out today's new anti aging workout. Just do the first 30 min (all standing) :)
Loved this workout 😍 so good when you've been at a desk all morning. I really need to go through your playlists and find more of these.
Yay! Thank you! You can lots more in the “strength “ playlist 🤩
Loved this challenge. Especially love all your standing workouts for strength. Thank you so much!
So glad! Thanks Kiki 🤩
Thanks Lauren, a real challenge with 8lbs. 💪🏾 I always look forward to your weekly workouts!!
You're so welcome! Glad you got a good workout 😍
Love standing strength training workouts like this one! A little more challenging would be good.
Great! You can always do a second set and/or increase your weights to make it more challenging 🙌🏻
As a 75 year old I always neglect strength training, but have it on my list now. This workout was just the ticket! Thank you!
Perfect! Good for you Becky :)
Hi Lauren, I turned 79 on Sunday, and I just started working out with you. This is my third workout, and it was the hardest so far. I started with 1 pound weights on the recommendation of my doctor, which seems very wimpy, but by the end of the workout, I’m glad they’re only 1 pound. I’m looking forward to eventually working my way up to heavier weights and really enjoying working out with you. Thank you.
Wonderful! Happy belated birthday Sally :) Keep up the good work, it will get easier as you grow stronger :)
