Full Body Strength Workout with Light Weights for Beginners & Seniors // Barre Inspired
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- You are going to feel great after doing this total body strength workout! Grab a set of light weights, (I'm using a set of 3lbs or 1.5kg) and chair or base of support for a few exercises. This routine will fly by with a quick but achievable pace and there are no repeats. The first part of the workout is standing where we will use our light dumbbells, then we finish on the mat with more strengthening for our butt, legs, core and back. These two sections total 30 minutes of work. The last 10 minutes is all stretching which will leaving you feeling relaxed, pain free and rejuvenated!
There are no timers in this workout, but I move to the beat of the music. Please go at your own pace if I'm moving too quickly for you. If you are feeling strong, you can use heavier weights, but always start with a lighter pair until you are familiar with the exercises.
Please leave me a comment, I love hearing from my viewers :)

You have done it again!!!! I loved this!!!! I keep challenging myself with new workout videos! I have been working out with you for almost a year now and I really see the difference!! Not only in my body but my flexibility and endurance! I am now up to 5 days a week and actually noticed that my posture and back achiness are so much better. I can perform my daily activities without looking for a nap or needing to rest my back!! Your videos have been a lifesaver for me. I love the way I look and feel at 59!!
( basically 60 in September! LOL!) I am so grateful for you and your videos! Being able to workout from home is wonderful!! Thank you again :))
Amazing! I'm so proud of you Rosemarie! It's great to hear about your positive results. Keep up the great work :)
It's amazing how keeping moving keeps you moving. Keep up the good work. 👍
Agree! Awesome
Hi Lauren, I feel like I repeat myself each time, but this was a great workout. For some reason, when I feel sore muscles in the morning I think "YES! I really targeted this area in my workout". My lower abs are feeling it today and I'm so happy. I know I also say this each time, but I am so grateful that you and your husband take the time to create these videos for us. I know it is very time consuming, thank you!
It's awesome that they do this. The videos are great.
Love that Cinda! I like to feel a little sore too 🤩
You bring out the 71 yr old wanna-be ballerina in me! Makes my 5' self feel taller, more graceful, more flexible and stronger! And I'm so appreciative of your beautiful and generous work!!
Thanks so much Cynthia! I'm so appreciative of wonderful viewers like you :)
Yes! That’s exactly what you do Lauren! You are such a huge blessing in my life!!!!
It's good you have this option to keep you young. 🙂
Lauren, thanks for all of your videos. I was recommended to do your workouts as I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in January. I have done your routines every day and found it has lifted my mood and calmed my anxiety with your calming voice and the encouragement you give. It has made me feel that I’m able to do things and given me confidence. Thank you so much for helping to make me feel like me again!
It's my pleasure Deborah. I'm so happy to hear that my videos have been helpful. Keep up the great work. I struggle with anxiety as well and find that moving my body makes such a positive difference :)
Nice challenge. Time flew by with the creative moves!
Thank you 🤗
I love it! 😊
What a fabulous
‘just right’ ‘Goldilocks’ complete body workout.
Thank you very much Lauren & to your husband for the great music.
Thank you so much. 😊
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you love it :)
This is my Day 2 of spending my mornings with these workout videos. They are exactly what I need! Challenging but not overwhelmingly so. Plus your calm and supportive energy is what I need in the morning. I don't need anyone yelling at me or being too enthusiastic. I need a calm presence letting me know what exercise to do and that I can do it. So thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm glad you appreciate my "style" :)
No wonder I was looking forward to this workout so much! Very impressive, interesting and enjoyable! Even the part of the workout on the mat turned out to be quite doable, of course not with the same amplitude as you, Lauren, but still I managed. Thank you so much Lauren! How lucky we are to have a channel with such a creative and caring coach.
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you tried it and enjoyed it :)
Thank you!
Just wonderful ! Great workout, tkx a lot Lauren !
I definitely agree 👍
Really appreciate this gentle and challenging new routine! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! You are very welcome Diah :)
Loved this! I now try to do new videos when they are posted. Some of them I discover are not for me, but many become new favorites. The variety of videos offered is one of the strengths of this channel. I think there is value in continuing to move your body in different ways .
Yay! I completely agree Barb! Our bodies were made to move in different ways. So glad you tried this new workout and loved it :)
Thank you so much. As a former dancer/teacher it was wonderful to feel that dancer feeling again. ❤
Yay! Love to hear that Charlotte :)
This is one of the best excersises for a quiet mondaymorning. Thank you so much. It gives me energy and a good mood. Lauren thanksss again for all. ❤🎉😅
Love that! You are most welcome :)
I began with your seated yoga when I broke my ankle in February and did those classes faithfully for 3 months while I was non weight bearing. Now I am rehabbing and very much enjoying the rest of your classes. I am so grateful to have found you, thankyou for your generous sharing ❤
Yay! Happy to hear you have leveled up Laurie :)
Awesome! Exercising from a chair is a great option.
Thank you so much, Lauren, for another fabulous work out! Your videos are the best!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Always wonderful and energetic workout.Thanks Lauren for helping us to stay fit
Any time! Thanks Laila :)
What a great combination don't know where you get your ideas from for the classes you are AMAZING 👏👏 Thankyou Lauren 🙋❤️💐
Thanks so much! 😊
This is a great workout Lauren! Your classes never disappoint. I look forward to your classes every time I tune to your channel and many of them I come back to. Gracias.
Yay! Thank you Barbara! I appreciate your support :)
I don’t know where you get all these ideas from but honestly Lauren they are fabulous. You never disappoint. I am so lucky that I have found you to work out with! Thanks so much.❤
Oh thank you Lesley! I feel I'm the lucky one to have such great viewers :)
This was exactly what I needed. I've been doing tons (could that be literally?) of yard work and pond clean-up the past several weeks. Clearing out and transplanting stuff while we still have some less than scorching heat in the mornings. I'm getting so close to my target weight. Good to be back at these workouts. This is a great one! The dance/Barre workouts are always a favorite of mine!!! Thank you!
Great Patti! So glad it's a good workout for you. Sounds like you needed it after all the yard work :)
Love the workout. Challenging and gentle. Just what I needed today.
Great job Marianna!
Lauren, I love this barre-inspired workout! As always, challenging but so satisfying. Thanks for continuing to create such creative and fulfilling workouts for us. :-) Deb
You're so welcome Deb! I'm thrilled you love it :)
Thank you for this great class! I love the combo moves and the floor work was easy to follow.
Wonderful! Happy to hear you enjoyed it Phyllis :)
Good morning loved this routine! Super happy only 3 lbs lol ! Thank you for your creativity and keeping us seniors young! Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Great! You are most welcome Margarete :)
I love this video barre …weights…stretching…floor work and chair it has it all ….I had Barre class today it’s work but doable this is great for the afternoon…as always thankyou 🙏. 6/6 today is my anniversary to my massive heart attack just a few short yrs back ..so lucky to be enjoying what I do love !!
Wow! Congrats on your health Alice, you take such good care of yourself :)
Thanks for another amazing workout. Very much appreciated the length of the stretch at the end so I didn't have to do stretching on my own...all in one workout! Was a great combination of strength and stretch. Thank you so much !!
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you really liked it Dina :)
This was such an enjoyable workout. Thank you for taking the time to give us a good warm up and a super good cool down. Everyone needs to understand how those two steps are so important not to hurt yourself. Thanks Lauren.
I agree! They are so important Cheryl! Glad you enjoyed it :)
More of this workout please, its great with light weights!
Thanks Patricia! Here is a link to another similar workout: ua-cam.com/video/ZINTLrr7W3E/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for this comprehensive workout. I'm 63-years-old and consider myself in decent shape but I have definitely skimped on the stretching and this video certainly gave me a wake-up call! I felt great after finishing and plan on including this video and quite a few of your others in my weekly rotation. Thanks again!
Perfect! You are very welcome Cheryl :)
It definitely helps to add stretching to our routines as we age. 👍
My favorite kind of workout ❤ I’ve done it twice this week 😊
Love that! Here is a link to a similar workout : ua-cam.com/video/ZINTLrr7W3E/v-deo.html
Once again, THANK YOU! Another great video. I'm so impressed and amazed at how you are able to find different body moves to work our muscles. Every time I do a new video of yours I love it!
Yay! That is so nice to hear Ann. I'm thrilled you are enjoying my videos :)
Hi, thks v much for all e videos made for senior. I m from Singapore n have been following ur videos for 1 mth n I love it. I will like to say that ur videos r easy to follow with clear instruction. Great job. Wishing u healthy n happy always.
Wonderful! Thank you very much Jane :)
Thank you for this beautiful workout, Lauren! I really appreciate the focus on posture muscles and the reminders to stay aligned properly and to keep the core engaged. That's the hardest part for me, as I always seem to end up with my tummy loose and flabby rather than engaged.😅 Thank you, again!🌻
You're so welcome! Core engagement is always a work in progress, your doing great Sindy :)
Thanks Lauren! Whenever we do a bar/ballet inspired workout l salute all dancers - their strength and endurance is absolutely fantastic.... not to mention their gracefulness and elegance. Not the same on my side 🤭😂 but l love these classes ❤
I'm thrilled that you love them. That's all that matters ;)
Definitely a combo of pilates, yoga, and Barre...good for body and even better for the mind.
I used the ankle weights for floor work as suggested yesterday! Thanks, Lauren
awesome! Glad you like it :)
This is another great one. I'm feeling different muscles, especially the inner thighs. Thank you, Lauren!
So glad Donna and love that you felt those inner thighs!!!
Thankyou Lauren decided to do this class again today I love it 👍Have a great weekend hope you've got better weather than us in England it's cold and dull ☹️see you on Monday 🙋💐❤️
So glad you love this one Julie! It's a little gray and chilly today where I am as well.
I am new to ytube for senior workouts with Lauren
I Really enjoy your workout for dance, my coach encouraged me as a senior to do your workouts for seniors.
Thank you
Great Debra! Happy to have you working out with me :)
Thank You! I enjoyed this whole workout! You make the routines easy to follow and they are gentle on the body!
So glad you enjoyed it Susan, thank you!
This was another excellent video! I liked that it covered everything-strength, balance, core and the great stretching at the end! Feels so good! Thank you again for providing these wonderful workouts! You are always my go to for workouts! Your gentle, encouraging approach is so appreciated! Keep doing what you do! 🥰
Awesome! Thank you Carrie! I appreciate your kind words :)
Thank you Lauren for another great workout!
Glad you like it Sandra!!
I loved the longer stretch at the end.
So glad! If I'm being honest, I think the stretch was longer because I didn't plan it. The rest of the workout was choreographed ahead of time, but the stretch was on the fly!
@@SeniorShapeFitness that shows how amazingly talented you are to be able to create such a great stretch routine on the fly.
all these execise is good keep doing them amd you will feel great ,
Another wonderful workout ! Enjoyed the weights and the mat work. Thank you, Lauren!
So glad you think it's wonderful Mary :)
Loved it. Nice long stretch at the end too. Thanks Lauren. 🙏
Great! I'm so glad you love it Jennifer :)
Another great one! Wonderful way to start my day! Thanks Lauren!
So glad you like it!
My new favorite workout from start to finish. Masterful! Thank you so much!
Yay! Love that Theresa :)
LOVED this one! I don't know why I avoided it all week. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks for trying it Joy :)
Anothet great workout Lauren! Love all your videos! ❤❤❤
Glad you like this new video too Michelle!
Thank you for another great Barre workout, Lauren. I liked the mat portion better than the standing just because of Sciatica issues. I appreciate that once you come down to the mat you stay down unlike other trainers that love to go up and down like a roller coaster.
I totally agree! The up and down is no fun for anyone :)
It's definitely a better pace for a lot of people.
@ChittarupaYoga do you have a yoga channel please?

The dance workouts are so good at targeting muscles I don’t generally reach…beginning to see changes in definition. Thanks!
That's awesome Cindy! Keep up the great work :)
Just saw it and I am still at work...I cannot wait to go home and work this out!!! Seems amazing !!!!❤
Yay! Have a great day and I hope you get to enjoy it later :)
Super, as every each if ye workouts!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for another beautiful workout.
I did your pyjama stretch today during a break from writing a book for women living with infertility and endo (this has been my journey) and wanted to come back to this dancer routine this evening.
What a perfect way to relax before bed. This was wonderful. I discover muscles I forgot I had and there's no stress, your workouts are low impact and yet feel so effective. I think my posture is improving after only a week and a half of exercising along with you.
I've avoided active exercising for a long time due to pain but this has helped me in so many ways.
Moving your pelvic organs is important with endo and your routines help me achieve this and so much more.
I'm overjoyed to finally be exercising regularly again.
thank you so much, what a lovely comment! I appreciate you writing a book and helping women with their struggles. It's so important and so many women go through infertility problems and it's not talked about enough! It's a difficult and lonely time for sure.
I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts and all my best to you, your book and your pelvic health!!
Thank you, Lauren, you are the only instructor who motivates me to do floor exercises. It's convenient to do standing exercises but the floor ones are really beneficial. Thank you so much for offering these wonderful classes that you share with us! 🌻
You are most welcome Jacqueline! And great job getting on the floor :)
Amazing as always! Thank you so much! I appreciate every single routine. ❤
Yay! Thanks so much Maribel :)
I always feel better after one of your workouts. Enjoyed the standing portion. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to even if a bit awkwardly do the floor too. Just slightly modified a couple like knees bent instead of straight for the crunches to keep the sciatic nerve happy. The legs in the air was actually a great overall stretch. Thank you for another Barre workout.
You bet Anna! Glad you were able to modify to make it a great workout for you :)
Loved this workout! Especially loved the extra time devoted to a good stretch at the end!
So glad to hear you love it Karen :)
Another great workout! I absolutely loved it! I really like the way I feel after your barre/pilates workouts! Thank you!
Yay! That's great to hear Kathy. Thank you :)
First time doing this workout. Love it. I am in PT for frozen shoulder and have some back issues. I keep on going at 72. lol. I will definitely be doing more of your workouts.
Wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me Beth :)
This workout looks amazing!!
Will be doing it tomorrow morning!! Thank you!!
Hope you like it Dina :)
Always, look forward to workouts! Enjoy the way you combine the exercises!!!❤️
Yay! Thanks so much Helen :)
Love this!!! Have been using all of my new-found strength and flexibility for fun family events these past few weeks! I have been doing all of this training and prep just for this summer!! More adventures to come and I am ready!! Strong for summer!!! 💪😎💪😎💪😎
Wonderful! Love that you are strong and ready Staci, you have been working so hard :)
@@SeniorShapeFitness I started planning a year ago and your encouragement (and your videos) were why I kept at it. This is functional fitness-- the ability to do the things you love with the people who matter. ❤️
Perfection!! Thanks Lauren

I forgot to add - this comment from me, Anne (despite the photo!)
Glad you liked it Anne :)
Another new favorite ... thanks! ❤
Awesome to hear! My pleasure :)
I am not in great shape Lauren, but I could easily follow along. I am not saying ti was an easy work out but I could do the whole thing which for me was so encouraging! I broke a good little sweat too! Love the Dance aspect as I used to do Modern Dance and I took Ballet in my youth and really miss that aspect in exercise programs I 've tried. Thank you!!!
Great Michele, I'm so glad it's a good workout for you! I hope you try my other barre workouts :)
@@SeniorShapeFitness I sure will!
Ahhmazing class!! Thank you Lauren!! 💜😘
Yay! Thank you so much Rhonda :)
Oh yeah, this is just what I needed today! Little strength, little flexibility, I feel great and refreshed. Thank you!
Perfect! You are most welcome Joanne :)
How do you do it, Lauren? Another amazing workout! So comprehensive & fresh & all packed into 39 minutes! It was ALL great but I especially appreciated the deep hip muscle work. A lot of those exercises mirrored those from my physical therapist but it's so much more fun to do it with you! So thanks again for keeping this old broad strong & fit & enjoying the journey!
Yay! Thank you Jeannette. I'm thrilled you think it's amazing and I appreciate your kind words :)
lovely!!!!! thankyou very much I feel great after this workout!!!!
I'm so happy to hear it! Thanks Dinorah :)
Thank you, Lauren, for a really great workout!
