Simply brilliant exercise routine! I just loved it! I have lower back issues and cannot do regular Pilates anymore, this was very refreshing! Needed this to strengthen and lengthen as well as stretching my tight muscles. Lauren you are amazing and a bright light to all of us who need someone who understands and teaches modified moves! My body feels better already! Thank you so much! You definitely are making a difference here! 💖🌸💖🌸
I just had my 90th birthday and now have to do chair yoga because of bad knees. Your chair classes allow me to continue a yoga practice, and I am grateful.
Thank you. My 98 year old mother and I (77) have been doing your exercises 6 days a week and yesterday she walked around the block which she has not done in several years. Thank you.
I am 75 yrs old. Have been doing your workouts for a year. Love the pace, the moves, and the explanations of what muscles we are working. Your workouts are salvation for seniors. Val
I have bone on bone joints, 75 years old.. Was always very active and strong. Now with sciatica and arthritis, i am in pain of some kind all the time.. Your chair sessions makes exercise possible for me. I always feel better after doing this gentle program. Thank you so much for your videos
You are most welcome Vicki. I'm so glad you are enjoying my workouts and that you feel better. Here is a link to another workout that is specifically for pain relief you may enjoy: ua-cam.com/play/PLdAl5SsVkdoc0unPB8Pbhs4mhr0I5DF8p.html
62 years old and this was challenging but I can see where it is doable! I have done yoga but want to try Pilates. I need to strenghten muscles and core. You have a pleasant encouraging manner and I love how you explain the movements and how they benefit us. Thank you!
Thank you. It worked each time I did this before my long walks. All my muscles seemed well prepped and relaxed. I felt so much ease. No stiffness and heaviness. Had no idea I held so much tension in my body that my muscles and joints were so tight. Shared with my walking buddies as well. Well done👏👏👏
I sit at a desk job in front of a computer most of the day and came across your video. Thank you so much! Didn't change from work clothes and just did it! I feel energized and ready to write some more! Going to make it part of my daily routine! And ... going to share it with my 93 year old active mother!
68 years and I felt very good after these exercises. I will subscribe to improve my performance. Thank you for your teachings. watch from Lisbon/Portugal
Just discovered this terrific chair version of Pilates. I used to teach Pilates and am now much older and creakier--but I discovered that can do your chair version (whew!). Now I have hope for getting some of those Pilates muscles and tone back. THANK YOU! You have such a thorough understanding of body mechanics and joint issues for seniors, and these safe routines for older people and beginners can reverse some of the physical impacts of aging. What a difference. I'm telling my friends about Senior Shape.
@@SeniorShapeFitness Well, lovely Lauren, you are amazing to read our comments and quickly reply with kind thoughts and words. Your attentiveness, gentle voice, reassuring smile, and "stay with me" really make a difference.
Mary Lee, that's SO great that you taught Pilates and now can do the chair version!! I worked in Physical Therapy and have less-good knees with all the concrete floor walking/standing/leaning etc. I've done but I've certainly enjoyed Lauren's Pilates even though I have to do chair version. I WISH we had known about some of these moves back in the 80's, 90's for our patients!! I still do some Massage Therapy and am turning my fiends to these videos to encourage them to stay in shape and/or stay loose and flexible. And YUP, I'm older and creakier now too. hahahahaha! But in some ways, in better condition as well. 🙂
I used to exercise faithfully until I got very ill a couple of years ago. After a very long time away from all exercises this is a very comfortable segue back into a daily routine! Your voice is very soothing also which makes it easy and relaxing. Thank you for your expertise!
After many years away from fitness, I wanted to start back slow. I love Senior Shape with Lauren. There is such a warm, calming vibe in her videos that create my comfort zone and inspire me to continue. Thank you so much for your videos and helping others start or renew their fitness journey!
I have severe arthritis in both knees so exercising is a huge challenge. But with this Pilates routine I feel like all my muscles are moving and that I’m actually accomplishing some exercise!! Your instructions are very clear also…, thank you!!!!
I love your (almost) 30 minute Pilates chair workouts. Due to knee pain I had to give up traditional yoga. Since I discovered your videos, I feel like my core, hips and legs are getting an even better workout. I can feel the difference. Thank you! Your positivity makes your videos a great experience.
Love the Pilates!! Finding that my core strength is improving and flexibility is improving as well. I was diagnosed with PD 2 years ago and was a marathon runner after age 65. I am now as 78 and embracing any and all exercise programs so graciously offered. Thank you for the inspiration you’ve provided to keep moving 👍👍❤️
I Love all of your workouts Lauren. If I hadn't injured my Achilles, I don't believe I would have been doing the chair exercises. I've been doing all of your chair workouts & I am not disappointed. I really enjoy them all. Thank you Lauren for being so patient with seniors that look for people like you to workout with. You really are awesome!
You helped me with a move that I struggle with by simply dropping my lower ribs & not letting them flare out while lifting legs up and down. This was big for more today!
As one Pilates teacher to another... absolutely EXCELLENT! Super clear teaching. Has given me some ideas for my elders class in their 70s/80s. Many thanks Lauren! HNY to you 😍
Thanks so much, Lauren, for this workout and stretch. I am going through chemo and felt like a limp kitten this. morning. This has been medicine to me, giving me energy! I discovered you during my breast cancer journey. I look forward to doing more of your workouts! I'm normally a very active 76 year old. I've tried during this time to keep up with exercising and stretching and walking.
Good for you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this workout, it’s so important to keep your blood pumping even when you don’t feel like it. All my best to you on your recovery 😊❤️🩹
Thank you so much for this wonderful pilates class! I really enjoyed the variety of movements and the accessibility of this program. I am so grateful I found your Playlist of chair routines. You are truly a gifted teacher! Thank you for sharing these!
You're so welcome Rebeckah! I'm happy to help, and thrilled that my channel works well for you. Thank you for your kind words as well, I have the best viewers!
Excellent exercise for me-I have rheumatoid arthritis-so high impact-I cannot do. I can do this, and it’s a true workout for me!! You are such a great teacher too-thank you!
Thanks so much! Here is another video to try that I think you might enjoy Chair Pilates for Seniors & Beginners // Posture, Pelvic Floor, Core & More! ua-cam.com/video/UQZPR4_l94g/v-deo.html
I am not a senior, but am in my 40s with various mobility issues, awaiting surgery. Its very rare I find exercises I enjoy and feel I can do (usually giving up midway through in frustration) - but I love this workout, really feel I can manage, and your calm and gentle demenour makes it feel much less of a chore than other videos! Many thanks.
I am so grateful that I've found your channel! Your seated videos are perfect for me since I have knee issues and can't have any weight on them. Your workouts are original, with lots of interesting moves and combos, and they're really quite surprisingly tough! Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing this with the world.
I have been recovering from Covid for the past 3 weeks and today I was finally able to make myself do something. This was good. Thank you Lauren for inspiring us. 🥰
Throughout my life I have exercised. I have run, walked and jogged, done yoga, Pilates and Taichi. Since I'm aged, I have worked out by using Utube as a source for my workouts even with my hula hoop of more than fifty years. Although, I walk with Leslie Lansome weekly I have searched for methods of muscle training. Today I found it with you. It felt so great stretching my muscles like in yonder times. I 'm thankful to have found you after surfing Utube your preview attracted my attention which is why I'm saluting you. It was not the least disappointing. So happy to work with your calming voice to prompt harder attempts. When it was over, I felt energetic like younger days. Thank you.
Wonderful! I'm so happy you found me and felt great after the workout. Please check out my other workouts as well, I also have walking workouts and strength training. Thank you :)
Thank you so much for this!!! I loved it! I suffer from POTS and have to modify my workouts. This was challenging yet very doable. It’s so encouraging! Thank you. Will definitely be recommending to others. ❤😊
My wife and I live in North Pole Alaska 🎉we’re stuck inside for long winter ❄️ we absolutely love❤the videos !!! You’re so very very sweet and gentle !! Thank you thank you thank you !!!!
My mom and I have been doing daily virtual workouts for a year now. I always try to find senior videos she can do so we can do them together. This is our first video of yours and we enjoyed it! Thank you!
Wonderful! So glad to hear that you are improving Pat. Thanks for sharing too! I also posted a new seated pilates today, please make sure to check It out!
My first time. Thank you so much it was wonderful. I just learned yesterday that I have osteopenia ,. I do exercise and a few other things or I end up in a wheelchair. I turned 80 last week. I KNOW for certain I don’t want that. A very good friend recommended your program. We have agreed to a 30 day challenge ! Looking forward to 30 days and beyond‼️Again thank you.
Wow! I love that you are doing a challenge! Welcome to my channel, I think you will find lots of workouts that are great for you and you won't ever be bored :)
Once again, your gentle voice, music and demeanor is perfect for this 83 year old lady with a dreadfully bad back. Your seated videos give me a way to work out without much pain. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad I found your video. I love to paint and spend hours doing that every day and often without a break....just sitting, and I know that's bad for me. I'm 72 years old and really need to keep moving. This was a great stretch after sitting at my table all day. I've made a commitment to myself going forward to stop and do some chair yoga or chair pilates every day. Thank you! 🙏
For someone who is not a senior but works nights in an office environment I would say this is one of the best chair workouts I have ever done. I do love Pilates and have not done it for a while.
Have never done pilates before and now have to start with bed/chair exercises to build up strength. I have osteoarthritis, hypermobility and fibromyalgia. This was just right for my ability. Thank you 😊
My husband and I just completed our first chair Pilates for seniors. My husband has multiple sclerosis and has been in a power chair for six years. This is the first time we were able to exercise together. YOU made that possible!! Thank you so very much!❤
Great to hear Marcia! I've heard from several other viewers that they like my chair pilates for MS. Love that you did it together! Thank you and keep up the good work :)
I absolutely love all your chair yoga and Pilates exercises. You inspire me to continue each amend every day. I am 71 years young and I was diagnosed with stage 1A breast cancer. It’s all going well for my disease but these classes have helped me even more to a healthier lifestyle THANK YOU! ❤❤❤
I am 30 years old with limited capabilites to a bad heatstroke injury and I have recently been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos. I used to be very proficient with my workouts before. Now I thought I wouldn't be able to find an exercise that i could do without aggravating my injuries and conditions. My wife suggested looking into chair yoga and this is the first video I found. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have this. Thank you so much for these chair exercises. They are wonderful!
I am a healthy sixty-nine year old woman looking for low impact exercises. I, highly recommend all of these videos. I make the pilates, chair yoga, and the arm weight routines part of my daily workout. I have always done yoga, weights, and treadmill. These routines are not only great for strengthening but the instructor is warm and very relatable.
Thank you for your channel! I have been doing your Gentle Morning Stretch for 6 weeks. When I started to exclaim, “I can feel the muscles around my knees!” my husband began to join me. I have recently started a small class of senior women here in Jerusalem and we’re all enjoying. Nice music too.
I may have skipped a video or two. This was challenging, and I loved it. Gives me something to aspire to, even in my 70s! Thanks so much, Lauren. I'm a big fan.
Thank you for a wonderful ease into my day workout! I am recovering from a traumatic brain injury and the slower more controlled exercises are perfect.
Really loved this bit of chair Pilates! Feels good to know that there are alternative ways to exercise for people with bad knees! Thank you very very much
Hi Lauren. Thank you so much for your amazing videos. My 84 year old mom and I are following you every day and working out with you. It is our first time ever doing yoga and Pilates. She lives 500 miles away from me so we FaceTime with each other while working out with you. This way we can encourage each other and enjoy your workout together. Thank you so much
I do a Pilates routine with some weights on my bed in am. This routine I just did with you reached muscles I didn feel before. Thank you so glad I found your channel. I m 79.😊
Wow, great workout thank you. Getting older is not great when you can no longer do the usual yoga! But now I can mix and match your chair exercise programmes to suit how I am feeling each morning, what is not to love ❤
My left leg is in a cast so these seated routines are helping me keep in shape and retain muscle strength. Lauren keeps it so positive with her smile and encouragement.
Thanks so much! I've been morbidly obese for many years and wish I knew about this for my first 200+ lbs lost. I'm 420 now and have finally incorporated exercise and weight training. I pray you the best! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I am so glad I found you. I have arthritis in my knees and I need to lose weight. The chair workouts are perfect for me. You explain things so well. Thank you for making these videos.
I love your all your workouts, but especially the chair yoga and pilates! I've worked out all my life, but now at 68 I prefer gentle moves on most days. The results are amazing, my muscles do hurt the next day, and the moves encourage me to utilize my core and adjust my posture during the day. I honestly feel the ease makes me want to perform them consistently which in turn has produced visible results! I can then add some cardio and strength training, when possible, and I find I'm able to perform them better than when I was 40! My back and knees thank you! 🤩
Just started your chair yoga classes about a month ago. Today I tried the Pilates. It was a challenge, but I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for making them senior friendly!
Oh I just discovered this and followed! I love this. You have a pleasant voice, don’t go too fast, and the exercises are effective. Sticking with this one!
I am a senior with the problems and I just enjoyed your place class so much and I also enjoy the chair yoga as well. Thank you so much. I appreciate you take care.
Thank you Lauren for this workout. It really was a complete workout that hit all the spots. The glutes are still burning. I know you put this out a year or so ago so I wish I had seen it earlier. I have found over the years my hips struggle to do the floor Pilates/Yoga so this was a welcome relief that still works the hips without having to lay on them.
Once again, you have won me over!! I follow you everyday...and, I have bragged about you to the ladies in my aqua aerobics class...so, hopefully, they will be followers as well....thank you Lauren for all you do and keep doing!!! jayne
Simply brilliant exercise routine! I just loved it! I have lower back issues and cannot do regular Pilates anymore, this was very refreshing! Needed this to strengthen and lengthen as well as stretching my tight muscles. Lauren you are amazing and a bright light to all of us who need someone who understands and teaches modified moves! My body feels better already! Thank you so much! You definitely are making a difference here! 💖🌸💖🌸
You are so kind to say so Sherry! It is truly my pleasure. 🤩
Wonderful routine for seniors and it's not too strainous.Thank you very
Much. 🌹☀️💗

Just found Lauren and love her workouts. I have bad knees and hips so I’m thrilled to find these wonderful chair workouts.
I just had my 90th birthday and now have to do chair yoga because of bad knees. Your chair classes allow me to continue a yoga practice, and I am grateful.
Happy birthday Joyce! I'm so glad you still get to practice. Thank you for working out with me!
Thank you so much..I’m 81 years old and this program is wonderful for seniors.
You are an inspiration!
❤ HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL
Happy Birthday to you.
Thank you. My 98 year old mother and I (77) have been doing your exercises 6 days a week and yesterday she walked around the block which she has not done in several years. Thank you.

I love this progress! Encouraging!
Bravo to you and your mom.

My mom is now 100 and still does her Chair Pilates everyday and is able to walk around the block everyday. I give many that’s to this class.

Wonderful! Thank you for your kind words and your support Val! I really appreciate it 💜
Thanks for re-intoducing me to my muscles, Lauren! It's been too long, but no more!
Yay Anita! You’re welcome and I love your attitude 💜
Loved this, I’m in a wheelchair and too nervous to take normal Pilates classes. This is just right!
So glad it's a good workout for you :) I have many more chair videos too!
Not a senior, but have a bad back, bad knees and love for pilates. Used to dance also. You brought back me believing in myself❤❤
That is so nice to hear! Try this video as well, as a former dancer, I think you will love it: ua-cam.com/video/v8IxSzmV7Yc/v-deo.html
I'm 74 and today is my first attempt at exercise in a very long time. I loved your video. Thank you

Awesome! I'm so glad this worked for you Lydia. Check out my seated yoga videos. you may like those too!
Once again, your gentle voice, music and demeanor is perfect for this 83 year old lady with a dreadfully bad back. Your seated videos give me a way to work out without much pain. Thank you.
You are most welcome Ruth. Thank you for your kind words :)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad I found your video. I love to paint and spend hours doing that every day and often without a break....just sitting, and I know that's bad for me. I'm 72 years old and really need to keep moving. This was a great stretch after sitting at my table all day. I've made a commitment to myself going forward to stop and do some chair yoga or chair pilates every day. Thank you! 🙏
Glad it was helpful! Sounds like a good plan Jackie! I have many chair pilates and yoga workouts for you :)
For someone who is not a senior but works nights in an office environment I would say this is one of the best chair workouts I have ever done. I do love Pilates and have not done it for a while.
Great! Thanks so much. Here is a link to another (newer) chair pilates workout: ua-cam.com/video/UQZPR4_l94g/v-deo.html
Loved the video. I take Pilates 3 days a week and this is so helpful to keep consistent. Awesome instructor. God bless.
Thanks! I appreciate that :)
Thank you for your gentle voice and demeanor. I appreciate that!
Thank you kindly Beth 😀
Have never done pilates before and now have to start with bed/chair exercises to build up strength. I have osteoarthritis, hypermobility and fibromyalgia. This was just right for my ability. Thank you 😊
That's great Alexa! I'm so glad this is a good workout for you :)
I thought this would be very basic and easy. It was just perfect for me. There were challenges, but not too easy or too strenuous. Thank you!
Wonderful! Glad you got a good workout 🙌🏻
My husband and I just completed our first chair Pilates for seniors. My husband has multiple sclerosis and has been in a power chair for six years. This is the first time we were able to exercise together. YOU made that possible!! Thank you so very much!❤
Great to hear Marcia! I've heard from several other viewers that they like my chair pilates for MS. Love that you did it together! Thank you and keep up the good work :)
I absolutely love all your chair yoga and Pilates exercises. You inspire me to continue each amend every day. I am 71 years young and I was diagnosed with stage 1A breast cancer. It’s all going well for my disease but these classes have helped me even more to a healthier lifestyle THANK YOU! ❤❤❤
That is so nice to hear that my workouts have been helpful. I wish you all the best on your cancer journey :)
Thank you I just turned 60 a few weeks ago and it's my first time doing this exercise I have to say I really like it Thanks. 🤗
Wonderful! Thanks for trying it 🤩🙌🏻
I am 30 years old with limited capabilites to a bad heatstroke injury and I have recently been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos. I used to be very proficient with my workouts before. Now I thought I wouldn't be able to find an exercise that i could do without aggravating my injuries and conditions.
My wife suggested looking into chair yoga and this is the first video I found. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have this. Thank you so much for these chair exercises. They are wonderful!
You are most welcome! So glad they are helpful Elijah :)
I am a healthy sixty-nine year old woman looking for low impact exercises. I, highly recommend all of these videos. I make the pilates, chair yoga, and the arm weight routines part of my daily workout. I have always done yoga, weights, and treadmill. These routines are not only great for strengthening but the instructor is warm and very relatable.
Thank you so much Elizabeth, I appreciate your kind words and I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts :)
Broke my toe and your workouts are helping me stay active. God bless you ❤
Happy to have your working out with me Danielle! Wishing you a speedy recovery :)
My wife and I love this video. Stretches us just enough to leave us tired but able to get completely through the entire exercise.
Fantastic! Here is the link to my new chair pilates video if you would like a little variety :)

This may be an oldie but definitely a goodie! Thanks so much!
Yes! This is one of my favorites that still stands!!
Thank you for your channel! I have been doing your Gentle Morning Stretch for 6 weeks. When I started to exclaim, “I can feel the muscles around my knees!” my husband began to join me. I have recently started a small class of senior women here in Jerusalem and we’re all enjoying. Nice music too.
Wonderful! So happy to have you and your group working out with me! Keep up the great work :)
I may have skipped a video or two. This was challenging, and I loved it. Gives me something to aspire to, even in my 70s! Thanks so much, Lauren. I'm a big fan.
I appreciate that Kathleen!
Thank you for a wonderful ease into my day workout! I am recovering from a traumatic brain injury and the slower more controlled exercises are perfect.
Glad it's a good workout for you Lana. All my best to you and your recovery :)
Done! Felt good! I like working my muscles in all different ways! Your playlists help us accomplish that!!
Love that Pamela :)
Really loved this bit of chair Pilates! Feels good to know that there are alternative ways to exercise for people with bad knees! Thank you very very much
Glad you enjoyed it! You are most welcome :)
I too have bad knees, to be replaced this fall. This is wonderful way to keep moving
this was wonderful. not stressful at all. Think I will make this a part of my morning. Thank you.
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Liz 🤩
Hi Lauren. Thank you so much for your amazing videos. My 84 year old mom and I are following you every day and working out with you. It is our first time ever doing yoga and Pilates. She lives 500 miles away from me so we FaceTime with each other while working out with you. This way we can encourage each other and enjoy your workout together. Thank you so much
You are so welcome Teresa! I love that you are working out with your Mom and it's a way to stay connected. Keep up the amazing work :)
I love your workouts!!! not too hard & not too easy!! Thank You!!
Glad you like them!🤩
I do a Pilates routine with some weights on my bed in am. This routine I just did with you reached muscles I didn feel before. Thank you so glad I found your channel. I m 79.😊
Wonderful! Thanks for working out with me Juanita 🤩
Wow, great workout thank you. Getting older is not great when you can no longer do the usual yoga! But now I can mix and match your chair exercise programmes to suit how I am feeling each morning, what is not to love ❤
Wonderful! Glad you are enjoying my workouts Rosie :)
My left leg is in a cast so these seated routines are helping me keep in shape and retain muscle strength. Lauren keeps it so positive with her smile and encouragement.
Thank you Tricia! I hope your leg recovers well 😀
Thanks so much! I've been morbidly obese for many years and wish I knew about this for my first 200+ lbs lost. I'm 420 now and have finally incorporated exercise and weight training. I pray you the best! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Wow! Good for Charles. Keep up the great work and I wish you a happy Thanksgiving as well :)
I am so glad I found you. I have arthritis in my knees and I need to lose weight. The chair workouts are perfect for me. You explain things so well. Thank you for making these videos.
My pleasure JoAnne! I'm glad you found me too :)
I love your all your workouts, but especially the chair yoga and pilates! I've worked out all my life, but now at 68 I prefer gentle moves on most days. The results are amazing, my muscles do hurt the next day, and the moves encourage me to utilize my core and adjust my posture during the day. I honestly feel the ease makes me want to perform them consistently which in turn has produced visible results! I can then add some cardio and strength training, when possible, and I find I'm able to perform them better than when I was 40! My back and knees thank you! 🤩
Yay! That's amazing Pamela! I love your attitude and it's great to hear about your results. You are most welcome, and thank you for sharing :)
Just started your chair yoga classes about a month ago. Today I tried the Pilates. It was a challenge, but I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for making them senior friendly!
You're so welcome and thanks for trying it Darlene 🙌🏻
Oh I just discovered this and followed! I love this. You have a pleasant voice, don’t go too fast, and the exercises are effective. Sticking with this one!
Great! Thanks Sharron 🤩
I am 70 and I loved it! Now I go about my day. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks Jeanette :)
A beautiful stretch after a full week of workouts!
Awesome Darlene :)
I am a senior with the problems and I just enjoyed your place class so much and I also enjoy the chair yoga as well. Thank you so much. I appreciate you take care.
You are so welcome! I appreciate you working out with me Mary Lou :)
I love your chair yoga, walking and now chair Pilates. I’m an avid fan and hope you do even more chair Pilates ! 😊❤
Yay! Did you do my new chair pilates yet? I posted it in March. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/UQZPR4_l94g/v-deo.html
Thanks I’ll do that one tomorrow.
Healing, even though some parts are tough. I love the challenge. I'm 71, post hip replacement and knee replacement, so I need to move.
Thank you.
Lovely Nava. I'm glad this is a good workout for you :)
I’m so glad I found your workout! I have been doing Pilates all my life but the floor hurts my back now. Chair Pilates and yoga are great! Thank you!
Wonderful! I'm so glad you found me as well Grace :)
Thank you Lauren for this workout. It really was a complete workout that hit all the spots. The glutes are still burning. I know you put this out a year or so ago so I wish I had seen it earlier. I have found over the years my hips struggle to do the floor Pilates/Yoga so this was a welcome relief that still works the hips without having to lay on them.
You're so welcome! I’m glad it’s a good workout for you Laura 🤩
This is my 2nd day doing this exercise. I love it. I’m sure after awhile I won’t be winded & needing to stop a few times for this session.
Good job Susan! Keep up the great work 🤩
I love this! It's harder than it seems.
Glad you got a good workout Theresa 🤩
By far my favorite chair exercise!!
Wonderful! Thank you :)
This is a gentle but demanding stretch and workout. Lauren's videos are very effective.
Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed it!!
Once again, you have won me over!! I follow you everyday...and, I have bragged about you to the ladies in my aqua aerobics class...so, hopefully, they will be followers as well....thank you Lauren for all you do and keep doing!!! jayne
Yay! Thank you so much for sharing Jayne, I appreciate it!
Loved this routine! Thank you, Lauren for sharing your knowledge with us and for helping us to grow stronger. Your workouts are amazing😊
You're so welcome! Thank you for your kind words Patti :)
I really enjoy this workout. It's just enough for me. Thanks
Glad you enjoy it Michelle! I appreciate you working out with me :)
