- Thank you for joining me for this great full body strength training workout. After a nice dynamic warm up we will perform compound exercises for 60 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds. There is a timer for each exercise so you are able to go at your own pace.
I'm using one 8 pound dumbbell in this workout. Please use whatever weight you have and are comfortable with. If you are unsure, new to working out, or new to my channel, then please use a lighter weight such as 3 or 5 pounds. You will still get a great workout!
There are a few exercises that have modifications if you have osteoporosis or spinal health ailments. Please keep an eye out for the modification boxes that will pop up on the screen. These modifications allow you to move safely with bending or twisting your spine.
I hope you enjoyed this workout! Please let me know what you think in the comments. I love hearing from my viewers!

Just had to comment again on what a wonderful workout you put together. I am so happy to find you really seem to understand the aging body. I have always tried to stay fit. It’s so hard to accept that we do develop limitations but you arrange the moves that feel safe yet challenging for me. Thanks so much Lauren. Really find you demeanor so calm and encouraging. 😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind feedback and I'm thrilled that you are enjoying my workouts Peter :) I created this channel exactly for viewers such as yourself.
Isn’t she though!!!
Me three👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@indoorsygirl5490 me 4!!!
5!
Took my laptop outside and exercised in the sunlight. A very satisfying way to start the day!! 81 years old here.
I love that Carleen! All great things for your body :)
Lauren, Your workouts have become part of my daily practices for the last 8 months now. By the way, as I mentioned a while ago, I'm also seriously engaged in writing my book on Aging Pro-Actively. Your exercise routines have the wonderful effect of keeping me balanced, clear and focussed for this daunting task!
Wow.. 81 years young!
Thank you Carleen. Your words just encouraging me who's around half your age to be a better person to myself through Lauren's excercise videos. I've been trying the videos for these couple months and sharing with my peers. Let's have FUN! ❤❤
❤ Life changer! I found your channel 6 weeks ago, made a commitment to get up to 30 minutes a day 5 times a week. I made it plus! Never been a fan of exercise. Don’t like the gym atmosphere, sweating, or pain. I’m 68 and this is the first time in my life I have achieved this goal. I’m teary writing this. Today I did your 5 minute warmup, 10 minute HIIT, and 25 minute standing strength with a dumbbell. I feel so good. A real difference from before SeniorShape. Thank you! I’m so glad I found you.
Wow! you are making me teary too! I'm so proud of you and I'm thrilled that you are enjoying my workouts! Keep up the great work and let me know if you ever need more direction or video recommendations. I'm happy to help!
Lauren, you are a pleasure to work with.
I love standing workouts and dumbbell workouts, so I chose this one. And I really liked her. Thank you very much! Have a good Sunday!
You're so welcome! Glad you like it, and I hope you have a great Sunday as well :)
I am 25 years old but I love your videos. Keep it up. You make me wanna become more active.
Yay! I love to hear that! Thanks Adriana :)
I’m not a senior but I love these exercises!! Awesome 💪🏼
Great to hear! Thanks for working out with me :)
The best half hour of the day, thank you and God bless you Lauren. Greetings from the UK.
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Les :)
Lauren, you are marvellous at producing these structured exercises. Thank you - from a 73 year old Englishman. You are quite exceptional and I have not seen anyone else quite like it. Nice music and very well prepared routine, all of which is quite doable. Your balletic movements and amazing balance is lovely to watch. I am always telling my family and friends about Lauren! I will be back for more excercises tomorrow morning and almost every day thereafter.
Wonderful! Thank you again for your kind comments Martin, I'm thrilled that you are enjoying my workouts! Keep up the good work :)
Love how you always change things up and bring in new moves. Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks Donna :)
I felt my body waking up and saying YES!!! Glad I found your channel. The movements and pacing are top notch.
Awesome! Thank you Yolanda!!
GM ☀️Thank you for including a modification window! It’s a nice addition for those of us who may need it😊
Good morning! You are most welcome Norma, I'm glad it is helpful to you :)
Complete delight! At 77 years old I am a ballerina! There were fears that I wouldn’t be able to cope, but everything worked out! And since all the movements were completely new, the brain also enjoyed exercising. That’s how I met Barre! Thank you so much to the wonderful and talented coach Lauren!
Yay! love to hear this!!! You are most welcome :)
Love your workouts and particularly this one as it's osteoporosis safe. You have a very calm reassuring manner - not all shouty abd bouncy like some. Thank you
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled you are loving my workouts :) Thanks Lesley
love all of the senior workouts, just started with dumbells they are great as are the others i have tried!!!! Just turned 65 and I'm loving so many of your videos...thanks
Great Debra! Thank you so much :)
I am so glad I found this channel, too! I am a senior, and all her exercise videos they are amazing. I would like to see more walking videos. I would like to do a 4 mile walk. Thank you, Lauren.
Thanks so much! I have a new walking with weights video coming, it’s shorter though, about 25 min…
A longer one is on my to do list 😀
Thanks for all the adaptations for those of us with osteoporosis. I watch many you tube workouts and often say "well I can't do that move"!
You're welcome Holly! Here is the link to all my osteoporosis friendly workouts: czcams.com/play/PLdAl5SsVkdodnQgh9DSmuuIM2S_labr4K.html
That was awesome! Thank you for workouts that are so good for those of us 60+! Appreciate all that you do❣️
You're so welcome Wanda! I’m thrilled you loved it 💜
❤ your workouts!!!
Thanks so much Kelly :)
love, love, love your workouts. I am going to be 65 in August and I have never been this healthy!
Wow! Amazing to hear Loretta :) keep up the good work !!!
Lauren, I am a 56 year old who is in remission from ovarian cancer. I have not exercised since I was in high school because I always hated it so much. But when my doctor told me I had to in order to stay healthy I needed to find something I would stick with. Since I found your channel, I have been doing your workouts every day and I absolutely love them and feel fantastic. Thank you for helping me stay healthy!
That’s amazing Meryl! I’m so proud of you! Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best in your recovery, let’s keep it in remission! 💜
Thank you for the modifications! As an active 64 year old woman with osteopenia, I am always looking for bone friendly workouts.
You're so welcome! I'm glad this is a good workout for you Kathy :) If you haven't found it already, I have a playlist that has all my osteoporosis-friendly workouts.
First time working with you on this video! Very nice!! Thank you. Happy Valentines Day!😊
Thank you! You too Carol :)
Great workout and with modifications too Thankyou ❤
glad you like this one too Nicola :)
And another super workout 😊😊 You’re still the Best!!👍👍😉

@@SeniorShapeFitness 👍🩷
Thank you so much for this workout! It was great!❤❤❤❤
Glad you think it's great Kim :)
Love the sassy girl stretch!
yay! Me too Melissa :)
Love this workout. Functional mobility moves. Great workout. ❤
Thanks Kimberly! I'm thrilled you love it :)
Such a great workout. I feel so fortunate to have found you and your workouts! So good for this brutal aging process I am going through. Thank u again. 😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊
You're so welcome as always Carol :)
Love that you are creative enough not to repeat the same exercises. The routine flew by and was just challenging enough.
Wonderful! Thank you Kathleen :) I try not to do repeats, I find them terribly boring ;)
10 lb weights. Feeling strong! Thanks again for all your productive videos! 😊😊😊😊
Nice work Carol and you are most welcome :)
I only recently discovered your channel, Lorren, but I already really like it. Great workouts that are easy to follow (I'm 77) yet very comprehensive and effective. Thank you very much!
Glad you like them! You are very welcome. I'm happy to have you working out with me :)
Excellent workout. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Another GREAT low impact strength workout. Thank you!
You're most welcome Dina :)
I like the slow pace in doing the exercises, and I am not looking on the timer, until the cool down.
Excellent! Thanks Ella 🤩
So happy to have found this channel, I will turn 60 this year and need to start incorporating weights... Your work outs are just what I was looking for..thank you much
wonderful! Happy to have you working out with me Laura :)
Love your workouts and have been sharing them with my sister! Nice getting back in a workout program in my mid 50's.
Wonderful! I'm thrilled you love my workouts Sandra! Happy to have you and your sister working out with me :)
LOVE the variety of ways that you target the muscle groups! Never boring!
Yay! Thank you for appreciating that 🤩
I am 66yrs and have mostly been reasonably fit however over the last year I had injuries and other physical problems which made a big impact on my fitness level. Since finding your programme a couple of months ago, it has been a godsend. Someone who totally understands
the complexities of aging. Thank you so so much Lauren ♥️
It's my pleasure Lorraine! I'm so glad you found me and are enjoying my videos. keep up the good work :)
Lauren, I just found this awesome workout. This one has all my favs - a timed workout, compound moves, weights, NEW moves. It was fantastic. I loved just the one heavier weight. Can you do more of this, please? Thank you so much. You are as much a part of my morning routine as my green tea, protein smoothie and coffee. 🙂 Deb
I think we have the same diet Deb ;)
So glad you like this workout! Here is a link to another 1 weight workout: czcams.com/video/XnxOVq3ktN0/video.html
I also have one that uses 1 REALLY heavy 12 lb weight. And I have 3 kettlebell workouts that all work really well with 1 weight instead of a kettlebell. They are all in the "strength" playlist.
Thanks, Lauren. I'll be sure to give them a try. Happy protein shake. :-) @@SeniorShapeFitness
I particularly love this workout, thank you Lauren. I am 69, very active, but with various health limitations that make some of the high powered workouts on the internet or in the gym unachievable. I particularly like the way you use compound moves, which actually distract from the effort you are really making! 😊
Great Gisela! I'm so glad it's a good workout for you ;)
Thank you very much for your help.God bless you.
You are welcome Marie :)
Every move you do just feels so right, including the dynamic stretches. Just loving these workouts.
So glad! That's really nice to hear. Thank you :)
Another winner!!! ❤
Thanks Glenys 💜
love this one! love a timer!
Great Susan! I also just made a playlist that has all my videos that have a timer. You can easily find them all in one spot :)
Wonderful workout today I showed my physiotherapist today the classes I do with you she said you are a fantastic instructor and loves how you do the alternative moves 👍⭐🙋
Yay! Great to hear Julie :) Thanks for the positive feedback!
I'm glad I did this because I was feeling tired and unmotivated. Feeling much better now. 🙂
Excellent! Isn’t is awesome that working out makes us feel better,?!? 💜
@@SeniorShapeFitness yes for sure- thank you Lauren.
I appreciate your direction and when a warm up and cool down is included.
Thanks Karen! I think warm ups and cooldowns are so important for our bodies, thanks for appreciating them 💜
Hello Lauren thank you so much for beautiful program pl keep on bringing and keep us all moving.
Thanks kanak
Thank you! Will do Kanak :)
This was such a terrific strength training workout and to have the modification box for osteoporosis and back ailments. Loved the educational info, such a great benefit to keeping us healthy, at any age♥
Glad you like it Susan :)
Just did this one for the first time today. Need a bit of practice with some of the combinations, but I know this is going to become one of my favourite classes. I like the countdown timer as it seems to help speed through the exercises. Many thanks Lauren
Great! Stick with it for sure Dave. Those last two exercise combos are a little tricky and will definitely get easier with practice :)
Great way to start my day after sitting in my office all week. As always, loved the video.
Glad to hear it! Thanks Peggy! 💜
I loved the one weight workout
Thanks Joanne! I think it’s fun to switch it up and just use one too 💜
Feeling positive! Husband told me your exercises are working for me❣️❣️ Thank U!
Yay! That's always nice to hear Carol!
@@SeniorShapeFitness ❤️
So pleased to have found this video. You have a calming studio set and your instructions and workouts are very easy to follow. Great workout, thanks Lauren
You are most welcome. I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts :)
I love your workouts!!! Newly retired from sitting at a desk so very much ready to move my body.
Wonderful! Thanks for working out with me Ann :)
Linda clase como nos tienes acostumbrado, dinámica, diversa y productiva. Siento el tiempo volar y el sudor me recuerda que he trabajado duro, muchas gracias...have a nice day....Mario
So glad you like this one too Mario :)
Love this strength workout. Quick and good to ease back in to my weight routine after being off of one for quite a while. I absolutely love you channel for those of us over 50 to ease back into working out without injury! Recommended to my 78 year old Mom as well!!!
Yay! I love that Michelle! So glad you are enjoying my workouts and thanks for sharing with your Mom. I have so many mothers and daughters that work out together using my videos, I think I need to do a special Mother-daughter workout!
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING WORKOUT!! I really appreciate the different moves to work the different muscle groups. Please keep doing these workouts to keep us all in good, healthy condition! I always pause the video just so I can get more reps in there. My arms feel GREAT!
Yay! Good for you for adding some extra reps! Is it time to get heavier weights? 🤩
Not sure how I have missed this workout as I try many of your videos but it was GREAT! Thanks so much for the variety you offer. I admire how you can find different moves but work the entire body so efficiently. Keep them coming!
So glad you liked it Ann!
we love your workouts. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
You're so welcome! Thanks for working out with me 🤩
The seated stretchy band workout had been my favorite but this video just took its place. This is challenging for me
but I really felt I did my body some good when it was over. I have a recumbent bike at home so I began with 10 minutes of cycling and then dove into this. I loved it-oh, and thank you for the modifications. They were a great help.
Excellent! I love that you threw a little cardio in before this too. Thanks Janet :)
Love the timer!!! Very productive video! Used 10 lb weight. Yhanks again! ❤😅
You bet Carol :)
Yesterday I tripped over a hidden something in the grass and fell and hurt myself but my husband thinks that because I do your workouts that I didn't injure myself more or break anything. (I am almost 77....) (but feeling like like i'm in my 30's or maybe 40's). Thx Lauren for your work with us seniors.
I'm so glad you didn't get hurt too bad. Sounds like you had a good agility and recovery response! When you are all healed, get back into it and keep up the great work!
again, i enjoy working out with you. as we age we need this king or exercise to keep out body fit and in motion. thank you.
Exactly Christiane! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Gracias Lauren , disfruté mucho la rutina
Most welcome Mario!
Now up to 6lb dumbbells, started at 2lbs. I’m 78,female,and my first time doing your workout. Sensational! Really appreciated all the detail you provided. I had my previous dumbbells of 5lb ready in case I couldn’t hack it. I only had to use those for about 8 minutes and the remainder used my brand new 6lbs. Thank you- I’m going to try and do this on alternating days with aerobics.
M.T.
Fantastic! I'm so glad you enjoyed it Mary :)
Thankyou Lauren great start to the week my joints where aching this morning but doing this class as really stretched them 👍🙋❤️
Happy it was helpful Julie!
Although this strength workout is for seniors. I was looking for a strength training workout for my fibromyalgia. I am only 29. However I am often start my workouts for seniors ,because of my chronic illness. I am so happy I found your guided workout! I liked how you modified some workout exercises in the video in case one wishes to go more gently on their body. The way you guided was very graceful and supportive. I felt very encouraged and shared a few smiles during the work out. I will keep up with this workout you created consistently, learning to be consistent. However your guided workout, guided me so greatly and gracefully that I am looking forward to working out on this video the next time! Years back, a fysiotherapist told me I should focus on strengthening my muscles. I forgot about it, never understood why with my fibromyalgia however I came to a realization perhaps now why. So this motivates me to get into it. I don't feel scared now with chronic pain the next day,; if my chronic pain should increase, because if I was too hard on myself I would feel my chronic pain more. I have learned the slow and gracefully movements work for my body and my fibromyalgia. It makes me feel safe to continue without increasing my symptoms. Thank you immensely for creating this. I had great joy doing your workout exercise.
🙏🌿
Wonderful! Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm so glad that my videos are helpful to you. Definitely keep up with the strength training, but may I recommend pilates as well? I have many viewers that also have fibromyalgia and find relief with pilates.
@@SeniorShapeFitness Hello,
I appreciate the kind words you provided and the recommendation you made. It is much appreciated! My experience with pilates is limited. If I am capable, I will definitely check it out and put it to the test! I am looking forward to my workout this week. I will try one of your videos on Pilates exercises guidance, if that's something you offer on your CZcams channel! Thanks again for your response!
I have been doing your workouts every day and love the results! What makes them special to an introvert like me is your calm, thoughtful manner and the tranquil colours and music that you use. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! I'm thrilled you are enjoying my workouts Linda and thanks for your kind comments and for the super thanks, I appreciate it so much! I can also appreciate being an introvert, it's still difficult for me to get in front of the camera and put myself out there.
@@SeniorShapeFitness ❤I appreciate the courage it must take and I am so glad you are willing to do it. You are changing lives.
Loved it!! Thank you😊
So glad to hear you love it! Thanks Teressa :)
I like this workout
Happy to hear it Liliian :)
I love your workouts. I really appreciate it when you describe the muscle groups used when working with weights.
Thanks Margaret! I'm thrilled that you are loving my workouts ;)

You're so welcome! Glad you got a good workout for your brain too :)
You are the most imaginative fitness instructor ever! I can't imagine how I stood it in all the other fitness classes I've been in--it was the same moves, e.e. with weights, over and over again. No matter who the instructor was! Thanks for keeping each video fresh. It keeps me coming back for more!
Great! I appreciate that so much! It’s no fun if it’s boring 😀
Still Keeping up the great work! thx Lauren-🙂

Dear Lauren. I am new to your channel and I love your content. Im in my 50's and I feel it the day after. Guess pain comes when the workout has been done properly. Congratulations and blessings from Ecuador ❤
Thanks for working out with me Sara, I'm thrilled you love my videos :)
You've done it again. Another fabulous workout. I think i need to grab an 8lb weight. I don't think 5 is cutting it anymore. I'm definitely stronger on my right side, brcause i always hold my grandson on my right hip. He's definitely a workout, especially now that he's Mr. Daredevil!
Thanks as always, Lauren!❤❤
Love that you are getting stronger Rene!!!
@@SeniorShapeFitnessthanks to you, and carrying 27lbs on body. It's so hard to believe that he'll be 2 in the beginning of January! 😊💙
