Great warm up... I do it to break up hours of being sedentary too. It has a lovely flow to it. Thank you.

Very much enjoying all your videos, Lauren, especially the extended one and two mile workouts. Please keep up your great work!

I really like this warm up. Could you do more 5 minute warm ups? Thanks.

Just perfect for a literal few minutes- enough as a warm up or a rare find for when you're too weak for anything more. Just getting over a very bad flu-like cold to begin getting g me back into my 1+ hour long exercise sessions. Good the movements were in time to the music as when it's not it's worthless for me. The neutral, medium tempo music is perfect for those first few minutes of exercising as everyone seems to react positively for it. This is the first of the videos I've used from this channel and I'm subscribing. Thanks for making a rough morning starting with pain into something much better.

You NEVER fail to offer a workout that totally suits my needs. This is, as most of us know, a crazy (but fun) busy time. I was looking to get in at least 45 minutes of cardio and strength total. I found two that fit today"s need perfectly>>>a Strength workout using heavier dumbells (or kettlebells) and a Latin dance for cardio. Boith were quick but fun and effective. Love your workouts, Lauren...wishing you and your family a wonderful Holidy

Thank you for the warmup! On to the next one!

This is great quick warmup! I like that it’s only 5 minutes. I find I need to keep my workouts around 30 minutes. I love mixing and matching your workouts and have been doing these for a year and feel so much better than I did when I went to the gym. I recently went to the chiropractor for a tweaked hip and told him about your site. He pulled it up right then to view it as he could see how much it was helping me. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep telling my friends and family.

Good morning! I just wanted to reach out and thank you for your fantastic workouts on SeniorShape! I especially appreciate the 5-minute warm-up video. It’s such a wonderful resource for when I’m short on time or travelling, and it’s perfect for squeezing in a bit of movement even in tight spaces—I've even done it in an oversized bathroom stall! Your warm-up video has become a part of my daily routine, whether it’s before a walk or as a quick pick-me-up.

If you ever consider adding more 5-minute routines, I’d be thrilled—having even a couple would add some variety. I also wonder if you might consider a 5-minute seated stretch routine? Something that could be done on a bus, train, or plane seat would be incredibly useful for travel days.

Thank you again for your work and your fantastic videos. You’ve made fitness so accessible and enjoyable!

Sincerely,
Ly

Perfect quick warm up! I was looking for something like this to add to my routine and I have to say again, as someone who used to skip them all the time, I just love your warm ups and cool downs, both stand alone and in your longer videos :)

[margaretek]

Awesome warm up thank you, Lauren 🙏🙌🙌🙌

[spikeisaak]

Loved this. Thank you! Happy 4th of July, Lauren.

Nice warm up, thighs always sting in the morning when trying to warm up with big moves, love it. Would love to have some back warm up, maybe cat and cow? And maybe circles loosen up those hips.

[K_Lee]

Lauren, thanks for the new warm up. Do you have a good stretch routine specially for after a hard walk or jog?

[lorilavigne]

this was great and i would love more like this, could you add 5-10 mins of abs at the end of next one please

[liztownsend]

Nice warm-up to add to Favourites! And well done on hitting 40k!! Seems like only yesterday you hit 30! It's well deserved recognition of the variety and quality not your content! Xx

Molto bello, anche per le persone più anziane. Grazie! Puoi darmi suggerimenti per la musica? 🙏
