@dionzoe6716 Thank you 😊 really appreciate the feedback. It helps that I come from pain and injury myself, that comes out in my approach, I think. So pleased you liked it. If I can help more, please let me know.

Thanks for commenting! It depends. If you're coming from zero resistance training, then yes, it would if done progressively and consistently. If you already do resistance training or proficient with body weight. Maybe not.

@@pilatesguy thankyou

No probs!

Yep, it's great, I really like it. It's not my favourite thing - but it's necessary and feels good! Thanks for commenting! And yes as I said, the creator was Joseph Pilates. But things have changed so much

I don't think I was very fun to work with as a beginner 🤣 painful more like!

Glad you enjoyed! Let me know if I can help more

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Not sure about that but thank for saying. Glad you find it valuable!

Please feel free to dive in 🙌 I'm sure it will help and you can shout with any questions.

Thanks for the comment and feedback! In a face to face class I can be responsive to individuals or even physically adjust peoples position. Online, this all needs to be done verbally! When you're doing the session, trying to just apply the verbal cues as you're continuously working through and applying to your movement is key. This becomes much easier over time. Having said all that, I may just not be the instructor for you, we're all different in our approach

Hey there. Sorry to hear that! Most exercises can be adapted by limiting range of motion, reps, regularity of rest, and level. So yes, certainly using a smaller range of motion could be beneficial. However, with a disc issue you really don't want to push it. This may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXOqe4uaaZ2EmbMsi=c4Dw6_Ff6JdPU4e2 I do have a supported back pain course which you can check out here: www.skool.com/pilates Hope this helps, Feel free to get in touch with any questions +447480 991068

I can dig them out, meant to reference them and always forget. Was it the Pilates for back pain?

@@pilatesguy Hi, I was specifically interested in the article "Your Posture Is Not Causing Your Pain"

Depending what kind of Pilates and how you want to work I can make suggestions

@@pilatesguy I want to be fully certified

🙌 that's great work 👏 and thanks for commenting

Whoa😮

I think it's naturally evolved this way for a few reasons but now certainly makes it tough to get in to for men. Great to hear you're qualified and best of luck in your future as an instructor 🙌

@@pilatesguy Thanks. Your initial advice and encouragement helped make it happen.

@BryantPP more than happy to have helped!

In honesty, I don't know enough about it as the science is very new on this. Some still disregard it completely. I think moving your body is going to be the answer either way!

Thank you for commenting!

Don't stress, this is completely normal. Average is around 1.5cm loss in height through mainly disc compressions throughout the day. 3cm is more than average, but if you lift weights or so physical work, it can be more. In theory being more posture aware and having stronger core muscles would reduce the compression and potentially make a small difference. Hope that helps! Not sure this has been studied though

Thank you for commenting! Glad you enjoyed it

Do you mean like massage etc provided by a physiotherapist? I think it's always a good idea to be guided by a good professional. The kind that works with you, motivates and advises you, not just someone who puts their hands on you then off you go. I have a chiropractic every 12 weeks and a sports massage too which I find helps a bit. What you do yourself is the 90% of the result you get if that makes sense?

Thanks for your insights. Just starting out and must rid myself of the pain.

@russpapworth2503 happy to chat as this is exactly what i help people with!

That's great, thanks for commenting and I hope it's helping. That desk work will get you eventually. At least as a purple belt you can methodically tie people in knots and not work too hard 🤣 Please shout if I can help any further at all.

🙌

Thanks for commenting. Hope it was good!

Glad you liked it and thanks for commenting

Thank you, I'm on it. Testing different microphones and set up. Its difficult with the room and they way we move during demos to find the perfect arrangement but think I'm getting close. Thanks for the feedback and glad you found the session beneficial

No problem, thank you for using it and for commenting!

Oh wow, sorry to hear this 😫 hope you're feeling much better now! Age is never a good reason to just accept limitations. Shout if I can help at all 😊

I didn't take it seriously for far too long. Get stuck in! Shout if I can help

@@pilatesguy thanks, appreciate it!

The sooner you get started rhe better! You are right. It is predominantly women who practice. This is partly why I found it so difficult to begin myself. I think much has to do with society as a whole. This kind of holistic style of exercise is always attended more by ladies than men. Much of that is down to us guys. And women are more open to group exercise class settings too, across the board. But there are also some factors around the evolution of Pilates after Joseph Pilates began instructing dancers in the New York Ballet. And his protégé was dancer. This all happened before it became so popularised and widespread. Many people who do the various styles of Pilates have any idea of it's origins or that it was initially created by a man.

Yes definitely make it much worse. Sometimes waiting for it to kick in for example. You can aggravate by pushing through if you're pushing to an extreme. But keeping moving is important, rather than just doing nothing, and will make you feel better 🙌

Many thanks!

Glad to hear it helps and thanks for commenting!

Thanke for commenting! It was good, lots of benefits too, pension, healthcare, etc. I left because Pilates helped me solve my back pain. I was always interested in health and fitness just never took the plunge. When i went through the journey with my back pain, and the results i got, I just had to do it. Worst timing ever, lots of risk. Then covid hit 9 months after. Still going 🙌

Thanks Louise!

It's been great to see how much you've come on and it's been that consistency! 👋 Thanks for commenting

It's shocking how powerful the brain is when it comes to the physical impact on your body, pain etc. You've been doing amazingly 👏

Well done for doing something about it 👏 Thanks for commenting

Thanks Trudy!
