so good to find an exercise video being guided by voice only, no music, no countdown timer. Very good!

Amazing, I did have to put my arms down halfway through, so the goal is to do this workout all the way through without dropping my arms. I usually do an arm workout with light weights and can honestly say that this workout was far more challenging, thanks again.

Dear Rachel Thanks for this work out. I hope you got over the first shock about your father. My father died 25 years ago and I still "talk" to him. It is true, our loved one do not leave us, they stay with us.

Just to say I have been following you for a time now. You have no idea how you inspired me to start moving again. I used to be a nurse. It was my passion. I then got diagnosed with oestoarthritis of knees and spine and within months I was using a wheelchair. Your videos have helped me to keep going through this very rough partch in my life. I sincerely thank you for your guidance and encouragement. NHS will not consider a knee replacement as I am too young. I have to say I feel as if I have been dumped and forgotten about. Thank you for all your encouragement and advice. You can clearly see you do Pilates with love in your heart. Love Cath Kershaw from Glasgow in Scotland xx

Since your intro video includes a farm scene and animals, I thought I’d share how I incorporated this workout today. We have some older farm animals that we need to isolate from the others when eating, which means about 10 minutes of down time for me after doing all the chores. Instead of sitting down & scrolling social media, I decided to prop my phone on the bales of hay & do these arm exercises! It was nearly perfect timing with the animals routine! Thanks for this quick, productive workout!

Do you have an arm workout that involves weights I love this workout I try to alternate between this one and then the legs or the standing for seniors even though I’m not a senior I’m still at that level. I’ve been adding 1 pound weights. I think they’re 1 pound weights to this exercise when I can, but I didn’t know if maybe you had an exercise like this for arms that was with weights.
