20 MIN EXPRESS PILATES WORKOUT || At-Home Intermediate Pilates (No Equipment)

[@jamie6506]

The kitty getting fully and unapologetically in the way is the best part of the video

[@jasminsoulfood3041]

I love that kitty ❤😂

[@frecklesflower]

Nicole, it was one of my goals in 2023 to practice pilates weekly. Thanks to you, I practiced even more than on a weekly basis because of your professional, inspirational, and wonderful videos. I met my fitness goals, and also relieved mental tension thanks to your help. I have tried many pilates classes in person, but no one compares to you. Please treat yourself to your favorite açai bowl or matcha latte, which I have seen on your instagram page, or whatever makes you happy. Sending you lots of love. Thank you for making my life better ❤

[@christinafebbroriello5572]

Girl, I do NOT know how you do that last roll-up version so well! No matter how many times I practice that, I still flail around like a fish on my back. Lol. I don't know if my abs will ever be strong enough to keep my hands behind my head for that one.

[@mijhuan19]

Hahahaha i am glad i am not the only one

[@v.l.9264]

I can't even do the first roll-ups correctly. Have to hold my thighs to pull myself up. And I'm doing her work ups for over a year. I'm questioning if I'm born with proper abs.

[@TheSpanishNotebook]

I know! 😭 Even with a pretty strong core, I need to practice the "normal" ones to be able to do those ones... xD

[@AntoniaSheldrake]

I usually opt for a 30 or 40 minute workout - but don't underestimate this spicy one! Nicole never misses a moment to take an exercise to the next level with her combos which leave more than one part of your body shaking!

This is the only channel you need to completely change your body and mind! Thank you so much Nicole💕

[@katrastubblefield4583]

Love this new short, but incredibly challenging one! Good to know you take your own advice: "Do what you can, today is for you". Your workouts and words remind me it's about showing up and doing something for my body & mind- which is better than not showing up! Thank you so much! 💓 🪷🧘‍♀️

[@anita898]

I was supposed to rest today but I'm so happy about this upload I cant wait to work out! Thanks to you Nicole my mindset regarding sport changed completely. In a wonderful, self-loving way ❤

I am on a seven day challenge to cleanse and energize my body, mind, and soul. Your classes are a critical part of that. Thank you for always filling me with strength, balance, and calm. Loved the turned out knee leg lifts in this one! My glutes are happy.

[@ashleyw2060]

I started watching your videos around May of 2023. I was 4 months postpartum, and my delivery had left me so weak with so much pain! In less than a year into your classes, I can confidently (but not perfectly) complete an Intermediate level class! I could barely lift my hips or move my back last year! Thank you so much for all that you do. I have fallen in love with pilates and moving my body again! 1000x recommend.

[@MichelleKehoe-e1u]

Wowsers, I'm a ballet teacher and Pilates Instructor and this was the most challenging workout I have done since I was a student, I loved it!!

[@utapeter2211]

The shorter, express workouts are often quite challenging and tough. I'm sure this one is no exeption. There are some exercises that look really tricky, can't wait to do this!

You are great. I am a group exercise and Pilates manager and I refer my teachers and students to your classes. Thank you.

[@maxinesharpe6111]

I've been weightlifting and running for 12 years now and recently started doing pilates a couple weeks ago and the app I was using was OK but not satisfying. I have some past experience with yoga and still practice it as well but WOW! Definitely love Nicole's workouts and will be continuing to do pilates with her channel!! :) FYI I never comment on KZbin so this workout was GREAT! and I suffer from chronic pain due to past injuries and feel so relaxed :)

[@simonbejer64]

Thanks

[@tssukye]

Nicole, you have changed my life for the better. The sheer joy and rush I feel after each of your workouts is beyond comparison. Truly, thank you 🤍🌬

[@-RashmiUmate]

Thank you note ❤ Dear nichole, I have been doing pilates with you for almost 6 months now. I have never been this consistent with any other fitness regime. My body is completely changed. I feel strong, grounded and graceful. You made me so strong that I'm able to do 1 hr workouts and HIIT with ease. Pilates are now the workouts that I just need. Thank you so much. ❤ Lots of Love Let's keep moving ❤❤ - Rashmi

[@anastasiiagrishina3804]

Just want to say that I LOVE the format of your videos- the detailed instruction voice over, the thought out exercises and seamless transition between them, perfect demonstration and the background music! I simply can’t follow anyone else’s videos as no one has perfected their flows and instructions as you!

[@brandon9899]

As a guy- this kicked my ass. Wow! Definitely knew it would be hard practicing these kinds of moves but dayum! I feel so out of shape and my flexibility is that of a redwood tree. But I’m sticking to it- let’s get it!!

I just finished this class - and after a round of some other workouts from your channel - I feel my entire body now... 😅 Thank you for all of your effort, I think we all can feel in your video how much quality, time and effort you put into them... I never felt like doing Pilates is "my thing", but this has completely changed after I did the first video from your channel... I am so grateful that I've found your channel here on KZbin, you changed my whole workout routine and I feel so strong after every workout - THANK YOU! ❤

[@sandragygax1472]

[@LWren91]

This is one I will return to again and again. Usually I gravitate to the longer classes but this one was so interesting and challenging, I could work more on those harder roll ups especially! Thank you Nicole!

Every workout is perfect for what I need. I feel like a broken record because I say it over and over. But each workout goes deep into my body, mind and soul, leaving me cleansed, energized and refreshed (and good-sore!). Thank you Nicole - wonderful way to end my year.❤

[@ninJachb]

This was great! I love how each class is challenging and unique, regardless of the length of time. It makes every class feel so satisfying!

[@sademeeks]

Perfect timing. Side note, I’ve been having difficulty finding mat Pilates in my area (every thing seems to be reformer). But I wanted to attend more mat classes so I could pay more attention to the cuing considering im planning to take a certification class in the spring. Since setting that goal, I’ve been paying closer attention to how you cue and it’s been very helpful. I know everyone will have their own style but it’s just helpful to learn terminology and pacing. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Since 2020 you’ve helped me in more ways than one.

[@carlykeating260]

You are incredible! Can't say that I executed all the moves fully, nor correctly but did my best and always look forward to your new videos 😊. Thank you so much.

Its always very rewarding to exersice the pilaties class she gets her outro screen from :)

❣Thanks!

[@Divinity80]

Thank you Nicole. I absolutely love your workouts and have been doing them for a while now. I had a bit of difficulty wit the roll-ups at the end. Could not lift up all the way especially with my hands behind my head. I'm sure I wasn't the only one?! Haha. I know this was an intermediate class, but I am definitely NOT a beginner. Moves you are able to do so easily may not be for others and modifications would be nice to add in. :) Look forward to your new videos!

[@butterflylake11788]

This was excellent! Really want to master the last more intermediate roll-ups. Any advice on how to strengthen, tips and tricks to get there, Nicole?

[@nelesba7726]

I would be interested in tips on that too!

[@leropf]

I found them so tricky aswell!

[@kajsanyberg9546]

My advice would be to just do her workouts and be consistent with it. Since i found Nicole a year ago i got a whole new body and mind and my core has never been stronger.

[@jailenebaby]

⁠@@kajsanyberg9546 how often + how long do you spend practicing Pilates & do you do other workouts besides Pilates that have helped change your body?

Doing this one again. Intermediate roll-ups are still tricky, but I can now do more in a row before my core and hamstrings say "yeah, nah". So, it can be done haha!

I felt depressed as hell and did my daily type of movement which was this video 5h later than I planned and when I finally did that last move (with a lot less grace) than her I brust into tears because after 7months break I feel so greatful that I found some motivation to finally start and keep going even tho it's only my first week and I already wanted to call it a day after excuses but I got it with this video and I'm so happy

[@DonelleKade]

Really love your workouts! Been consistently workouts with them 3-5 days a week for the last 5 months and it's made huge difference in my hip mobility, core strength and my back strength. The way you organize the workout/flow and cue makes flowing and stay at pace much easier. I'm not always having to check the TV screen. Curious if you would add foam roller, magic circle or more ball workouts to the regimen, just a thought, but whatever keeps your workout fun and keep recording because these have made huge difference for me. Thanks.
