20 Min Pilates Inner & Outer Thigh Workout | 28 Day Pilates Challenge day 6

[@gullyristo]

Day 6.2 done. Still super challenging for me, even without ankle weights. Thank you.

[@heatherphillips7854]

I did this workout with the day 3 video earlier in the week and boy did I feel it the next day. Today, I completed it for day six of the 28 day Pilates X Strength plan, although I used a band instead of able weights. Feel the burn! 🔥

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s fantastic! I’m sure there was quite a burn haha

[@hannibalspice]

Didn't think I had it in me, but done and done. And a two mile walk. Couldn't do the weights. Back screaming from an old injury, but feels better after this. Thanks Rachel!

[@JennAube-pi7jx]

Getting ready to jump into day 6 (I usually do day 1 every day to start and go to the next video), I’ve done 2-3 different videos each day and I’ve already lost 5lbs since Monday, I’m noticing a difference with my clothes and actually being able to climb 3 flights of stairs. I’m going to keep going as I have a goal and want to reach it!!! I’m drinking less pop and more water (husband hasn’t noticed) and have stopped eating snacks later in the evening.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow great! Good job 👏🏽

[@sheriharrison6137]

OMG....I love your workouts. It's not too long, but it feels great when I am done. Thank you

[@rachelsfitpilates]

thank u! yes I try my best to make them short but pack a punch ;)

[@joannep.1895]

Day 6 done! 🎉 This one was 🔥! I can feel the burn!

[@julieniemann3410]

This was a great workout. I used the ankle weights for both sets. Thank you Rachel ❤

[@julieniemann3410]

Thank you Rachel. I loved this workout. It was rough with using the ankle weights even with the warm up. lol. You’re amazing. I prefer staying on the floor or standing. Doing the workouts standing and then on the floor back and forth are my least favorite. But, love switching it up every once in awhile. ❤❤❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thank you! Yes all my new videos I try to not bounce around like that!

[@rebeccaKmua]

My whole body is going to be in pain tomorrow after doing this 😅... My thighs are going to thank you....i feel like this is quite shoulder heavy also... I could feel myself sinking sometimes and almost always it was in the shoulder. You make it look way too easy Rachel!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Haha yes! you're right, my shoulder also got fatigued while I was doing it too. Bonus shoulder + oblique work for this one!

[@creolelady3930]

That's not pain, That's weakness leaving your body..😅 I'm starting over to. Gosh at my age I must continue motivating myself. Thanks so much for the beginners regiment geared for the privacy of our home.. blessings to all and happy new year 🎉🎉

[@rosannajamora9292]

Day 6 done. Thanks, Rachel!

[@julieniemann3410]

Loved this workout. I used 3lbs ankle weights. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@joanaguine]

Day 6 done! This was intense, also for the shoulders ahah :) After a week doing these works my lower back pain has almost fully disappeared. It does work to strengthen the core!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow that's wonderful!

[@cabananabana]

I switched day 5 & 6 because I did abs yesterday and the day before but….my abs worked as well today and my shoulders are on fire! Great workout

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job!

[@feliciacarlos-romero7225]

Day 6 Done!! That was an amazing workout!! I love the combo workouts for the legs. Really felt the burn.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Glad you liked it!!

[@claudiakwok5663]

Thank you Rachel first time I tried this and I like it .For me it's a challenge I am 69 years of age but I will keep doing this one then when mastered it move to your next one

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw I love that. It’s definitely quite a challenge and you can certainly do it without ankle weights until you feel ready for more weight! ☺️

[@CindyByrne-d3c]

Did day 1 and enjoyed it. Getting back on track with my daily routine of exercising this is day 3 for me. I plan to follow the 28 day workout regimen ❤️ I enjoyed your video!

[@raminta1122]

Day 6 Check! Thank you for the workout! My legs were so tired and without even having ankle weights!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job!

[@Tajfitjourney24]

Day 6-feel that 🔥 tough on shoulders but added extra stretch for some relief. Great workout!

[@JRoberts-qg8yf]

Day 6...challenging.I used 5 lb hand weights!! !Holding them on my thigh. I will order ankle weights!!! I will feel this later today but I did it!!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

that's great!

[@Tajfitjourney24]

Day 6 done!... thigh burn is a real thing 🔥☺️

[@stephaniegeorgius2339]

Thank you so much for this!!!! Your workouts are so inspiring!! Feels so good! Bless you for doing this❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're so welcome!

[@staciecagle4171]

I'm so proud of myself, I almost missed today, but when I got home i grabbed my mat and told myself let's do this and here I am completed day 6 🎉

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Amazing!

[@staciecagle4171]

​@rachelsfitpilates thank you so much

[@peegee681]

Doing this with ankle weights was next level burn 🔥, loved it.

[@Hannah_12000]

I just joined and I already LOVE IT! You are the best!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! Thank you so much

[@mishmash2157]

Me again 55 yo lady had to take some breaks for the ol shoulders...dang things...I do love that every day even though I am so happy no one can SEE me I feel my muscles and know they are there...they may be crying a little but good lol...day 6 down see you tomorrow 💪😁

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job!! So proud of you!

[@tracyshirley1046]

Thank you for sharing! I have been so proud I could do everything day 1 to day 5. I was really getting discouraged tonight, because of my 55 year old shoulder. I am proud of you and me because we just did it anyway. 🎉. I absolutely love these classes. I have never seen or done palettes till 6 days ago! Thank you Rachael!! You are amazing. These classes are amazing. I feel more confident, happier, energized and proud, thanks to you and your classes.

[@mishmash2157]

@tracyshirley1046 the shoulders were hardest on me and I was mad at them...im determined to get stronger...every time I set a goal for weight or thinner I fail and fully give up my focus is strength and I think the rest will follow...if u want to quit Tracy remember I'm here too!!! We got this!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

@@tracyshirley1046 aw thank u so much!! im so glad u enjoy them. keep up the great work!

[@etal.038]

Day 6 done! ✅ I felt this in my legs and my shoulders 😅 but I wasn't mad about it!

[@TheKingdomPeople2023]

Made it to day 7! Thanks for the Bonus work!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

awesome!! great job

[@naomibailey6886]

Day 6 - oh my goodness, that one was a killer for me! Found it difficult to do so many moves on one side … so much pressure in the shoulder .. tried readjusting position but couldn’t find a comfortable spot. Perhaps I need to do half, swap sides, and do half again 🤷🏼‍♀🤦🏼‍♀

[@rachelsfitpilates]

try lying flat on the side and not on the forearm next time!

[@wendyoosterhof]

Thank you so much for your energy and inspiration from Holland. I am loving the challenge, making me wanna do a workout every day. Even after a Busy workday. I Shared your Channel with friends, and now we are a group of six persons!! You getting famous over here! ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Haha wow that is so cool! Thanks for telling me

[@Lovepinkgc]

I’m 65 and just finished day 6; the weights really make it difficult, but I finished, guess I’ll see how I feel tomorrow

[@rachelsfitpilates]

It’s a tough one!

[@sallyanngrisolia4876]

I'm 63, I feel ya!

[@lauralancaster8330]

My shoulders were dead after this😂 I'm pretty sure I'm legs will be stiff tomorrow ❤ Day 6 done

[@LeighannMarkalunas-gd3jc]

Day 6 ☑️ Felt the burn on that one, love it!

[@Anuky1]

Día 6 hecho, muchas gracias Rachel.....

[@cats.8129]

Hello Rachel Im 70 years old and I was wondering if it would be wise to start with half the amount and work my way up? Im dealing with a body that sometimes doesn't cooperate with me the way I want it to do to Autoimmune issues. *LOVE* your channel!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank u so much! Yes absolutely, this workout is great even without ankle weights or do what u can and work your way up

[@mayakiefer7394]

Yay! Day 6 done!

[@Jatalee]

Day 5 complete! The last bridge set was tough!

[@julieniemann3410]

I always enjoy your workouts. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤What’s the weight of your ankle weights? I have 2lbs and 3lbs ankle weights.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Mine are 2! Use whatever feels challenging enough for you 😃

[@valentinasanna6943]

Done! Note: it was intense for me to stay on 1 arm rather than the legs excercises.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yes it’s tough! U can lie flat next time if u like

[@AlisaTilsner]

I’m back, done! I have some catching up to do!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! Totally ok! So glad you’re back!

[@gullyristo]

Day 6. No ankle weights but it was still challenging. Definitely using muscles I don't typically use. Thank you.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job!

[@gullyristo]

@@rachelsfitpilates Thank you!

[@danicabren4616]

Hey Rachael! This is my sixth day on the challenge; I absolutely love it! However, I was wondering if I should take a rest day (for the seventh day and pick up from there on the eighth), or should I just keep going? Thank you again for the amazing videos!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Totally ok to rest if u like!

[@m4r1t3]

I think i've done this one 3 times since the 2 months I joined your channel and it's the first time I've managed to not die (i was able to finish, with 3 pound ankle weights XD) progress! My shoulders are dead tho :D

[@rachelsfitpilates]

haha! wow that's so awesome! It's it great to see progress like that??

[@AnastasiaKeczan-ni3zp]

Day 6 done! 👌🎉

[@julespucs3545]

will these workouts help tone out my stomach? (not this specific one but the ab workouts in the 28 day pilates challenge) anyway even though im a highly competitive soccer athlete i still found this tough but i got through it! thank you for keeping me motivated. ❤

[@kalalingus7011]

I finised day 6 🎉 im feeling really good 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful!

[@ariaLampadaria]

Really nice workouts☺️thanks so much, this one weirdly made my neck feel super stiff during the workout😅 probably cause of the shoulder beeing locked in the same place for some time. None the less really nice leg workout (i didn‘t have ankle weights so the leg work wasn‘t that hard)

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thank you! Next time u can try lying all the way down and use your hand to support your head

[@ariaLampadaria]

@@rachelsfitpilates oh that sounds quite good as well, i thought about just changing sides between every excercise instead of at the end but it‘d interrupt the flow of the video a bit

[@shaiXder]

This is an awesome workout! With my 2kgs ankle weights was really challenging but it feels great after completion 🎉

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job! Very challenging for sure 😅

[@Godfidence282]

Day 6 Done❤

[@emanuel-ms3ld]

Day 6 done, two days behind because of PMS hope i'll make up for it later

[@rachelsfitpilates]

totally fine! glad you're back :)

[@jessicacampbell1903]

I love side lying inner outer thighs! Love this. Can you make more longer ones? Like the cueing is a bit weird, like it didn't match the time so try doing it straight through.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thank you! I’m sorry can u clarify what do you mean the cueing doesn’t match the time?

[@bewellhealthnutrition]

Very nice. Thanks

[@rachelsfitpilates]

so glad u liked it!

[@triciahorton8398]

Thank you for another awesome workout! Did anyone else mistakenly warm up with ankle weights?! 🔥

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Haha oh no! U def got some extra work in 😅

[@CharlineArcher]

Day 6 completed last night. It's a tough one.

[@mariacarballojonatanluque157]

Happy Monday!! Day 6 almost done, I said almost because my righ shoulder could not handle it 😢. Let's see tomorrow. 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You can rest with your head on the mat if u like for those!

Thank you! Day 7done!

[@SusanGagnon-l7f]

done and this one I felt

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job!

[@EbonyMActon]

Day 6* complete ❤

[@CarrieSvoboda]

Anytime I am doing something with the legs stacked and on my elbow (keeping abs elevated) my shoulder hurts and I get some hip pain from the stacking. Any suggestions to minimize either of those issues?

[@rachelsfitpilates]

For the hips try to do it on a more padded surface .. a small flat pillow under or even do it on the bed. The shoulders do have to work quite a bit to keep us up, but if it’s too much it’s ok to stop early

[@ozgekacar1745]

Day 6✔My arms hurt really bad and made it harder for me to do this exercise

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yes I would try to lie down next time for the leg work!

[@melanieg8870]

Day 6 - this was really tough - had a lot of pain in my neck on the opposite side we were working, am I doing something wrong? Love your videos and am working through this challenge- just want to do it safely!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

u can lie down next time for that and have your head resting on your bottom arm, instead of being propped up on the forearm. glad u like the workouts!

[@melanieg8870]

Perfect- will do, thx!

[@BambiKeefe]

I took off some time because of st Pattys but I’m back! Day 6 done

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job!

[@Tajfitjourney24]

Tough on the shoulders but worth it;)

[@emmas9920]

my shoulder is BURNING!!!

[@alexisraymond7701]

I really struggled with this one! Felt it in my hips, not my thighs, and my shoulders couldn't hold keep me elevated for the whole practice. Any tips or modifications?

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yes for the shoulders you can rest your head down and tuck your arm under to support you. The leg work you will feel inner and outer thigh (when side lying, top of leg).

Loving your workouts! Is it normal to feel most of the burn in my hip flexors? Just curious if thats a "me" thing or if that's normal...haha

If u want to feel it more on the top of the leg for side lying work I would try to bring your top hip more forward .. stay stacked right on top of the bottom leg

[@rachelsfitpilates]

absolutely!

[@_.iamfaithhhh._]

Day 6 completed

[@JadeLuv]

I find that I have difficulty with the side lying positions. It seems to put a lot of pressure on my hip joint. Am I laying wrong? Also, do you get the same thigh benefits if you have to lower your upper body from shoulder fatigue?

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I get the same if I’m on just a mat + hard floor. I was on carpet so it felt fine for this and truthfully i should have mentioned it! I would try it on a more padded surface. You can also shift slightly back on your bottom leg so you aren’t directly resting on the bony part of your hip. And for your shoulder yes, totally fine to rest down instead of be right on top!

[@nicolajones7344]

Oh wow. I came on here to say exactly the same. I had my mat on a hard surface and it hurt also my had to lower down half way through as my shoulder really started to burn. Glad it's not just me. 🙂

You can lie flat next time for sidelying work!

[@amberj87]

How many times a week do you recommend doing this? My thighs are my biggest insecurities 😩

Day-6

[@ijannadalton1158]

Dang I wish I could have done Day 6 but it hurts to much to sit /lay on my side that like . I don’t know what bone I am sitting on but no thank you . I find it interesting that no one has said anything about this position, maybe I am doing it wrong.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Ppl have said that before! It does hurt me too if I’m not on a padded surface. U can even try on a bed and it may be much more comfortable!

[@beanolil]

Didn’t like today as I wasn’t able to do most of it due to shoulder injuries. Did some though❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

this one is tough! you can try resting your head on the ground with your arm underneath rather than on the forearms if you do sidelying again!

[@RubaSharkas]

I counldn't bear my weight on my elbow😢 it was so hard

Try lying flat on your arm next time u do sidelying work!
