20 Minute Best Pilates Video for a Leaner, Longer, Stronger Body

[@Elelee-sg2gs]

9 years later and this is still by far the best Pilates workout ever! I used muscles I've never used before (despite regularly going to the gym for the past 10 years} and I truly feel more stable , strong and my posture is much much better. I love that this is quick, highly effective and provides a full body exercise, and honestly I can go on and on about how much I love this workout. Thank you for sharing this with us :)

[@dabeezkneez8716]

Thank you🙏🏾 I read through the comments and every compliment is well deserved. I have been doing this for a few months now and every time I think I should change my routine, I have failed to find a better pilates workout online. This is hands down, the best!

[@iamjackiedragone]

Hi Dabeez, thank you so much! This is Jackie here! I have a virtual fitness studio called THELAB! You can check it out at jackiedragone.com or follow me on instagram @jackiedragone! Can't wait to connect!

[@blindartistlala9159]

I have been using this workout for 6 weeks now and I can honestly say it has made such a difference to me. Thank you so much! My chronic back pain is ninety eight per cent better. My spine will never be perfect because I have degenerative disc disease but the workout has made my muscles strong eliminating the pain I used to have. I'm 65 years old and will continue to practice forever! Thanks again Jann and Jackie you are truly professional.

[@stefanogrossi8762]

Thanks Jann and Jackie. I am 50 years old, I am Italian and I suffer from backache since I was 18 years old. In 2016 I tried your workout as a joke. I believed I was dying. Today I regularly do three workouts a week, in the morning before breakfast. Then I go to the office. Thanks to your workout, back pain does not affect me in everyday life. I can work at the pc, I can drive the car for long distances, I do not take more anti-inflammatories. Your promise to become leaner, longer, and stronger has come true. I love you

[@teresawilliams713]

Almost a year now since I discovered this and it has changed my life! Really. I have had several back injuries in the past with severe chronic pain. Doing these exercises 3 times a week has eliminated my pain. If I tapper them off my back lets me know. I used to waken in the morning with stiffness in my back but since I have followed this routine it is no longer the case. Can't thank you enough Jenn and Jackie.

[@teresawilliams713]

Well, I'm still going with this. I like the way I am progressing and still finding it challenging which is what I like. I will keep doing this workout three times a week until I drop!

[@smho3233]

I find myself coming back to this workout again n again!

[@dailybread300]

Clear speaking, professional, caring, humble, sincere...nice job! I am glad to find a Pilates class with no yoga terms! I’m here for Pilates, period. Thank you! God bless you both! Keep it up!

[@avaroberts9805]

I've been doing this twice a week, including two other days for cardio, for the last two months and I've dropped an inch on my waist. Amazing!

[@avaroberts5295]

This workout is one of the best I've done in a long time. While other HIIT-guided workouts make me feel like I'm dying (not in a good way - like a "I cannot think or breathe" type of way) this one pushes me to my best abilities but the instructions are so clear and the voices are so calm that I feel very comfortable and soothed throughout. Please keep doing these. Thank you so much!

[@susimawani4892]

I am in London keeping fit and sane after months of Covid. This is a fabulous addition to Yoga and HIIT - thanks so much!

[@blindartistlala9159]

I suffered with severe back pain for years. I have been doing this routine twice weekly for 8 months and have not had any pain since I started. Thanks for such a great, professional workout. I'm age 65 by the way.

[@pouncersd6616]

I have been doing pilates for over 10 years with a brilliant instructor. Of course we are now grounded so I have been working with this 20 min session for 3 weeks now, 3 or 4 mornings a week. It is truly stretching and satisfying but I felt I really needed my previous knowledge. I combine it with a 15 min cardio session for 'seniors' each evening using slightly heavier weights - the two sessions are really complimentary and make my duty days caring for my daughter's horses much easier for me. Thank you so much Jen and Jackie.

[@adahernandez9414]

I don't know where they are now, but I still love you guys !

[@lilliecrumphales8500]

The best pilates work out ever. Thanks girls you're the greatest.

[@veronicagida2397]

Hi Jenn and Jackie, i've been doing your Pilates for 1 and half year now. It helped me to stand straight and not droop. You are such an inspiration 💖💖

[@iamjackiedragone]

Hi Veronica! WOW that is amazing and thank you!!! If you want to try more workouts like this with me I have a virtual studio called THELAB - go to jackiedragone.com or visit me on instagram @jackiedragone. I would love to connect with you!

[@francesmcgonigle1435]

Started doing this workout regularly 2 years ago (later in life/out of shape) and unusually for me I stuck with it, entirely due to the fantastic instructions and positivity of Jenn and Jackie, but also because of the amazing results- longer/leaner/stronger for sure. Slacked off last year due to life challenges, but now back at it, and I can’t thank these instructors enough- they are angels ❤❤

[@gaylenesalina7672]

Like everyone, I am at home doing my workouts....I found this short video very effective....Feels like I did something, I will keep doing everyday ...thank you.

[@sharisweeney8163]

Hi! I'm a Pilates instructor who's stuck at home because of the COVID19 situation & just found your video. Love it! The perfect amount of challenge -- I think my glutei will feel it tomorrow -- and if it's ok with you, I may steal a few of your cues for when my state allows gyms to reopen. Thank you.

[@rhodachinni649]

Awesome! 70 years old trying to stay fit, enjoyed this very much!

[@sarahgrant3871]

I've tried many pilates workouts since Covid19...this one is THE BEST! Thank you both....more?

[@smniccaslin6848]

Same. And yes...More???

[@iamjackiedragone]

Hi Sarah! This is Jackie, nice to meet you! I just saw your comment here! Yes I teach 7 classes a week online either LIVE or on Demand. The most similar is every Monday at 7:30am - here is my website: rhythmlabphilly.com or you can DM me on instagram @Jackiedragone. Hope to connect!

[@catheriner9630]

This is one of my best pilates workout. Love the challenge.

[@jadrankagojtanic5356]

Great approach, girls! Please, could you add more of 20, 25, 30 and 45 min pilates videos? We need it now more than ever. Thank you!

[@eileenconnolly143]

I totally love this work out. It gets harder as you do it more often. look forward to it every morning during our lock down. Thanks Jenn and Jackie. My daughter and I love it.

[@priscillascott208]

I absolutely LOVE you guys, Jen & Jackie! I feel so energized after I do this workout, ready to take on the world. I do it daily (addicted, lol?) and can already feel the difference - physically, mentally & emotionally. Thank you both so much!.

[@kiraviolet1563]

I do this video any time I need to do Pilates. I love it so much. Thank you ladies so much for a great pilates workout!

[@amitychadbourne2493]

Excellent workout for those with not a lot to time. Super challenging but explained in a way that someone new to pilates can understand and slowing the pace gives participants a chance to tweak their form to the cues but also adds to the intensity of the workout! Nicely done!

[@uleabayani4171]

the toughest 20 minute pilates I've ever had. .. many thanks ladies!

[@jncourt5903]

I did this at home since the covi lockdown. Is challenging but effective, coz is only 20 mins and it work well for me while working from home. Thank you girls. Jn

This was great! all the poses were held slightly longer than I'm used to (than other workout videos) and I can feel the difference! Love it.

[@ozanfzg]

The only pilates workout I use!

[@leahwilson9682]

My sister, our friend, and I have included this workout in our rotation once every few weeks over zoom and it has consistently challenged us. Love it!

Hands down, the best workout video (quarantined or not)!

[@cell2see955]

That was an amazing workout for such a short time. Well done and thank you

[@DanielleASMR]

I felt like I was doing a genuine Pilate's workout in comparison to another Pilate's instructor that posts videos to KZbin. Thank you

[@elifpilon]

I live in Seoul South Korea and have so very little time to exercise with work and my two boys. But this pilates work out is the best. It takes care of strengthening so many of my weaker parts that I'm in the process of healing and balancing. Thank you!!

[@blindartistlala9159]

Thank you for this great workout. I'm 65 and have suffered with back pain for years following an injury. I'm familiar with yoga but have not tried Pilates until I found this video. I've only done it twice and my muscles really know it! And it's only 20 minutes long. I found it challenging but it will make me a lot stronger. Just what I need.

[@cindychong836]

Have tried various online classes but this is one of the best thanks!!

GREAT pilates workout Ladies. Your cues throughout were on point - very helpful in reminding where to focus and pay attention to. Challenging - but manageable! When is the next one??!!! More more more.

i love this workout a lot! my back feels a lot better after doing this for a week so far every day (Ill admit sometimes I will cheat and will do it twice 😝) next week ill be moving on to your more intense workouts . seriously have so many back problems tho. especially lower back and neck also. this helps a bunch thank you so much!!

[@medicareLady]

OK I'm in. 50 years old and I want to be leaner, longer and stronger! :) I plan to post every time I do this workout and when I take my own measurements I will post those as well. 11-15-18 Wt 168, Bust 34, Waist 34, Hips 40.5, Thigh 23.5 My first workout was great. I am adjusting to a few injuries and weak areas. My rotator cuff on the left side was injured at work about a month ago. I have pretty much left it along to heal but need to move it so it doesn't stick! On that I adjust the time on the side plank and also just holding my arms to the side is difficult. I also have two "brand new-ish" knees from stem cell. I am extremely slow and careful on any lateral movements. Second workout was today 11-18-18. I hung in there a little longer. I really like this simple workout because I CAN do it and I feel I've used lots of muscles during it by following your directions. Both of you are doing a great job reminding me. I did have a Q: my pilates instructor in Utah always talked about mermaid feet when executing. Is this what you think too? Point or flex? Thanks for making this video.

[@vivamendez01]

Great workout! Thanks

I'm a very fit girl but I've been sick for a week. Basically suffered from extreme exhaustion which affected my heart, caused headaches, dizzy spells and blurred vision. I still don't feel too well but I decided, it's been a week and I'm going to just start again with this simple pilates routine. Got some muscles fired up and I think it will be a good way to ease my body back into Hitt training. Tnx for a good workout :)

[@emilyschencker8485]
