Haven't exercised for the past 2 weeks or so and wanted to get back into it with a nice and chill workout. When Beth says "shaking is good!" I was already shaking like a leaf!! 🤣 Thanks for this great workout!

[@trifectapilates]

Love that!

[@amypaquette9816]

Beth thank you for continuing to bring awareness to your subscriber of what there are to be feeling or experiencing in a posture or position for example you brought to my attention where i am to be feeling the awareness of the pose and it was to be in my abs and not my back which immediately i corrected because i had strain in my back. Thanks Again....love coming to the Mat. Amy

This video showed me exactly how weak my upper back and shoulder muscles are. I should definitely be focussing more on my upper back strength so I can have better posture. This video also engaged my triceps and upper arms quite a bit which I tend to let fall to the wayside when doing other pilates exercises even though it is something as simple as engaging those muscles. Engaging the arms during pelvic curls was a new concept last Thursday. I am sure you'd said it before in class but my arms were sore for the first time and it was simply because I was making an effort to engage them. In this video I found it difficult to do the arm lifts while on our hands and knees, not because it was hard for my body to do but because it was tiring for my muscles! I pushed through and I am sure I will have the "good soreness" in my arms tomorrow, the kind where you know you're accomplishing things and making progress.

I have back pain and posture issues and I loved it. I felt good holding my posture. Thank you!

[@trifectapilates]

Wonderful!

Good Morning Beth! I absolutely love this workout. It is making me more aware of my posture and is really helping my upper body especially the neck and shoulder area where I feel the muscles are quite weak and tight. I have noticed that one side of my body flows different to the other - when you demonstrated the arm circles sitting with knees slightly bent. I have to say that felt really good and the exercises on the tummy were like elixir gold for my shoulder blades. Will be trying to do this exercise every morning as I found it so beneficial to what I am physically going through right now.

After Thursday's workout, it really helped we focus on activating different muscles so when I did this workout I felt more activation! My back, triceps, and shoulders felt sore after the workout, the good type of sore, and I felt accomplished in having a good workout. I liked the variations on some of the exercises that we did before such as the spine twists with arm circles. It amazing how many different variations and exercises there are to create different workouts. Great workout!

[@fathimaamra9602]

Thanks Beth I really enjoy your classes

[@trifectapilates]

I'm so glad!

[@amypaquette5371]

Yay i got to the mat again. Loved this posture workout bringing more awareness to my posture. Thank you Beth....Good Detail.....very clear....easy to follow.

Unique workout! I've been dong PT on my posture for a year and this seemed both new, but also in alignment with everything I know to be helpful. Incorporated core work as well as arm and shoulders, got my blood pumping a bit too!

[@trifectapilates]

I'm so glad to hear that the session was a good combo.

[@Cferrell7]

I definitely felt like I was able to do better in this workout and be more understanding of my body then even just a few classes ago. After talking on Thursday about posture, I really noticed that my base posture is decent for standing but is really tied to the stresses and nerves I am going through in that moment on how I will mis-align my posture. Sitting however, I slouch a lot more then I thought I did. The end of this workout made me notice that when I was thinking about and had to lean back some and pull myself more straight. During the workout, I noticed that my shoulders are weaker then I thought they were and that whenever I do spinal extensions, I want to take my feet off of the mat. So those are two areas I really need to work on to pull my posture to a more correct position. I was also proud of myself on the ab engagements for being able to not hold onto my legs the whole time and completing the arm motions while engaging my abs the whole time. I'm really enjoying Pilates and it is making me more self aware of my body then I think I have ever been.

[@mrsgrek]

Really enjoyed this one.....posture needs attention!

[@trifectapilates]

So glad that you enjoyed the session!

[@radish398]

I honestly thought I had more upper back strength before this workout! I definitely enjoyed this workout and to learn more about my back strength is awesome. I was definitely shaking when it was the ab work out and we were pumping our arms. I've been trying to focus on the specific parts of my body and honestly the abs are still the hardest for me, I feel like have a hard time engaging those muscles sometimes, I'm not sure if it's just because I'm using them more than I have in the past or what?? lol. But do feel myself getting stronger, which I'm excited about.

[@ashleyteasdale1203]

I really enjoyed this exercise, though I’m still sore in my triceps so that added some difficulty! My posture is definitely not the best, but I’ve noticed that since taking this class it has improved and now I can refer to this video to continue working on my posture. One thing that I noticed is that I tend to push my bodies boundaries as far as range of motion. When we were taking our arms behind our head on our backs, I noticed that my back was trying really hard to not lift off the ground. I was so focused on my arms staying straight and stretching out my shoulders that my form went downhill - so I actually redid that part to get the most out of it! Also, that exercise with the double arm lift and the pelvic pivot was pretty difficult for me, but I really enjoyed it!

[@shiatsume5]

terrific start to any of your other routines, and way to start the day. This helped a lot with kidney area lowback pain .

[@trifectapilates]

Glad it helped!

[@ferme814]

Thank you. This was a great stretch for my back and chest area. I love all your videos ! ❤️🙏

[@trifectapilates]

[@mohan6573]

It is so helpful I hv been following your 7day Pilates challenge and currently I am on day 5 of the challenge.its really fab❤️😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥💞 Just wanted to know,i have pain in my tailbone so should I continue Pilates(lower back exercises mainly)????

[@trifectapilates]

Pain and Pilates don't mix. So variations or different exercises are key.

[@ArtLoversLab]

Thank you beth ♥️♥️♥️

[@trifectapilates]

You're welcome

[@jabrayjay6679]

Ok, this is my new favourite!

[@trifectapilates]

An oldie but a goodie.

[@orchideestraat1967]

thanks! exactly what I need!

[@trifectapilates]

Great to hear!

[@seafoodpizza]

This is the first video I've followed on your channel. Really pleasant instruction.

[@trifectapilates]

Thanks and welcome to the channel!

[@martinegowie2248]

This is what I really need for my back and shoulders. Wonderful workout, 😊

[@voyageuse2011]

So good thank you!!

[@trifectapilates]

You're so welcome!

[@debbiehauser1497]

Wonderful!!! Thank you!

[@MarisaG321]

At the very beginning of this video I felt where I hold a lot of my tension. It is definitely in my neck as well as my lower-middle back. I guess I am probably slouching more than I am realizing. I enjoyed all of the stretches for the spine and how they woke up my body for the rest of the day. The exercises on all fours always hurt my elbows even when I am not hyperextending them. These were not as bad as the full plank position, but it makes my pelvis shift oddly and I feel very off balance.

[@elegancefactor3180]

Awesome video

[@trifectapilates]

I'm glad that you liked the class. Thanks for the comment.

[@susanzamzow661]

I really liked this workout! I strive to maintain proper posture however, this showed me where some of my weakneses are. 😊

[@judithmartinez-cx4by]

Thank you! :)

[@cwiehle0]

Beth, thank you for the video. @16:30 I really feel in my right neck while pumping the fist out in front of shoulder. Any cues to inhibit this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris

[@trifectapilates]

You're welcome! I'm so glad that you enjoyed this Pilates workout. This is common, I suggest working your reverse ab exercises and then progressing back into this one.

[@harleensandhu1971]

This workout is great Beth, from now onwards I will keep my posture erect while working on computer. Thank you so much

[@trifectapilates]

Wonderful!

[@mbreaslaw9246]

Love the ab work with shoulder raise! Thanks Beth!

[@infoodwetrust]

This one was definitely a Tri-cepsa Pilates for me!

[@trifectapilates]

This brought a smile to my face!😀

[@lizbiggs1836]

Excellent. Just the right challenge for me.

[@moiraberniegatt9491]

Tricky. With supraspinatus tendonitis but doable and soooo beneficial if you adapt correctly 🤗
