Day 1 done. Due to severe depression I gained over 30 pounds this year and officially the heaviest I have been. I am ready to put my health and happiness first and so excited to start this program!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You got this!! I hope u enjoy the workouts and find that they really help u on your journey 🥰 keep up the great work!

[@anetakwiatkowska8647]

Oh I absolutely loved it! Pilates bar is becoming my new fave! Would love a longer workout or separate workouts for arms, core, glutes etc so I can alternate them each day! Def will stick around! Thank you ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Will do! I’ll be filming more next month!

[@MistyDickson-kv6hd]

The Pilates Bar was so fun. Please do more videos with it.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

yay! yes I've filmed an arm one that should be out in 2 weeks and will be filming more :)

[@paulathwaites1699]

A big thank you from Australia, for another great workout. I have been following your plans since January. I have noted a big difference with toning my body menopausal body and my mental health. Your workout is great for a busy person, even my Chiropractor has noticed and asked about your channel to recommend to other time poor clients. Keep up the great work!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s incredible! I’m so glad to hear that. Good for you for being so consistent since January! Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me ❤️

[@taniasnyman9602]

1st Day done. Haven't excerised in a few months, and it is so good to be back. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos: the timer, the alternatives, the written descriptions, and your amazing workouts!! I really appreciate it and all you do, thank you! All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank you! Yes it is a lot of time and effort but I genuinely enjoy it .. and the community here is so appreciative! Thank u and I’m so glad u enjoyed it!

[@MicheleLumadue]

Rachel thanks so much for the workout. I loved this workout. I don't have the same bar as you so I couldn't get the bar to roll for rows. I am going to check out your recommendation. I found you by doing the wall pilates workout and have loved every one of the workouts that I have tried. Thanks so much.

[@dedickerson8064]

July 2024 challenge day 1 done! Thank you so much! I did the dumbbell modification with my 8# & used my kettlebell and 10# med ball as well for the squats and rows! I was trying to find a way to use therabands, but then someone in the comments mentioned ankle weights! Perfection! I burned 329 calories! Thank you Rachel! ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow love the ingenuity! Great job!!

[@alwestover]

Thank you so very much for all your wonderful videos. I am a 64 year old woman and completed your 28 day Pilates/wall challenge and loved it. I am now starting another one. I appreciate YOU!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You are so welcome!

[@LeighHodson]

Loving the bar! I did this work out a few weeks ago with dumbbells but decided I wanted to try the bar. Definitely has a learning curve with the straps and handling the bar but I really enjoyed it! I’m going back and doing a few of the older videos you have with bar. Please make more!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

that's great! yes quite a learning curve but once you get it it's a great piece of equipment to have at home! My new workout next week will be a quick pilates bar one for upper body :)

[@rebeccaKmua]

This was super challenging! I got my sweat on and I'm really sore from using the bar for the first time. Can't wait to try this more! 200 calories burned!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow great job Rebecca!! so glad you liked it

[@sherea29]

I had a bit of a blah episode for a few months and made the choice to make a change. I decided on your channel because you have the workouts already picked out for the month...no deciding on my part. However, I did not realize how fun this was going to be. That 30 minutes felt like 10. Thank you so much for the well organized video and workout plan. Appreciate you!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw thank u! Im so glad it was fun!!

[@TamaraTorrence-i8k]

I loved using the bar. The resistance was great. I have wanted a reformer but they are expensive and large and this might be a great compromise. I would love a playlist that incorporates quite a number of bar workouts - I know I can look up others but you are by far my favorite instructor. 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

thank u! I have a new arm one im editing now for Sunday :)

[@brittnyy113]

I love love LOVE this video! I'm new to Pilates, but I must say this video is so simple and easy to follow, while still providing a good burn! I'm now 2 weeks in and can complete the whole video without taking a break, whereas I had to when I first watched a few times. Also, after watching many other pilates bar videos on KZbin , I must say, yours is the simplest and yet still a good workout. More videos please Rachel 🙏🏾❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thank you!! Just posted a new one! All Standing Lower Body Pilates Bar (or Weights) Workout | Glutes, Thighs, Quads kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnSuqJ1niJWqhdE

[@parrisani]

Day 1 of the July challenge completed! This was a great workout Rachel! I don’t have the bar, so I used dumbbells and ankle weights. I burned over 200 calories. Please make more workouts like this one, and include dumbbell alternatives like you did here. Thank you for a great start to my day 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’m so glad u liked this!! Thank you and yes definitely making more 🙌🏼 great job on completing day 1!

[@soular_system]

Please do more full body pilates bar workouts! I use this almost every day, I like how you flow through your videos and instructions are laid out. I’d love if you dropped a few more pilates bar workouts to add to my routine 🙏🏻

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank you! I’m filming 2 this week! 🙌🏽

[@soular_system]

Absolutely loved this workout! Would love to see more videos using Pilates bar.

Rachel, I haven't worked out in 3 months! I fell off the wagon immediately after my wedding in early April. So happy to receive your email yesterday and start again with the 3-2-1! I definitely felt it!😅

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great!! I’m so glad you’re back and congrats on your wedding!

[@julieniemann3410]

Simply LOVE the exercises with the pilates bar. I have to said I was happy when I heard Rachel said the magic words: " Lets go stretch" 🤣

[@MrsRivera777]

Please do more with the bar! Just got one and love it!

Loved this and would love to see more Pilates bar workouts. I am a workout at home girl so don't have access to a reformer machine.

[@tashab7358]

Love this workout with the bar. You hit every muscle in my body. It was intense and made me sweat. Please more Pilates bar workouts ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

More to come!

[@DominiqueDjango-j1v]

More of these workouts with the bar, please!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’m so glad u liked it! Def more to come 😊

[@dawnbowman8034]

Day one completed ! Got me ready and awake this morning !

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay!! Great job!

[@jennypierquet1052]

Be awesome if you could walk us through your bar set up: weight used, how you shorten straps, feet placement and form. It’s a great tool but want to be using it optimally for the best results. It’s probably it own 101 video 😊. Thank u.

[@leslietucker1056]

love the bar workouts. Love to see more.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’ll be adding more in a few weeks!!

[@lauralancaster8330]

Thanks Rachel for the grratcstart to July🎉 looking forward to this 3-2-1 challenge

[@rachelsfitpilates]

so glad to see you here!! great job!

[@naomibailey6886]

July 1st ✅ no bar for me … (yet 😃) but still a great workout with dumbbells and ankle weights 🥰 thanks Rachel ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great! I’m so glad you’re here Naomi!!

[@JaneLoggins]

My husband and me really enjoyed the Pilates Bar workout. We hope you have more bar workouts coming! Do you know if there is an extender for the Pilates Bar? My husband is retired military and the smaller length of the bar was difficult for him to position over his shoulders.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I have not seen one.. those are hard for me too.. he may want to use dumbbells during those ones!

[@olaadekunle1475]

Great workout thank you!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're so welcome!

[@juliferrandoathanasakos6159]

I swear in just 2 weeks of doing this workout 3 days a week along with alternate 2 day water aerobics workouts I could see a difference and feel a difference. Leaving me is my middle aged , well that's if I live to be 124😂 white lady flat butt. It's already reshaping. This isn't easy for sure but this is worth it! And I also do the 15 minute pilates abs after this one so I'm pretty beat by the time I'm done.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s amazing!

[@rocio5770]

Great workout! Please make more !!! One question, I am 5'10", is it normal that when I have the bar over my shoulders it is a little uncomfortable? Any suggestions? Thanks for all you do!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thank you! Wow yes being that tall that is a lot of resistance! You may want to either use a lighter band weight for any exercises that bother your shoulders (if your bar came with more bands).. or do the underhand for the ones we are lying down. If it’s for the standing work, and u can’t change out the bands, I would just have a set of dumbbells close by and swap the bar for dumbbells for any press/overhead shoulder

[@ChristinaBarroso]

Thank you so much!!! ❤

[@louisecumberbirch2141]

Absolutely loving the intermediate level ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

so glad to hear that Louise!

[@destinyropelewski1922]

Holy crap that was awesome! 👏🏼 💪🏼

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Glad you liked it!! Did u use the bar or dumbbells?

[@destinyropelewski1922]

Dumbbells, have to get the bar as it looks more effective with resistancez

[@rachelsfitpilates]

@@destinyropelewski1922 both are great! but yes for some of the exercises the bar definitely makes it more intense!

[@maryward8091]

This was a great workout!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’m so glad u liked it!

[@ritaalicea6460]

I had some difficulty working with the bar it was my first time so the floor exercises were a challenge Any advice to have better control when using the bar. 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’ll have to make a YT short abt it to help with form!

[@triciabernard6097]

Wow. Good morning Rachel. This is a difficult one😅

[@ameiramohammed7553]

thank you 😊💪🏽

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're welcome 😊

[@blankaszigili3068]

Hi Rachel! I just have one question: do you think parts of this workout? workout can be done with a long resistance band? (I have both short and long ones) Thanks! 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yes that’s a great idea!

[@erinsymone1645]

Eek! First day of the July calendar (the 3-2-1 version) is done!!
