28 Day Pilates x Strength Challenge | DAY 7 | Full Body Pilates

[@BBarn711]

I’ve been doing your workouts since the beginning of August. We are around the same age and as I get closer and closer to 40, I want to feel stronger in my body. I for sure feel stronger, but it has also helped my plantar fasciitis tremendously. Thanks so much. It really helps to have varying lengths of workouts. I have 3 boys and some days I only have 15 extra minutes after walking the dog.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s fantastic to hear! I’ve had plantar fasciitis before as well so I know your pain 😢 definitely helps to do workouts like this! Thanks for your comment

[@julieniemann3410]

Hi Rachel. This is the first time doing this workout. I loved everything about it. I will definitely do this one again. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️😂

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're so welcome!

[@Anitarodgers]

I am so glad I found your videos. I am on day 3 of 3. Your videos are so easy to follow and your instructions are so clear. They are hard enough that I feel it, but not so difficult that I do not want to do them anymore. Thank you.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank u!! So glad you like them!

[@yohane2787]

Thank you, I couldn’t workout for a few months bc of my exams and now I’m not capable of doing longer workouts and this one really helps me get used to working out again

[@julieniemann3410]

I loved this routine I used weights on some of the workouts. I know it was a stretching workout but for me I. Ended to ramp it up a bit. Thank you so much for this great workout! See you again soon. 😘

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great! Glad you made it work for you 😀

[@leeanne7607]

I added weights too 👍🏼

[@Maria.j1984]

Sticking with the intermediate challenge for November. This felt amazing at the end of my day. 😊 I work at a desk for 8 hours a day and I'm still struggling with some stiffness, but, I was surprised at how much my body needed this routine. Thank you so much!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

thats great! so glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexisellison837]

I’m 21, I weigh over 250 lbs and I need to lose weight. I’ve struggled with managing my weight since being off the depo shot and my mom suggested this channel to me

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’m so glad she did! I hope you enjoy the workouts 🙂

[@Kimisloved]

I LOVED this workout with a resistance band. I will definitely do this often. A suggestion would be to give a bit more time after giving instruction because the band takes a bit more to prep and adjust. I hope we have more of these in the future!! ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw thank u! yes good idea!

[@mrstappps]

Needed this today, loved the music too! Thanks! 😘

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! Thanks Chelsie!!💕

[@enidbozic7333]

Still fighting a cough but I managed to do this workout and do feel energized. Thank you!

This really is a gentle workout, but don't be fooled by the name 😅 I can feel every muscle of my body, now that I've completed the workout 😂 Also, I enjoy the calm music very much. Perfect to gently wake up in the morning, or to wind down in the evening. Very versatile. Thank you ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw good! Thank you!

[@flightwife1828]

Absolutely loved this one. Instead of rest I chose to try this & I feel fantastic. One could also add wrist and or ankle weights if they wanted a more intense workout. I do hope you'll do more videos like this. My new favorite gentle lazy day work out. 💜💜💜

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! I’m so glad you liked it and great suggestions!

[@flightwife1828]

@rachelsfitpilates I've been doing your workouts since April of this year. I have Lupus, fibro, & RA & have had 3 spine surgeries. I'm 45 & growing up I was a dancer, cheerleader & softball player. My point I was always active. When I was diagnosed over 20 years ago & started having chronic pain & other problems I found I couldn't continue my workouts & be as active. I've tried so many different workout routines & my body could never handle any of it. Then I found u. You have changed my life, for the better, in so many ways. Mentally & physically. I started with your beginner 30 day wall pilates challenge & I've not looked back, never missing a day. My confidence has skyrocketed. My mental health has improved tremendously. My chronic pain has decreased in intensity. My daily life is a lot more sunnier. My husband can see a huge improvement & now he's even doing them with me. He's a flight attendant so your workouts are perfect for him as they're easy to stick with on hotel overnights. Thank you, Rachel, from the bottom of my heart. I'm so grateful for you & so appreciative of your kindness & time you give for free to help others. Lots of love, from TX. 💜💜💜

[@alisonbradfield]

So I have done a few of your workouts and find them pretty great, but have an issue with staying consistent. None the less I am looking to start over, I am perimenopausal and I am looking for workouts that a good for women at this stage. Would your work out help with that, looking to loose that meno tummy 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thank you! I would try my Sept 20 min/day calendar! rachelsfitpilates.myflodesk.com/sept321light

[@esroskesafos3533]

Those ecercises are greater thna great

[@zeinabmansaray9726]

Hi Rachel, am on the heavier side, and it seems I have injured my wrists by being on the four position. Can you suggest an alternative to being on all fours position. Thanks.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

hi! does it bother you even in this video where we are on the forearms?

[@zeinabmansaray9726]

@@rachelsfitpilates forearm positions work fine but then for some moves I feel my back won't be like a table top as seen in the videos. I feel no pain though on forearm. I was actually doing your other video where we were on all fours and then lifted our knees (not sure of what the position is called) that's what hurt my wrist. I know I should have waited to build the strength as this is my first time in my life practicing pilates, but I got so excited and wanted to be perfect .. lol.. Also if I clench my palms instead of keeping it open on the floor, I don't feel pain but am scared balancing my whole weight on my palms at the moment isn't right. So I should substitute those type of moves with being on my forearm instead?

[@oconnormichelle61]

Hi 👋 ...... I'm no instructor, but i sometimes get wrist pain or lower back pain, i find foam blocks can help lift your arms off the ground and take some pressure off 🤷🏻‍♀️ might help you, keep it up tho you'll get stronger ❤ ​@zeinabmansaray9726
