Former 5am gym rat here to say thank you for your videos! I stopped weight training in the fall of 2021, deciding to get an extra hour of sleep and take a 2.5 mile walk around my neighborhood instead. Knowing I really needed to do more, I found your 28 wall pilates challenge a couple of months back and loved it. I love that I can get a good workout in in around 30 minutes. I'm excited to start this new strength challenge, especially since I know how important using weights is for women as we age. Thank you!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

yess absolutely! our fitness routines can definitely change with the seasons of our lives, and its important to let them evolve. that's so awesome u did my wall pilates challenge. I hope you really enjoy this one as well!

[@desteneemartinez7304]

These types of workouts might be my favorite. As you know I began your workouts Jan 1 - I started them in prep for my trip to Iceland for which I leave tonight. Plan to do a lot of hiking so I'm hoping that all of the Pilates I've been doing will serve me well. Will be back with you end of May. Thanks for all your hard work in putting these videos together - they are so awesome!

Hi Rachel that was really a superb work out, I really enjoyed the challenge. I have to say that your pilates are so very professionally and it has helped me so much both physically and mentally.

Okay, I'm ready. Just finished the 28 days wall Pilates challenge and really enjoyed the workout each day. Now I feel that I'm ready to tackle this next challenge. Typically walk 2.5 - 3 miles a day. When I walk now I can feel the increased strength in my abs, glutes and legs. Bring it on!

[@alinekuehn4249]

I really like these type of workouts, and also like that you explain very thoroughly (although one small comment, how to breath should be explained more at the beginning of the exercise). Overall I didn't find the workout very challenging, used 4k dumbbells throughout, but let's see, maybe I will be pretty sore tomorrow

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thanks so much! If u have the ability I would used heavier weights. These can be a little slower with the explanations. I’m working on shortening the rest in my future workouts to make them more challenging!

[@trinipino1]

Wow wow wowwww what a good workout 🥵🥵🥵🥵

[@juliaozimina2986]

I changed from the beginner challenge to this one and it definitely is a better fit for me. I already am in a shape where I´m comfortable but I´d like to lose a little bit of weight and, in general, be stronger. Do you think that this challenges could help me with that? I wish you a wonderful day🥰

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yes absolutely! This is my hardest challenge with the longest workouts and most intensity. It builds up quite a bit from here. I hope u like it!!

[@MaeganGraceFuller]

Thanks Rachel! Grateful for your challenge! Starting today after falling off the exercise wagon. Great way to introduce myself back in with proper form and mobility. Newbie to Pilates and I love every second of it. I have a background of sports, dance, yoga, and weight training. I’ve been desiring to incorporate a routine that hits these different styles of movement: dance, Pilates, mobility, strength training animal flow. Exploring Pilates first to access movement and strength but was curious what your thoughts.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great! My channel is a mix of Pilates, which is like light strength training and actual weight training with dumbbells. A channel like move with Nicole is Pilates and yoga for example… so you can try my channel and maybe some others out and see if it’s a good fit for you! Hopefully it is 😁😁

You can add more if u like by adding in a walk or doing another video. I don’t do diet advice but I would recommend the app Carbon- Smart Diet Coach

[@noelogden1625]

Had to start over so new day 1 😅

[@irenesingleton2870]

HI Rachel, this was another excellent workout! Really enjoyable, and the time goes really quickly! I was wondering how long a workout you recommend doing each day to see results? Like the short videos, would you recommend doing 2 of them a day? I also mix it up other cardio. But this is the most enjoyable exercise ever! Thanks again.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoy these workouts. Yes the challenge videos are on the shorter side, I wanted to make it that way to keep it a "beginners" challenge. Results will vary depending on the activity level prior to starting, but in general to follow the ACSM physical activity guidelines I would aim for 150 min of activity per week for moderate intensity exercise like this. So 30 min 5x a week for example (pilates + your cardio) would be a great goal to aim for! You can add my workouts with more weights to make your wall pilates workout longer if you like!
