It is deceptively challenging! Do let me know what you think in the comments below. Take care, Rachel 💕

Hi Rachel, just wondered what kind of qualifications you have as I just wondered where you Learnt to do Pilates? Thanks

[@Rosiesunnyday]

Also, can you do more 30 minute resistance band standing Pilates for beginners videos if you can. Thanks so much for your videos, really loving them

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

@@Rosiesunnyday Hello Fiona, do have a look at my website rachellawrencepilates.com where you can read all about my Pilates Journey and qualifications. I have many qualifications but the first one was the Basi Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training with additonal Dance Specilaisation. I became Fully Certified to teach in 2011, this was after 10 yeras of practice as a client and then 500 Hours of study, practice, apprentice teaching and observation of other teachers. A very demanding but excellent training course. Since then I have attended many other course for my CPD. 🤗

[@carmenross1077]

Wow I never used to do this before years ago, forgotten it and found it again today and was able to do them all. I learned over the years of consistent exercising that it works for strength. Consistency truly is the keyword. Been consistent x over 3 years now 5 days a week consistent exercise. Thanks for all you do Rachel you’ve touched a lot of people especially on the poorer side.❤❤❤❤❤

[@valbowles8494]

This was great. Challenging. I did not have a band, but managed to improvise with a cord that had resistance. I will get a band. Thank you.

[@user-jv6ob7tx5q]

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Glad you made it work for you 😊

[@kalipress4338]

Today I used another band. I will remind me to get a pilates band. i like the way you mix up standing and mat work. Also, I like to mix up weights and bands.I feel it works the muscles differently. I appreciate your excellent teaching.

[@susanmcisaac747]

I did this class later in the day about 10 am Canada time. It was one of the best classes I have done with Rachael. Great work, loved all of it!

Hello, I was working out with high impact cardio, never had yoga classes or Pilates, I started watching your videos, here I am I can’t believe how good these workouts without jumping specially that I have a few serious injuries and just turned 66 years old lol, I am very happy following you and getting the benefits to stay strong and fit, thank you for the hard work you’re doing for all of us, stay strong and safe !!!

[@lorrainepichard3493]

I am still following this one , about three times a week, since 6 months ago. However i enjoy all of your videos for seniors. At 73 I feel my arms are getting stronger, and my breathing better. Thankyou so very much, for your pleasant manor and encouragement.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're very welcome Lorraine, so pleased to hear how you are feeling the benefits of this session. I have just filed a new session for Seniors which you might like to try, it will be out on Sunday this week. Keep going, you're doing great! 🌟😊

Hi Rachel. First time I've worked with a band today. I'm 60 in 2 weeks and would love to do a seniors band workout x

[@710totem]

Thank you so very much, Rachel, for another fantastic resistance band exercise! I find using the band for exercise is very beneficial to my old injuries, beaten up senior body. The full body stretches/exercises are very strengthening, making me feel invigorated and much less achy !! Thank You, from North Carolina, USA

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Oh that is wonderful to hear! So glad the aches and pains are put to rest with a little pilates and resistance band work. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day 😊

[@debbietodd5662]

Thanks Rachel great class. I love using the flexi band I find it really does focus the concentration and targets the areas we're working on. more classes using the band please x

[@yvonnethompson3999]

Finally got a flexi band and loved this session ❣️Some creaky joints but great routine since our fitness center is still closed. This will be added to your other classes that i do regularly since beginning of Covid. You are such an inspiration Rachel...thank you 🥰

[@dianasuarez1779]

I saw this before but skipped it because it doesn't say it's for senior but curiosity got into me today and decide to try it, I'm glad I did. I didn't think I could do this because I have problem with both my shoulders. Thanks Rachel for sharing us your energy and expertise to make this particular senior feel better

[@carmenross1077]

I’m senior you never know until you try and you’ll be amazed how your body will cooperate over time.

I love working with the band, and almost love this band routine a bit more than your other band exercises! These exercises are fabulous. I'd love more arm and upper back exercises. Those muscles need strengthening.

for me this is one of the best workouts! Thank you so much Rachel

Hi Rachel! That was a fabulous workout! Thank you for giving us such variety and different exercises through the weeks. Your work and effort is much appreciated.

Just did this one, awesome , love working with the bands!

[@viviangerlach9815]

This is a great class. I love the standing classes the most and this was no exception. This is a good workout - deceptively simple, you work hard. I did it without a band, mirroring the movements without a band, and it is a great workout with or without a band. Thank you for another great class.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hello Vivian, thanks so much for your comments and feedback. Really good to hear you enjoyed the session and felt it, in a good way without the band. Thanks so much for supporting my channel 😊

Very nice indeed! Love the use of the band , my dodgy knee didn't complain too much either! If you could do a be mindful of knees comment whenever the arthritis might find a challenge! More classes on knee and hamstring flexibility would be wonderful!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hello Jane, thanks for your comments and glad the knees were ok. I’ll try and remember to cue the ‘be mindful of your knees’ next time I do a standing session too- thanks for reminding me. Also noted the stretching exercise request. Take care and best wishes, Rachel 😊
