41MIN Power Pilates // Day 9: HR12WEEK 5.0

[@Joanna_Crow]

I loved the fact that the 3rd set was the easiest 🙏🏻 (or maybe I just prefer such exercises😉)

[@beenaturalbalm]

I thought so too!

[@darlenechakalos1617]

💯 agree 👍

[@rhiannamcdonald2349]

Yes agreed!

[@mandycooke5622]

I really struggled with the first two sets! Didn’t enjoy them at all 😂 glad I picked up in the end though, onward and upwards!

[@vickicornwell8028]

Totally agree!

[@jorymagel3182]

I did the last 12 week program Oct-Dec. I’m doing this one now. It is honestly kicking my ass. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like this one is harder and more intense?

[@АннаВилова-у7ф]

Yes, I feel like you🔥 real challenge

[@BrandiIngle]

Me too! I thought it's just because I'd been sick but it's killing everybody else too, so turns out I'm not a weenie 😂

[@JackieOSeven]

Yes!!! I just finished 4.0 two weeks ago so I thought I knew what to expect 😂. I was so wrong! Even the warm ups are harder!😂

[@paigepowell7038]

you're not the only one!!

[@lizzaninr8187]

OMG yes! This is definitely more intense and I think Heather actually looks stronger too!! If that’s possible💪🏻

[@aimeehunsaker]

Round 1 killed my wrists, round 2 was super challenging, but round 3 was 🔥🔥! This program is much more challenging than past ones, but I'm here for it!

[@itsjanetruth]

It is the most challenging one yet, for sure!!

[@NomadicHomebody]

Glad it wasn’t just me. I was on the verge of tears.

[@Usernamemel]

Definitely had to modify for my wrists

[@jenscloset]

THAT was tougher than I thought it would be!! Sneaky sneaky pilates!

[@gracemac8]

I really appreciate the new creative warm up moves Heather. Keeps it interesting right from the start. And the new pilates, strength and cardio moves also..so much creativity in this new series!!!

[@michaelacrosby3566]

Day 9 done! I was feeling very very discouraged with myself during the first section. I could not do the movements right with weights, so I dropped them, but still had to be on my knees so they weren't right. So discouraging. But thankful for an awesome husband that kept encouraging me to keep trying, any movement is better than none at all. I have to keep telling myself, anything I do is better than nothing. I've just got to keep going and take it day by day. Thank you Heather for a challenging workout. I'll be back tomorrow. ❤

[@rhiannamcdonald2349]

I was feeling discouraged during the first circuit as well, definitely had to modify! Nice job making it happen and nice to have a good supporter!

[@Belfastboi]

You’re not alone it was way too hard. Im not too strong in that area. Well done for finishing ❤

[@traceythompson7895]

Don't feel bad. The 1st segment was way too much on my shoulders as well. I should have just swapped out to something entirely different to get a benefit.

[@EPL1916]

There is nothing wrong with modifying as you need. So don't be discouraged. You showed up and did it. YAY YOU!!!!

[@bintsaleh]

Same

[@welutha]

Loved the warm-up, hated the first circuit, survived the second one, enjoyed the last third of the workout. Thank you Heather for intoducing me to new movements my body cannot (yet) do. I'm really looking forward to the strength supersets that are up next, can't wait to be back to some straightforward deadlifts ;)

[@MicheleC-x6o]

I love the new 5.0 - I feel like I can really control the movement and feel every muscle I am working. I don't feel rushed to do a bunch of reps. PS I ordered and just received the sweat shesh complete sweatshirt. It is soooo comfortable. If you want comfort, get one. Thank you, Heather!!

[@fashionstalks]

I’ve been loving these Pilates sessions in 5.0! The slower, controlled, intentional exercises are silent killers! I never feel like I need to do more when I’m done.

[@inhabitantofearth]

I'm just want to say, I appreciate the 5min warm up and cooldowns 🙂

[@Yorrala]

Where does this perfect control come from when Heather is doing a movement? She must have an incredibly strong core! This was a surprisingly tough workout, I had to modify quite a bit (thay side plank!). It would be great to show modifications for those who might struggle. Thanks for keeping us on our toes Heather!

[@georgies959]

I found this one really frustrating, round 1 I'm not capable of side planks on my wrists and was disappointed there was no modification suggestion. Round 2 and I kept needing to modify, have up halfway through round 2 and did something different because I was so frustrated at spending most of the workout time standing around trying to figure out something else to do myself. I really liked in previous videos I've seen modification suggestions in the up next part and missed having them here.

[@aimeehunsaker]

@@georgies959 I felt the same way. Round 1 was nearly impossible for me. I ended up bending one knee and modifying that way.

[@thereseripoli1322]

My shoulder was bothering me so I went down to my knees for the 2nd exercise. If ever in doubt just simplify the exercise.

[@jeninehoefler3014]

After reading the comments I was scared, but made it through. I used to do Pilates all the time and miss it - thanks for incorporating into this program and for really upping the game with the weights. We appreciate you, Heather and team!

[@LauraineHR]

Round one smashed my shoulders and wrists as they had not yet warmed up. Round 2 killed my knees and finally by Round 3 I was back in love with Heather. 😜❤️

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

Eeek that’s a long time to warm up to me 😉 Thanks for sticking with it Lauraine!

[@ThisisEllyB]

In round 2 I accidentally hit my knee with the weights cuz I was too tired 😂 ouch , had to take a rest

[@silviahernandez8949]

​@ThiisisEllyB I have done this before 😅

[@emilyperry9014]

The relief i felt on thar last circuit when it finally showed workouts i was used to.

[@jillfletcher6096]

Felt under the weather, so dropped the weights, done what I could. Great practice though. Thank you Heather 🙏✨

[@EmmanuelleLabattut]

I love it ! But one of the most difficult since the beggining

[@itsjanetruth]

yes!!!!!

[@lizokeeffe8719]

Totally agree that first set hurt my shoulders so much!

[@EmmanuelleLabattut]

@@lizokeeffe8719 same

[@tinalibardi]

I loved this workout!! It's a keeper!! My shoulders were spent today, so I look forward to doing this again with my shoulders ready to work!

[@phillipaneely9626]

After Pilates today I may have a new fav over upper body. And I have a feel that will continue to change as we go through the weeks ahead! Here to say I’m still loving it

[@krichards5151]

Thanks for another great workout! You put so much time and effort in to all the aspects of each daily workout. Thank you for everything you do for us.

[@colinhenry2487]

I have Osteoarthritis in both hip joints and have tried many rehab type videos without any success. Today, I followed you along with Control Heather and it felt good in my hip joints. Very well structured movements. You have superb Control when executing the movements.

[@nataliya5972]

Such a great workout! Thank you, Heather. ❤ My brain is still in resistance because of too little cardio and non of no repeats in 5.0, but I am working on it. 🤭 I had to give it a power hour last week on a rest day to calm down. 😂 But 5.0 is the only program that gives me that sweet sensation of sore muscles. 😊

[@carolinemyers362]

Day 9✔️1/18/25....wowwwww never ever will I underestimate a Heather Robertson pilates workout. That first circuit was frustrating in a good way lol...pushed my abilities❤finished it off with HR standing abs

[@lenanaidu5667]

This is my first 12 Week program, thank you Heather😍🙏

[@lavurngaymes589]

Oh my goodness!!! 😮‍💨 I attempted this workout with light ankle weights. Well!!! I am not one to preview my next workout but I wish I did! I got through it and that’s the main thing. Thank you Heather. Power Pilates are the one 😌🤗

[@heiditodor5551]

That 3rd round of vote was just perfection. Love those controlled slower moves! Thank you, Heather!

[@andiswagumbi3248]

Oh my! That kicked my butt up and down and all around town!😢 Thank God for the 3rd circuit where I found hope that I’d make it to the cooldown. This is by far the hardest of Heather’s 12 week programs for me! But I’m here for the challenge! 💪🏽

[@zexie2011]

Omg can we talk about the playlist...🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@silviahernandez8949]

Yes!❤

[@clarefoster5463]

Best one yet by far

[@edgard88]

Love the integration and combination of all muscle groups! Thanks!

[@arushikulshreshth5184]

Wow one of my favourite workouts so far!! Loved how sneaky and intense it was without having to jump lol. 🔥🔥 Heather is the best!

[@QueenofHearts02]

Feeling great after this one....every Pilates workout I find of yours is like a treat I didn't know I needed! Thank you! 1/20/2025! (Two more repeats to go with this one).

[@necoe14]

I completely misjudged this workout based on the previews. It challenged me in a completely different way, and I ended up sweating a lot. Excellent job! 👍🏼

[@JujuSellsFamily]

Loving this series! This is one of her more difficult Pilates sessions (especially with the ankle weights!). Bringing the 🔥 and I am here for it!

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

It certainly was 🔥 Thanks for powering through it with me!

[@gardenhen4155]

This is my favorite Pilates workout that you have done so far! I feel so energized and strong after doing it! Thank you, Heather!

[@PieraB]

Never underestimate the power of Pilates! I squeezed out the last reps with all I had and DID IT! Thank you HR! Nothing feels better than getting stronger feels.

[@orlyp6202]

OMG, I will say that on repeat what a program!!!! thank you for being you HR and creating this amazing content and for free!!

[@natalieedwards5906]

Loved the way you boost standard Pilates moves with weights. You make these workouts look easy but they're anything but! 🙌🌟

[@mslilycake]

I really loved this one, Heather! Thank you 🥰

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

And thank YOU for this generous shoutout 🙏🏻 So happy you enjoyed this one! See you at the next one.

[@kiningajoy1848]

I never expected to sweat on this pilates. A bit challenging. Thank you Heather

[@starlynn57]

Pilates have been my most challenging form of fitness since I’ve never incorporated them into my workouts; they take more balance!! I’m enjoying the challenge! Thank you! Onto day 10!

[@vanessaloganwentzloff1053]

I have done most of your Pilates workouts and this is my favorite! So challenging even with light weights (I was doing 2 pounds or 5 pounds for most)

[@maggiesmith580]

never underestimate Pilates with, Heather 💪🏽

[@marthabroz8270]

That's because we're STRONGER and Heather knows it!💪And we can DO it!

[@jennipherward9148]

Your body is powerful and this pilates class proves it!

[@MegsFavoriteThings]

Loved that the last set fired up my core with out too much strain on my neck!

[@hjkayel9610]

Love this! Can’t wait to do it tomorrow morning

[@lynngardner76]

This was awesome! I wasn’t excited to do it but once I got going it was great! I loved using some heavier weights with the Pilates it really upped the game! 🔥! Thank you!

[@hannaclayton241]

My favourite of the new series so far 🎉 Thank you HR ❤

[@mariaeugenialinarez5419]

Esta muy bueno esta nueva rutina de 12 semanas. Hace unos años te descubrí y vengo haciendo ya varios entrenamientos. Mi recuperación posrparto lo arranque contigo y me encanto. Gracias por el profesionalismo y la variación de las rutinas , combinar ejercicios de fuerza . Hiit ,pilates,. Acá vamos al día 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@dollylopez5207]

I’m shaking 🫨😅❤ loving the program!

[@alliterationUK]

My favourite time of the week! I was trained in ballet age 3-17 and love Pilates.

[@denicedancasey]

The first part of this one was a real struggle for me as I have shoulder issues and side planks disagree with the pain in them. So I modified using a bi5 lighter weights plus a leg halfway down. The rest was excellent! Thanks Heather! ❤❤❤

[@yvonnereeves8308]

Yes, I have shoulder issues as well and modified as you did.

[@DiannaSferra]

Loved the 3rd circuit!!

[@akirgc]

Me costó mucho trabajo pese a que use 6 y 3 LB me siento muy fatigada de los hombros. Tuve que estar haciendo pausas y modificaciones porque no logré hacerlos corridos. Es una excelente rutina. Estoy aún sentida de una vieja lesión en hombro así que tendré que ser paciente para recuperarme y lograr un trabajo sostenido. Gracias HR estoy aprendiendo de esto. ❣

[@lindacollins2885]

Love the graceful & controlled contemporary pilates style with resistance. Look for more.

[@LRS_622]

Brilliant. Last circuit was my favourite ❤️

[@denisedziwak616]

I loved it and found harde with weights like side plank I had to go down to 5lbs to be able to stop from falling , nice challenge 😅 and so appreciative of warm ups and cool downs they are such and important part not only for the body but also for my mind to come to the workout❤ thanks

[@beenaturalbalm]

That second plank exercise!! Had to modify...maybe by the end of the challenge it will be possible! Great sesh

[@triciawainwright7054]

Can’t wait for this!!!! Thank you so much Heather!!! Have a beautiful day everyone!!!❤❤

[@joannepuglia8050]

First circuit was a challenge for me. Had to be on one knee .

[@allisonmorgan5048]

First round nearly killed me, very sneaky indeed!

[@HeatherAspinall]

Read comments before doing it thinking people were being dramatic... but they were right! Didn't expect to sweat that much, and definitely agree round 3 was a very happy ending after a very unhappy round 1 and 2 😂😂😂

[@melhamraoui]

Wow, Heather! Never underestimate Pilates with you-it’s deceptively tough but oh-so-effective! 💪🔥 The Side Clam & Kick had my glutes on fire, and that Bear Kick & Row Combo? Absolute genius! I love how you keep things fresh and challenging with creative moves like these. The warm-up and cooldown are always such a perfect touch, too. Thank you for making every day of this program exciting and rewarding. ❤🙏 #SweatSeshComplete #StrongerTogether

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

So happy to hear it!!

[@carolegilet6951]

It was sooo hard! It mostly targeted abs again and after the ab finisher yesterday, I already felt really sore. I started with those ankle weights but definitely had to remove them for the last part 😅

[@tinaadair4347]

W2 D3 today✔️ I swapped out the pike push up due to not being able to do inverted moves. Such a sweaty great workout! I love the different types of styles in this program! Body weight is just as challenging! Thank you Heather!

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

So awesome to hear you’re adjusting to make it work for you Tina 👏

[@tinaadair4347]

@ thank you so much! I am really loving your program and can’t wait to continue by doing some of your old ones after 5.0 is done! ♥️

[@camillatierney3694]

Ohhh that was hard but awesome!!!! Loved this class you are so clever with your sequencing thanks as always Heather.

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@ntokozotshabalala_]

Another Day in the bag❤❤❤ Definitely appreciate the Pilates, still challenging for me to get through. Thank you so much for making the workouts available for us who prefer to do sessions Monday-Friday 🎉🙌🏽💞🌸

[@ashleeasher543]

Wow!! What a sweaty and amazing sesh! Absolutely loved circuit 3! Heather you are simply the best! Thank you! ❤️

[@bonniebrown9969]

Oh wow that was super sweaty! Great challenge today, i love incorporating weights with my pilates workouts ❤ thanks Heather 😊🎉

[@heatherpurvis2792]

I previewed this prior to completing and didn't think I'd be able to do alot of it. i surprised myself. ! Thanks Heather. going strong💯

[@asmasaidi4355]

Day 9 done! Pilates is always the hardest workout for me but will keep doing it!

[@Rielsufficiency]

Can I say that my favorite part of these workouts is that I don’t have to count reps, when I am brain dead from work I can just follow along, listen to music and wait for the beeps! The workouts are great too 😉

[@Heatherrobertsoncom]

Oh I get that for sure! I’ll do the thinking for you on this one my friend.

[@Rielsufficiency]

@ 🩷😃

[@rosieramen]

This was challenging. I had a hard time with using the dumbbells with this workout. Power pilates killed me! Thanks Heather 😊

[@lindachadwick4115]

Definitely a challenge - love the power Pilates - had to lower the weights on some during the second round

[@lyndaait-ouaret3472]

As soon as we use little weights, wkout seems so hard...perfect wkout, feel great. Thanks a lot , Heather.

[@maryma986]

Heather! You are amazing! Love this workout, and you are right, really sneaky! Thank you so much for being amazing all the time!

[@krburke91]

I usually skip Pilates because it’s just not my thing. I skimmed through this and decided to do it. I am glad I did. This was exhausting! Thank you heather for another great workout! Are side planks a challenge for anyone else or is that just me?

[@laceymcleod985]

Jan 23/25 Phew 😮‍💨 Used 5lbs ankle weights. C1 12.5 lbs. C2 5 lbs. C3 5, 10, 12.5 lbs. Burned 260 calories.

[@irmabryant6979]

OK... This was tough!!!! I used 5lb and 12lb weights. SMH. Good stuff. 😊😊😊😊Thank you, Heather! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@GigTheory]

Who knew pilates could pack such a burn! 🔥

[@angelapassmore4175]

WOW...that was killer. Yes those light weights did sneak up on you... especially in the heel squeeze. Had to switch out my weights.😂 Wore some light ankle weights as well. Day 9✔️.❤

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Nothing like that sneaky pilates burn! Thanks Heather!
