Advanced Pilates Reformer Core & Lower Body #23 (Mini Ball)

[@Aasenzeng]

Everyone of your videos are so interesting and refreshing. The resources for Pilates here in China is quite limited, I’m glad that your channel exists! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thanks so much, really appreciate it! Glad you found my channel and I can share some of my ideas and exercises with you! It’s always nice to get inspiration from other people, I definitely do!

[@karenbennett9464]

Another great workout!, I do have a online pilates subscription, but find myself coming to your site more and more, simply because I really like the workouts, and it’s free!!..thx once again!

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Love to hear that! Thank you so much for always coming back!

[@marylarussa617]

What a combination! The most creative use of the ball on the reformer. Fantastic as always.

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thank you Mary! Love using the pilates ball, one of my favorite props!

[@jenniferp2676]

This is one of my favorite classes of yours! Thank you!

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Awesome, love to hear that! This was a fun one to create!

[@cindypinkerton5044]

Enjoyable class - thank you 🙏

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Awesome! So glad you liked it! 😊

[@razanabdelhadi664]

Thank you soo much for your workouts, i had the reformer for about a year now, i never worked out as much as now because of you, love all of your workouts and i can notice a difference in my body . Please keep posting 🤗

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Awesome! So glad you are getting use of your reformer, it’s such an amazing piece of equipment. It’s definitely easier to do when someone else is telling you what to do 😊

[@TotalPackagePilates]

OMG both sides standing inner thighs - SO sore already! Can't wait to do this in class

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Yes this one is killer on the inner thigh! Love this workout 😊

[@roxyracz6821]

Great variations again 🙌🏻Ta🌸

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thanks so much, really appreciate it!

[@nicoleanthony6817]

I've been subbing a lot of reformer classes recently and was hitting a rut-this class was great and gave me inspiration for my class last night. Students loved (or hated haha) the ball behind the knee series with the side-lying. Thanks again for another great workout and teaching inspiration!

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Hey Nicole, I know what you mean about getting into a rut! I get like that all the time and I’m always looking for inspiration and new ideas too, so I’m glad this workout could contribute to yours! The best part is you might see an idea and you can put your own spin on it or combine it in a workout a different way! Thanks so much for sharing this, love to hear that 💕

[@chriswalker7972]

So exited for the new class. Thankyou always something fun! Today my favourite was the ball and hip split feel those tomorrow.

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Awersome! The ball is probably my favorite prop, so much to do with it! My inner thighs were definitely sore the next day after this one 😊💪

[@chriswalker7972]

@@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis I knew it!! People do under appreciate the humble pilates ball It is definitely the most versatile.

[@veronicablackburn2744]

[@amandawills8955]

My abs were glad when this workout was over. 😂🥵🔥 Thanks for another great workout!

[@watchanonsombutjaroensuk1444]

Nice class creative use of the ball.

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thanks so much! Love trying to be creative with props and exercises

[@niclrig]

Another fab class. Thank you so much 😊

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thank you so much! Love to hear that 💕

[@realinepilates4593]

Whew! Lotsa fire!!

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Hahah love that! 💪

[@chivonnej24]

This one was tough! but also great workout. Thanks

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thank so much! I like the workouts to be challenging but do able! So glad you liked the workout 💕

[@RhiReviews]

Bloody great work out for the Abs, but given the first half purely focuses on core, I did think the title of this workout should have noted it's a very core focused workout. I ended up stopping after the halfway mark to find another work out for my legs and arms. I'd still come back and do this again when I want a really decent core workout tho!

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Appreciate the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the abs section. You must have stopped just before the leg section because the second half of the workout starting around 23 minutes is inner thighs, quads and glutes.

[@XtinaRenee]

Love..love..love…

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thank you!!! 😊

[@efieftihiastaurianidou]

You are the best

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thanks so much! Greatly appreciate it!

[@Robbi73]

I did it for the second time this morning and appreciated it even more (also my abs and inner thighs 🥵😅). To be done again and again!!!!

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Haha love to hear that!! Definitely made my abs and inner thighs sore, so glad you’re feeling it too 💪

[@jennyanderson8830]

Loved this workout! Quick question, is the reason we didn't do both sides kneeling and both sides standing because of the slow 5 count in and both of our inner thighs should have been working at the same time? I just want to make sure that I am doing things right.

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Thanks! Yes that is correct, both kneeling and standing, work the inner thighs so just wanted to switch up the variation so it didn’t get so boring because I do go slow in those movements

[@SA-vw6rr]

Thank you! How many days a week should I do it?

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

I always recommended trying to do 3 days per week, because the consistency is where you will notice changes in strength and flexibility. However, it should be a goal that is realistic with your schedule so if you can only do 2 days do that.💪

[@teamchernova]

Hi dear! Please write which springs did you use in each exercise? Thanks

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

I started writing the spring I use on workout #66 and every video after that. Unfortunately there is no way to add the springs on the videos that are already uploaded.

[@teamchernova]

@@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis ok ) thanks 🩵

[@shawndasmith9130]

where did you purchase the neck support?

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

I got mine on Amazon for a company called custom craft works: here is the link: amzn.to/3G3K5eq

[@ginawhite6272]

Forgot to ask - do you know the size of the yoga ball you used in this video? The one I have is too small.

[@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis]

Hey Gina, My ball is 9in.Got mine on amazon...amzn.to/3vnDvdN

[@ginawhite6272]

Thanks so much!!

[@E.T.R_FITNESS]
