Beginner Pilates for Weight Loss & Strength 28 Day Challenge Day 1

Beginner Pilates for Weight Loss & Strength Challenge Day 1
Find all the workout here: • Beginner Pilates 28 Da...
This full body pilates workout is a great routine to implement whether your goal is pilates for weight loss, full body strengthening, or giving your body a more "toned" look. This routine includes a warmup, a full body pilates workout with no equipment, and cooldown stretching. My pilates workouts are easy to follow, use simple cues, and have a balanced approach to cueing- talking for form tips and giving you breaks from talking to focus on the movements. I use elements commonly found in fitness videos like interval timers to keep the pace moving in between exercises, and to allow you to focus on the movements, rather than counting repetitions. My hope is that this routine will be easy to follow, easy to understand my cueing, effective at challenging and strengthening you and supportive to your weight loss/ wellness journey.

Hello Rachel, I just discovered you on KZbin today as I've been looking for wall pilates/strength/weight loss free program. I love your mindset and how you are real and not sugarcoating things up. I just started "Beginner Pilates for Weight Loss & Strength 28 Day Challenge" and completed Day 1! I printed the calendar and hung it in my kitchen so I can cross off every workouts. I am a mom of a little girl that will turns 4yo in June, can't wait to see the results at the end of the month. 😃 Thank you for sharing your knowledge and make it accessible to everyone!

[@lisap6148]

I'm 63 and this is Day 1 for me! Commenting each day is how I'm holding myself accountable. Thanks Rachel! Good luck everyone! Stay positive!

[@dryukta]

Rooting for you girlie!!! Waiting for it

[@ThandsTV]

Today is my day one and I loved it. Can't wait for tomorrow!

[@txrn79]

After months of not going to the gym and gaining weight, I decided to try this and hopefully see some change. Losing weight is harder now that I'm not in my 20 or even 30s. This workout felt very doable and these were moves that even I could do without feeling breathless.

[@stefanihinojos4197]

I've been struggling for months to get back to working out and this was honestly a great way to ease back in. Thank you ❤

[@jessicamroz5545]

I just went back to work after being a stay at home mom for 14 years! I was able to build work outs in to my day, but now I come home SO exhausted. Since August, I've put on 10 lbs and have been frustrated feeling unable to fit exercise in to my "new" life. I'm super excited to have found this as I can easily fit it in to my morning routine. I've printed out the schedule and look forward to starting day 1 tomorrow! 🤞

[@Alex-mu6sm]

I've been putting this off because I thought it'd be too hard but you made it so simple to understand and I actually felt like I wanted to do the exercises correctly - instead of just "good enough" to get by. Thanks!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw im so happy to hear that! keep up the great work!

[@jennifermacklin4957]

Today I will do the Day 1 challenge and get started. I'm 50 years old and I've never been regimented in any kind of workout routine. I'm tired of complaining about my body and am tired of feeling bad about myself. I'm going to comment every day I complete a challenge to hold my self accountable. I know I can do this, I just need to get started.

[@user-dm8oe2kn9x]

1st day in the books. Love it short and sweet ❤

[@hizkitten36]

I have never used exercise as a way to achieve overall wellness, but my body is telling me it needs it. My flexibility is a joke and I feel older than I need too. I feel like this is something that I can commit to as a personal challenge, whereas Ive always given up with high impact as a beginner though thin, i wasnt fit or flexible enough to follow though. I am average weight , 120 , 52 year old female. Active with work , but changed careers 4 months ago and am not getting the cardio I did for 25 + years .. I am also naturally lazy so finding something that keeps my interest is a blessing... I am so looking forward to challenging myself to take the action needed to get where I really want. Here's to 2024. My goal is to gain superior flexibility and drive to ultimately combined this with strength training to transform my overall wellness. I can see its vital for my body and mind to feel good agaiñ. Thank you for this opportunity.

[@taragilbert1306]

I am so glad I found your videos! I am going through menopause and weight loss is just becoming so impossible but I’m sticking it out. Going to the gym and adding this Pilates routine. I think it’s really going to help me. I love how relatable you are and how just honest you are in your comments and advice for Pilates. I’m very excited to complete this challenge. Thank you so much for posting this and for making them free that is very much appreciated.😊🎉

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You are so welcome! I hope it helps too!

[@riverbeck70]

I am so happy to have discovered this and will start my routine today! I have plantar fascitis and its been difficult to find the exercise that doesnt aggravate it. Since I got it its been challenging to keep a good weight, so I gained and had to pause Zumba and Muay Thai. I think this routine would be perfect for my condition plus doing Intermittent fasting- I can lose the weight I gained and get back to exercises I love the most. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to starting! Have a blessed 2024!

[@Velathuria]

Thank you for making something so low impact and simple! Short and sweet, but still targets the muscles. I will be adding this to my nighttime stretching routine.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great to hear!

[@melissatavares5832]

Day 1 completed. I followed it with the stretches, and that felt great! Thank you. Looking forward to the rest of the challenge.

[@explora924]

I do pilates as a toning practice but my main forms of working out are yoga (daily) and cardio (treadmill, bike, walking 3-4x a week). So nice to find pilates workouts on the more gentle side such as this one.

[@samanthanoland6882]

I just completed day one! I am ready to take my life back and be there for my family fully. I cried a little when i couldnt lift my pelvis up with one leg in the air. However, i cried even harder after the workout because even though it was hard for me, I did it. I did it to the best of my ability. As long as I keep showing up that is what matters! It can only strengthen me 🤍 Looking forward to the next 27 days! I might pair this with a short walk as well.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You did a great job! Just do what you can it’s totally OK to modify or take breaks if needed and yes walking would be wonderful with this plan

[@ginathomas9614]

Each day will get easier and better for you. Like you said, you showed up and that’s great. Keep up the great work. 🫶🏻

[@rachelsfitpilates]

im so glad to hear that!

[@davenawilson9231]

So hey everyone Just an update, as I stated consistency was my problem and as any other human I have an excuse which is work 😢. Anyways I have started again and the only way I can sustai until it becomes a habit is to drink pain killer, because the pain keeps me from going again after about a week.

[@jennifervalentine7807]

I’m so excited! I am 11 weeks post back surgery and I have been watching these videos during my recovery time, waiting to be cleared by my dr, and until I felt comfortable enough to do bridges. Tonight I was able to make it through this entire session with zero pain. Huge thanks for this easy to follow workout. I will follow it to build strength and then move on to more challenging ones. 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow that is so awesome!! im so happy to hear that. Back surgery is tough, I used to work as an occupational therapist in the hospital helping patients after back surgeries. that's incredible you're already active like this at 11 weeks, good for u! I hope you continue to find my workouts helpful :)

[@claudinehubert6909]

I did a different Day 1 challenge of yours before I found the 2024 version - I'll continue tomorrow with the new version. I also printed the calendar. My goal is geared towards toning, but more importantly towards finding myself inside my body after a period of intense stress. I am combining this workout with a daily short ministepper routine, and I will continue going to the pilates gym once or twice a week with my partner as our special couples activity. Thank you for helping me find accountability

[@rachelsfitpilates]

that's great! yes I have a wall plan and this mat challenge :) I love your plan! hope you like it!

Good afternoon! Dumb question , How did you print out the calendar? It only shows less than half of calendar on my printer. I know I am not very computer savvy but just can not configure it out. LOL It is on letter size also. Thank you and good luck with your challenge.;;I am so ready to get my old body back:)

[@Godfidence282]

Okay, so I was on day 7 for the walk Pilates and I needed to be honest with myself, I am not there yet😢 I stopped mid video because I was getting discouraged. In order to combat that, I accepted where I am, looked for a beginners Pilates, and will restart for day 1. I want to focus on form vs “just getting it done”. I’m proud of myself for even acknowledging this. I will print this PDF out and I will say that is my Day 1🎉 I will reach back once done.❤

Hello, i just finished the first beginner 28 day challenge and am starting this now. I do get a little thrown off as there are so many videos to choose from. Makes me feel like i'm not sure what to do first. I really like that you are doing your own research and are open to making more videos to help others. I like your personality, videos and look forward to them. thank you for all your doing. : )

Aw thank you! Yes, I do have a couple 28 day Pilates challenges so it can be confusing, but the best way is to follow the challenge calendar. If you need help finding it, you can leave a brand new comment… When you reply to these comments it’s hard for me to find them

Just started the 28th day challenge on a 35 degree day here in Aus. Sweating so much loved it.

Today is my day one and I feel fantastic :) this is my first time doing Pilates and I think this is the type workout I need in my life, it was equal parts challenging yet relaxing. Very happy and excited to complete this challenge by the end of the month :)

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're so welcome!

Today is my day 1! I plan to do this challenge everyday except Sundays, so it will be stretched out a bit longer than the 28 days. More than anything I want to feel stronger and more toned. Slow and steady. I want this to be a new habit that lasts much longer than 28 days!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You’ll be surprised at how much u enjoy it! And yes love the plan, make it work for u 😊
