Intermediate Pilates Mat Workout

[@514Susan]

This was at the pace of an authentic Pilates studio as taught by Pilates and his first generation of trained teachers and dancers Thank you!

[@CoreSelf]

Wonderful! Yes, I trained with Dorothee VandeWalle who trained with Romana.

[@chelsealand5023]

Thank you for this Brooke. I have come back to this many times over the past 6 years. It's always a good challenge!

[@evelily1975]

I’ve been doing the stomach series and chisel everyday for 3 weeks. Today I tried the intermediate mat. This has helped me so much physically and mentally and I look forward to it. It’s keeping me sane through this pandemic. Thanks ever so much!

[@CoreSelf]

Thank you so much for sharing this Eve-Lily! Are you still practicing Pilates?

[@karensloat1160]

After many years doing Pilates, I LOVE the quick pace of this workout and the quantity of basic Pilates exercises in it. I wanted more of a cardio, fast pace today. Thank you Brooke for this fun, stimulating workout!

[@Lyfs-Awsumm]

Good Morning i love this video!!! I have done EVERYDAY IN MAY video regularly for about 9mos. I tried the intermediate. It was great! I was able to do just about ALMOST all the positions. I had some trouble with the lifting on the cork screw. And with the neck pull i had to hold on to under my thighs. And with the teaser 1,2,3 i had to really work! Could not do them as smoothly as you did!😅 I'm almost 63 years old and have arthritis throughtout my body. Heres my question: Should I go back to the Everyday In May video or just keep trying with this one daily? I felt really great doing what i could in this intermediate video no pain anywhere! I would live to master this intermediate video! Thank You!😊❤❤❤

[@leoabbott296]

Thank you😊

[@elizabethrodriguez6746]

Perfect rendition of this classic series. Thank you!

[@CoreSelf]

Thank you so much! I love Classical Pilates. I have a training & mentorship program for Pilates teachers www.returnfivepilates.com and also a full online video mat program of Classical Pilates workouts for home at www.yourcoreself.com Take a peek there and see what you think!

[@llaattredhead]

I always love your workout would you consider doing an advanced good paste flow Pilates video around the same timing as you do with these, always great stuff. I have had vocal cord surgery, knee surgery and a broken foot in the last two years and as I have been able to press on. Your videos have been part of my daily workout to help me get through everything as a professional dancer, it's been so crazy. I love your stuff and would love to have more.. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

[@mattmitchell7122]

What a great resource. Thank you, Brooke! Pilates is not my main workout modality (I go to a CrossFit style gym) but this workout video is wonderful when I need a quick physical and mental boost

[@ericar4355]

I started out pre-Beginner with Brooke Siler's excellent book - this Brooke's videos have really helped me take it to the next level - everything is great about this workout and I really appreciate Brooke making this available for stay-at-home people like me.

[@CoreSelf]

Glad to hear it! The more Pilates at home for us all, the better. Good to hear it's part of your daily routine.

So glad to find this. Gym cancelled Pilates, and I've been searching for a replacement (I can do it myself, but prefer a coach)...this is a good aid for me!

[@danhope77]

hi! I find that (maybe because I have lumbar scoliosis doing abs (crunches) without bending my knees (keeping my legs straight) gives me a back ache. Ever heard of this problem? I never have any back pain if I don't keep my legs straight, this must be the problem.

[@naturebound2901]

I also have lumbar scoliosis (as well as severe osteoporosis in spine) and I had to stop taking Pilates classes (was taking them twice a week for several months doing exercises very similar to these). I was getting low back soreness and pain that was getting progressively worse. I think I was pushing myself harder than I should have and my core was not strong enough to keep up with the class. I thought maybe my back pain was due to straining and forcing my body through an exercise when I was too tired or weak to do that particular exercise full out. I don't want to give up Pilates as it has given me some awesome tight abs and toned my body overall even in just a few months, but I plan to modify some movements and go back to basic first and build my core strength before attempting intermediate exercises again. I sort of started in an intermediate class from scratch. At any rate, you are not alone with this!

[@CoreSelf]

Hey... yes, keeping your knees slightly bent is so often a great solution. As your spine builds flexibility and your core builds strength over time, your legs will be able to extend straighter... but for now, modify with bent knees and keep scooping!

Where is your thoracic BREATH if you are a coach Pilates?

[@brianmurphy5313]

She was talking while demonstrating. I am sure you knows the breathing technique, as well as more pointers that she couldn't say all of while simultaneously doing the work. She's human.

good moves but this is done way too fast.. the positions cannot be held proerly when the teacher goes so quickly

[@kaygarcia5125]

Love the routine, but too fast in order to do it properly.
