So good! I loved the challenging moves you threw in today! 🎉❤

Good morning Rachael An amazing workout, I really love it and it makes my body feel really great. Have a little problem with doing the scissors, keeping the body steady. I need to practice it some more. Thank you very much and have a blessed week-- end Love you all❤.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thanks for sharing!! And you, have a wonderful weekend xxx

[@essexcaz5685]

I don’t know how you keep coming up with something new! After a week of decorating this is just what my back needed. Thank you so much as always❤

[@kimb.2883]

Great intermediate session Rachel! I enjoyed the challenge, just right, some interesting new moves! Thank you!🤗🐕🌸

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're so welcome! Really glad to hear you enjoyed it xxx

[@eleanorkerr5709]

Great class. I am in between beginner and intermediate so a few of the moves were challenging. You mentioned a modification for the scissors but didn’t show it. Perhaps next time. Thanks so much for the variety of classes. ❤️🌷 🍁

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Great job! And the modification I said but didn't show was simply to do the movement lying on your back rather than with the pelvis elevated. So glad you enjoyed the class xxx

[@janettekenos3674]

Wonderful! I can’t think any ballerina or Pilates fan would suffer with back problems if these strengthening exercises were done properly and regularly. Thank you Rachel 👏 I plan to continue these exercises into my nineties❤️😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You;rw welcome and thank yo for your comment today xxx ❤️🤗

[@sharonkeaton281]

I had the same issue with a stiff neck during this workout. Thank you for addressing it. Please let me know when you do a video about it.

[@lindaleeming3978]

I did this session after live broadcast as I'd had a late night on Thursday. I really enjoy the longer intermediate sessions as you have more time to explain the moves and remind us how to breathe throughout. I also prefer the mix of standing and mat workouts. I managed all the moves but did find the scissors challenging - will do this one again as I like to push myself. Thanks for all your amazing workouts.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Great job! And thank you for the feedback, so glad you enjoyed the class xx

[@ritalafleur4417]

This was HOLY COW intense. I'm trying and healing as well as I'm drenched! Hope you got my message from yesterday also. I couldn't do the back bend, my body won't cooperate from all the swelling and weight gain. I found out last week, because I've reached the point of no more patience, that the sweetener I was telling you about was deemed illegal for consumption and I finally found people speaking up on their health issues. Thank you for all your heard work and for creating this family, also I hope you do more barre inspired workouts and resend what you recommended. Sending much love and hugs!

I put a small pillow under my lower back and was finally able to do the roll up/roll down! I didn’t think I’d ever be able to do it. That was a really great but tough workout. Thanks Rachel ❤️ Love, Faye from PEI

[@marycampbell3852]

Thanks! Sunday morning bright sunshine. I enjoyed this session. It was focused and i was able to do the majority of the exercises at the intermediate level except the one resting on the elbows leg out straight. I did this with my legs tabletop. However, I was able to circle my legs straight. I am down to doing pilates once a week, my aim is to do at least 3 times a week. I have just become too lazy, it could be my age now I am 65. thank you once again mary x say Hi to your darling husband and Boo

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Love working out with you! old time weight girl. what is the siccors about? just stretching? You are a Rock Star!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you so much. The scissors is a full body integration exercise meaning you are using multiple muscle groups with this one. It increases core strength and spinal stability whilst deepening the flexibility of both the hip flexors and hip extensors. A challenging move! xx

[@maryboffa3579]

Is this also effective for weight loss? Thank you😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Yes, it is. All weight bearing and resistance exercises will help but I would add you must address your nutrition too to see the biggest changes. Keep going xx
