Pilates Challenge Day 23 Reformer on the Mat Full Body Workout

[@naomibailey6886]

Struggled to get going today, woke up to the news that someone I know, passed away unexpectedly yesterday, he was just 56 ! Same age as me …. I soon realised that the reason I started this challenge, started running again (not great distances) and started tracking my food and drink, was to get strong, get fitter, get healthier and live life to the full - no one knows what is around the corner. Thank you Rachel for these workouts, they really mean a lot 😘

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow I am so sorry to hear that. And yes that is a great way to think about it.. it’s so much more than weight loss the older we get isn’t it? Thank u for sharing with me and I hope u are doing ok

[@naomibailey6886]

@@rachelsfitpilates thank you, and I hope you don’t mind me commenting each day, I’m kinda using you as my fitness buddy 😀 I do appreciate your responses each day.

[@montserrattoledano3978]

I love coming back everyday. Thank you, Rachel❤ I loved the reformer on the mat! Congrats to everybody putting in the effort!! Hope you all have a great day.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You are so welcome!

[@webstermm4916]

Thank you Rachel! May God bless you for sharing! I am sure I am not the only one who can’t believe how motivating you are!

[@lisap6148]

WOW! Can't believe I'm really sticking with it. Yay me!😊 Nice workout. Some tough moves but I made it through. See you tomorrow. Day 23 done!

[@m4r1t3]

I need a full Reformer on the Mat 28 day challenge ASAP! those were my fav out of all the 28 days , thank you Rachel!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s so awesome! I’ll be putting out a 28 day Pilates x strength challenge next month and it’ll be similar to these type of videos!

[@Tajfitjourney24]

Day 23 already? It never feels like a chore. Perfect short and effective workouts that fit my lifestyle:)

[@rachelsfitpilates]

amazing!

[@fanimotesnitsa8467]

23 Day done! Thank you Rachel! ❤❤❤❤

[@lauralancaster8330]

Sweating like crazy on day 23❤

[@desteneemartinez]

What a day!!!! My daughter had three doc appts and I’m exhausted. It’s past 11pm and I usually began my workouts around 9pm after I put my 8month old twins to bed. And to be honest I had to force myself to get this workout done. But I’m glad I did! It was another great workout. Day 23 completed. I didn’t get around to my straight 30mins cardio. But I’m pretty sure I got in alot of cardio in from traveling to one doc office to the other 😂. Thanks Rachel for the great workouts 💪🏽💜. I’m loving my results 🙂

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow good for u! I’m such a morning person so I got to bed when u workout 🤣 great job for showing up!

[@Heather-p3c]

Day 23! Today was hard but still a great workout

[@neni05]

Day 23 done! I didn’t want to do today as I have a headache and just tired but I’m glad I did! I haven’t missed one day so far! Rested on rest days and only once had to switch days. I’m totally proud of myself! This one was hard but I pushed through! Thank you so much!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

great job!!!

[@a_catholic_artist]

28 days! thank you Rachel!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay!! Congrats!!

[@beanolil]

Day 23! Can’t wait to finish this and start a harder challenge! As someone who is only 15 and legally blind, this is great for me, as there aren’t many safe workout opportunities around me!❤

[@zsuzsmo82]

Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you had a great celebration with your family! 🥳🥳🥳 Just wanted to share that now when I am stretching and rolling down I can touch the floor without bending my knees 😂 It was about 10 cm far a year ago You are an amazing teacher and inspiration Thank you for all your hard work

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank u!! Love to hear that! Thanks for the bday wishes 😀

[@montserrattoledano3978]

I felt great during the whole thing! It was so fun to have all the different movements. Definitely an enjoyable challenge. Thank you, Rachel ❤

[@kayl3275]

Second week of August challenge. Really enjoying. Thanks. X

[@AshleyAshley-f5q]

Day 23 done 😊 I definitely felt those fancy squats! I'm really shocked at how well my balance has gotten in just the past 23 days. When you said to try the last 3 without touching the wall, I had no idea that I would actually be able to pull it off 😊 Thank you again for these great videos!!!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow that is lovely! So happy to hear that. shows the work you have been putting in and your body is responding!

[@louisecumberbirch2141]

Round 2, Day 23 done🥴😂👏🏽 this is usually a Tuesday workout, but my body has been so fatigued this week, I have been avoiding this one like the plague! The second I started to move, a smile came on face❤ I will always jumble a week, but I WILL ALWAYS get it done🎉🎉🎉

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yess! I love it you’re doing great!

[@AnastasiaKeczan-ni3zp]

Day 23 done! 🎉 I was in suck a bad mood today and didn't feel like doping anything but did the workout and feel so much bitter now, thank you ❤️

[@rachelsfitpilates]

So glad!

[@puddlejumper73]

Oh my. Nice workout. Struggled with the raised leg bridge. 😊 I made it though 🎉

[@karenwolsey1698]

I was a bit worried doing these particular moves. I know my form in my lower back was too arched due to my muscles not yet being strong enough - but I kept tying! Go all of us!!!

[@PandoraEast]

that was fantastic! never done anything like this. Day 23 and still feels amazing. I was having shoulder pain and doing this workout it went away

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow great!

[@CharlineArcher]

Day 23 completed! My knees were creaking through the first part of the workout but not as bad as before. This daily exercise works!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great!

[@mommap9985]

Day 23 done. I can't believe the difference I have noticed in just 28days. Thank you

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s awesome!!

[@monicamendes3851]

Thank you for the exercises. I started to wake up earlier and do them before work 💪🏻. Love the progress.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s awesome good for u! Perfect way to start the day!!

[@silviaavvertenza8290]

Thank you, Rachel! I am truly enjoying your 28-day challenges. I am recovering from low back issues, and these workouts are making me feel stronger and move better. Due to my lower back issues, I am really struggling with dropping one leg at a time when in bridge position and one leg in TBT as I dont want to risk it! Can you suggest a modification? Thank you ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I would try with feet in the ground for the one!

[@silviaavvertenza8290]

Thank you! ❤

[@Tajfitjourney24]

Day 23. Feeling so much stronger at this point in the challenge. Added weights for the arm portion. Excellent start to the day!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s great!! So happy u are noticing a change!

day 23 done! 🎉

[@francesmelendez1303]

Day 23 my body is progressing. No weight loss, but I can see my stomach slim as clothes feel loose.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great! It’s totally possible to shrink even with no weight loss especially if you’re resistance training like this.. it’s a good thing🙂

[@user-js3fd9hh5v]

Day 23 ✅, the first part with squats felt awkward for me because I sprained my foot last year and it didn’t heal properly. I don’t have the same range of motion and I can’t bend that foot/leg the same way. It’s super frustrating but this has nothing to do with how awesome you are.. just not sure how effective I was during that time considering the injury.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You showed up and hopefully it helped give u an opportunity to move in some new range u haven’t done in a while. Great job!

[@beanolil]

Rachel, Do you have any recommendations for challenges to lose weight, that is safe for the visually impaired? My mental health took a turn when I became blind, I gained a lot of weight. Hoping for ideas, a challenge like this to lose weight ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

In terms of exercise challenge and weight loss. You do need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight so it required changing some habits with diet. I can’t give diet advice but it could be something to speak to your doctor or dietitian about
