Nell, thank you so much for these videos! I suffer from endometriosis and adenomyosis and just got a reformer to continue movement with low impact since I can no longer do intense HIIT workouts. Your videos have done so much good for me physically but most importantly mentally and emotionally. Thank you so so much, I appreciate you.

[@NellHoess]

Thanks so much for your comment Kelly. I am so moved by your comment and that these videos have helped you in such a way. I feel your pain! I suffer from an autoimmune disease and it’s a nightmare. We need to keep exercising but not all exercise is good for our bodies. Endometriosis is so painful. I’m so happy to hear you have found a workout that is good for you. Keep up the good work. Nx

Ahhh yes I just brought a reformer and finally found good KZbin videos on reformer workouts, thank you 🤗

[@NellHoess]

You are welcome Jessica!

[@alexadoig1911]

Just got my own reformer! Nell has the best pilates videos on KZbin. I have been trying others, but keep going back. She takes you through a great workout with a variety of different exercises in each one. I have a bum ankle and knees, but it's easy to modify the routines. Her voice is the perfect combination of motivating and soothing. Thank you Nell!

[@Greenev205]

Loved this one too! My Pilates reformer I use has the red, green, yellow, and blue springs. Do you know what those would be compared to your reformer with numbers?

[@NellHoess]

Your heaviest spring is equivalent to 1 full spring in my workouts. Your medium spring is the equivalent of 1/2 spring in my workouts. Your lightest spring is equivalent to my 1/4 spring tension. I hope that helps.

[@lolasunmonu5674]

Nell, thanks for the video. I’m in US, and the reformer springs are color coded, red being the lightest through blue and green. Can you give the equivalent of these?

[@NellHoess]

In my vids 1spring = heavy. 1/2spring = medium 1/4 spring = light Spring colours vary depending on the brand. Hope that helps

I love your videos. My only suggestion is sometimes you don’t tell me what spring to use. I’m figuring it out for myself but it would be helpful! Thank you for providing this content!

[@NellHoess]

Thanks Linda. Apologies about that. I’m learning on the go how to create content and apologise for sometimes missing the springs. I appreciate your constructive feedback.

Can you provide which springs to use for the first part?

[@NellHoess]

NISHA PATEL thanks for pointing that out! For Plies...the leg work in the first part...I had 2 strong springs on.

[@46I37]

Would be nice to explain your spring terminology. You 30min workout has full, half, quarter. This one has 2 and a half, 1.5, and myPilates Master has 1red, 2yellow, 2green and the spring bar can be moved to 3 positions. (Btw, love your classes)

[@NellHoess]

I’m thrilled you love the classes! 1sp=heavy. 1/2=medium. 1/4=light. I don’t use colours because they vary depending on brand. Pull on your springs to feel for the strongest. That = 1sp in my videos. Then pull in the springs to feel the spring that’s a bit lighter then the strong one. That = 1/2sp. Then the lightest = 1/4. I hope that helps.

[@46I37]

@@NellHoess Thanks Nell. Just to confirm. Our machine has from strongest to lightest 1 Red, 2 Yellow, 2 Green. Thus the all 5 would be 1 + 2x0.5 + 2*0.25 = 2.5 and the lightest is 0.5. Thanks again.
