Thank you, I have just started Pilates again after 16 years and 20kgs later. Loving your sessions.

[@NellHoess]

Welcome back! Keep up the good work 🙌💪🤸‍♀

I wish I'd found your videos in lockdown last year! (Victorian). Have just done this and your calm style is the *only* way reformer should be taught (but rarely is). Thanks for helping me get my reformer mojo back!

[@NellHoess]

Better late than never they say! Love your comment Belinda, thankyou. My style isn’t for everyone but I believe that we can workout but in a calm (nervous system) way. I’m happy you appreciate that. Keep up the good work.

Hello Nell i LOVE this workout! I got my reformer last January and has been an about game changer for me in my forties.. I discovered this video about 4 month into my journey and i do it regularly because I just love it, please can you recommend another workout for me pls? However one without any equipment as I don't have as yet👍🏼💖

[@user-qh7yu3lv1e]

Great workouts, feel confident I am exercising correctly . Thank goodness for an instructor who explains the springs correctly THANK YOU

[@NellHoess]

[@valerieroman8290]

Thank you for your video. I am 67 years old with a really bad back. I purchased a balaced body reformer. I feel like I have a reformer with no knowledge how to use. I am trying so hard to take advange of the reformer. Your video gave me some hope. Can you suggest any tips

[@NellHoess]

Hello Valerie. I would recommend you get a pilates teacher into your home to take you through some exercises and for you to learn to use the equipment. On my website I have 14 workouts for Level 1 & 2 that you also may find beneficial www.nellh.tv But I would strongly recommend getting a qualified teacher to your home.

[@yllek82]

Thank you for this video! Just got my home reformer repaired after 8 months off. This workout was just what I needed. I could cry happy tears!

This made me laugh! It’s my pleasure and I’m thrilled it hit the spot for you. How good does it feel getting back into Pilates 💪🏼

Thanks DH CH. my pleasure.

[@racheldphelps]

Than you Nell. I wish there were options or modifications for the Tendon Stretch.

[@NellHoess]

My pleasure Rachel. You can sit back a bit further on the carriage and widen your feet apart. Try that and let me know how you go.

[@randichepke5624]

Can you explain what it means by one and half springs? One I have has from left to right: red, yellow, red, blue, red.

[@NellHoess]

1 spring = strong 1/2 spring = medium 1/4 spring = light Therefore 1 and a half springs = 1 strong and 1 medium. Hope that helps

[@cheesiepeas1]

Love your reformer workouts, Nell! Do you ever use a jump board? I would love to see some of those! 😍

[@NellHoess]

Thanks for your comment! I will put your suggestion on my ‘to-do’ list 💪🏼

[@zunicheong-torres6415]

Great class! Thank you. One question is I feel tightness, almost pain, on my right groan whenever I try to lift a ball in between ankles? Am I suppose to stop doing it or keep doing it? It is odd that I feel it only one side. It will be great if you could explain some causes.

[@NellHoess]

Thank you. Its hard for me to give you feedback when I haven't seen you moving on the machine to assess your alignment and recruitment patterns. Feet in Straps work targets the inside thigh muscles and can reveal muscle imbalances. It may be that the muscle you are feeling is wek and therefore working hard in this exercise you are referring to. Listen to your body and try and feel if it feels like a weakness. If its too painful then defiantly get rid of the ball until you are stronger.

[@siarasingleton1631]

What does 2sp mean?

[@NellHoess]

2 springs (so 2 strong springs) 1sp = 1 strong spring. 1/2 sp = a medium spring (half a strong one) and 1/4sp = the lightest spring. I hope that helps.

[@siarasingleton1631]

Poor instructions for changing springs

[@NellHoess]

Thanks for the feedback Amber. I’m clearly not a video editor 😂 but I’m trying my best. I put titles with the springs on it and I do say the springs but will try and make clearer in future.
