I love this but the calendar is not going to my email, even after repeated attempts. Any suggestions? It has not gone to spam. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I will be starting the 28 day challenge today. I've been looking for something just like this. Appreciated!

Hi, I just started yesterday. I did this workout. When I came to look for day two I couldn’t find it, so I did this one again 😕 Van you help me find day 2-28 for “beginners and for weight loss”? Thank you!

Finally a workout challenge for beginner that is actually beginner friendly and easy to follow 😢❤

[@RochelleT-5]

When i fist tried day 1 i couldnt do all the exercises for the full time and i was feeling both frustrated and determined. I decided id just stay on day 1 until i could complete it. I did so for a few days and it was becoming easier. Then you offered your 7 day challenge and i switched to that. Today i started the 28 day again- and i was able to do almost every exercise for the full count! What an incredible feeling!!! Its still a challenge - Im 54 and have had a couple of stressful years with lots of trauma and no self care. Im taking the time to take care of myself and your program is part of that. I loved the reminders for the 7 day challenge, idk if you have those on the 28 day, so if someone is looking for an accountability partner id be interested ! So grateful i found your youtube channel! Thank you for offering these classes.

[@mishmash2157]

Ok im old 55 and heavy (depression anxiety etc) finally getting help from being abused my entire life I want to be strong because due to my age and weight I can no longer get on my horse unassisted...my goal is to be able to ride him get on him without harm to him and me....losing weight is a bonus...ill keep u updated starting tomorrow!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

that is a great goal! I really hope you find this challenge supportive of your journey to healing :) thank u for your comment!

[@maddymartin4097]

Hi!! I just saw your comment and it really touched my heart as I have been depression and anxiety and have also been abused. I’m also going to start doing these exercises to get stronger too!! I’m so sorry for everything you’ve had to endure my love. Good luck on your healing journey💜 sending all my love and healing to you 💜💜💜

[@mishmash2157]

@maddymartin4097 thank you! I am doing it! It's humbling and some days very hard but I am on day 21! And can't wait to try it again withal better attitude and more strength 💪...still have my ups and downs but I have come a long way mentally in 21 days! I'm here too if u ever need to reach out 😁

55 is not old stop calling old on yourself.

WE can DO this🩷🙌

[@txrn79]

After months of not going to the gym and gaining weight, I decided to try this and hopefully see some change. Losing weight is harder now that I'm not in my 20 or even 30s. This workout felt very doable and these were moves that even I could do without feeling breathless.

[@penultimania4295]

Recent studies have shown that your ability to lose weight only starts going down in your 60s really. So no more excuses.

[@samanthanoland6882]

I just completed day one! I am ready to take my life back and be there for my family fully. I cried a little when i couldnt lift my pelvis up with one leg in the air. However, i cried even harder after the workout because even though it was hard for me, I did it. I did it to the best of my ability. As long as I keep showing up that is what matters! It can only strengthen me 🤍 Looking forward to the next 27 days! I might pair this with a short walk as well.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You did a great job! Just do what you can it’s totally OK to modify or take breaks if needed and yes walking would be wonderful with this plan

[@ginathomas9614]

My thoughts exactly

[@julieniemann3410]

Each day will get easier and better for you. Like you said, you showed up and that’s great. Keep up the great work. 🫶🏻

[@gpanderson6386]

Hi Rachel! I searched for a Pilates channel today and was drawn to your 28 day beginner challenge. I am 68 years old and have arthritis and have not been able to walk on my treadmill for a few months so I started gaining weight….especially in my mid section!! I recently started a cardio sculpt class but knew I needed more. I’m changing my diet and praying that Pilates will help with my stomach. Thank you for making your channel accessible at no cost!

[@ChristinaBarroso]

I recently finished this challenge, and it's been a godsend! I was diagnosed with chronic migraine 4 years ago, and the cause was misdiagnosed. I went through years of drug cocktails that never worked and countless rounds of steroids. My health, fitness, and confidence was taken from me. The cause was found, and I'm virtually migraine free. I have started to take my health and life back and try to shed the 80lbs I gained over the past four years from the drugs and being bedridden. Doing these exercises are challenging, yet gentle on this old, heavy, broken body and I'm grateful that I've found these. Thank you so very much!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow that’s incredible! Good for u and I’m so glad this has helping u so much. Thank u for sharing 💕

Been contemplating about starting exercising again after birth of second child and now after 1 year postpartum, im ready to be fit and get my strength back again.

[@enjoywithmann4546]

How's going on?

[@TJ-st2fp]

It’s really a matter of preference. HIIT is typically a mix of very high energy interval training with resistance and weight training resulting very high calorie burns per session. It’s high impact so there is typically a longer recovery time. Pilates is low impact, definitely less stress on the body compared to HIIT, and while it will certainly burn calories, it’s nowhere near as high as HIIT. Both will give you results though. It’s just a matter of what type of program you’d like to commit to at this time and what your personal goals are. You could also incorporate both programs into your routine. It’s all a matter of how you’d like to approach your journey.

[@davenawilson9231]

🎉 DAY 1 DOWN I PRAY I MAKE IT TO DAY 28 CONSISTENCY IS MY BIGGEST ISSUE. I MUST SAY THIS WAS AWSOME.

So hey everyone Just an update, as I stated consistency was my problem and as any other human I have an excuse which is work 😢. Anyways I have started again and the only way I can sustai until it becomes a habit is to drink pain killer, because the pain keeps me from going again after about a week.

[@niran1623]

since the beginning of the pandemic I haven't worked out, I used to play volleyball 4-5 times a week. I have gained close to 30 kg in this period, I decided to start my health and fitness journey and ease my way back into that lifestyle. This was my first work out. Thank you for this, even with the weight of my new body, and my current fitness level, I was able to do this work out. It was not easy, it was challenging of course but not so hard that I couldn't do any of it that I quit. Thank you so much.

That’s great. I’m so glad you are here and I hope you enjoy the challenge. Just do your best ☺️☺️It’s OK to stop early or rest longer when needed!

I am so happy I found this 28 day Pilates challenge for beginners. I’m new to Pilates and realized I needed something low impact. I’m 6 months post partum with my 3rd baby and this was also my 3rd c-section. I started this challenge on Oct 1st and I’m here to say that even if you miss a day or a few, it’s okay. Keep going! I’m on Day 11 so I’m behind a bit😩 but I’m determined to complete this challenge and possibly start it again Nov 1st. My body is getting stronger and diastasis recti is going down significantly!

[@claudinehubert6909]

I did a different Day 1 challenge of yours before I found the 2024 version - I'll continue tomorrow with the new version. I also printed the calendar. My goal is geared towards toning, but more importantly towards finding myself inside my body after a period of intense stress. I am combining this workout with a daily short ministepper routine, and I will continue going to the pilates gym once or twice a week with my partner as our special couples activity. Thank you for helping me find accountability

[@hizkitten36]

I have never used exercise as a way to achieve overall wellness, but my body is telling me it needs it. My flexibility is a joke and I feel older than I need too. I feel like this is something that I can commit to as a personal challenge, whereas Ive always given up with high impact as a beginner though thin, i wasnt fit or flexible enough to follow though. I am average weight , 120 , 52 year old female. Active with work , but changed careers 4 months ago and am not getting the cardio I did for 25 + years .. I am also naturally lazy so finding something that keeps my interest is a blessing... I am so looking forward to challenging myself to take the action needed to get where I really want. Here's to 2024. My goal is to gain superior flexibility and drive to ultimately combined this with strength training to transform my overall wellness. I can see its vital for my body and mind to feel good agaiñ. Thank you for this opportunity.

[@earlabrams2383]

Thanks for this 28-day challenge. I have never done pilates, but I'm finding that hard cardio is very difficult on my joints. I just finished the first day and clicked the 10-minute walking link and the cool-down, too. It was great! I'm excited about the following days. Take care.

[@SigalZoldan]

Nice! Pilates is awesome!! I did not find an accountability buddy. I stopped on day 4. Would you like to be buddies in case you don’t have any? I’m in pacific time zone.

[@kaitlynivancic7521]

Today is my day 1! I’m 9 weeks postpartum and I’ve had 3 babies in 3.5 years. This is the kickstart I need - and something easy I can do at home. Thanks!looking forward to sticking with it and creating a routine 🎉

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful! So glad to hear that

[@jeanniecropsey1507]

Hi, just watched the starting videos. Started this 28 day challenge today! 😊 52 and ready to regain my life!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great!

[@explora924]

I do pilates as a toning practice but my main forms of working out are yoga (daily) and cardio (treadmill, bike, walking 3-4x a week). So nice to find pilates workouts on the more gentle side such as this one.

[@stefanihearts_]

I've been struggling for months to get back to working out and this was honestly a great way to ease back in. Thank you ❤

[@Equestrian_Lover601]

Commenting on every day to make sure i dont quit like i always do! My goal is to strengthen my entire body to be a better rider 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

great goal!!

[@Winnieandfriendsxox]

Hi Rachel I’m new to your channel today. I’ve never done Pilates before. I’ve done day 1 on the beginners 28 day challenge today and looking forward to tomorrows exercise. Thanks for the workout ❤

[@alexandraknowles1356]

Having accidentally stayed on day 3 yesterday, I’ve just done Day 1 , and I loved it. I can’t believe 17 minutes went so fast.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

that's great! so glad u loved it

[@brendaparasimo8066]

Happy birthday Rachel! And thank you so much for the gift you have given me, you’re an inspiration, truly. Your workouts are effective and you are so relatable, as a beginner it was so easy to learn from you. I highly recommend you to everyone and adore you! Thank you again and I wish you the best year ahead!🖤🖤🖤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw thank you so much!! so kind of you! thanks for the birthday wishes :)

[@jennifervalentine7807]

I’m so excited! I am 11 weeks post back surgery and I have been watching these videos during my recovery time, waiting to be cleared by my dr, and until I felt comfortable enough to do bridges. Tonight I was able to make it through this entire session with zero pain. Huge thanks for this easy to follow workout. I will follow it to build strength and then move on to more challenging ones. 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

wow that is so awesome!! im so happy to hear that. Back surgery is tough, I used to work as an occupational therapist in the hospital helping patients after back surgeries. that's incredible you're already active like this at 11 weeks, good for u! I hope you continue to find my workouts helpful :)

[@jamiewoods1886]

31 yrs old mama, coming from the 7 day challenge. 1 of 28 day challenge=COMPLETE!❤ P.S legs and abs feel the burn!

[@emilyfullbuster582]

This is day one for me!! I'm trying to finally commit to working out, thank you for making this so easy to follow! When it ended I was genuinely surprised at how long I'd worked out already! You're amazing!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! So glad to hear that

[@holloreka1]

It was amazing! After birth…1,5 year passed…I didn’t have time and power to do anything. It was perfect❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Amazing!

[@arkkhanna8806]

I am Niharika, age 28, female…Day 1, done right!!! I am going back and forth between 65.5 and 66.5 kgs… let’s see how far I am going to continue!!! Let’s hope for the best!!! I have my engagement in mid November 2024. Before that, I really want to get into shape.

[@rebeccaholmes9029]

Good luck, you can do this

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You’ve got this!! I hope you enjoy it 😊

[@sonyalaster7533]

I’m only a few minutes into the video and I can tell I desperately need to stick with this for the full 28 days. My entire body is so tight and thighs are cramping. I got to get my body back in shape again.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

you've got this!! totally ok to pause and rest more if you need to :)

I'm starting your 28 day challenge today 💪🏼🎉 i believe in the many benefits of Pilates, I've experienced them already in the past, but went totally off track with 3 little kids biting my toes and rolling around 😅😂 now that they are all at day care, I'm motivated to give myself a little bit of extra care and love 💕 hope to keep coming to your channel for long!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I hope so too!! Totally get it with the kids haha u got this!

[@SarahWayman-i2k]

I love this. I keep watching "beginner" pirates videos and NONE of them are begginer friendly. Definitely going to be back to do more of your workouts.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank u! Yes even for me I have tried to make my “beginner” workouts better and truly beginner. I’m glad this was for u!

[@Crystal달]

I did it. I struggled yes, i was mad yes, but i kept pushing and im so glad i did. One day stronger 💪🏽 so proud of myself lets goooooooooo

[@ashlynhayes8360]

Thank you so much for making this video truly suitable for beginners. I used to be an avid gym goer and haven't been in months and have been scared to start again. This was short and sweet and felt really good.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

im glad you enjoyed it!

[@alissat6782]

Just like to watch, so relaxing. One day I’ll be a Pilates queen, for now a fan of Rachel fit pilates while I go to sleep. You go girl. Sweet dreams and thank you

[@allisonpouria9948]

Just started Day 1 today - INCREDIBLE! I have been in a workout slump for almost two years and this is a perfect way to easy my body into feeling good again, great for beginners started movement again!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great job! I’m so glad u liked it

[@fabulousoneinamillion7063]

I really loved day 1! I tried HIT training for a month and a half, and my knees couldn't take the torture. I definitely need to strengthen my core & tone. Thanks for posting these videos. They are definitely going to help with my journey. By the way, Day 1 was perfect. The stretching felt so good.😍

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s so great! Glad u liked it and hope u find this challenge more gentle 😊

[@danicashardae3787]

Day 1 complete! I’m going to try to comment everyday I make it through a new one. This workout was just challenging enough for me to feel the burn, but not so hard I ended up feeling lost, behind, and discouraged. I’m super excited for the rest of this month. ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You got this! There may be some harder ones but just done what u can and move on to the next day 😊

[@chenulikulatunga1155]

Just finished day 01. Getting back to pilates and fitness after 6 months so this was a wonderful beginning!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

So glad to hear!!

[@iiiKomi_Korneriii]

Day one complete: thank you for this lovely challenge, I'm not good at keeping up with a monthly challenge so I'm really going to try with this one. Can't wait for tomorrow !

[@ShelleyOtter]

Thank you for this 28 day course. I’m starting tomorrow. My reasons are many. I want to tone muscles and gain strength because of weight gain and sedentary life for two years has left me with pain in my legs and arms. I want to lose weight too, but for me, muscle strengthening is more important at the moment. Wish me luck!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Good luck! You got this!

[@user-js3fd9hh5v]

Day 1, that was amazing. I’m not really motivated to exercise with the exception of taking daily walks. This feels perfect for me! Thank you!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful!

[@anoushkasaha16]

It’s August and I just did my first workout of the year with you!!! And this was just so energising and I feel so strong and happy. Thanks❤ gonna be tuning in tomorrow again!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw that’s great! I’m so happy to hear that

[@angelicafavorito1653]

Started this challenge today. And man, did I just proved I've got a stiff body. Thanks for the video.

[@naylinasha4719]

the best pilates workout for beginner in youtube !!! loveee this workout routine 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! Thank you!

[@martya1089]

I think I finally found a routine where I feel very comfortable, the intro video was definitely helpful. I´ve been struggling with weigthloss and exercise since I was 11, and sticking to a workout routine has never been easy, mainly because I don´t have motivation, even less discipline, but I´m here for it, I can allow myself to do this cuz I´m in a college break and I need this peaceful vibe, so I hope the rest of the days are as well. I hope that this works for me, since going to the gym is very overwhelming for me and doing this at home doesn´t make me feel more insecure. Thank you

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I hope it's a good fit for u! you got this!

[@martya1089]

@@rachelsfitpilates yes! I'm in day 12 now and I love it... tysm

[@susancoleman4798]

7 days in!!! Thank you for making this fun and easy to stick with for a beginner!!

[@wendygripp7410]

Day 1 complete. I did a different video yesterday before I found this series which sounds like what I’ve been looking for!

[@alyssaanguiano5821]

Finally starting this new challenge after a few busy weeks. Excited to work my way through!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful!

[@pavimalairaj]

I have always been curious about wall pilates and as a beginner was unsure if it would be a right fit. To my surprise this just felt amazing and I am going to try this for other 27 days❤ Thanks a lot Rachel

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great!

[@belleiccm9801]

Thank you Rachel for this encouraging video! I plan to begin on September first. I watched this video first and will prep myself up a bit in the coming days and hopefully start on the first of Sept

[@rachelsfitpilates]

yay! excited for u to start
