Standing Pilates for Seniors | Balance, Coordination, Strength and Stability Exercises | 30 Mins

[@VirginiaFineberg]

As always, your classes are wonderful, Rachel. Since I couldn't do the live, I would love a senior standing pilates class once a month at least.

[@beverlynelson6431]

Though I work on balance and coordination every day, progress is very slow.....but over time there is noticeable improvement. I'm not afraid of falling. If you saw me in ordinary life activities, you would not know that I have any balance problems at all. You have been a valued motivator!

[@ida1751]

@beverlynelson ... I feel you... been on the same boat at 61 yo. .Noticed the loss of balance more and more...specially when moving around in a hurry. Actually, I am doing BOTH standing pilates AND yoga for SENIORS only... I find the senior pilates energizes me without straining... and the senior yoga relaxes and stretches me gently but mot effectively like nothing else can. And I only do standing for both... to keep things even simpler...

[@suehill2918]

Thanks very much Rachael. As my Pilates teacher has retired it's wonderful that I can do your sessions.

[@mariongroves2588]

So very grateful to tune you in after too log sitting-- such pleasure to move and to be leld by your wonderful channel. thank you

[@gerimodell1266]

Wonderful! Love how your workouts are both gentle and challenging -- a masterful combo!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

That's lovely feedback Geri - thank you! ❤️

[@Joysund]

Excellent- I love this workout! I am 89 and trying to stay mobile and improve my posture so my back won’t bother me. Thank you

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Wonderful Joyce - keep up the good work! ❤️

[@valerieross2075]

I work with you 3 / 4 times a week. I choose different classes but try to aim for seniors and also balance In 85. Just love my time with you. A million thankyou rachel

[@susansatchwell8482]

This was good to get shoulders working again after cardiac surgery, had shoulder restrictions for 8 weeks so you know my swimmers arms are shot. so this was pretty good entry back to exercise I have done lower extremity but note balance not as good so work out now as much as I can without hurting. So thanks

[@JanisWhite-d9c]

Thanks so much Rachael - yes. Love your workouts. I'm 81 and am really improving with your workouts.

[@janettekenos3674]

Hi Rachel. When you ask us to do more balletic moves and work our arms, it is very apparent why ballet dancer’s bodies are so muscular 😊 I enjoy more challenging classes, so one senior class a month would be my vote 👏💕

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

That's very true Janet! We are working on that! ❤️

[@rachelm5956]

Did this Tues am in the States. I would be happy if you did a senior workout at least once a month on a Monday. I greatly appreciate that you do 'senior' workouts, they are superb before a long day of being on my feet teaching! Keep up the marvelous work you do!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thanks Rachel - we will certainly try and do more! ❤️

[@denisekiddie5713]

So pleased to be back. I haven’t done any of you exercises for about a month! I went to London to celebrate my 70th birthday. We had a ball, such a fabulous time! Unfortunately I returned with Covid! I’ve been quite poorly & ended up with a chest infection & it affected my asthma badly. So after a course of antibiotics & steroids, I’m gradually improving. I decided it was time to start exercising again! I struggled a little, but it’s good to be back & loved this class, which I’ve done several times! Thank you Rachel X

[@gloriapianko7010]

Once a month. Still with you at 82. Just purchased your book. Sending $ you thru paypal. Love all you seniors classes.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

That's so kind of you Gloria - thankyou! ❤️

[@janesaunders5792]

Yet another great class thanks Rachel x

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're welcome Jane xx

[@joerockhead85059]

Once again, another winner. I just love how you incorporate your dance training into the classes. I envision all of us doing some of the moves at the same time so we look like Rachel's Dance Team! Thank you.

[@barbaradar1389]

Thank you so much🌸🌸🌸

[@bessiegal6747]

Just perfect for me. After a year of sciatica I am trying to get better. I lost my strength, balance and confidence. At 72 I am determined to keep well in old age. I do all your sessions and adapt them. I would LOVE a senior session any, anytime.😉😁😊. I love all your work. Thanks Rachel. Xxx🤗

[@katecarey201]

Thank you as always, Rachel. Love all your workouts and your calm delivery. 👍🙏

You are welcome Leila! ❤️

[@trinaknockton4011]

Thanks for that senior standing workout, a good start to each day when I do one of your usually shorter senior standing workouts. There haven’t been many recent short routines…please could we have some more? I appreciate you are covering a lot of varying abilities….thank you.

[@simangelemariemkhize5831]

This was an excellent standing sequence to bring me back after a long absence. Thank you for sharing Rachel.

[@lolalavigne879]

Wonderful workout yes to your Question once a month

[@irmileschneider8673]

After 3 weeks of balance work I am getting better. It doesnt look as good as yours, but I am happy. Painful knees is over. I hope for a long time. So thanks a lot for your endless exercises. I think, everybody interested will find 2 or 3 units to help against stiffness or even pain. I. from Stuttgart

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Great job! And thank you so much for your comments, really appreciate the positive feedback 🤗😊

[@nancycurley4227]

[@ritalafleur4417]

HI RACHEL!, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! This one was powerful, but delicate stretch and strength. your workouts are really starting to help me get back to where I was years ago. I'm following schedule you posted on IG for 11/15/2023. I'm not a senior, but loved it. I can't wait to see what you do for weights. Thank you so much!!❤❤♥♥♥♥

[@monikacordery11]

Perfect for my level. Thank you, Rachel ❤

[@kiwikathy]

As I push myself physically - yesterday walked 3 hrs then squashed in on long flight. Now In hotel room. So thank you Rachel your gentle routines are rewarding.xx 💫✨

[@TraceyCorbett-be7bz]

Having spent most the day sat at a desk doing my work on a computer this was such a lovely all body stretch. I feel like I have been lifted up through my spine!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Wonderful 🤗 I’m so glad to hear that 😊🙏

[@kriswares181]

This was a great class when I feel I want a little more gentle approach 😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

It's good to have some variety Kris! ❤️

[@spiritedbalance]

Thank you so much for all your work. I'm a senior (71) and broke my hip two years ago so I'm trying to regain my balance and strength. From Knoxville, Tennessee, USA.

[@susanbarrett1947]

Have done this routine on and off since it was released, but I have come back to it and attempt to do it daily. I have had increased mobility issues and I find this routine meets me where I’m at. It’s slow going but hoping and praying I will see improvement. Thanks again Rachel😊

[@genebender5028]

Thank you! FAVORITE workout yet!

[@terrygiovannucci8590]

Thank you so much! My body loves your senior workouts! Please keep them coming! I would be happy if you did a senior workout at least once a month on a Monday or any day - maybe once/week? .

Thanks again Rachel for a great standing workout. I really love the all standing routines and love the different intensity levels you offer, from gentle to more intense. Loved this workout. It's been a bit and really liked this one as it was gentle and really worked out the stiffness in my body. Would love a senior workout each month. :)
