Standing Pilates for Seniors with the Resistance Band | 30 Min Senior Pilates

[@chanlaijing90]

Thank you, Rachel. I am a 63-year old senior from Singapore who loves following and doing your specially designed exercises. Thank you for your dedication to produce excellent quality videos encouraging seniors to move.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

At 82 and 3 weeks away from a back injury, I was able to do this without pain. You are such a fabulous instructor!!

[@fayewhite7541]

I got my band over the summer but today was the first time using it. I loved it! I find the band helps me with my balance. Feeling great. Thank you Rachel. Love, Faye from PEI

Lovely light evening session although , I broke into a sweat👏💕Love from Dusseldorf Rachel

[@CharleneRose-x5z]

I love using the resistance bands for osteo workout. Please do more of these. They help me so much. 😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Will do! Xx

[@LynneShuell]

Thank you so much for all your videos, they are helping me enormously. I was getting so stiff, finding stairs difficult and every day tasks challenging. I have been doing your sessions daily for the last six weeks or so and the benefits are truly transformational. Just done the hand exercises which I am sure will be hugely beneficial for my incipient arthritis in my fingers and may even keep it at bay. I am sure many people would find your exercises helpful. I am 68 and was thinking i was on the downward slope, but these exercise have enabled me to find again the sheer pleasure of being able to move easily. Thank you again, PS - Your dog is very cute!

[@tirzahkengoo7151]

Great workout. Thanks Rachel ❤.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're so welcome! ❤️

[@spinelessskillz7720]

Thank you SO much for all of the effort you put into sharing these workouts with all of us. I found pilates in my early twenties and absolutely loved it. 12 years ago I had a neck injury and surgery that left me with permanent spinal cord damage and a nice long list of neurological and muscular problems, all tied up with a big bright bow of chronic pain and fatigue. I have been absolutely ecstatic to find your channel. With your senior workouts I can actually do pilates again, as all of the moves are safe for me to do, or easy for me to modify. Your explanations of body positioning etc are always extremely helpful. And your encouraging yet calm personality helps me get through the movements, and not feel defeated if I am having a day where I can't quite get there. Thank you SO SO much. Much love !!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

What a beautiful message. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I’m so glad you’re able to find the joy in moving with me despite the challenges you have. I’m so happy for you and just want to gently encourage you to keep going. You really are an inspiration 🤗❤️

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You’re welcome Julie, so glad you enjoyed it 🤗

[@suedepinto2016]

Lovely session, just a little wonky on my part deciding whether to double my light band or not - I think my band is a little shorter than yours! I agree, those elbows back exercises were tougher - not hard or painful, just awkward. Thanks for your explanation in the chat, always helpful! So glad your break was lovely, you both looked so elegant on Kofi! Loved your dress, stunning!🎉😊❤

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you so much Sue, really glad you enjoyed those session. Tricky but effective! 🥂🍾❤️ Glad you enjoyed my ko-fi post and behind the scenes insight into my life beyond the mat! Xxx

Rachel, love this. Always love your stretch band workouts. Just bought the pilates ring. Will you be doing a ring workout for beginners in the future? Feel more strength in my body! Thanks for all that you do! 😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Great idea!! I absolutely will film a Pilates Ring for Beginners, thanks for the suggestion. And so glad you enjoyed this workout xx Have you tried my 15 minute Ring Workout yet, it's an older one and a great session: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qavOqGV3eq2UbpY 🤗

sorry I missed it...but im here now!!!!

[@melanieharris9538]

Hi there! I love your workouts. You are an excellent instructor and even through youtube, you help me to use muscles I never knew existed. Feels great. I have a confession to make. Since the weekly playlists stopped, I am finding it really hard to keep a good routine with workouts. I feel like I am always searching for what to do instead of just getting on with the next one. Do you have any tips? Thanks so much. I really appreciate you!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're so welcome! And thank you for yo rlovely message. Don't worry about keeping up with a routine. i plan to bring back the weekly playlist once the spring once has ended in 2 weeks time. So keep an eye out for that. In the meantime why not do this one from last year: kzbin.info/aero/PLiAecv7YEF5iwptv7fOAtGJ0i_feQMFo8 ❤️❤️❤️

[@melanieharris9538]

I'll do that! Thank you Rachel. I look forward to getting back into a good routine! Take care of yourself and thank you for taking care of so many others 💕

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

And you ❤ Take care, best wishes 🤗

[@VirginiaFineberg]

Thank you for a wonderful and useful session. One suggestion (since I got a resistance band specially for this 🙃, why not included a few minutes of exercises with the resistance band in other routines? What would be so good. Overall, you can't imagine how much better I feel now that I do your sessions regularly.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Great suggestion! Thank you Virginia. So glad you're enjoying all my workouts xxx
