Standing Pilates for Stretch, Balance and Coordination | Full Body Workout

Join me for a 20 Minute full body standing pilates workout. This routine will strenghten the abdominals, the core muscles through balance challenges and give you some beautiful stretches. We will exercise the whole body and raise the heart rate-all with the calm, attention to detail we use in Pilates. This routine has upper body work to strengthen the back, shoulders and arms, as well as functional standing exercises to build leg, hip and glute strength, increase joint mobility and balance, and increase core strength and control. It also has some real balance challenges to test your muscle strength! Enjoy! and don't forget if you find it challenging then that means you need to do more of these exercises so feel free to come back again and again to improve your strength. Consistency is key to building strength.

What a super balance and coordination challenge x

[@carrollsha]

Revisited this today as my balance needs attention. It was just what I needed. Thank you Rachel🎉

[@ashleyserrano4583]

This was literally amazing!

[@gerimodell1266]

Wow, I should do this every day! My balance is my weakest point!

[@LindaMarcotte]

Stabilized!! Thank you so much!! I love this routine!!

[@cherylfromvirginia6287]

Oh my goodness, Rachel. You are so creative! I am always so impressed at the variety and the creativity you give to each video🥰. That was a wonderful challenge. Thank you!👏👏. Oh…and thank you for leaving in your rare wobbles. Even though I know that you are talking and counting, and thinking ahead which makes balance work harder, it still makes me feel better!

[@marionwilk4847]

I just saw, I did this workout a year ago. I see and feel the change. Awesome. Thank you Rachel ❤

[@yehuditkeshet4909]

Thank you - your 20 minute sessions are just what I need - so enjoyable and so helpful! Best wishes

[@luckygirl2u]

I just wanted to comment on the standing 100. I’m gonna start doing it that way. Much easier on my neck and gives me more balance practice which I really need. So thank you for showing us something new thank you

[@luckygirl2u]

Very nice stretch & balance practice.

[@kevinlowes-is4pe]

Excellent! Thank you. Jacky

[@victoriagallipani5753]

Very challenging. I will do this one consistently. I had surgery, recovering all is fine and these exercises are great. Thanki you Rachel.

[@catherinepark7284]

Excellent routine.. 👌👌

[@elliekochny]

Yet another great video. Thanks, Rachel!

[@debbie7771]

Had a very busy morning and didn’t think I had time for exercise today but this was quick and felt amazing. I feel so energized now. 💕

[@ritalafleur4417]

I also completed this, because I had a headache was turning to a migraine. Thank for challenging, but relaxing workout.

[@DaisyinNYC]

Great balance challenge!💕

[@tracycrawford8999]

Great one for balance. I enjoyed it👍

[@carolelongman2091]

Thank you Rachel. I nearly balanced on one leg for the whole time. 👍🏻 x

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Great job carole! 👏👏👏

[@silviauriarte4418]

Thanks Rachel! Wonderful standing workout, I appreciate that you continue to upload videos with new type of exercises to continue to challenge ourselves!

[@margaretscott7472]

Really liked this. Did this first thing in the morning. My balance though needs some work! Definitely one to do again and again! Thanks Rachel.

[@marionwilk4847]

Again, I'm thankful that I found your Chanel. I love your Pilates. 🧡

[@MaryRudyful]

Love it!!!!

[@patriciaackley1406]

Added this to today's pilates. Thought it was a stretch one but more workout. Loved it. Have a good day!

[@yvonnethompson3999]

Super stretch & balance workout to start the day…great to keep the body joints/muscles lubricated and moving❣️

[@sottilezza]

Thank you for this practice! It is great for starting your day with a gentle stretch and movement.

[@jaynemurphy3287]

Lovely balance and stretch Rachel; Your work outs are always full of variety and I thank you for sharing with the world!!!! Favorite channel for Pilates💞🙏🎉

[@jenniferbonsor1665]

[@joannatrepte]

Nice Sunday morning stretch with an English accent, no awesomes! Thank you

[@reginatrani4976]

Another great workout! Thank you Rachel, from across the pond.

[@sjmazer9916]

Thank you so much for this great challenge! I love every one of your videos!!!

[@nildaduke611]

Thank you for the lesson.

[@wendykwasniuk656]

Loved it!

[@suedepinto2016]

Oh, no! I was gardening and joined too late - I’ll do this this afternoon, I love the standing videos, great for my balance issues. This one looks challenging, with all the one-leg work! Thanks for all you do!💪🏼💕

[@1111popz]

This is helping me get back into pilates and moving my body after a really tough start to the year, my local class is always booked up and going into a class of strangers gives me anxiety! SO this channel will be great for me!

[@kimpine8042]

another great workout, you have so many that can be fit it during the day, thanks for your excellence Rachel.

[@janethales2248]

I'm loving these 20 minute sessions & they're so easy to fit into even the busiest of days. I'm a runner with a knee injury, so I can't run at present. I've lost quite a lot of my former strength through layoffs but a 20-minute session each day gives me a great rehab workout. I'd appreciate any that focus on rebuilding leg strength without aggravating injury. Thank you Rachel.

[@francesbrien8427]

Loved this challenging routine, thanks Rachel

[@joanacorreia9777]

Loved it. Thank you, Rachel! 🙏

[@katecarey201]

Loved the balancing, thank you as always💕🙏

[@janetrhodes5926]

I did this lovely workout this morning and really enjoyed it. As with all Rachel's workouts I find them challenging, inspiring, fun and effective and they always leave me feeling energised and great. Thanks so much Rachel you are wonderful 👏 🥰❤

[@TinaR622]

Just did this one and really enjoyed the challenge....deceptively harder than it looks ! Thanks as always Rachel ❤️

[@kimmiller700]

Really enjoyed that Rachel. Loved the balance exercises. I can tell that I have improved not that I don't wobble or loose my balance it just isn't straight away!

[@MmeMargotB]

Perfect workout ! Thank you for taking the time to do those videos …. I am hooked and i love it.

[@martinedekerpel3523]

short workout I thought that I had never done it before nice reminder. I still love it. Thx 😃💜😻

[@heatherpeacock2225]

Love these. I cannot believe how much more balanced I am. Even on my bad ankle (bad bursitis after a partially torn achilles) which is so much better with these exercises! Thank you Rachael! I have turned some friends onto you as well!

[@robertfennell818]

Love your videos!! Have been doing a variety of all the standing ones over a couple of months now and feeling so much better for it! Enjoy being able to do a short or a long and a different one each day or two. Thank you so much - Caroline (Bob's partner ha ha). Joining you from Australia

[@georgetalaeske9125]

Thanks for that one too👌

[@helenlees9076]

Did this as my second video this morning from Nov week 4 Playlist and made me realise I haven’t done a balance exercise in a long time as I was wobbling a lot!! I shall be repeating this to try to improve as good balance is so important for this 72 yr old! 🙏 Rachel for the variety of your videos. 😘

[@Sosophie7926]

Brilliant workout, with great guidance on breathing and positioning. Thank you for sharing.

[@alicealex9076]

Dearest Rachel, Thank you so much - I loved these new exercises - balance work included ( which I always like to challenge myself with) - you are a blessing keep up the good work - greetings fm Athens, Greece !

[@vanetamorrison2972]

I've had to stop the video to write this. This sequence is amazing. It's helping me so much as my upper back is killing after a busy day. Thank you clever lady. God bless you. 😊 😍

[@sherrybuFitness]

Super balance workout. Thank you!

[@manjusyogadance9570]

Wonderful balance workout. Thx

[@syssyjaktman3990]

I love practicing balance❣ This was really good👌🤩 Thank you so much❤

[@hannamahafzah9281]

Rachel you are so creative Thank you 🙏 take care

[@sueburke2307]

I did this session last night and am so pleased with the progress I have made with my balance since following you. I really enjoy how I am working other parts of my body at the same time. Many thanks Rachel for making your sessions fun and available.

[@charlottegibbs2742]

I’m so grateful to you and your help with balance. I sustained a fracture to my sacrum two years ago from a fall working out at the gym. I now have screws in my back! I have been encountering a nagging pain where the screws are located and, therefore, find stretching extremely beneficial. Your standing Pilates seems to be my best medicine for reducing the chronic nagging. I have to admit, though, balancing on one leg is very tricky for me and sometimes have to hold onto something. Thank you for your many videos to choose from.

[@myrnamarell4497]

Did it again and again. Balance work finally steady🙋🏼‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸.

[@susangee9670]

Was a super combination of exercises and stretching session. Thank you Rachel , tip top

[@suedepinto2016]

Good stuff, thanks for adding to playlist, I missed Friday, good to have compact sessions, we can fit in to catch up! Also nice to do an a.m. and afternoon session as time and energy allow.❤😊

[@joanredican1398]

Tuned in for today's Live class there wasn't one so did the 20 Minute Standing Pilates Stretch Balance Challenge, followed up with the 30 Min Standing Ab Workout. Loved both these great sequences. Rachel thank you for this and hope all is well.

[@lynnblack6493]

Just what was needed!

[@heather7897]

I love standing Pilates ❤❤

[@patriciaackley1406]

Just completed the workout after a standing abs. Feels good on the muscles. Have a great day!

[@sbraisher5560]

Thanks! Loved this!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

So glad sbraisher! Thank you to you too! 🤗

[@winnpark4728]

[@bettylouoliver5595]

wonderful workout with you! Thank you

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're so welcome! X

[@susullivan1778]

Been away for a while but so enjoyed this routine

[@lynnblack6493]

Forgot about this great balance test. Good practice!

[@alanandchrisrockey3811]

67yrs old and only 4lbs overweight, determined to shift that middle roly poly. Good no nonsense workout. Thanks

[@davidforshaw9415]

I enjoyed your Pilates stretching today. The turning helps with my golf swing.

[@lynnong2459]

I’ve prefer the standing hundreds to lying down,Seems easier for me. Thank you Rachel

[@manar1623]

I'm happy to find ur channel , ur exercises suits the type of exercises I love . I'm an Arab follower and I hope u keep on posting more videos 🤗

[@annlogan8560]

Brilliant set. Inventive balance and effective stretch. Just what I needed this morning!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Perfect! Glad you enjoyed it Ann 😊

[@sbraisher5560]

Wow! Great stretch!

[@smadarbar1134]

Great again. Loved it!

[@chrisboals2474]

Very nice - I do this in my hallway as I have balance issues ( I put a fingertip on the wall so I know where I am - feet are numb and no reflex in ankles) very relaxing.

[@karolalaroquera7231]

Thank you. My mom has one disabled hand so she cant support her body on her arms or do movements using arm weights. So this is great.

[@marieramdhan6298]

Enjoyed your yoga class

[@PilatesWorkoutsOnline]

So much fun to work on balance, this was a fun challenge. Thank you for the workout!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're so welcome!

[@lynnblack6493]

Great stretches. What i needed after all day fence painting!

[@jenniferhatton7794]

I really appreciate these classes and am grateful that you leave everything in. I would like to get my 8 year old grandson doing some with me as he has no core strength and it makes me sad when I see him get disheartened when he has difficulty during ju jitsu because of this.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hi Jennifer, thbnak you so much for your message, I really appreciate your comments. I have avidoe you could do with yoru grandson that would be PERFECT for him- it's only 5 minutes so concenrtation wise it won't be too taxing for him and it contains lots of standing balance and core work- just what he needs to get stronger for his ju jitsu. Here is is:kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJiteGibqreirck Do lketr me know how he gets on with it, ideally try and do it with him 3 times a week- his strength and balance will improve very qyuickly at such a young age. Good luck to you both xx

[@therealyanhuang]

Hey, love what you are doing there. ❤️ Yan

[@karenschroeder1918]

I found this very challenging. Now my goal is to get better at it! 😊

[@juliemyatt3697]

So excited to try out your new vid

[@victoriagallipani5753]

Thanks!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Welcome! Happy Christmas 🎄🤗❤️

[@suzieqdavies]

I love your routines Rachel. I try and do one every morning. This one was great except the soleus stretch on the left side was missing at the end, oops! Something that would be very useful is a timer to show how long is left to go. I'm always rushing against the clock. Not sure if it's possible but thought I'd mention. Have a great day xx

[@jennieladew-duncan132]

That was a challenge, but I stuck with it, even though I have awful balance.

[@lynnblack6493]

8 months later, an I definitely needed again! Get working Ms Lynn!

[@irenealdred9397]

Challenging !!
