Standing Pilates Full Body Workout to Strengthen Legs, Back and Improve Posture | Osteoporosis Safe

[@LindaScully-k5d]

Very thankful I found your channel! I’m 73 and have been exercising for years but as I age things get a little tougher. Your classes are wonderful. I have osteoporosis and Parkinson’s. Your classes keep me going strong!

[@anntews6325]

Rachel, you are a gem am so glad I found you. I am an 84 year “young” female who can’t keep up with the a lot of the other exercise videos because they just move too fast or do moves that are too difficult anymore. Thank you for making these videos for those of us who want to exercise and just need a little bit of extra care.

[@b.k.5007]

Thank you, Rachel. When I was diagnosed with osteoporosis I became afraid of movement which only made things worse. Your standing exercises have gotten me moving again and feeling so much better. I appreciate the caution you take and the precision of the movements which is so important.

[@sayayoru7697]

I am 36 years old have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and been diagnosed with early menopause aged 32 because of the cancer treatment I had. I am glad I found this video as it is helping me. Thank you.

[@kimdouglas]

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you. I love short and powerful pilate sessions like this. I also have severe osteoporosis - fractures have occurred. I treasure brilliant instructors like you serving those of us who want to enjoy and move and thrive.

[@karenshifferd2631]

I don't have osteo but I love working your pilates sessions in my weekly exercise routine because of your focus on the joints and balance. This was another great class. Have a good week ahead!

[@merlerussell3923]

Thank you Rachel. Your class for women with osteopaenia is always enjoyable.

[@patwinsor6425]

Thank you so much, Rachel. If been doing your videos for about 1 1/2 years and find a real improvement in my strength and fitness. I like the way you push us a bit more than I would do myself. I’m 72 and no longer do the seniors workouts… they are too easy! Just keep them coming. Ilene from the Toronto area.

[@vogelvriendin]

Dear Rachel, thank you so much for your wonderful lessons. I didn't knew Pilates but I'm so glad I discovered it. Your video's are great, your exercises are very good to follow and your voice is nice and calm. I do have osteporosis since 4 years but although I broke several bones I still can do almost everything. I'm so happy I found your channel! Best regards from the Netherlands.

[@martinedekerpel3523]

I like it again, I can not stop doing your classes one afrer one.

[@marypaquet3915]

Finally searched for playlists. It helped me find this session. Beautiful!

[@LilyMarsWrites]

I do not have osteoporosis but I woke up with a stiff neck and shoulders and have felt sore all day, then suddenly I thought, "GO TO RACHEL"! I should have thought of this eight hours earlier but better late than never. Thanks, Rachel.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you for this great workout. This was such a helpful video.

[@dmat7148]

I just found your channel after searching for a way to stay strong and healthy without having to get on floor or bend too much as I suffer from bad re-flux. Never knew that I could enjoy a standing Pilates workout, what a marvelous idea. I also have creeky knees and love your video for managing knee pain. Your manner and voice are so pleasant and soothing...thank you for creating such a lovely video series

[@lyndalgallaway]

Enjoyed this practice…great for in between weights days..thank you🫶

[@dgray1641]

Wow, thank you so much. I thank God for you, Rachel, and for your wonderful strengthening workouts. God bless you!

[@annbanderson]

Hi Rachel. I enjoyed that. 72 y/o, used to be very active, then developed a mobility issue, some combo of sciatica/arthritis. Been working with a PT for months, still in a lot of pain. I look for videos to supplement my home exercise program. I like your slow, gentle approach. Bookmarked this page, will explore your other videos.

[@patriciaboshoff6386]

I love your sessions have followed it from the lockdown , and it has proved to be a life saver. Being 63 I have al kinds of aches and pains, but your moves just make it go away! Although next day I can feel it. Have shared to friends often.. Thank you for making it easy to follow , just what one needs !! O I am in South Africa , Joburg.

[@valeriechristie3886]

I love this program. I used to have moderate osteoporosis and now it is very high. Thanks for helping me!!

[@Olga-uh4op]

Thank you🙏 I love pilates sessions like this, very helpful :) Greetings from Poland !

[@lindamorton7496]

Thanks Rachel. I try to do one of your standing sessions 4/5 times a week, and really feel the benefit. I had a mastectomy and reconstruction at the same time 10 years ago, and find your upper body stretching exercises really keep the stiffness at bay. Thanks again. Linda in Spain.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Dear Linda, great to hear you do 4/5 sessions a week, that is wonderful 😊 And so glad that post mastectomy and reconstruction that upper body stretches help release the muscles and fascia in your chest. This video is great for that with the open arm movements. Have you seen my Covid video? There’s some lovely stretches in there for the upper body too 😘

[@karenrice9912]

Thanks! I keep coming back to this gentle workout as an adjunct to a cardio session.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Wonderful! Thank you too! ❤️

[@yolandacastellanosvallejo3950]

Thank you Rachel. I was diagnosed with osteopenia and I was terrified. These standing exercises make me concentrate in my body and feel the work without hurting me. Thank you for taking so much care of us. I love your routines.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Dear Yolanda, I’m so glad you enjoy the workouts and you feel reassured about your condition. Please don’t worry, these will keep you strong 😊😘

[@zanaz9317]

[@judithdoran868]

That felt amazing, thank you so much! I am recovering from a severe dose of Covid and haven’t moved much lately so this class felt great. It was the perfect length and it’s made my back and arms feel much less tight. I can’t wait until I’m back to full fitness to complete all the classes I’ve missed 🤒👍🏼

[@irenealdred9397]

Lovely gentle workout thank you. xx

This is a great workout, Rachel. I have followed you since January of 2022, working about 3-4 times a week. I am more aware of my posture throughout the day and balance is improving consistently. I appreciate your help very much....from Canada

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

This is wonderful Patricia, thanks for following me and thanks for taking the time to take care of yourself. So proud of you 👏 😊

[@zuzanahenzel5650]

Thank you for the lovely workout. I need to work more on my balance. Keep up your great work.

[@sanetliebenberg3284]

Thank you so much Rachel for catering for various conditions. I love doing your classes as you concentrate on technique and especially having osteopenia it is so crucial so that I do not aggravate my spine. Because of your technique orientation I do venture into some of your other classes as well.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

That’s wonderful Sarah, so glad you enjoy the sessions 😊🙏

[@mariacabezas7665]

Thank you Rachel!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

With pleasure! ❤️

[@reneepiccirilli5163]

[@jimbrookman556]

Hi Rachel. Use of a second camera in this one is wonderful! We so enjoy your channel and routines. Carla & Jim Brookman, Colorado USA

[@margaretscott7472]

I dont have either condition but found this video very good. Balance needs to be worked on but its definitely a workout to be done again. Perhaps as a warm up to a longer video. Love these standing workouts and the new camera angles which are helpful in getting and maintaining the position. Thanks again Rachel for all that you do. Been following you since first lockdown over two years now.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

So glad to hear that Margaret. Yes the standing ones are good for everybody and I’m so pleased you benefit from them. Glad you like the new filming style too. Thanks for supporting me through the lockdown on this adventure which has now become my full time job. Love to help and love to hear how the sessions benefit your wellbeing 😊😘

[@figskatefan]

This was a great workout to gently move after yesterday's migraine. I liked how we stayed almost perfectly upright the entire time. Thank you!

[@franceskeogh9495]

My Dearest Rachel, what an outstanding workout I did it 2 times almost thinking of doing it 3 but I will do it again next week. Please when you ca Beginners Barre Bar I do the ones you had quite often. Thank You so much.💐

[@christinemorrison2656]

Thank You Rachael

[@SW-vf6gb]

Hi Rachel, just completed this great workout. This was also great on my back. Love your backdrop and intro! Will you be filiming from that location going forward? Look forward to the next workout and have a great day!

[@maureendesmarais6955]

Thank you SO much for this video. Found you during the pandemic but haven't been doing online videos for a couple of years. My osteopenia just moved to osteoporosis. It's my goal now to do either in-person or a video every day. I find your videos so comforting. I appreciate your reminders to stand straight. Any thoughts about putting together an osteo playlist? I see some osteo safe videos showing in my stream so I'm thankful I'll have a few to work through.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You’re so welcome Maureen and yes, a great idea 💡 putting together an Osteo friendly playlist. Leave it with me ❤️ Did you see I did a new Osteo friendly workout with light weights this week? Here it is, just in case you missed it kzbin.infoE5yjqYdbWRk?si=ibv9wjyLZmvsHLK9. ❤️

[@angelaporter4352]
