Rachel you just don't know I have been searching for a wall Pilates routine so I don't have to pay for it. I'm an older woman and I want to stay in shape so thank you so much for doing this.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're so welcome!

[@karlajaymedina]

Same girl! Thank you!

[@SuzannaLiessa]

Day 1, done. Thank you! I've been looking for something like this. My primary goal is fitness, but I've been extremely sedentary for quite a long time. I haven't wanted to jump into anything that isn't aimed at _beginner_ beginners, if you get my meaning. Too intense right at the beginning & I'm done before the 1st week is up. This is just about right. I appreciate directions like getting my shoulderblades off the floor. I don't always know how far a movement should go.

[@stevinski12]

iv been searching for a exercise routine i can do im so glad I found your channel 🌞

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw im so glad to hear that!

[@rondadoliveira1305]

I am so happy I found your channel! I am 58 years old and trying to work my way back into shape after have long Covid for the past 3 years. I was very active before and had a lot of stamina but this sickness just killed all my energy. Thank you for these videos. I am going to try the 28 day challenge! I am soooo looking forward to it. Your videos are just the right length for me and just the right effort. ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

aw im so glad to hear that! great job!

[@dragomcaty]

Day 1. Have just started. I hate working out and am clearly out of shape. But your video gives me hope and good energy. Very easy to follow and not intimidating at all. Thank you!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I’m so glad!

[@amyparry6905]

THANK YOU RACHEL. I HAD A STROKE IN 2020 AND HAVE CONTINUED WEAKNESS ON THE RIGHT, I FEEL THIS WORKOUT IS NOT ONLY DO-ABLE, BUT ENJOYABLE, ESPECIALLY AS I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE FOR REGULAR EXERCISE OTHER THAN WALKING. ALL MY APPRECIATION!

[@lisahak9207]

I can feel this workout! I’m 58 and had my both of my kids in my late 30’s and early 40’s by c-section so hoping to build up my upper and lower ab muscles and get rid of some menopausal weight. Glad I found your channel. Tried Pilates yrs ago and it just seemed to intense , I like how this is done with the wall and weights are added in. Thanks Rachel!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

im so glad! I hope you continue to enjoy them :)

[@zmcwardy254]

Really enjoyed the well-balanced alternating focus in this workout Rachel, thank you.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

You're so welcome!

[@tashademarsh4996]

Was going to do this workout and then add the lower body stretch that’s in a couple of days. But this one alone knocked me on my glutes lol. So I’m good for now. Thank you!

[@mariehope8314]

68 year old woman, I walk, swim and bike but have been looking for something for strength, flexibility, posture support. This is perfect thankyou!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Great to hear!

[@HaticeZoucha]

Doing this for the 2nd time. Still as excited as the first time I did it. Love your exercises. Keep them coming please.

[@sondrajohnson59]

Day 1 done! 🙌 My husband and I are 64 and have been looking for something like this that we can do together to build strength and agility. Thank you so much for offering these challenges!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful!

[@Armysforevershop]

Loved this workout. Added it after my 20 min walk today and it was the perfect combination 🫶🏻

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s great! Love the combination

[@wendysmits6563]

Dear Rachel, thank you so much for all your inspiration. You make it easy to do healthy exercise ❤

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank u so much! So glad it helps ☺️

[@hnrunyan]

Today's workout was just what I needed. Thank you Rachel for putting the Sept Challenge together and making it available for all. I'm nine days in and can feel the difference already. I'm motivated to see the month through.😀

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful!

[@KarenDallett]

Rachel! Just found your pilates summer challenge. Love the first day and will continue it! Like the balance of abs and arms. Needed this lift (lol) and your gift to us olders is simply amazing. In gratitude!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wonderful!

[@naomibailey6886]

Monday 22nd first routine ✅ now onto Wall Pilates lower abs, thanks again Rachel for these weekly programmes, really helps me keep focused. ❤

[@bril6126]

I just did my first Pilates workout ever! Thank you for this! Can’t wait for tomorrow 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! So glad you liked it!

[@melindabenavides8058]

Another great workout. Loved the 20 minutes and the arm and abs focus!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Glad you liked it!!

[@janematthews6016]

Rachel thank you so much for this work out ,i enjoyed it a lot . i have done the 28 day challenges twice but never finished as life got in the way .

[@rebeccaKmua]

Great workout! I love how you alternated between abs and arms. I upped my weight for this, which made it more challenging. Definitely struggle with a heavier weight when doing skull crushers.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

So glad u liked it Rebecca!! Yes I liked the arm focus staying down too 😆 those skull crushers are tough!! Can definitely use a lighter weight for those if u have another set 😊😊

[@CynthiaWinters-hu6gd]

My son and I have completed the first day of the 14 day challenge. Thank you!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Wow i love that!

[@PaulineCastillo-s1m]

Loved the double focus in only 20 minutes!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay! So glad u liked it!

[@rumeysarumovsky]

Today i switched my 28 wall pilates exercise to 14 days. Day 1 ✅ Unfortunately i had to modify every single move. also my legs were diagonal, no bridges or no bending.. no weights etc. I just straightened my legs and tried to do moves.. Hope my knees won’t hurt again cuz they’re in so much pain. aches, hurts and I don’t wanna cause any MORE pain. I’ll see my physiotherapist next week and will try to figure out what happened to my knees, i was just trying to do wall pilates! Why it caused me so much knee pain idk.. Hope this terrible knee pain is gonna leave me so soon. hope it’ll work for me ❤ thank you Dear Rachel ❤

[@Jensfit4twins]

My first wall pilates class and my first class with you. It was great!!!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Aw thank u! So glad u enjoyed it! ❤️

I’m sorry for being naïve to how to use this but if there’s somebody who could direct me I would be grateful please. Thank you.

[@naomibailey6886]

Went for a run with my partner this morning … achieved 4K (slowly building up again) when I got back I chose this over a full body workout 😅 glad I did, great workout, thanks Rachel x

[@peachie7483]

I love upper body workouts 😩😩❤️

[@rachelsfitpilates]

🙌🏽💪🏽

[@dhiggs3788]

Hi Rachel, day 1 complete. Feels good to be back into my fitness routine after being away for 10 days. My intention for this 14 day challenge is to do each workout twice. I’m feeling very ready for longer workouts now. Question re: Pilates Mini - do you feel that this equipment really amps up the fitness game? Thanks for another Pilates challenge Rachel!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Love that! And yes so much you can do with it! Very versatile and great for traveling as well. You can even double up the ropes to get a lot of resistance

[@caramel3677]

Day 1 done ❤️

[@nikitakorgaonker7161]

Day 1 done ! 😊

[@nikitakorgaonker7161]

Well i fell of the wagon didn't realise how un healthy I am until i couldn't get out of bed the next day after doing this session but I'm back and determined. I've decided I'm good to restart everytime I miss and I'm going to get to that 14th exercise not sure in 14 days or not but I am going to get there... So this is day 1 done again;

[@adorationsimons8549]

Day 1 ✅(doing this for accountability 😅)

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Yay!

[@kefusleo4861]

Checking 😂 did you finish babe ?

[@pritikudale7059]

Done day 1❤

[@charitaodom3500]

Question what amount for ankle weights and dumbell weights to get before starting the 28 day challenge I'd like to have everything before starting. Thanks in advance

[@rachelsfitpilates]

For beginners I recommend 3-5lbs for dumbbells and 2lbs for ankle weights (when purchasing u would select the 2lb option, not the 1lb)

[@montserrattoledano3978]

I so totally loved it!!! Thank you, Rachel ❤ While doing day one I was wondering if you could help me with a little question I have...What is the role of breathing pattern (is that what it's called?) ? I always try to follow when you say breathe in/ exhale, but sometimes I take longer to exhale 😅 Thank you, again. See u tomorrow 😊

[@rachelsfitpilates]

It can help sometimes but if it gets confusing- no worries! Just breathe normally ☺️ I think it matters most if u are exerting a lot like in heavy lifting!

[@montserrattoledano3978]

@@rachelsfitpilates thank you 💗

[@lanahughes1895]

Would you recommend that we would beed to make sure our core is engaged during the workout

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I don’t cue it for crunches bc if you’re flexing up, you’re working the muscle/it’s being engaged just from u doing the movement 😀

[@kathyryan3363]

How do I support my back more during these workouts. My yoga mat is not cutting it.

[@rachelsfitpilates]

this video reviews back pain! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gavFYqKAiJiCbLM

[@tristaruth5705]

Whew..🎉

[@tmoody225]

Day 1 | 14 Day Wall Challenge Complete!

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Woo!!

[@ldh6799]

Day 1 completed but couldn’t do the last stretch. Wasn’t able to reach my feet 😅 Also don’t have the dumbbell s…

[@rachelsfitpilates]

That’s ok! Even if u have 2 water bottles or 2 cans that would be great

[@ldh6799]

@ thank you taking the time to reply…😊

[@shaimam8665]

Can we skip the weights ?? As i dont hav them..

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Sure! U can also use 2 cans, water bottles or glass jars (like for spaghetti sauce) if u want 😀

[@shaimam8665]

Thanks😃

[@Lisa-k1v5b]

what weight should dumbbells be for beginners?

[@rachelsfitpilates]

I would do 3-5lbs but if you don’t have dumbbells, you can also use water bottles, cans or glass jars

[@radhasclasses7]

Done

[@user-js3fd9hh5v]

I fell off, starting over.. Day 1 ✅

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Glad you came back!

[@debdozoretz271]

How many lbs are the weights?

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Mine are 10 lbs but for beginners I recommend 3-5lbs

[@DDavis-pt7uu]

how can I get the free wall pilates chart

[@rachelsfitpilates]

rachelsfitpilates.myflodesk.com/28daywallpilatesyoutubechallenge

[@gwynjames]

Would be nice to see a normal person doing the excercises instead of someone perfect all the time in these clips

[@rachelsfitpilates]

Sadly it’s hard for many instructors to want to put themselves out there like this, knowing how critical people can be about their looks

[@nidhivasava-sf3yd]

Thank you so much for your efforts 🫶🏻

[@rachelsfitpilates]

My pleasure 😊
