Amazing, I did have to put my arms down halfway through, so the goal is to do this workout all the way through without dropping my arms. I usually do an arm workout with light weights and can honestly say that this workout was far more challenging, thanks again.
Dear Rachel Thanks for this work out. I hope you got over the first shock about your father. My father died 25 years ago and I still "talk" to him. It is true, our loved one do not leave us, they stay with us.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I totally understand what you say, I think I'll always talk to my father too. Sending you a big hug and deepest thanks for your kind words 🤗
I realljy liked this upper body workout, Rachel. I add it to your 7 Minute Pilates stretch which gets my lower body quite well. I am 83. Thank you from the US.
Since your intro video includes a farm scene and animals, I thought I’d share how I incorporated this workout today. We have some older farm animals that we need to isolate from the others when eating, which means about 10 minutes of down time for me after doing all the chores. Instead of sitting down & scrolling social media, I decided to prop my phone on the bales of hay & do these arm exercises! It was nearly perfect timing with the animals routine! Thanks for this quick, productive workout!
Oh I absolutely LOVE this!!! ❤️ What a beautiful scene you have painted in my mind. Thank you! And well done for taking care of yourself by doing some exercise rather than scrolling on socials!!! You go girl ❤️❤️❤️
Just to say I have been following you for a time now. You have no idea how you inspired me to start moving again. I used to be a nurse. It was my passion. I then got diagnosed with oestoarthritis of knees and spine and within months I was using a wheelchair. Your videos have helped me to keep going through this very rough partch in my life. I sincerely thank you for your guidance and encouragement. NHS will not consider a knee replacement as I am too young. I have to say I feel as if I have been dumped and forgotten about. Thank you for all your encouragement and advice. You can clearly see you do Pilates with love in your heart. Love Cath Kershaw from Glasgow in Scotland xx
This is still one of my favorite routines! After not being able to use arms overhead or lift weights for 2 months I am now able to do this again! Thanks!
Just leaving this time stamps cus I love theses specific exercises for my arms 💛 thank you so much for making this video, pilates is new for me so I really appreciate ur content! 1. 3:17 2. 5:54
Morning Rachel I have followed your classes for many years and they were a life saver during Covid. I have just done your arm workout and can just about type this message. Thank you so much it will really help my upper body strength especially when picking up my 18 month old grandson
Rachel, we are 2 pensioners who have been doing your workouts for a while (ever since we moved area and couldn't find a gym offering senior classes). We have to say yor videos are far better than gym classes we have attended in the past! You are so generous in giving your time and expertise for free, so we make this small donation in appreciation of all that you do. Many thanks, George and Diane 😘
LOve this! I was looking for arms but itwas so easy to add ballet barre inspired alternating legs too! Adding hand weights next time! I so appreciate you, so thank you!
This was the hardest one for me yet, but I look forward to doing it again. Thanks for the wonderful, non-intimidating stretches, exercises and Pilates!
I had an injury to my right shoulder. The pain has mostly gone but I lack flexibility and some movement. This workout really helps, thank you. Something similar combining toning and stretching would be a bonus. Thanks again
Really enjoy your workouts, Rachel. Thank you so much for making pilates enjoyable. I would love a longer standing pilates workout for osteoporosis in the future, if possible. Thanks Maureen
You're so welcome! Do try my Pilates for Very Painful Knees in the chair, it will help strengthen the muscles around the meniscus without putting any pressure on the joint 🤗
Hello Rachel, I hope you are okay, you've had a difficult few weeks. Just did this video, short and sweet , thank you. Am currently home in Australia for Christmas holidays, not back in Switzerland until end of January, loving the warmer weather. Due to time difference and family activities etc I might not get online for live groups but will keep up my fitness with your videos . Have a nice Christmas and all the best for the New Year. 🎄🎉
I'm loving this workout and have been coming back to it regularly! I am usually intimidated by arm strength exercises, but this workout is so accessible and I really appreciate that it's equipment-free. Here's hoping for a Part 2 someday!
Knowing you have been through difficult times - I hope you feel better now - I wish you peaceful Christmas and a joyous year full of action and love - Best regards, Alice from Greece
Do you have an arm workout that involves weights I love this workout I try to alternate between this one and then the legs or the standing for seniors even though I’m not a senior I’m still at that level. I’ve been adding 1 pound weights. I think they’re 1 pound weights to this exercise when I can, but I didn’t know if maybe you had an exercise like this for arms that was with weights.
Can these exercises reduce upper body bulging muscles mass in order to have more feminine upper body? I'm not interested in strength, but them reduce it too?
so good to find an exercise video being guided by voice only, no music, no countdown timer. Very good!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for your feedback, so glad you like my style xx

You did great Claire, as you can see no need for weights with this session. hope you enjoyed the change 🤗

This was great! I tore the meniscus in my knee so it’s nice to be able to do an upper body workout. Thank you Rachel!
‘Tore the meniscus’
You're so welcome! Do try my Pilates for Very Painful Knees in the chair, it will help strengthen the muscles around the meniscus without putting any pressure on the joint 🤗
