I need this. I’m in therapy now to strengthen my leg muscles. I have a form of MD. Dystrophy of the muscle so I’m weak and have weak leg muscles and arm muscles. Therapy is helping but I’m happy to find you. It’s free and I don’t have to buy the app. Thank you. ❤
This is one of my favourite workouts from you. Your workouts are so helpful, thank you ❤ may I ask if it would be possible to make the workout part of this video a stand alone episode, as I try to do it daily and UA-cam doesn't make it easy to rewind each day. Just an idea, thanks so much 😊
So glad you enjoy this session 🤗 Sorry you have trouble rewinding, that must be frustrating for you. I’m afraid I can’t make a fresh standalone session as that would mean re-editing the video. Hope you’re not disappointed. Other option is you alternate with some of my other standing sessions by working through the playlist. I’ll pop a link here just in case: ua-cam.com/play/PLiAecv7YEF5i2tjauV99SDoqFXTtVFJ7h.html&si=-HmVOU6XLG9ZCoL8
I agree with the comment that the leg exercises were a little quick. There was not enough time to readjust my balance as I changed legs. However, the arm part was super.
Hello Rachel, I ‘m following standing Pilates and it’ s exately what my body needs because light osteoporosis . thank you😊 However do you suggest exercises for lower abs whitout lying down. The standing position is more relaxing for my spine😅 Roberta ( Italy Florence )
It's a tricky one, you think it is easy-peasy (I wanted to make two easier ones today), until Rachel pulls out those arm exercises at the end :-) . But it was fun and those arms need it. Thank you!
❤I loved this workout- My calves and ankles very weak. I feel sure this will help me. Thank you so very much Rachael! My balance has improved and feeling so much more confident😊
Wonderful! I am so glad you did it and you feel good. Keep going and keep rpeeating the sessions of mind that feel good for you. Have you tried my Pilates for Scoliosis session? Here it is just in case you want to: ua-cam.com/video/li_AZfvCZZw/v-deo.html ❤️
Good morning Rachel. I did this workout this Sunday morning here in USA. A wonderful way to start the day. I’m 71 and have been doing your great workouts since the pandemic. Thank you for your inspiration!
@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat Rachel. Do you do exercise other than pilates? I remember trying your videos a few years ago and really feeling a positive effect, but then I also added weight training and hill walking to the mix. And got so tired that I'd hit the couch rather than the play button on a pilates video. This time I'm trying to put the pilates first every morning. But I'm afraid that will mean dropping the other forms of exercise. However the other types aren't really helping me get rid of pain and stiffness as I age. Just curious what you do. Love your channel and your attitude! ❤
Did this video today, and managed all of it, albeit with some modifications. Still stiff, especially my knees, after my fall this past Sunday. I didn’t go gung ho. The arm exercises were challenging. Kept my arms up until the last few reps. Couldn’t continue, as they were getting sore. I want to thank you Rachel, @Robyn Nuekomm, @Marion Wilk, @Martine DeKerpel for your concern about my fall. Strangely, it had nothing to do with balance. I’m good there. Caught the edge of my sandal on the curb, or at least that’s what I think happened. I’m so very grateful I wasn’t seriously hurt. No broken bones!!
Ah so glad to hear you're ok. We were all rather worried about you in the live yesterday ❤️ Well done on making it through the session and keep getting better, we're all behind you xx
3rd time this week. Took your challenge and can do all the exercises with arms up😊. My coordination is awful it takes a couple of sessions to keep in time with you😮. Thank you Rachel.
You got this! And well done 👏 You kept your arms up all the way through that arm and shoulder segment which is a huge accomplishment. You’re doing great 😊 Keep on going Jean 🤗❤️🤗
I find you today evening..I do IMI 's exercise,its good but I need Pilates too.Thank you,I will mix Pilates, fixed bike, Imi's and swimming...Thanks for idea❤❤❤
Wow, after several hours in the car last few days, that felt terrific! All the areas I need to work- I’m 59 now, but balance/ataxia deficits often make me feel older…great to get back to Pilates, I credit Rachel’s knowledge, excellent classes and positive attitude with the recovery I’ve made over last several years! My issues will be for the rest of my life, but thanks to daily Pilates my quality of life is better than I expected right after my brain surgeries. Even got to take a little birthday 🥳 trip to the mountains! I get fatigued, but with a rest in between outings I can still enjoy things. Thank you, Rachel, you’re a ⭐️ 😊❤
Awww Sue, how lopvely to hear from you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 🎂 😘 It is as always such a pleasure to help you and hear how you re beniftting from the session.You are an inspiration Sue, you have that wonderful positve attitude and you take care of yourself with your daily session. It is truly wonderful to hear how Pilates has become part of your life and your self-care. Sending a big birthday 🤗 ❤️
I am always amazed as this workout is for seniors but the arm workout was a real challenge. I managed to keep my arms up all the time, but it was a challenge. Thanks again Rachel.
Thank you so much Rachel, wonderful session and just what I needed while recovering from a bout of Covid and feeling very floppy and weak! Will definitely add this class to my replay list. Keep up your wonderful work, you are doing so much good for so many people!!
Just completed this routine brilliant Rachel thank you I really feel I have worked out with this one and my 75 year old body just about managed it. I feel great now!
Really felt this❤ it’s my first exercise since I had a hysterectomy and it feels good to move with attention. It would be so helpful if you could do a session for women following a hysterectomy as I have scoured the internet and there’s not much out there for building back to exercise slowly and more importantly safely. As always, am so thankful for your wonderful teaching. You got me through the pandemic and now this next phase of recovery.
Dear Alice ❤️ Thank you so much for your beautiful message. I am so glad to read you enjoyed the session after retruning to exercise for the first time post your hysterectomy. You've done so well ❤️ And thank you for your suggestion, I will most certainly add that to my future filming plan. In the emantime can I suggest you try this session: ua-cam.com/video/boQ1h7Ax8oo/v-deo.html It is for another condtion but it targets the same area and I think it could work well for you. I also have 2 sessions for Pelvic Floor Health, one in a chair and one on the mat that also will help the healing in that area of your body. Here are the links: Chair Video ua-cam.com/video/symL70qeGcU/v-deo.htmlsi=iKQRGHQ8iOHzc6gI And Mat Session: ua-cam.com/video/S-9mB_WcSXw/v-deo.html Sending a huge hug 🤗 Rachel xxx
Regularly do exercises including😮 my shoulders but that last bit was certainly a challenge! You kept me going right to the end so thank you as always ❤🙏 Kofi subscriber in appreciation of your freebies. Xx

Thank you for introducing me to palates! I’ll be keeping it up with you. I had 2 knee replacement and I can’t bend them very well especially it’s hard to get down on a mate. This was a great workout for me! 😀

Absolutely brilliant I’m not 60 but totally loved it and was challenged with the arms you were tough with us Rachel 😂
A little fast but I didn’t give up. My arms are on fire-in a good way.
Well done xx
This was absolutely awesome. I was able to hold arms up the whole time. What is next video in the series?
