my body and mind has been through a lot... i cried once i finished this. i am so proud of myself for being able to do this and showing up for myself. thankyou for the gentle movements and words, i really appreciate this video
I’m proud of youu. We’re all improving ourselves and going through hard Changes. So keep going and do it with love everyday cause We’re always in this together ❤️💯
Started doing this routine 8 days ago, with an aim to doing some stretching every day , I’m usually really bad at continuing things for more than a couple of days, but right now I need to really start working on my physical strength and mobility. I’ve done it every morning now for 8 days! Doesn’t sound like much , but it’s a huge start for me. I turn 60 this year and really do need to get myself in shape physically and mentally. This routine has been great! I’ve felt really good this last week, and am already noticing a difference in my mobility. It must be due to doing this each morning, and the bonus is I’m actually enjoying it. 👍🏻🎉. Had my bloods done a couple of weeks ago and I am in the pre diabetes category 😢 so I definitely need to start taking care of my overall health. Kicking the sugar is the next big challenge ❌🍪🍫🍰🥺😢
I love that this routine is frustration free, I’m a somewhat retired ballerina and I really get frustrated with routines where I feel like I’m not capable of gaining my flexibility back, you make it really inviting and caring thank you than you ❣️
Absolutely I’m right there with you - getting back into my own once advanced workouts to now adapting to whatever I can do and enjoy after 4 surgeries to fix my cartilage that has been eaten up by arthritis- it feels so good to be back in the gym at any capacity that my body can do ❤keep up the great everyone
Was feeling a bit stiff during the first ones but after the whole session, youre right! I felt a bit more flexible without feeling my muscles and movements being pushed. Best 15 minutes Ive spent today. Thank you so much!
I love that you don't use music in your videos, it's so much easier to focus on what you're saying and helpful for me as a Muslim who can't listen to music. Thank you so much for your videos and explanations!!!
Love love your videos!!! I love that I can do for 5-10 min increments!!! I care for my disabled son and it’s been perfect to find time for at least 5-10min
I'm going through chemo for the 2nd time in 2 years and I use this video every day that I'm able. I enjoy the gentle slow movement that I'm able to give my body when I don't have the energy for a full workout. Thank you for this video.
Today makes week 4 of me doing these stretches and they have helped me sooo much!! Not just to keep my body fluid but also to help me against getting injured from workouts. I do this up to 3x a day if needed. It’s amazing. Thank you so much for this video and all the others you do!!
Ive been struggling with finding a slow easy work out to help my joints and this actually was so perfect i cant wait ti see my progress of flexibility as i continue
Thank you for these 15minutes of kindness & calm. I am really stiff and always have been, always hated stretching but somehow your voice and smile made it seem so easy and time went so fast! thank you
Loved this! I’ve been doing your workouts 4/5 times a week for about the last 6 weeks combining with trying to get back into running after a year out due to poor health/lack of energy (Menopause!) I have a bad cold atm but this work out was perfect for me today. Thank you 🙏 😊
I'm so thankful for this video. My shoulder blade area has been so messed up from nightly breastfeeding and I wanted something other than yoga. Although this wasn't meant for neck and shoulders I feel amazing! This video was so relaxing and the movement helped so much more than stagnant stretches. Thank you!¡
Thanks Jessica this was perfect flow u loosen u are a fantastic trainer I really appreciate you rock keep up the great work see I will be doing this every day I really get a lot out of your technique and style have a wonderful day see you next work out thumbs up always 😊
I stopped all life activities after i started my job one year ago i used to be moderately flexible, i just quit 2 days ago because my body started to feel sooo bad every muscle in me is sooo stiff my whole body hurts and im just 24!.. i did this routine and at the last step i couldn’t help but cry i felt sooooo much relief thank you for this gentle routine i don’t think i can do anything more than this it was short sweet and gentle but exactly what i needed to start my recovery
This was much needed today....I have a chronic pain disorder and many times a full yoga session is just to much. This was perfect for today! Gentle and calming!
I just want to take the time to thank you. This is the first video I actually watched, followed, and finished! I will be watching more videos for sure. THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thank you for this routine, and the other beginners Pilates routines you offer. I don't get to the gym for Pilates classes anymore, since I went back to work full-time. I now work in a little Pilates every day, in addition to my walking regiment. I've list 95 lbs, and I've kept it off, through diet and exercise, mostly walking and Pilates. Your routines are terrific!
I have done this exercise many times, it's really help releasing the tension in my body and calm my nervous system down, specially after a nightmare. Thank you so much for sharing
Usually, I find videos that say "beginner" but are still very difficult. This one, I was able to do easily as a beginner, and when the video finished, I didn't expect it to be done. It felt so nice to also have alternative options. Thank you!
I’m 20 years old and experiencing join pains which has worried me since I’m so young. I work in a desk chair most of the time and spend most me time seated in front of screens and so I’ve decided to work Pilates into my daily routine and this one in specific was so relaxing and made me smile once I was done 🤍
this is my fav video for stretching😭😭 i always search for your channel anytime i want to come back to the 'love myself' routine. love you, jessica and thanks for your effort to make these great videos💐
Your voice is very soothing, and i love how gentle you are with everything. I'm not the biggest workout enthusiast, I'm usually very stagnant, but this workout made me feel really good. Thank you.
here at 9am on jan 1 as a new year resolution for 2023- great video and it really did become easier towards the end i love that this is so simple because starting something like this is daunting esp if you have no experience, THANK YOU
This is beautiful The first exercise, i could feel my side of my waist being really tight but after the end, there was already so much less tension in there. I have only done this once and its great
Thank you, your voice is very soothing and my hands are usually really cold but now they are warm. Your work out also helped with loosening my sore muscles a bit.
This was amazing. I am in my early twenties and I realized I have not been as active as I should. I suffer from spine pain that is unfortunately a medical issue so I hoped this would be really beginner friendly. It was! I feel really good now that I followed through this routine. I hope I will be able to move more freely soon. I have set it as a goal to get more flexible. (also I had a rough day and the meditation part of this video was very welcomed)
I love this video! I think stretching with this video is one of the key things that helped me to heal strange running pain I would get when I ran distances.
Hey! I really enjoyed the exercises in this video-thank you for that! I do have a small suggestion, though. Typically, I use stretching sessions as a way to quiet my mind. While I appreciate the effort to engage with encouraging words, I find that less talking helps me focus and relax more effectively during these exercises. Perhaps others might feel the same. Thanks for considering this feedback!
I just now started working out because I realized how stiff and out of shape I was. It’s been hard to really focus on myself these past years, and doing this just calmed me physically, emotionally, and mentally. Tysm for this video.
I’ve got a tight hip flexor on my right side so thought I’d give this a go, I can feel the difference already 😮 love that it can be done on a bed which means I can do it as soon as I wake up or just before I go to sleep, amazing 🤩 thank you !!!
Wow. Really loved this video. I’m learning to stretch for the first time in my life. Some of these are difficult for me but you are so patient and informative. My hip feels like it’s popping out of place when i do the piriformis stretch and i can’t reach forward or keep my back straight when leaning forward from sitting position. Thank you for this. I am going to watch you daily
This was amazing. It was my first time. I can’t comfortably sit in a cross legged position. But I finished the stretches just by sitting on the floor with my legs extended. Thank you. Blessings!
Great routine for beginners! 🌟 These stretches are perfect for improving flexibility and relaxing the body. 🧘♀✨ Thanks for making it easy to follow! 🙌💪
Im doing your videos quite sometime now or im doing it everyday for 6 mos or more and i love doing it for my daily exercise. Im from manila phillippines . Im 73 yrs old.
Thank you for this!! I struggle w anxiety like a lot of us do, and sometimes sitting in bed is all i I can seem to do sometimes, this gave me a huge motivation finding your videos today❤
I've been doing this stretch routine every morning for about 1 month now. I'm only 36 but have some serious back problems. I love doing this routine in the mornings. You really seem to care about your viewers and I thank you for that.
Thank you Jessica! You are such a calm and relaxing person. I really feel recharged after each one of your workouts sessions. Keep up the wonderful work🙌
