I have an auto immune disease and its nice to know im not the only one who get sick when i push a workout to hard. I am also at the end of premenopausal, for me its easier to build by doing more reps than adding more weight.
I started working out regularly probably 4 years ago. I started with 5-10 minutes a day. It took me 4 years but I am now at 45 minutes and I can do a 2 hour walk. If I hadn’t started slow and steady I would never have continued. I am 49 and in perimenopause and I do have slow days where I go back to my 10-15 minute gentle workout. I actually enjoy moving because I never made myself feel bad about not moving. I really go back and thank my past self for realising that the way for me was baby steps. I had to start slow or else it would never have turned into a part of my life that I actually look forward to.
Hi! I just found your channel last week and have been doing the stretching series and so helpful! Unrelated to this video but good calf stretches are hard to come by. Would you consider a 10 min calf stretch video?
It is so difficult to tune into your own body when you're younger -- it took me AGES to realize how much I was actually hurting myself by trying to push harder or stretch further than I was able. I'm fairly certain that I've exacerbated a shoulder injury by moving my arms incorrectly -- I had no clue that I was making my movements too narrow vs following the natural path my arms follow. Trying to match instructors is the single most damaging thing I've done.
Can not believe you are the same age as me, you look fabulous!!! (I live in New Zealand, during the colder months there is no daylight when I'm not at work so no way to go for long walks...)
This is great information. I was scrolling through my UA-cam and had this thought in mind and it popped up here .. what an amazing way to help me Thank you for this video
Thank you for your insights Jessica - from across the pond in the London, UK. I have chronic lower back pain and during the pilates classes I attend when we do crunches in table top or bridging variations, I never know if I should stop or not when I feel pain in my lower back. My instinct is to stop however I'm conscious that I'm doing the exercises to help strengthen my back. Anyway, your videos are wonderful, thank you.
Same concept as what I mentioned in the video! If it only lasts 1-2 days and allows you to live your normal life, it's probably normal. If it's more than that or excessive you may want to dive deeper.
Hello, I am recovering from POP surgery, sacrocolpopexy and would like to ease my way back into wirking out again. Can you point me to the right workout program on your website? Is it the one for prolapse? I just want to make sure I select the exercise program that is safe for my repair. Thank you!
That would be the 10 week post hysterectomy workout guide! Even if you didn't have a hysterectomy, that follows most protocols for prolapse repairs. Thanks!
Hello, Maybe you may help me. I have been practicing clinical Pilates for about 10 years. It helped a lot with my neck pain. However, the instructor has changed and I feel like he is being too heavy. I feel like I have the flu and I'm so sore. Furthermore, I feel that he is not taking into account new pathologies that I have. I have interspinous enthesopathy at the level of the ninth/tenth dorsal vertebra and the pain radiates to the ribs on the right side. I was better and now after 2 weeks of classes resuming I got worse. Does it may be to do with the exercises? Are there pilate exercises I can't do? I wanted to do more training but I get so tired of Pilates that I can't do it anymore. I have Hashimoto's thyroid, I don't know if it influences it. My english is not perfect i'm sorry.

Great way to adjust for your own needs!
I felt the same way when I heard Jessica share that!

Great advice, thank you x
Hi Jessica, great video! What about fatigue the day or two after a workout? I have a mild-mod scoliosis, hip hike and anterior pelvic tilt
Same concept as what I mentioned in the video! If it only lasts 1-2 days and allows you to live your normal life, it's probably normal. If it's more than that or excessive you may want to dive deeper.
Good morning 😊
How do I prescribe to unlimited access?
Thank you very Jessica⚡️🌸⚡️🌸⚡️🌈
Very interesting.. a lot of times, my muscle soreness after a workout lasts around like...3 days? If it's a hard one, maybe even 4. Is that normal? 😅
