    I'm 55 years old. i spent most of last year dealing with debilitating back pain. I'm now 4 month post back surgery and I'm finally ready to commit again, to my body reflecting the strong, fit and healthy person that I see myself as, in my minds eye. Thank you, Rachel, I'm super excited to try your plan.

    I found the warm up video, but couldn’t see a cool down video. Did I miss it and just not look properly or is there none and does any cool down for the worked muscles of that day work just fine?
    Thanks so much for these videos, done one day, just preparing for my next one tomorrow :)

    Thank you VERY much for this video, however I have issues with lower back pain while trying to prevent my back from arching when I'm doing crunches. Does anybody else have that issue? Is that something that can be prevented by adjusting my form?

    • @rachelsfitpilates
      @rachelsfitpilates  3 місяці тому

      It’s fine to keep the arch in your back ☺️ if it bothers you more to avoid an arch, just let the natural arch be

  • @farahahmad2142
    @farahahmad2142 2 місяці тому

    Thank you! This was helpful, my question is that I’m feeling the work in my thighs and legs, never the abs, what possibly am I doing wrong here

    • @rachelsfitpilates
      @rachelsfitpilates  2 місяці тому

      Any bridging will be leg work, but the ab days should be in the abs! It could be u are strong in the abs and need more repetitions ☺️

    • @rachelsfitpilates
      @rachelsfitpilates  2 місяці тому

      Yes they are a small range of motion for the crunches and even still- they most current research says that curl ups (crunches) can actually help DR!

  • @ciara6328
    @ciara6328 4 місяці тому

    I really like the wall Pilates and started just 3 days ago (your 28 day challenge), would you recommend doing two different challenges at once? Doing the one with the wall and without? Or should I just stick to one?

    • @rachelsfitpilates
      @rachelsfitpilates  4 місяці тому

    • @rachelsfitpilates
      @rachelsfitpilates  4 місяці тому +1

      I would try tucking under more during the workout like I showed in the beginning.. if that doesn’t help I would do some of the bridging with your feet on the ground instead of the wall

      If u want weight loss I usually recommend looking at your diet and eating in a calorie deficit. This is a calorie counting app that I have a partnership with and I have a 5% discount: web.joincarbon.com/?via=rachel

    It still feels like so much pressure on my shoulder blades and when I move further away from the wall it hurts my lower back. Help! Can you do another tutorial?

    • @rachelsfitpilates
      @rachelsfitpilates  4 місяці тому

      you can try more padding under the shoulder blades.. some even try it in bed if u have a big headboard. you could also try all the bridging exercises with your feet on the ground, you'll still get glute and ab benefits!

    • @rachelsfitpilates

      Bridge up and if it feels comfortable in your hamstrings (the back of your legs) you’re good! If it feels uncomfortable or cramps, scoot closer.. if it feels like too much pressure on your neck or shoulder blades, scoot further away

    • @rachelsfitpilates
      @rachelsfitpilates  Місяць тому

      It works the core more to stabilize and does give more range of motion than a regular bridge. But if u struggle with it you can keep your feet on the ground for it!
