I really appreciate these classes and am grateful that you leave everything in. I would like to get my 8 year old grandson doing some with me as he has no core strength and it makes me sad when I see him get disheartened when he has difficulty during ju jitsu because of this.
Hi Jennifer, thbnak you so much for your message, I really appreciate your comments. I have avidoe you could do with yoru grandson that would be PERFECT for him- it's only 5 minutes so concenrtation wise it won't be too taxing for him and it contains lots of standing balance and core work- just what he needs to get stronger for his ju jitsu. Here is is:ua-cam.com/video/ZgJG5euRowg/v-deo.html Do lketr me know how he gets on with it, ideally try and do it with him 3 times a week- his strength and balance will improve very qyuickly at such a young age. Good luck to you both xx
I just wanted to comment on the standing 100. I’m gonna start doing it that way. Much easier on my neck and gives me more balance practice which I really need. So thank you for showing us something new thank you
Very nice - I do this in my hallway as I have balance issues ( I put a fingertip on the wall so I know where I am - feet are numb and no reflex in ankles) very relaxing.
This is helping me get back into pilates and moving my body after a really tough start to the year, my local class is always booked up and going into a class of strangers gives me anxiety! SO this channel will be great for me!
Thanks for this routine. I started today and I have a question about breathing. The breathing out time you set is too short for me: I worked quite a lot on my breathing and I would like to keep it that way, not train it back to be shorter. Does that impact the exercise in any way?
Oh my goodness, Rachel. You are so creative! I am always so impressed at the variety and the creativity you give to each video🥰. That was a wonderful challenge. Thank you!👏👏. Oh…and thank you for leaving in your rare wobbles. Even though I know that you are talking and counting, and thinking ahead which makes balance work harder, it still makes me feel better!
Good stuff, thanks for adding to playlist, I missed Friday, good to have compact sessions, we can fit in to catch up! Also nice to do an a.m. and afternoon session as time and energy allow.❤😊
I’m so grateful to you and your help with balance. I sustained a fracture to my sacrum two years ago from a fall working out at the gym. I now have screws in my back! I have been encountering a nagging pain where the screws are located and, therefore, find stretching extremely beneficial. Your standing Pilates seems to be my best medicine for reducing the chronic nagging. I have to admit, though, balancing on one leg is very tricky for me and sometimes have to hold onto something. Thank you for your many videos to choose from.
Did this as my second video this morning from Nov week 4 Playlist and made me realise I haven’t done a balance exercise in a long time as I was wobbling a lot!! I shall be repeating this to try to improve as good balance is so important for this 72 yr old! 🙏 Rachel for the variety of your videos. 😘
Tuned in for today's Live class there wasn't one so did the 20 Minute Standing Pilates Stretch Balance Challenge, followed up with the 30 Min Standing Ab Workout. Loved both these great sequences. Rachel thank you for this and hope all is well.
I've had to stop the video to write this. This sequence is amazing. It's helping me so much as my upper back is killing after a busy day. Thank you clever lady. God bless you. 😊 😍
I'm loving these 20 minute sessions & they're so easy to fit into even the busiest of days. I'm a runner with a knee injury, so I can't run at present. I've lost quite a lot of my former strength through layoffs but a 20-minute session each day gives me a great rehab workout. I'd appreciate any that focus on rebuilding leg strength without aggravating injury. Thank you Rachel.
I love your routines Rachel. I try and do one every morning. This one was great except the soleus stretch on the left side was missing at the end, oops! Something that would be very useful is a timer to show how long is left to go. I'm always rushing against the clock. Not sure if it's possible but thought I'd mention. Have a great day xx
Not sure why I haven’t commented before. This was great. I did it after one of your fast flow sessions. In a week, how often should be we doing stretch and balance sessions. At the moment, I am doing one as part of every third session. These really are fantastic and make such a pleasant start to my day. Thank you ❤️
I did this lovely workout this morning and really enjoyed it. As with all Rachel's workouts I find them challenging, inspiring, fun and effective and they always leave me feeling energised and great. Thanks so much Rachel you are wonderful 👏 🥰❤
I did this session last night and am so pleased with the progress I have made with my balance since following you. I really enjoy how I am working other parts of my body at the same time. Many thanks Rachel for making your sessions fun and available.
Love these. I cannot believe how much more balanced I am. Even on my bad ankle (bad bursitis after a partially torn achilles) which is so much better with these exercises! Thank you Rachael! I have turned some friends onto you as well!
Dearest Rachel, Thank you so much - I loved these new exercises - balance work included ( which I always like to challenge myself with) - you are a blessing keep up the good work - greetings fm Athens, Greece !
Lovely balance and stretch Rachel; Your work outs are always full of variety and I thank you for sharing with the world!!!! Favorite channel for Pilates💞🙏🎉
Really enjoyed that Rachel. Loved the balance exercises. I can tell that I have improved not that I don't wobble or loose my balance it just isn't straight away!
Oh, no! I was gardening and joined too late - I’ll do this this afternoon, I love the standing videos, great for my balance issues. This one looks challenging, with all the one-leg work! Thanks for all you do!💪🏼💕
Love your videos!! Have been doing a variety of all the standing ones over a couple of months now and feeling so much better for it! Enjoy being able to do a short or a long and a different one each day or two. Thank you so much - Caroline (Bob's partner ha ha). Joining you from Australia
Thanks Rachel! Wonderful standing workout, I appreciate that you continue to upload videos with new type of exercises to continue to challenge ourselves!
Very nice stretch & balance practice.
Very challenging. I will do this one consistently. I had surgery, recovering all is fine and these exercises are great. Thanki you Rachel.
Good morning Rachel, thank you again. It is so nice to exercise with your guidance and good company every morning😊
Good morning Linda, and lovely to spend time with you too xxx
Excellent routine.. 👌👌
I regularly do this session for balancing. Since I have started your Pilates classes my balance has improved a lot. Thank You. 🙏
You're so welcome! xx

I also completed this, because I had a headache was turning to a migraine. Thank for challenging, but relaxing workout.
wonderful workout with you! Thank you
You're so welcome! X
Thank you - your 20 minute sessions are just what I need - so enjoyable and so helpful! Best wishes
Great balance challenge!💕
Very nice - I do this in my hallway as I have balance issues ( I put a fingertip on the wall so I know where I am - feet are numb and no reflex in ankles) very relaxing.
Just completed the workout after a standing abs. Feels good on the muscles. Have a great day!
67yrs old and only 4lbs overweight, determined to shift that middle roly poly. Good no nonsense workout. Thanks
Wonderful workout.
I just saw, I did this workout a year ago. I see and feel the change. Awesome. Thank you Rachel ❤
Brilliant workout, with great guidance on breathing and positioning. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this practice! It is great for starting your day with a gentle stretch and movement.

Revisited this today as my balance needs attention. It was just what I needed. Thank you Rachel🎉
Added this to today's pilates. Thought it was a stretch one but more workout. Loved it. Have a good day!
Again, I'm thankful that I found your Chanel. I love your Pilates. 🧡
Oh my goodness, Rachel. You are so creative! I am always so impressed at the variety and the creativity you give to each video🥰. That was a wonderful challenge. Thank you!👏👏.

Thank you. My mom has one disabled hand so she cant support her body on her arms or do movements using arm weights. So this is great.
Thank you Rachel. I nearly balanced on one leg for the whole time. 👍🏻 x
Great job carole! 👏👏👏
What a super balance and coordination challenge x
Had a very busy morning and didn’t think I had time for exercise today but this was quick and felt amazing. I feel so energized now. 💕
I love your routines Rachel. I try and do one every morning. This one was great except the soleus stretch on the left side was missing at the end, oops!
