    I just completed day one! I am ready to take my life back and be there for my family fully. I cried a little when i couldnt lift my pelvis up with one leg in the air. However, i cried even harder after the workout because even though it was hard for me, I did it. I did it to the best of my ability. As long as I keep showing up that is what matters! It can only strengthen me 🤍 Looking forward to the next 27 days! I might pair this with a short walk as well.

    I recently finished this challenge, and it's been a godsend! I was diagnosed with chronic migraine 4 years ago, and the cause was misdiagnosed. I went through years of drug cocktails that never worked and countless rounds of steroids. My health, fitness, and confidence was taken from me. The cause was found, and I'm virtually migraine free. I have started to take my health and life back and try to shed the 80lbs I gained over the past four years from the drugs and being bedridden. Doing these exercises are challenging, yet gentle on this old, heavy, broken body and I'm grateful that I've found these. Thank you so very much!

Been contemplating about starting exercising again after birth of second child and now after 1 year postpartum, im ready to be fit and get my strength back again. I used to do boot camp before the birth of my first 6 years ago and since ive given up on taking care of myself and putting kids before anything. Now it's time to get fit. Thank you for making simple easy videos to follow. Will be starting day 1 today and will keep posting my progress. Good luck to me!

      It’s really a matter of preference. HIIT is typically a mix of very high energy interval training with resistance and weight training resulting very high calorie burns per session. It’s high impact so there is typically a longer recovery time. Pilates is low impact, definitely less stress on the body compared to HIIT, and while it will certainly burn calories, it’s nowhere near as high as HIIT. Both will give you results though. It’s just a matter of what type of program you’d like to commit to at this time and what your personal goals are. You could also incorporate both programs into your routine. It’s all a matter of how you’d like to approach your journey.

    since the beginning of the pandemic I haven't worked out, I used to play volleyball 4-5 times a week. I have gained close to 30 kg in this period, I decided to start my health and fitness journey and ease my way back into that lifestyle. This was my first work out. Thank you for this, even with the weight of my new body, and my current fitness level, I was able to do this work out. It was not easy, it was challenging of course but not so hard that I couldn't do any of it that I quit. Thank you so much.

    After months of not going to the gym and gaining weight, I decided to try this and hopefully see some change. Losing weight is harder now that I'm not in my 20 or even 30s. This workout felt very doable and these were moves that even I could do without feeling breathless.

    I have never used exercise as a way to achieve overall wellness, but my body is telling me it needs it. My flexibility is a joke and I feel older than I need too. I feel like this is something that I can commit to as a personal challenge, whereas Ive always given up with high impact as a beginner though thin, i wasnt fit or flexible enough to follow though. I am average weight , 120 , 52 year old female. Active with work , but changed careers 4 months ago and am not getting the cardio I did for 25 + years .. I am also naturally lazy so finding something that keeps my interest is a blessing... I am so looking forward to challenging myself to take the action needed to get where I really want. Here's to 2024. My goal is to gain superior flexibility and drive to ultimately combined this with strength training to transform my overall wellness. I can see its vital for my body and mind to feel good agaiñ. Thank you for this opportunity.

    I just went back to work after being a stay at home mom for 14 years! I was able to build work outs in to my day, but now I come home SO exhausted. Since August, I've put on 10 lbs and have been frustrated feeling unable to fit exercise in to my "new" life. I'm super excited to have found this as I can easily fit it in to my morning routine. I've printed out the schedule and look forward to starting day 1 tomorrow! 🤞

I've done a ton of workouts, Pelaton bike, gyms and diets and this by far is the most comfortable, enjoyable and most addictive workouts. I literally can't wait to come home from work and hop on the days workout. I can happily say I've lost 24 lbs. I lost 2 sizes and feel confident. 💖🤩💪🏻

Since I got it its been challenging to keep a good weight, so I gained and had to pause Zumba and Muay Thai. I think this routine would be perfect for my condition plus doing Intermittent fasting- I can lose the weight I gained and get back to exercises I love the most. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge.

In order to combat that, I accepted where I am, looked for a beginners Pilates, and will restart for day 1. I want to focus on form vs “just getting it done”. I’m proud of myself for even acknowledging this. I will print this PDF out and I will say that is my Day 1🎉 I will reach back once done.❤

It’s fun to come back over time and do the same videos and see how far u have come! If u find this challenge still doesn’t seem like the right fit, my new 14 day wall pilates challenge might be better! Good luck! 14 Day WALL PILATES CHALLENGE- AB FOCUSED - Rachel’s Fit Pilates

    I think I finally found a routine where I feel very comfortable, the intro video was definitely helpful. I´ve been struggling with weigthloss and exercise since I was 11, and sticking to a workout routine has never been easy, mainly because I don´t have motivation, even less discipline, but I´m here for it, I can allow myself to do this cuz I´m in a college break and I need this peaceful vibe, so I hope the rest of the days are as well. I hope that this works for me, since going to the gym is very overwhelming for me and doing this at home doesn´t make me feel more insecure. Thank you
