- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- Challenge your balance as well as your core with this 10 minute standing Pilates workout. It's much harder than it looks! I created it especially for you after the popularity of my other standing workout. These exercises will work your spine in all directions to help it feel more flexible and strong, you'll do stretches as well as exercises to tone your thighs and glutes and I've included some new exercises to really challenge your balance. I've also added a standing core work for the first time, let me know what you think!
You can do this workout anywhere, at home or on holiday. It's a simple, effective Pilates routine, explained clearly and at a steady pace so you can do it along with me. I recommend it be done daily to keep you feeling fit and flexible wherever you are. Enjoy!

I have been doing all of your videos for seniors. I am 72 and spent the last year dealing with complications from surgery. Since recovery I have been loosing weight, down 70 pounds, and your classes have been helping me feel younger and not like such a couch potato. Thank you
I live in Cape Town South Africa and am 87. Love your workouts and do your 60 min workouts 3 times a week and your 10 min ones in between. Thank you for your programme. Love them. xx
I am 81 (a young 81) and just discovered your Pilates workouts. Love them. Can't do the standing on one leg for long probably due to a hip replacement in the right leg but love the variety and only the standing ones. Thank you for these. They are helping tremendously.
I have been doing your online classes for seniors now for about 6 months and can't believe how much my balance has improved - so important for me at 71 years of age. Thank you Rachel and keep up the wonderful work - you are really making a difference!
I am 84 and like Lucy love your videos, they are indeed tremendously helpful. It’s very good to have guidance re the breathing otherwise I’m soon out of sync. Can’t do some of the balance exercises but hey practice makes perfect! Thank you Rachel. Josie
My right arm was quite problematic. That is I could only lift it so far(not very far). It was due to an accident I had years ago and I was told I would have a permanent disability. Thanks to you and your workouts the mobility in it is great, I can now lift it and follow your routine, Thank you
Thank you Rachel. I am slowly progressing from your first video for seniors to this one. Feeling the difference in my posture and balance. Love your voice too. Thank you
That's wonderful, good for you Manjit! Thanks for the compliment too😊
I came across your standing Pilates workouts after some research on UA-cam. I started with your workout for the over 60s, but I confess that I am 78. I used to do Pilates a few years ago, but having Dupuytrens Contracture operations on my hand, I cannot put my hand flat on the floor, which is uncomfortable for me. So I took up aqua aerobics instead. Now the gym is closed, I am starting to do your standing Pilates classes and feel that my balance is improving. Your speech is so clear, unlike some of the other videos I have watched. Thankyou so much.
I really like the standing pilates for seniors. Well instructed, manageable, and quick so I can exercise without having to carve out a big bit of time if I don't have it. Thank you Rachel.
I have worked out all of my life. I recently had a heart attack and am trying to get back to what I love. Thank God I found you! Your workouts are meticulous and so effective. There is no fluff like some others. I have always loved pilates and enjoy every moment I spend on your videos. I just want to keep going and going. Having done pilates for so long I truly appreciate your teaching! God bless you!
I did this today following the Standing Pilates for Seniors 60+ yesterday. I had a minor stroke last August so I am really enjoying these so far!
MY BODY IS IN LOVE WITH THES 10 MINUTE STANDING PILATES WORKOUTS! If I feel good I can keep going, if I don’t feel so hot I’m still feel empowered anytime I push through and see a 10 minute workout too. Keep uploading!
That is absolutely wonderful to hear, I'm so glad they're working for you! Keep going and I'll be sure to add some more in the future. In the meantime, keep doing these workouts as the more you do them, the more benefit to your health and wellbeing. Well done! Have a fabulous day, Rachel
Thank you Rachel for putting so many variations/levels on line. I am unable to go to my usual club during this unprecedented time so this has been really useful. As an ex Dance/Exercise teacher I am grateful to have found someone who teaches safely and clearly which is quite a rarity these days. Wishing you every success and thank you once again. Penny
Starts @ 2 minutes. Great quick break from sitting at my desk! Warm but no sweat 😀
I just found you yesterday on UA-cam. I love your classes. I am 66 years old and I find your classes to be a perfect blend of moves for waking up my body. I love Pilates and Yoga as well. Keep up the good work. I look forward to more of your classes.
Besides being a great quick workout for a break from work and sitting at my desk - I also find that you are one of the best Pilates instructors on UA-cam!! You so thoroughly explain every movement, how the body/core should be positioned and especially breathing technique. I love it, and I’m so glad I found your channel!! I envy those lucky Londoners who can take a full live class! Thanks for your videos!! 🙂🙏👍✌️
I came across your video by accident, or I've got a guardian angel guiding me. I did pilates for many years, many years ago. I am now so stiff and have very poor balance, but I will be joining you daily and looking forward to improvement. Thank you for doing these sessions.
Than you Rachel. I am 68, overweight with a knee replacement so kneeling isn’t always a good option. I love your standing classes. I need to improve my balance too and I think your videos will really help. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Kathy< i really appreciate yo sharing your story and trusting in my teaching. Take care, Rachel😊
Love this Rachel thank you for sharing❤️I am Peggy and have been watching you for about a week and doing the Pilates with you. I love it because I will soon be 66yrs. Young and this is perfect for us seniors❤️It keeps our bodies going so thanks again and God Bless❤️✝️
Thank you for these standing routines. Arthritis makes it difficult to be on the floor. I am really enjoying these standing routines
Thank you for explaining that you do not do any other exercise, other than Pilates! This gives up all hope! :-D xx
Thank you so much for your wonderful Pilates class. I’d given up completely as I was doing really badly in a class in my area and had no confidence to go back. Just starting your 10 min beginners session has got me back on track. Thank you! Francine
Thank you Rachel you are a life saver,your pilates sessions do wonders for our bodies and our mental health x x ❤
Just done my first live workout. Found it tough but good. Only found you a few weeks ago and do one of your workouts
at least 3 times a week. Loving them and the big improvement is in my balance for which I am seriously grateful. Thanks and see you live again soon. Mary from Preston.
Wow, Pilates always amazes me.
Thank you Rachel. I had major heart surgery in October and was attending the Cardiac Rehab Gym. I got half way through when the lockdown began and we had to stop. But your classes have been fantastic and a bonus has been that I now have a husband who previously wouldn’t have gone near a Pilates class doing your exercises for his back. Many, many thanks.
This one is really good, enjoy all your Good Morning Pilates. I change your program every week.
These are by far and away the very best pilates videos, I've ever viewed. I've suffered with a back issue for years and never really got the hang of Pilates despite watching tons of videos. Your explanation and pace of these workouts are excellent, please keep uploading. (I wish I lived near Chiswick or you lived near Chester!)
Dear Claire, Thank you so much for your comments, I am thrilled to hear that my Pilates videos are working for you, and that my explanation and pace are helpful. It's always difficult to know when filming if what I'm doing is working so I do very much appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the boost, and I do plan to film and upload more in the near future so keep an eye out. Don't forget that our bodies benefit from consistent exercise so try and do one of these videos 2/3 times a week and you'll really start to feel the difference within 6 weeks or so. Sorry I don't live closer to Chester but who knows I may visit if I get enough requests to teach there! Keep going Claire and stay in touch, best wishes, Rachel
Excellent for a quick workout.
thank you so much for these standing videos they are a part of my morning routine, have been since the start of the lockdown, on my journey of self care, been a long time comin', i can see my 62 year old chubby weary old body slowly toning day by day, like they say when the student is ready the teacher appears
I truly enjoy your exercices and have noticed a great improvement in my balance. Thank you Rachel.🤩
Just watched this, and it looks good! I'm going to give it a try later as I want 10 min workouts to try every day. I'd like to build a routine for myself to become a good habit. I'm 76, and I want to maintain my good posture and gain flexibility and a toned body going forward. Thank you 😊
I just found your videos over the last few weeks while looking for some gentle exercises to do while staying at home. I love love love the standing ones. I had to give up my pilates classes a couple of years ago because of vertigo/dizziness. I was worried about getting sick or lighted during a class. Again, That You🥰
Hi Marion, totally agree with your comments. I also had to give up the pilates classes as it made me feel nauseous after the class. These standing classes are very good. Take care. Jenny
Thanks Rachel!
Really enjoying the standing Pilates, I’m 66 next week and intermittently troubled by sciatica/tightness of piriformis area after tripping and hurting myself a couple of years ago. I find the exercises very helpful and effective. Thank you.
I love your standing pilates videos and I've been doing this one every morning! I hope you upload part 2 soon. I have spine and neck problems so standing workouts are the best and most comfortable for me. I also find your videos very relaxing as there's no upbeat music behind. Thank you, keep the good work! x
Thank you very much for your comments, so kind of you. It's good to get feedback and know that I am delivering what you need. I will get the Standing Workout Part 2 on the channel next week. Sorry for the delay! Keep going with this one, and thanks for your encouragement. I'm really glad the videos help you relax as well as helping your spine and neck. Well done for doing it every morning, excellent work! Have a fabulous day, best wishes, Rachel x
Hi Rachel have now done a few of your classes, like the other lady with arthritis, standing classes are the best, and have done one of your chair classes too. I am the 76 year old who sent you a message last week. All the best, looking forward to doing more of your classes. Merryl
Thanks Rachel ! I am really enjoying your workout! Never did pilates before !
Thank You for this! It's been a wonderful ten minutes!
You're so welcome! 🤗
Thanks Rachel I now have a few of your videos in my library
Thank you Rachel! Your classes are perfect for those who find floor work uncomfortable and suffer pain for a time afterwards. Your instruction is very good and very clear and I can feel the benefit from doing these Pilates movements. I like that they are fairly short so you can fit them in between housework or other things and you can repeat or find a couple of other standing short ones if you want a longer session. Just perfect. Genius. Thank you 🙏. Stay safe and well. Xxx
Hi thank you so much for your classes. I love the standing classes. I have fibromyalgia and I cannot do long classes because the pain gets to bad. My shoulders are very sensitive for exercises and quickly turns into a migraine. But I find your 10-15 min just enough to not overdo it and I still have done something! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us for free. It is much appreciated 🌸🌸🌸
wonderful every work time is different
So lovely!! Great for balance and posture. You are a role model!!
Please do more slow, standing workouts like this. Due to upper back and neck issues, I cannot do any type of strengthing exercise on the floor. I also have to do slower workouts where I stay really concious of my movements. I've only found a handful of good standing Pilates videos on UA-cam that I can use so it is nice to have this new one to add to my workouts. Thank you so much!
Hello Aleia, thank you for your message. Sorry to hear about your upper back and neck issues, I'm glad this workout helps you and I have made a note to do more. I have quite a few standing ones on the channel now so do please have a try of them and see how you go. Sending you my best wishes, Rachel
Wow! I’ve been looking for a way to work out. In a truck driver it’s hard to get to the gym. I am going to do this every chance I get! Thanks so much!
Hello Zandron, that's great to hear. Driving a truck is a tough job and hard on the back so this is an ideal form of exercise to ease the back, stretch the legs and build core strength. The standing workouts are particularly good for you so keep going, and well done for getting started! Rachel
So happy to have found you. I did pilates on and off for a long time. I am 67 now and I needed something more geared to my different body now. Thanks .... will be following you from now on♥️
Thank you, so much. I really like your videos, Rachel. I am a fitness instructor, but at the moment am not doing anything due to an injury :( However, I have done a few simple pilates exercises, and am so grateful to you.
Hi Sarah, sorry to hear about your injury, I can imagine that’s really tough for you when you’re a fitness instructor. So pleased my pilates videos are working for you. It’s a great way to exercise gently when you’re recovering from injury or illness. Wishing you a speedy recovery 😊
Great for a short and sweet routine whilst on holiday in the heat 👌 thankyou x
Thank you for the standing exerisce Racheal.I enjoy these standing exerisce ,from Josephine Russell ,from St.Louis,Missouri
You inspire me everytime I workout with you. Thank you SO much, Rachael !
I really like your 10 minute standing pilates classes. Thanks!
Excellent class , thanks
Thank you for this video. I am recovering from post concussion syndrome during this pandemic which means I have to be very gentle with how I move my head and how quickly or how much I move my body and this is exactly what I was looking for in order to help me slowly build my body strength again. Thank you so much for creating these standing up videos. I look forward to trying more of them out.
Thank you Rachel for this one specifically. ❤
This is a great one for first thing before sitting at my desk - done it a few times now - thanks
Thank you Rachel just a week in and enjoying your classes so much
Hi Dolores, that is so good to hear. What a difference a week can make. Keep up the great work ! 😊
Thank you for this very helpful pilates and abs workout. Your instructions and movements are easy to follow and I always feel better after each workout!
Great workout for a busy day. Have a lovely day Rachel and thanks for all your hard work. I’m doing at least one exercise video a day now.❤️

great yet different kind of exercise but may I say your microphone doesn't pick your voice up well, even though my volume is totally turned up. Thanks for introducing me to pilates.
It’s 100 F in the states and just enjoyed this workout in the AC xx
Wow, 100c! So glad to hear you got a great workout in using the AC to help you through. Well done! Stay cool 😊
Just discovered you here as I wanted pilates exercises for my back as recommended by my doctor. Love your videos so far, this is my second one and that you're also in the UK.
Hello Eruvwu, Great to hear you're on your second workout, and yes I'm a Brit, currently based in London but I make occasional appearances in Brighton too. Glad you're enjoying the workouts, keep going. Best wishes, Rachel ☺️
Luv-Luv-Luv your classes Rachel 💓. First time I’ve been doing Pilates....and started your classes mid Covid 19. They have helped my balance & co ordination sooo much! Wish I’d known about you sooner. 💌
Super, loved this class. Thank you......
Just found you today and I am sooo happy.. Thank you for the standing workout routines and I look forward to trying all of your videos.

Rachel
Even if I have to go out somewhere and do not have much time I can make time for a 10 mins standing Pilates.
This was nice to do before dinner. Thank you.
This is brilliant thank you!! Really easy to quickly get to when baby napping and feel great after 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love your classes and the way you present them. Did you say that we can email you a question? Thank you so much! ;)
Much enjoyed, def help my back😊
From Chile, excellent classes Rachel
Xlent, again many thanks.
i am definitely a fan of these workouts and i like your approach. The sound quality was a bit poor on this one - you sounded as if you were in a hall and even my volume up its was quite quiet.
Hello Richard, Thanks very much for your message and feedback, I'm really glad you like the workouts and my approach to teaching. You are absolutely right, the sound is not as good on this one, we had a problem with the microphone I was using which I have since changed. One of those tech issues we had no control over. Glad it was still just about audible for you and thanks for watching. your continued support is most appreciated.
