The problem with most Pilates beginner workouts is they’re longer, and the problem with that is as a beginner, you don’t have the necessary endurance to comfortably do the entire workout. But I didn’t find that with this video. I think this is the best and truest beginner Pilates workout I’ve found. Thank you.
Looking for beginner pilates I found this. This is the first time I like pilates. I've done it before but my body would hurt too much so I gave up. This is the first time someone explained everything so well without any distracting background noise or music. Thank you for this gift ❤️.
Thank you! I just started today and enjoyed, have never done anything like this before so it was difficult at 208 lbs, but I still enjoyed and will continue on my journey with you!
Thank you so much! I deal with anxiety and depression and am working on getting back into some kind of exercise every day, no matter how little. So tired today, but didn't want to give up, just wanted 10 minutes of Pilates. This was perfect and I feel much better than I did before my mini-workout. I really needed that. 💜
Jessica thank you SO MUCH for doing these videos! I spent 5 weeks in intensive care and came out with serious muscle wastage and 8 months on still need a stick to walk. While I've been getting physio I wanted to try something at home and find these short videos are perfect! I've been doing them for about a week now and already feel better. Please keep them coming! X
This is what all introduction videos should be like. I've done two 30-day yoga challenges along with every other day doing HITT, Pilates and meditation since mid Dec, but you explained it so well and that this was missing from the others. I'm definitely going to go through all your Pilates beginners videos. Definitely subscribing 🧘😁🐾💯
Wow Jessica. This is wonderful. We can tell you actually CARE about Pilates and you’re not just selling it. Too many people are doing that. Lovely, safe and professional. Amazing. Namaste my friend
I've tried pilates multiple times but never liked it. Somehow I still always loved the thought of myself doing pilates. This was the first time ever that I did enjoy Pilates! So thank you very much for this video! Will definately come back for more
I’m a pilates instructor. I’ve lost my job due to the mandates 😔 I fell off my pilates wagon a bit over covid.. I have to say I absolute love your videos. Your cueing and style of teaching is so wonderful and thorough. I love checking out other instructions online.. thank you xxx
i barely workout but i want to start being more active and as someone who isn't very energetic i think this will be a great starting point while i gain more strength and energy. thank you so much for this
Thank you so very much for allowing me the honor to join you in your beautiful practice. A little about me. In in my early 40s , used to live a very clean and active lifestyle. However, because my biological mother ( I was adopted so it's not her ) abused her body and passed me Liver disease at birth . And regardless of living a healthy active lifestyle . It caught up with me in my 40s . So , here I am with advanced stage cirrhosis of the liver waiting as patiently and as positively as I possibly can to get on the transplant list. A new liver is the only way that I am going to survive. So , I'm dependent on government assistance ( because I can't afford a liver transplant out of my own pocket ) My strength and ability has declined. However , with all that being said I'm still trying to do as much as I can. So I decided to return to pilots. In hopes that it will give me the strength to make it through . I stumbled upon you and here I am , starting with you . Thank you so much and Namaste 🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻❤️🩹❣️
I watch these videos a couple times a week to learn about good form and other Pilates basics. Super helpful and clear, and Jessica has such a nice, calm, friendly teaching technique! Anybody learning Pilates should watch these on the regular.
I just found your channel today and subscribed. I'm 65 and I have an Ileostomy which comes with it's own health challenges so I am trying to be fit, strong and flexible enough to stay well. I was surprised by how little movement I have when isolating my legs. Clearly it's going to take some work and time for that to improve. Thank you
Thank you! I just started my first workout 01/12/22. I’ve had 2 back surgeries, one 10 months ago, both knees replaced, and have osteoarthritis throughout all my body. My spinal surgeon recommended I start on Pilates today,
I’ve been trying to ohych myself up for getting back into excercise. It was this video or another 24 minutes. I did the beginning Pilates because it was only 17 minutes. I feel just wonderful, subscribed and will continue as you have wonderful content. I cannot thank you enough.
Thank you…I’m new to Pilates and 5 weeks out of a total hip replacement. I understand my restrictions and limitations… your workout fits nicely with my regular physio. Looking forward to getting stronger and doing more Pilates with your vid’s!
Thank you Jessica, I felt safe and secure starting my first workout with you! The body feels good. Can’t wait to do more tomorrow if this is how good and calm I feel.❤
Yes! THANK YOU for actually explaining the little micro steps along the way. It forced me to PAY ATTENTION to my body and how it's moving, rather than just trying to power through something
I so appreciate this series, adjusting to “change” altered my fitness journey but I have returned to Pilates and it has always been good for my body irrespective of physical changes.
A very reassuring, informative workout - thank you! I had a stroke three years ago and have not had the ability to regularly exercise until now. I don’t have the confidence yet to join a Pilates class, so I’m very pleased to have found your channel.
I loved this really helped my back I’m a breastfeeding mother and nursing has really messed with my back. after doing this my back feels relaxed ! Amazing ! Thank you and great instruction! ❤
Like everyone else is saying thank you❤ I’ve been trying to get into Pilates for years but always hated it because videos are waaaay to challenging for beginners, but you actually made it fun and energizing
🪴I’m so glad I found you Jessica. As a beginner to Pilates and regular exercise, the detailed and clear way you describe the movements gives me confidence in knowing that I’m doing it right 🙏 Thank you for making these videos, and also making them easy access for us all. 💕
This was wonderful. Thank you. The movements reminded me of my childhood dance school, we were doing things like this for 40 minutes a couple of times each week before doing ballet lessons.
Thank you for this! I love that it’s short - as a mom it’s easier for me to find 10 min and actually do something rather than feel guilty and bad that I can’t do 30 minutes workout… returning to Pilates and loving this intro exercises 🫶
Great workout and explanations. Thanks! This gentle easy workout is what I need to help my body heal after being weak and out of shape while I am still healing from car accident almost two years ago. Looking forward to getting stronger every day!
I get it now! Started with random videos a few weeks ago and am definitely feeling stronger but was unaware I was doing some of the movements incorrectly. Thank you so so much for the additional instruction. ❤
Fabulous instruction and explanation as to why to do something a certain way. I have a very tiny knowledge of Pilates and just searched beginners Pilates on UA-cam. Many of them did not give the very careful and in depth instruction that you did and I felt people would more likely do themselves an injury rather than do themselves good. I’m so glad I found your channel and feel confident that you are giving the very best instruction possible. You’re amazing. Thank you so much.
This is better than the other beginner video I found in which the instructor was mute, wearing almost no clothes doing Pilates at some resort swimming pool. Her muteness and “perfect” fashion model appearance left me nervous…LOL. Thanks for talking, explaining and empowering us beginners.
i’m trying to loose weight for the new school year and i’m hoping to try keeping it up. I tried pilates with my sister a few years ago when i hated anything to do with exercise and i gave up about 2 minutes in. But now i’m gonna put in all my effort and try to loose 2 lbs. Great work out, i feel motivated to do more now :)
I really enjoyed this today, I’ve tried several of your videos now and this is definitely something I need in my life. I do some weight training and walking but having fibromyalgia so I need to stretch out the body more. I already do mobility before and after my sessions but this seems even better mobility work. Thank you Jessica 🙌❤️
I’m not able to get up and down on the floor because I have bilateral total knee replacements. Can I use the bed for modifying these exercises? Will they be as effective, as if done on the floor?
I recently found thus video and it made me love doing pilates But I always wondered if I should do the same workout everyday or different workouts on different days. And also if it would help in weight lose I hoped that someone can help me with this.. please
This is so great! This is probably all I should be doing in a day anyways. With fibromyalgia, it’s so tricky and it seems like the work-outs that are longer than 10 or 15 minutes, hurts me for two days or more after. Thank-you so much for this Jessica!
Thank you very much just started today . Trying to get back into fitness after my knee operation. I'm not sure but I think this type of work out is not too hard on the knees
This is great. I’d love a video dedicated to doing Pilates with knee problems. I have EDS and both knees struggle but I’d love a challenging workout that’s extra gentle on the knees.
I agree! So helpful in such a short time frame. I’ve been so interested in Pilates and this is the first time I’ve done one and didn’t feel totally lost.
Thanks Jessica, very well explained and at a pace I could comfortably follow. Was actually looking for tai chi but got confused and searched for Pilates. As a retired gent in my early 70s with a couple of extra lockdown stone I decided it was time to get active again. Just finished the first of the 10 minute beginner workouts. Found it a bit difficult but got there in end, feeling a bit stiff and achy but will continue with the program.
Wow! what an adventure to search and find this video and then move with it. Been years since I have tried video exercise. Really appreciate your competence, kindness, and wisdom. Feels great and inspiring/empowering! Thank you!!
Loved this video - it was a great way to return to Pilates after a long break. The instructions were clear, the combination of moves helped all areas of my body. Thank you!
First time trying this and must say really enjoyed doing this and 10 minutes went so quickly! Felt like only a few minutes thank you so much for sharing 👏👏👏👏🙏🏻
When coming back up from rolling your spine (on the last exercise) is it okay to lift your feet a little to get yourself up? I struggle to get up but maybe I should try the towel technique :)
Thank you for your great instruction. Vertebra is singular & vetebrae is plural so it is more correct to say roll up vertebra by vertebra, not vertebrae by vertebrae. I hope tht helps & thank you again for sharing Pilates!
This was a wonderful experience! I am so glad I discovered your channel. I could have never imagined that I would be able to do that final pose but I actually managed?! Haha, thank you so much.
The rolled towel is a great tip. I was actually able to do the roll up just now when it otherwise didn’t seem possible that my body was strong enough to accomplish this exercise🌹!
I love your channel. Im so thankful that my husband for you. I had an old DVD i used and it finally came apart app he found you. I love your technics and how calm you are and the results i see so quickly. My toddeler daughter tries to do my workouts with me so do you know if you or anyone else does toddeler pilates or if there's a safe parent-child workout you could do?
My toddler always joins me! I just let him crawl and play and have fun around and with me without specifically guiding much. At that age letting them see you workout and letting them be a part of it is great!

How are you doing it'd been 11 months ?
The way those 10 mins just ENERGIZED me?? Wow
That is so powerful! We love workouts like this
💕

Thank you was my second time doing Pilates. I'm starting slow but I feel that it help with stiff muscles and you explain it so well as.Thank you.
Thank you! It’s my first time trying Pilates in 20 years. An approachable and accessible starting point.
Thanks you! Every time I've tried pilates it has been too difficult, but this was great.
First Pilates workout after my first MS flare up. Thank you, perfect for restarting and building strength.
This was wonderful. Thank you. The movements reminded me of my childhood dance school, we were doing things like this for 40 minutes a couple of times each week before doing ballet lessons.
Quick and challenging yet soothing for my spine! Thank you Jessica.

Perfect "Gateway Exercise"
Thank you

I have not done Pilates in years - this was a great first step back into it.
First timer your a great teacher you explain things well where I'm not constantly looking at my phone making sure I'm doing something right... thank u
Thanks so much Jessica! Your videos are very well explained and well timed for a beginner like me!
Your video is just perfect for beginners, thank you!
I’m not able to get up and down on the floor because I have bilateral total knee replacements. Can I use the bed for modifying these exercises? Will they be as effective, as if done on the floor?
Thank you so much, I've been trying to get motivated to get back into shape and this is a fantastic starting place
Thank you for this. This was my first workout in 2 1/2 years. Much love from Norway❤️
I just started this workout today. I enjoy it. Will be doing it again tomorrow. Thank you.
Hey I just did this workout after my 20 min cardio n love it ❤️ it’s calming❤
the positivity was so wonderful.
Used this as a warmup this morning and it was just what I needed! Thank you 💚

I loved it! I’ve been meaning to get into Pilates and I just love the way you explain thoroughly everything. I’ll be back!
Wow, that was great. That stretched my back in all the areas that I always try to stretch but don’t reach 😂
Great!
Thank you very much just started today . Trying to get back into fitness after my knee operation. I'm not sure but I think this type of work out is not too hard on the knees
I really loved this! Thank you for creating short videos for busy people!
This is great. I’d love a video dedicated to doing Pilates with knee problems. I have EDS and both knees struggle but I’d love a challenging workout that’s extra gentle on the knees.
What is eds
@@dorothymesser671 it’s a connective tissue disorder that’s makes exercising difficult :)
Thank you. Pilates beginner and this is perfect. I love your style of delivery, very informative and fun !
This is BRILLIANT! Exactly what I was looking for. I look forward to completing this 10-day workout series.
Really enjoyed this as a starting point. Great teaching instructions. Relaxed, encouraging and easy to follow. Thank you!
I agree! So helpful in such a short time frame. I’ve been so interested in Pilates and this is the first time I’ve done one and didn’t feel totally lost.
Quick controlled and
efficient. A great way to get back to pilates gently after a break. Thank you.

I love this the time flew bye 💞
Thank you!!❤
Using this as recovery from Piriformis Syndrome & a wack SIJ. Brilliant , thanks so much!
thank you so much, i didn’t see the time pass. it felt like i did that in less than 1 minute
This was easier than I thought it would be. I'm nearly 17 weeks post spinal surgery and I didn't think I'd manage as much as I did
This was really hard for me but for some reason I loved it. It’s right where I need to be. Thank you
Loved this video - it was a great way to return to Pilates after a long break. The instructions were clear, the combination of moves helped all areas of my body. Thank you!
First time trying this and must say really enjoyed doing this and 10 minutes went so quickly! Felt like only a few minutes thank you so much for sharing 👏👏👏👏🙏🏻
Thank you. Love the idea of 10 day 10 min challenge. Challenge indeed, and looking forward to it.
Can't wait!
It’s crazy that this made my back feel so much better and so much lighter
This is a great workout for me! I just began learning Pilates and I feel great! Thank you.
Thank you, I just got started on this today, and I found it a great not too difficult beginner video. I'll continue to work with you ❤
Great little wake up for my body. Been feeling under the weather and this was just what I needed
When coming back up from rolling your spine (on the last exercise) is it okay to lift your feet a little to get yourself up? I struggle to get up but maybe I should try the towel technique :)
This is great, timely for me since I just recovered from neck and back injury. Thanks! :)
Thank you for your great instruction. Vertebra is singular & vetebrae is plural so it is more correct to say roll up vertebra by vertebra, not vertebrae by vertebrae. I hope tht helps & thank you again for sharing Pilates!
Thank you! First time in a long time I even attempted to do Pilates. 😄
Thank you Jessica so much!
This was a wonderful experience! I am so glad I discovered your channel. I could have never imagined that I would be able to do that final pose but I actually managed?! Haha, thank you so much.
The rolled towel is a great tip. I was actually able to do the roll up just now when it otherwise didn’t seem possible that my body was strong enough to accomplish this exercise🌹!
I réalité love this routine. Thanks you for the hard work.
I enjoyed this video. It's short and simple yet you feel each move.
I felt great after the workout I feel motivated to continue every day with this workout thank you for the tips I found them easy to follow and helpful
Thanks for explaining it easily. i look forward to do more of your workouts.
I love your channel. Im so thankful that my husband for you. I had an old DVD i used and it finally came apart app he found you.

Had a good start today, will have to familiarize some anatomy terms Thank you God Bless

This session certainly lifted my spirits😊
