I love that you assure beginners (Im one of them) that it is okay to skip through something that is too much at the moment. I hope that in time they build the strength to do the complete workout! You can do it, I believe in you!!!
What I like the most is the fact you explain the position of each movement, as a teacher, to correct bad positions. Thank you for sharing and be there .
I ‘ve been doing your videos for 8 months now and I am so happy to add Pilates, stretching and dumbbells to my days. It has really made a difference in my energy, my balance and my sleep. I’m 57 and think this is the best health I’ve ever been in.
I'm enjoying your classes and will join the community tomorrow. Nobody could be more inspiring, with both your professional and personal life. Keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you fast healing. ☮🕉☯️
I want to say thankyou for being so encouraging to beginners of all kinds. I have hypermobility and associated chronic pain. I just graduation college and the career I want seemed like it might have become an impossible dream because of my body and the fear I had of the gym and being able to exercise and gain strength without hurting myself. I've only been following along with your videos for the past few days but it's already the most confident I've felt in my ability to actually do something and improve. I can honestly say I cried because of your encouragement. Thankyou for making these videos and making them accessable.
I’m new to Pilates & am loving this workout. I’m 56 & putting weight on my stomach & hips. After 2 weeks I am noticing a difference already and beginning to tone up. I can’t wait to try your other workouts. Thank you!!
I have been using this video and her ten minute dumbbell workout to help me come back from a four-year illness where I was essentially bedridden. I am mobile and feeling really great again. Thank you so much for these encouraging full beginner workouts! They are good for your mind as well as your body.
I just found you, and the encouragement and confidence you give....I feel it! Pilates is so Not Easy, I find weights much easier, so I think Pilates builds strength in a different way. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you Jecissa for helping me/us feeling so much better physically, mentally, psychologicaly about myself/ourselves.Truly, it is a wonder what can exercicing and being more self-conscious about our self//our bodies can do.. Merci de Provence Avignon (France)💕💕💕 I am looking forwards to monthly subcription within the end of the year😊
Thank you for putting out such a great lesson. This was my first Pilates and it definitely won't be my last! As a professional massage therapist, this will give me so many benefits. I appreciate you! ❤
Thank you for all of your encouragement. You make me feel good about beginning (this is my 4th attempt at beginning Pilates) and you make everything so wonderfully accessible. I feel better already and can’t wait to see how my ability progresses with your instruction.
Just found you Jessica and I am challenging myself to do pilates every day in January... 2 days in and 100 % so far. 👍😂. I'm really enjoying your tutorials, so thank you from the UK.
Ive been doing your youtube pilates for a few months now and I can feel the benefits now. I can move easier into positions that I couldn't do before and my belly is getting flatter and firmer. Happy days!! . Im also suffering from osteoarthritis and awaiting a hip replacement so your arthritis videos are a blessing. Thank you Jessica
I loved this beginner’s Pilate workout. I love that Jessica talks you through the entire workout and even gives modified versions to help us get through it. I feel rejuvenated and more flexible after this.
I love the workout too, but for me, too much talking, especially as I like to revisit my favourite workouts frequently and the long explanations interfere with the smooth transitions. It would be good to have a version without the additional comments, just the instructions.
I am newer to Pilates after suffering a hip injury after my marathon. You are an excellent teacher for all levels involved while explanations that make sense. I love feeling stretched and strong. I hope it gets me back to running again- thanks a lot!
Jessica, Wow, I completed your work out and couldn’t believe I pulled it off. First time watching and I’m already a big fan. Ive been retired for two years now and I only walk everyday. I used to do Pilates years ago but then got into other exercises . I’m so excited to be on this journey and have you as my instructor. Your voice is so relaxing and you make this so much fun. Looking forward to checking your other videos. Thanks a bunch.
Love your videos so much they have helped me out a ton. My favorite are scoliosis videos. Are there any other stretches u would recommend for that? love you!!
Girl I am 12 minutes in and my legs are on FIRE, omg this is amazing. Thank you for making this in such a calm and affirming manner. I can't wait to see what my body can do!
I have been struggling to overcome injuries while trying to continue to workout. I have had several people recommend Pilates. I just started your videos two days ago and I am hooked. I love LOVE how patient and encouraging you are, and I especially appreciate that you are also a PT
I started your videos 2 weeks ago! Haven’t seen much difference other then my arms & stomach becoming a little more toned but I know it takes time! Im so excited to see where this journey with you takes me, your videos relax me so much with everything that’s happened recently in my life so thank you for that!
Just started doing this and absolutely ❤it. I have been exercising for 10 years now but have never been in love with my work outs.. will continue doing this...
Hi Jessica Thank you for your videos I m 63 with scoliosis degenerative discs and osteoarthritis and first started with your exercises for scoliosis now doing with the Pilates I feel so much better
I've just started watching your videos and from someone who suffers from back pain and mobility issues I find your details very beneficial. I've watched other videos and no one ever gives details with reference to knowing your body with back issues. Thank you ❣️
Thank you for the wonderful video Jessica! (I'm a Jessica as well 😁). I'm 35 and diagnosed with ddd as well as a herniated disc and spinal stenosis in my thoracic spine. I use to be a runner, but that is not a possibility in my current situation. I'm enjoying your videos and am hoping to slowly be able to return to other activities I love that I haven't been able to do for some time now.
I have been exercising with you for several years. I am now 75. I need Pilates more than ever. I so enjoy your positive outlook and of course your classes. I haven't found any classes I enjoy more.
I just checked out some of your pilates routines and I really love them ! I started this one today and I really enjoyed it ! I'll keep practicing this routine and others !
Thank you so much for this video! I'm finding all of my tight and sticking points 😆 When doing the hip circles, my hips were popping - is that tight hip flexors or creaky joints or...? Would you recommend a stretch for that? Please help! *no pain really, just the popping*
HELP....... Ok I have a left knee that I can't kneel on and right arm that is an old injury hairline break that's healed but gives me pain also right hip hurts every day, Could you please help me do exercise where I don't have to add to present injuries thankyou
Hi Jessica have just found you on you tube and would love to start this beginner Pilates class but I have a slight prolapse. Would this class be prolapse safe for me?
just starting and I am having trouble on my side. My thighs are big and feel lumpy and it is hard to balance on my side. Is this common for larger sizes?
Yayy, thank you i watched a couple beginner pilates video and this one actually felt like beginners level, I am glad I found you! Cant wait to add more pilates into my routine and have a better connection with my body
Awesome like always. I love how Jessica comes back to beginners sessions. I´ve just done this today after years as lately I´ve lost a lot of mobility and i wake up stiff in the mornings with a lower back pain. I´ve always been practising sports and never have had any issues, as i kept myself fit and always stretched. But now I´m 45 and my exercise is not as often as it used to be and i forget to stretch. I believe practising this pilates will help me get my mobility and strength back to keep doing every sport I do and stay fit. Thanks thanks thanks . I can´t wait to keep adding more of these !!
I just found your channel and Day 1 down🎉 I have had c2 to t1 fused many years ago so I cannot completely do all the movements but I am glad to do what I can today. I’ve always been very hesitant to do just “any” program so I am very excited for this new plan!!! I have chose to do your channel bc you are a PT and seem to be very aware of our physical limitations. Thank you & look forward to Day 2.
This was great, I've been doing another of your Pilates beginners workouts for a few days now and I'm so glad I found you. I can't wait for the day I'm able to do everything! I currently have to do this in my bed but that doesn't stop me! I now looking forward to getting up and doing these workouts in the morning :)
Yay, this is my place to start! I am quite "good" at cardio, but my core is inexistant. Usually even beginner Pilates workouts are too difficult for me. You are the first one I feel save with (also some Back issues) and I can really follow. Thank you so much, new fan here 😊
You have a real beautiful soul. Your kindness, compassion and encouragement really help me. Do you have a video you would suggest to really understand better about form, stacking, breathing all that kind of thing? I want to get better with that. Thank you for your help
I am trying to do exercise with making circles with one leg laying down but I can't put my leg to be straight like in the video (90 degrees to the body). My leg muscles are just to tight. Anyone knows what to do?
This is my very first time learning Pilates. I am so thrilled with your messages, thank you so much. I’m a new subscriber and I’m looking forward to strengthening my body at 54 with your instruction. 🎉
I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful and challenging offering of workouts. I have always felt non-athletic and not paid attention to my body. Now in my 50's, I hope to be my healthiest, and have started with your workouts. I am so moved by the kindness and warmth to each video. I really feel like wherever I am in my workout journey, it is ok. I've always judged myself harshly - your reminders to celebrate what is possible means so much. Thank you. Sending deep gratitude and good vibes your way.
Recently I have fell on my foot and torn my ligaments playing basketball, ever since I haven’t done any exercise and I’m so happy I tried your video out because I did my first workout in a while without risking injuring my foot. Thank you!
I'm just new here. I'm in my 50's. I'm trying to do the best for my health. Last year, I changed my patterns from nutrition, exercises, and sleeping patterns. I have been trying to do pilates for a long time now. I feel frustrated because it seems so difficult to me to do some of the exercises. I do Dumbells, resistance, and Cardio weekly. I have problems with my flexibility and mobility. My Doctor recommended pilates. My budget is tight now, I haven't been able to subscribe to pilates classes. Your video came to me as recommended, and I'm so happy. You know how to explain the principles so well. Thank you. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you for this! I'm 9 months pp and still getting back into movement, when I've truthfully never really found anything that I've enjoyed. However I've done three of your beginner videos now and I actually enjoyed them! They are proper beginner and I'm so thankful for that. Pilates fits all the things I was looking for as a new mom. Increasing strength and flexibility and continuing to heal my core. I'm looking forward to continuing your videos
I have tried several different workouts from various instructors, this was the best. Do I just pick and choose from your list or is there a proper way to continue if I wanted to do several times a week. I use the treadmill and I also have a weight routine.. but I need something to help me tone the tummy (from covid 10 pounds!). Thanks!
Hi Jessica. Thanks for the video. I feel great after exercising with you, even though a bit rusty. Here is my question, can I do these exercises in the evening, after work? Or is it better first thing in the morning? Much love and appreciation from Algeria. 💋 🌺
I used to be really active, yoga rowing and weights every other day for at least an hour. Then a few years ago started to experience a lot of pain and dislocations, was then diagnosed with EDS. I was told to stop doing pretty much any of my normal exercises until they figured out how fast I was deteriorating and how much my heart was affected (I developed tachycardia). All I was left with was walking my dog on days where the pain wasn't too bad. Finally got on the right medication and pain control, but my body has seized up from the lack of movement and pain. I've started doing this workout everyday before I take my dog on a walk to hopefully get my body comfortable moving again. I know I won't ever go back to what my body was like before the symptoms really hit, but happy I have access to something that I can do to get me back to a place where I'm happy again, even if it's going to be a long and slow journey
Love this video! You are such a great, knowlegdeable, and encouraging instructor! I am recovering from an injury- I had to completely rehab my pelvis and I love the gentle approach to starting pilates with modifications so I can build fitness.
Im a beginner 5ft 3 woman at 170lbs. Ive been trying to find something i will stick with and i want to say thank you for these videos. Im on week 3 and i try to do atleast 15 minutes 3 days a week and ive stuck to it! Sometimes i do more than 15 minutes or more days. I really enjoy palates. Ive never really worked out before but this i actually enjoy its something i look forward to! In just 3 weeks my abs feel stronger and i can feel my muscles flex more when gardening! Im excited about exercise and your part of the reason! Thank you!
I have been using your 30 day workout for prolapse...And now feel strong enough to try some of your regular videos. This one was great! I'll be trying more for sure!!
My sister got me connected with your Pilate videos. I love the variety in exercises and variious amounts of time it takes. I don’t always have a half hour but I can do something shorter and I still feel good about not skipping. Thank you .
I loved this video! I have found many others a bit discouraging if I’m not able to do a specific exercise. However I found yours very encouraging! Thank you
What a wonderful class! 💙 I just found you and the sentence, that beginners are at a special time in their life’s is fabulous!! I did lots of yoga but sometimes my back gets even worse… so I will try more Pilates from now on - and one of my closest friends in the USA has her 50. birthdays today - I will sent this link to her as kind of a present… thank you from Germany!

Hi Jessica, love your channel. Is this beginner sequence safe for osteoporosis? Christine aged 70 from Australia
You’re the sweetest person thank you so much
I’m new and I’m loving your workouts. Thank you 😊
I have a bulging disc in S1 L4 and I’m concerned about the rolling back exercises. Are they ok?
Nice workout. However, I get distracted by so much commentary. Some is ok, but not constantly
HELP....... Ok I have a left knee that I can't kneel on and right arm that is an old injury hairline break that's healed but gives me pain also right hip hurts every day,
Could you please help me do exercise where I don't have to add to present injuries thankyou
Hi Jessica have just found you on you tube and would love to start this beginner Pilates class but I have a slight prolapse. Would this class be prolapse safe for me?

The moment she said you might hear clicking noise in you hip, my hip immediately clicked 💀
Thank you Jessica, this never gets old❤
Been watching and following your videos❤
Hello! I’m new to Pilates. I need some info please. Where do I start? How do I make a schedule or plan? Like what would my day to day video look like?
Awesome like always. I love how Jessica comes back to beginners sessions. I´ve just done this today after years as lately I´ve lost a lot of mobility and i wake up stiff in the mornings with a lower back pain. I´ve always been practising sports and never have had any issues, as i kept myself fit and always stretched. But now I´m 45 and my exercise is not as often as it used to be and i forget to stretch. I believe practising this pilates will help me get my mobility and strength back to keep doing every sport I do and stay fit. Thanks thanks thanks . I can´t wait to keep adding more of these !!
I'm 66 and believe me, you want to keep your mobility. That will keep you feeling younger than anything else you can do. 😊
Are pilates and yoga same things? Anybody can tell me pls!!!!!!
Do I supposed to do chests roll up and twist with herniated disk right now?Or just skip this part?No crunches for herniated disks?
What a great video and truly helpful encouragement throughout. Thank you 🙏
I tried this for the first time today. I have had an increase in my energy levels within hours. Thank you
Great!
I can't do bridges due to a back injury. Is there another move I can do instead?
I just found your channel and Day 1 down🎉 I have had c2 to t1 fused many years ago so I cannot completely do all the movements but I am glad to do what I can today. I’ve always been very hesitant to do just “any” program so I am very excited for this new plan!!!

Im on week 3 and i try to do atleast 15 minutes 3 days a week and ive stuck to it! Sometimes i do more than 15 minutes or more days. I really enjoy palates. Ive never really worked out before but this i actually enjoy its something i look forward to! In just 3 weeks my abs feel stronger and i can feel my muscles flex more when gardening! Im excited about exercise and your part of the reason! Thank you!
I have been using your 30 day workout for prolapse...And now feel strong enough to try some of your regular videos. This one was great! I'll be trying more for sure!!
My sister got me connected with your Pilate videos. I love the variety in exercises and variious amounts of time it takes. I don’t always have a half hour but I can do something shorter and I still feel good about not skipping.
Thank you .
I just found your channel, and this first video has me hooked. I really like your style. I will be back often. :) Thank you.
I loved this video! I have found many others a bit discouraging if I’m not able to do a specific exercise. However I found yours very encouraging! Thank you
What a wonderful class! 💙 I just found you and the sentence, that beginners are at a special time in their life’s is fabulous!! I did lots of yoga but sometimes my back gets even worse… so I will try more Pilates from now on - and one of my closest friends in the USA has her 50. birthdays today - I will sent this link to her as kind of a present… thank you from Germany!
Oh my God, I'm me again. I year 15 minute workout every day. I love the beginners' classes. Thanks so much.
Thank you 🙏 ✝️😇God bless
