Standing Pilates for Seniors to Improve, Balance, Strength and Coordination | 30 Mins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2022
- Join me for a 30 Minute standing pilates workout for Seniors. This is a full body routine to improve mobility, flexibility, balance, strength and coordination with exercises to ease the general aches & pains in the joints and spine that come with age, as well as exercises to help combat loss of muscle strength and flexibility. The saying 'use it or lose it' is so true! Doing these exercises regularly will improve all these things and builds your strength so I am recommending you work towards doing this workout at least twice a week. I've taught these exercises to my Senior clients ifor many years and I have seen first hand the difference they can make to your wellbeing. So join me, take your time and do what you can, if anything is too challenging for you right now, don't worry, just rest and come back and try again when you're ready. Please have a chair handy as we will do some new work with a chair also.
The session will be followed by a Q & A where from the comfort of your own home you can ask me questions, or just say hello, you can ask me anything!
If you click the Bell icon above you'll get a reminder when I'm about to go live and you'll see a chat window come up where you can send me any questions or dedications for your friends, family or for you. I love to chat so don't be shy and get involved, it's a lovely way to meet people from across the globe without leaving home. You can also make a donation for the class if you want to support me but there is no obligation as I am happy to do this for you.
Please tell all your friends, and relatives, and let's see if we can bring together Seniors from all over the world to bring some cheer, some fun and some feelgood movement.

Stay safe, stay well and enjoy every moment of this day,
Take care, Rachel x

Rachel please don’t take off those first early videos. They are part of a shared journey. They are honest and friendly with sound content and clear instructions. It’s not about slickness and style, Rachel. We love your workouts whatever colour your hair or however small your studio. I hope you get to read this.
Ah that’s so lovely of you to say that, thank you Corinna ❤️ I will absolutely keep all the old videos on. Thanks so much for your support and how wonderful that we’ve shared this journey over the last two years. Here’s to many more years of fun to come ❤️🤗xx
Love, love, love this! I’m just short of being 55+ but this was just what I needed. Long Covid and the menopause have had me feeling a bit low but this made me feel much more positive about myself. I’ve fallen out of love with my body just lately as I’ve felt it just keeps letting me down, but your positivity and excellent teaching has made me realise I’m not quite as decrepit as I thought and I managed almost all of the balances, just a few wobbles here and there, but no complete collapses 🥳 thank you for being so nice and kind and encouraging 😊
Thank you for this - and please don’t remove the old videos - not about how you looked - you look amazing in every one! More about your values , your precise instructions, and the basics that resonated then and still do today ! So please leave them on Rachel. Your online journey is an inspiration to us as it also reminds those of us who have been you from the beginning of the pandemic, how we loved doing those lives with you ( I always laugh at your comment about those pesky people at you tube😂)
Thanks again for all you do. Love always sangeeta
Thx beau7
I completely agree.
Thank you again❣️You are Amazing💕
Really enjoyed thanks
I will be 64 this month and love being a senior!!👍🤩
שיעור נפלא . תודה רבה. את מורה נהדת
Rachel you are amazing. ❤❤❤
Thanks, Rachel!
Thank You! 😊
I think you should keep the old videos. I marvel at your journey. Thank you for acknowledging our July 4th Holiday…I really thought that was wonderful and gracious. I’m in my 40s and enjoyed the workout.
Love love love you are just what I need I’m 51 and on my health journey God bless you
Amazing Welcome to the channel Harlene 🤗 It's going to be a great year for you 😊
Racheal: It’s Nov. 6,2022: Your class for seniors is perfect! I had brain surgery >. Your classes for balance and brain work. There is no one else like you! When I was younger I took ballet! I am 77 and did marathons too. Love you ! As soon as I can I want to send. Money
Hi ...Lots of love and big thanx from South Africa...
Thanks! ❤🎉 So grateful for you.
Thank you so much ! Really appreciate the donation and I’m so glad you enjoy pilates with me. Have a lovely day 😘😊
Very good work out. For me.
So pleased you enjoyed it 😊
I have been doing your videos for the past month or so. At age 68, I find them very helpful. I try to do beginners ones. It would be nice to do some live classes. I'm going to try to figure out how to do that. It's very nice, though, to have so many past options for when I have time. Thanks so much for doing this for all of us! BTW, I'm from Ohio in the US. Love your accent! 😊
Work out with clear instructions, I really need to work on my balance though. Thank you
You're so welcome!
I added a comment. My name is Jay, A lady! 77. I had brain surgery a few years ago. My balance and brain work for the rest of my life, right with you!!
I like everything about what you do for us. Thank you. Irene❤
You’re welcome, thank you so much 😊
Thank you. I love how these smaller slower movements are surprisingly challenging.
Another great class..thank you Rachel 🥰
Your old videos are great ,you’ve just changed physically related to Pilate, it’s evident that you’ve worked very hard, very inspiring Rachel and I’m so happy for you.
Thank you. Love the classes.
Wonderful class as usual! Thanks very much Rachel 🌺
Thank you Rachel; as usual, an excellent routine.
When I first started i couldn’t do most of these exercises! Now few weeks later I can do all of them with some difficulties! Thank you so much for your encouragement!!! Further more I am a senior in my seventies in Canada!
Thank you so much Rachel.

Wonderful ! I managed with balance better than expected ! Challenging but beneficial 🙏

Thanks 🙏
Dear Rachel, I‘m 83 now and have been enjoying your videos since covid has prevented visiting the gym. Love the way you build up the sessions, how you show the exercises and the way you encourage us oldies! Lots of thanks and love from Zürich! Lilian
I enjoyed this exercise. Thank you. Many blessings to you.
Grateful! The 30 minutes went by quickly and it was perfectly challenging and strengthening.
Thanks! I so enjoy your fun and challenging workouts, Rachel!!! You are a blessing!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you Nelly 🤗🤗
You classes are always pushing me beyond what I thought I could do!! Absolutely fantastic! I am weaker on the left side. Thanks to your instruction you are helping me to be in a really great place in body mind and spirit!!
Thank you Rachel another great class. Issues with fibro and osteo and Pilates has been wonderful for my issues.❤️
Finally set time aside to get my pilates in. This was really challenging, especially the opposite arm rotation, my brain was working too....lol. Balance and coordination is a challenge for me at the moment, so I needed assistance with a chair. But I got to the end. Thank you Rachel. This was a good change up for me.
Thank you. 👍
Thank you.💓 I really enjoyed that Rachel .MY balance is getting better and better b/c of your pilates.
so fantastic to integrate cross the midline and opposite rotation coordination work. Could not join in July due to a cracked kneecap. Recovered and so pleased to rejoin the standing and leg and balance work. P.S. you are so fit, an inspiration to the recovery process. Yes, I am 73 and enjoy all levels of your workouts. Cheers!
Thank you so much Rachel! Love your workouts! I'm starting to feel myself again after having to transfer and giving up my beloved Pilates classes.
Wonderful workout! I'm 67 and though it was a bit challenging I still managed to do it, even though not perfectly...I am noticing muscles I've forgotten long ago and seeing them wake up! Thank you!
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for supporting me Donna 😊🌟
Really enjoy this session. My balance is certainly improving. Thank you. 😊
Managed two of your classes this morning . I shall definitely be joining your senior workouts at 73 I guess I qualify. You certainly don’t look in your 50’s. Your Pilates must work.
There are several older videos I do almost daily. I prefer you keep them on if you can. I love them, and they work well for me. The content is solid and I absolutely love these older videos as much as the newer ones. And thanks for asking us.
Just did this one and I loved it. Didn't hurt my stenosis much and felt like a strength workout..Thanks for all you do. Please leave your old videos on. I use them and love them..
I’m 75, just love your senior workouts !
Hi Rachel, always enjoy all your videos…. For I am always learning something new !!
I am so glad that you are keeping all your older videos on for it was from a journey that I started with you when Covid started.
I am always going back through them and doing them as I see fit for the day and how I am feeling.
Thankyou so very much 🥰
Thanks Rachel. Great work out as all your classes. Adhering to other comments, please keep all your videos, old and new, your classes are outstanding. Thanks for all your effort to deliver such professional classes around the world 😍
Rachel, thank you for acknowledging the importance of focusing on the brain and doing so in these exercises and others. Loved this workout. Very energizing and yet relaxing! Thanks for helping us to keep strong and joyful as we age.
Love all the diagonal work in this video. Quite challenging, but I think it's because I don't do diagonal often. Still hanging in here with Rachel, even though I am back to live classes. Your active feedback is excellent.
Thank you Rachel. Loved this workout. I prefer the standing routines, and I like the variety of intensities of the standing routines. Some days I really like the more gentle workouts. Many thanks for this.
Great workout!!
Hi. I am Sim from USA. I wanted to drop a line that I have being diligently using your past videos like this over and over again for my daily routine of 30 minutes exercise , if I could. I find your exercise so comfortable and easy to adhere, after doing it for the past two years without being a subscriber. However, last year I sprained my arms so terrible that I could not use my arm. It was during my Lisbon and Porto and the El Camino trip. But since the routine was in my brain, I went under the hot shower and used some movements that I had practiced. This had forced my arm to have some movement. Miraculously, it took another week after I came back to to fully recover. At the end of the trip, I went to Brighton, together with my husband, for a one day trip, and hoping to see you on the street. It was a rainy day, but at least I have visited Brighton. I love the place. Anyway, if I were to go again, I would asked around. Going back. we met a very nice gentleman on the train, had a great conversation with him and I told him about you. He is from Brighton. I hope your name do spread around. Thanks.
Another one to add to my saved videos... only do standing pilates for seniors , so this is a valuable addition.
Loved this one Rachel, thank you as always 🙏💕🌼happy Wednesday to you x
I love your workouts! Thanks so much for all you do and your wonderful and clear presentations.
We do most of your standing routines - I can’t easily get up and down from a mat. We like the older ones as well as the new ones. The 10 and 15 minute ones are especially useful for busy mornings. Thanks for all you do.
I am 83 and I feel great doing Pilates. Thank you Rachel👍
I’m 68 on Sunday, that was a little bit of a challenge, but it was great! Thank you Rachel x
👍 I was in a very small hotel room but still managed to do these exercises, thank you x
I’m 75, just love your workouts!
Whoa my balance is being challenge truly this is my January Pilate challenge, thanks Rachel
I can't believe you're over 55! You look amazing and keep me motivated. First time doing this class - each time you do a new one I find new muscles I didn't know I had. I am finding that having done your classes for a couple of years now that my left hand side is catching up with my right with regard to balance and co-ordination so thank you! I aim to do a class every day even if it is only 10/15 minutes.
Thank you 😍
Another great video for us Seniors Rachel thank you so much. Need to work on my coordination though 😀🤞. I think you should keep your old videos I started with them it nice to go back there sometimes and I can see how I have gone forward with you. You are a kind and thoughtful person 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌼🌻
Great set!
Good Day Rachel: Thank you for sharing all your good ingredients to bless us with good health. Stay well and thank you for gifting us with the feel good state of mind. Leave the old videos please! 🙂
Thank you for all your programme are a help to me greatly. God bless you indeed. Am able to move with little or no pains in my knees.
Rachel that was fabulous love it love love it ..I am 69 a arthritis in the left knee but managed it was great..thank you for taking care of us..Veronica..Canada
I enjoy this workout Thank you ❤😊
Thank you Rachael. I have missed your videos because i just had a knee replacement. I am four weeks into recovery now so I modified this very much! But it felt so good to move with you again. I hope you are not going to remove any of the older videos as I rely on those quite a lot, or have done. They are great routines to follow.
Thank you so much
I totally love this workout. I am very proud of myself, I just wobbled a couple of times, but I feel very energized after this work out, I am 73 yrs young.
I love this workout. Thank you. I find lying down to workout a bother.
Oooh that was good Rachel. I found you just after lockdown. You are my Pilates guru! You’ve got me thru a knee replacement and now Bariatric surgery. Thanks for being brilliantly fantastic 😊
Love this workout. I really need the balance work . I have a curvature in my spine but meds. are helping. Thank You for all you do. Please keep the old videos !!!!!!
Hi Rachel really liked this video, and you look fantastic, also I do look back on your old videos, you are a great instructor,thank you for always been so positive 👏
Great videos, especially when in recovery. I didn't realise how bad my balance had become since I gave up 2 years ago! Thank you.😃
Great work out thank you
Love this. At 73, I need to work on balance versus aerobic which I've been doing for years. Thank you.
Love this and have added it to my 'Rachel favourites'! I'm going on a cruise at the end of October, with very limited WiFi, so am jotting down lots of exercises to keep myself going. You are an inspiration to this oldie. Thanks again. Linda (Teresa de Cofrentes). ☺️
Wonderful! What a great idea Linda! I hope you have a wonderful time. Join me Monday if you can for my next NEW Seniors workout! Take care and have a lovely day 🤗
Buongiorno Rachel, It was lovely to do this workout in balcony this morning! Even If it's holiday, I will keep My routine to do to feel better in My back and balance. Many greetings from the city of Milan! 🍓🧸🌹🛍️❣️
Loved it. 😊
