That was great.I am a Pilates teacher not working now due to lockdown so this is great.Jess you are a fab teacher very motivational with lovely clear instructions .Thank you look forward to doing more of your classes in the future.
Thank you for explaining the moves so well. Like the rib that is flexing and not to turn your head when your hips are up, etc.... This helps me know how to properly do the exercises.
The Roll Up is definitely challenging and you are not alone in feeling this way! It is a great goal to have to work towards the full expression of the exercise. We recommend giving it a try with modifications- you'll still gaining strength and working towards your goals. You may find this tutorial helpful: ua-cam.com/video/wjbN81QqNZs/v-deo.html :)
OK, I was with you until that last lift up the hips over the head. no could do.... so disappointing. I kind of modified but didn't really do it.. Is there hope for the future for moves I cannot do?
Hi Irene! I understand it can be frustrating at times if we're not quite where we want to be. I encourage you to be patient and kind with yourself and to remember that everybody is different. For this particular exercise, it's completely okay to lift your legs up just to the point which feels good for YOU. Sometimes it helps to notice progress along the way and focus on small victories ❤️I hope that you'll keep at it and trust the process. Remember - Grace Over Guilt!
Sadly, I had back troubles yesterday (joint misalignment, already recovering from a strained ligament in the same area) and had to have an emergency chiropractor appointment, there was no way I could do these rolling exercises today (I know the irony that these are supposed to help my problems) do you have tips for exercising and helping lower back injuries when they actually flare up?
We're sorry to hear about the back pain you're experiencing, Kelly. We're so glad you're listening to your body and getting the medical care you need. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide individualized recommendations regarding injuries and/or rehabilitation. We know that every body is different and every situation is unique, so it is hard to give proper advice. We recommend speaking with your chiropractor / medical professional to determine which exercises are safe and recommended for you based on your individual needs. Back pain is especially tricky because for some focusing on strengthening and mobilizing the muscles related to the back, hips and shoulders is helpful while others may need to avoid focusing on these areas to heal. We hope your back issues resolve quickly!🌻💕
I must have some abs because I’m sitting upright, but I struggle so much with the teaser and roll ups. I’m still trying to do the exercises, even though I can’t even do the modified versions 😬. Are there any modifications for the modifications? Should I be doing these specific exercises daily to get my muscles going? Thank you :)
These are really challenging exercises and you are not alone in struggling with them. We would recommend continuing to modify whenever you need to. As you continue your journey, the full expression of these exercises are a great goal to have!
Great job getting it done, Tanu! As you continue with Pilates, know that you will only continue to build strength and make progress. In the meantime, we also encourage you to modify or only do as much/go as far as what is comfortable for you. Keep up the great work!
Just to make sure, you don't want our back glued to the mat? I thought in ovulated when we do ab/core work our back should be glued to the mat with no space?
Hi there - congratulations on completing Day 28!! 😊 More often than not you will maintain a neutral spine (where there might be a a small space under your back), but it does depend on the exercise - we encourage you to listen to cues to "maintain a neutral spine" or to "flatten your back".
Great job getting it done, Felicia! We encourage you to listen to your body, go at your own pace, and modify/skip certain exercises based on your needs and comfort level. And know that as you continue with Pilates, you will only continue to make progress and build strength. Keep up the great work! 😊

So glad to hear this, Laura!
I agree! That is why I love Robin’s Pilates videos more than any other, her speech rate is a good pace, and she’s informative.
This was great, but I couldn't do the roll ups. I just sat on my mat and watched in awe how easy it looked when you did it 😂

Woahhh I loved it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That reminder to avoid flat back and keep neutral spine really changed the target area and isolated my abs more 👍
That is so great to hear! Way to go! 👏😊
Great workout! I’ve got a couple of things to work on :-)
I'm cheering for you, Veronica! Make sure to notice your progress and celebrate small wins along the way. :)
That was tough but felt good thanks,
Well done, Cristina!
wow! this is so fresh! thank you so much, Robin!
Day 28 done! ✔️ Great ABS workout. ABS of steel loading.... 👍🔥💯😃

Burning abs 🙌🙌🙌 #30dayspilateschallenge
Phew! In the teaser I use my hips/thighs to get off the floor. I see at least a tiny improvement in my core strength, but a long way to go!
Day 28 ✨
Done day 28❤
We're so impressed with your consistency!

This was really difficult couldn't do the balance and lifting those legs to high.

I can’t even lift my chin, but it’s definitely a goal of mine
We're cheering you on! You've got this! 👏 💪

@@wearelindywell okay thank you. It just confused me because other pilates teachers seem to always say to keep the back glued to the floor.
My lower back pain made this kinda hard
