- how to actually GET RESULTS with a 28 Day Pilates Challenge (DON'T make these 3 mistakes!)
In this video I go over how to actually get results with a 28 day pilates challenge. I go over the 3 big mistakes that can interfere with you getting results. We go over- what "results" can mean and why it's important to have a few desired results that aren't body focused, nutrition and daily habits that have helped me on my own fitness journey, my own journey of using food to cope, and how you can get started today with doing a free 28 Day pilates challenge. My workouts are a mix of resistance training and contemporary Pilates.

I’m 58 YO and starting your program today. You’ve given more beginning info than anyone else. Excited to get started. I’m working on meditating every single day, so doing both will definitely help me take care of myself now. My goal is to drop 20 lbs and strengthen my core. It’s crazy how much muscle strength I’ve lost. So, here we go!!!
Ok this is crazy, lolll
I started meditation 1 hour every day, and my goal is to loose 20 lbs in the next couple of months❤😂
Hi what a great plan. I've been searching for something challenging to do at home. Your guidance throughout the workouts are good to follow, and as a beginner the workouts aren't that hard.
My goals ate to get fit, lose about 10 kgs and build up some strength
Hi Laneer. How have you been doing? I just found this wonderful workout I would love to find a workout buddy /accountability partner here. I am 57 y/o and need to loose at least 35 pounds.
I started this 2 days ago. I already meditate a few times per day. I’m incorporating 30 minute walks 3 times a week and hatha yoga every other day. I’m looking to drop 15lbs and tone up. Best of luck to everyone!
Heyyyyy! Here I am 55 and starting this for the same reasons! I need about 50 pounds gone, I’m walking 4-5 days a week, meditating (learning slowly) and now, I am adding this to my health repertoire!
I am 61 and started your program today. I love pilates and I love yoga and happy to have them both together! I don't have a huge budget and happy to see you offer your program free. I want to firm up my body to keep it healthy as I move forward in my career as a nurses aide.
Thanks Rachel, day 5 of doing the 28 challenge and this video is def. helping me. My goal is to be stronger for me and the people around me, is not about having a "perfect body" anymore, cause actually, what is a perfect body anyways? Just want to feel stronger and more energetic and help my mental health as well. I really appreciate your approach! And if somebody else is reading this know that you are beautiful and capable of many things. Let's strive for feeling good not for perfection.
aw lovely comment thank you for being so encouraging to others! totally agree with u, we definitely realize as we age that there is no such thing as a "perfect" body! im glad u appreciate my approach as well!
Also- THANK YOU for making this free. Very gracious of you. ❤
Hi Rachel. I am so excited for this 28 day challenge. It is much easier to stay motivated when it’s all planned out, so thank you. I have never been able to work out alone, I always needed the motivation of someone else to do it. That is one goal I have made, working out ‘with’ you as my motivator. I really appreciate that you bring other elements like stress and how to handle that, as well as the relationship with food. That’s a struggle for me, and another goal. My third goal is to feel better overall. I completed the warm up and first challenge tonight. I can’t wait for tomorrow. Thank you for being amazing!
That's so great to hear! I'm so glad you are doing a challenge and I'm glad u appreciated the other points I brought up in the video. There are so many elements that factor into us being "successful" at sticking with a workout program/health journey. Glad the video resonated with u. Thank u for your comment!
Just finished my first workout in the 28-day challenge - thanks for making this available for free. Looking forward to the rest of the journey!
Just started a challenge today but as a long-time runner and weight-lifter I still appreciate hearing your perspective and agree with what you lay out here. Plus I just feel like you radiate good vibes ❤✨ It's as much about what's happening on the outside as the inside and commitment to both is what helps you really achieve a goal that can transform you. Thank you for sharing your skills and spirit so graciously!
Aw thank u so much! I'm so glad you like my perspective. I am definitely trying to share more beyond just the workouts! Im so glad my words resonated with you:)
Hi Rachel, i just came across your video this evening and wanted to share with you how much I appreciate everything you've said in here, and you being authentic and real. I started Pilates about 20 yrs ago, and did it consistently 7 days a week (during this time i truly enjoyed it, and it was more like a form of self love/pampering). In 2010 I became certified, started teaching, and taught for 10+ years, until having a job change. Since then, (and even during) I have had a very difficult time doing any exercise/programs for any length of time due to health issues, as well as getting bored,lack of motivation and burn out. After seeing your video, and hearing your heart (rewatching it several times and in tears by the end), I've realized my goals at the completion of a 28 program includes having a healed relationship with not only food and exercise but even more so with my self image, self esteem and body. Also a healed relationship with life- re-learning that i can enjoy exercise and it can be something that i do as a way to remind myself i am worth the time and effort it takes. Please know too as i did your first video today, i was so encouraged to have a Pilates workout that was gentle enough to help with the injuries and knowing this is something that I can succeed at, that it will not just help my body to get stronger and to regain my flexibility, but that the most important things like my self worth ultimately will be changed for the better too. Thank you so much. You are a Godsent!
aw thank u so much for sharing all of that with me! im so glad u resonated so much with the video and I hope u find the workouts helpful on this journey!! keep me updated on how u are finding the challenge :)
I love that there are so many folks here who are in their 50s doing this! I'm 55 and started today. My goal is to feel stronger in my body and centered in my core every day as I age gracefully. I really appreciate your tips on how to get results, thank you!
great goals! and yes lots in their 50s for sure :)
Hi Rachel, I’m starting your videos because I have been caretaking for my parents for the past 2 years and I watch the challenges they have in their elderly years from not taking care of themselves. Over the years and ending bad relationships I have developed my own bad habits and coping mechanisms that aren’t healthy like drinking, smoking, and unhealthy comfort foods. It’s time to heal my soul and my body. Along with vegal nerve exercises, meditation, carb manager app I’m excited to add your videos to my health journey. Thank you for your compassion to help others 🥰
that's wonderful. Im so excited for you for starting this journey and I hope you find the workouts helpful and enjoyable!!
Such an authentic chat! I honestly do think following your suggestions and doing the workouts are helping me to grow more awesome and not older! 😉
Thank you Rachel!
I'm so glad you like them! thanks so much Tricia :)
Just wanted to say thank tou. Thank you for being you thank you for offering this for so many people for free. Its not easy to want to change but not to jave the funds to or the correct and positive information all in ine place. Im watching these before i start the 28 day program. Ive had a lot of weight gained and i just want to be able to do the things i love and hang out with ny pre teen. I also take care of my mom but i cant if i dont prioritize me first and with this, this will be the first step. Thank you and God bless you in all that you strive to achieve in life.
This is amazing!! Acknowledging the discomfort vs coping vs willpower. Thank you!
Thank you for not selling your videos based on changing our appearance! That’s huge for me! ❤️
I’m 50, and want to get stronger overall. I’ve spent the last 6 months focused on getting down to goal weight, and now want to integrate regular exercise into my life. I appreciate your honesty about the mistakes we commonly make that sabotage our success!
You are so welcome!
I'm starting the beginner wall Pilates challenge today. I'm so excited to begin. I just finished a 30 day Yoga challenge. After my husband had a stroke 2 1/2 years ago, I have spent all my time on his rehab. I am ready to "rehab" myself and give myself some focus again. Thank you for giving me this resource to do so.
That’s great! I hope you enjoy it and I’m happy you are taking time for yourself now!
Thank you for sharing your own speed bumps and tips for success in a 28 day challenge, and just health and fitness in general. I’m very thankful to have found your channel when I needed it most. I’m sure I’m not the only one that means it when I say, thank you for changing my life for the better Rachel, you’re doing really great work ❤
That is so sweet thank u so much ! I'm so glad my channel is a good fit for you and I hope it helps you reach your goals! :)
Siiiiiis!!! This is one of the realest and most authentic "workout" videos I have ever watched and listened to! I really like and respect your transparency and greatly appreciate that you are not "body" focused🙏 I've downloaded your challenge for Beginners and will be starting MonYay. I'm so grateful that I found you♥
Thank you! I’m so glad it resonated with you ❤️ I’m excited for u to do the challenge!
Starting the challenge today. So much excited for this workout and new things to begin !!! 😃😃
i just wanted to say i’m on day 3 of the 28 day challenge and wow! the energy i have the sleep i get is amazing. thank you so much for this rachel
Wonderful! That’s so incredible to hear already!
I’ve tried lots of Pilates/workout videos on UA-cam and yours stood out because the beginner videos weren’t too hard, you didn’t talk too much but when you did it was helpful! Your warm ups actually help warm up my relevant muscles. I actually looked forward to doing your next video. I also love your philosophy.
I’ve done 8 days on a challenge and feel stronger! I printed out the challenge calendar and that’s been great. I really appreciate you!
That’s great! I’m so glad they stood out and glad we are a good fit!
I am 53 years old and in a rut with my exercising. I was always so ready to work out after work but I broke my leg and ankle a couple years ago and have struggled to get back into a routine. I am super excited to give your 28 day challenge a try. Listening to the 3 mistakes and your positivity has motivated me. My goal is to get fit and flexible again. I am still active but my body is showing my age more because lack of routine and tbh laziness. I am READY!!! Thank you for providing a platform for me to get healthier again.
Yay another 28 day challenge! I've been doing the weekly routines, but now I'm pumped...yep, coming from me, the girl who hates exercise! Let's be real, probably not everyone wants to exercise daily, but even when I don't want to, I push myself to do it, and it's so rewarding (specially when it's over hehehe) and I think it has a lot to do with you as a person, you're so encouraging and warm and that gives me strength to keep going. Thank you for everything Rachel
Aw thank u so much for your kind words! That's one of my favorite things to hear, that someone who hates exercise has found a routine they enjoy on my channel! I hope you love the new challenge just as much!
Wow, thankyou for taking the time to share your story and for being genuinely real about the vision and purpose behind your health routine and workout. That's the one area I've never been consistent in. I need not only to make changes to look better but ultimately to feel stronger. Because there's so many videos and ideas it can be overwhelming or feel unachievable. But you definitely helped me get a better perspective. 😊
I’m so glad this was helpful!
Thank you! I’ve heard these things before but you said it in a way that made sense to me & you made it doable.
My goal is to improve my mental health (depression & a stressful job)
Improve how my body feels physically (stronger & energy)
To enjoy me-slow down & take some time for me
Best and most honest video I've watched. I am 66 years old and still could relate to the "Stress has controlled my life." and I'm just now trying to make those changes. It's tough, but every time I eliminate a stressor, i feel happier. The anxiousness of speaking out/changing is torture for me, but so worth it in the end.
I’m so glad u like this video! And yes I have always been the same, it’s hard to speak up. But it leads to so much resentment when we don’t so it’s worth it to get a little uncomfortable in the moment 😅
Thank you so much for this honesty! My goals for the 28 day wall pilates challenge are: not to beat myself up or quit when I miss a day here or there but to get back on track; and to feel better in my own body by improving my muscle tone and just feeling a bit sexier for myself
Love these goals! and you're absolutely right about not beating yourself up.. there needs to be a balance between discipline and compassion if a workout just can't happen that day!
I am an almost 57 years old and going to be starting a new career in skin care. Due to hormonal changes my body is not the same and I have been very frustrated. I’m very grateful to have found your channel and I’m looking forward to making the long overdue lifestyle changes.
I'm going to start your challenge today. I just watched this video and got such a good vibe from you. You touched on really important things that I think a lot of fitness "influencers" don't. I've struggled with body image and weight issues my whole life. Staying consistent with exercise has always been an issue for me. So, my goals right now are to stay focused and committed to the 28 day challenge, improve my attitude towards exercise, and to work on my body image issues.
Thank you for providing these videos and resources!
I’m so glad I’m a good fit for u! Great goals and excited for u to start!
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel! As a fellow Pilates instructor who likes to focus on body affirming language it’s so nice to see others doing the same in this space!!! Thank you! ❤
aw I love to hear that! Thank you and so happy u are an instructor too! definitely something I'm trying to be conscious of here :)
You are so sweet and so motivating thank you so much for your videos ! New subscriber and doing the 28 challenge then hopefully continuing everyday with your other videos !!
Aw thank u so much!
One of the healthiest videos ever! Thank you for addressing the really important underlying issues that hold us back!
Thank u!! So glad u liked it 💕
im starting the 28-day wall pilates challenge for beginners today and i love that we have a way to hold ourselves accountable thru the comments. im here build discipline thru consistency, establish a healthy relationship w my body, and finally join a pilates studio in my area. thank you not only for this free resource but also for the gentle reminder on my personal relationship w food, i just subscribed
lovely goals! thanks so much for sharing
Thank you very much, Rachel, for your video to go further the physical aspect of working out and your holistic approach to take care of ourselves. Huge contribution❤
You're so welcome!❤️
I'm 56 and started your wall Pilates program yesterday. I'm not new to exercise, Pilates or yoga but I'm very excited to start your program and get myself back on track! Thank you for your videos!
so excited for u!
Day 1 of the 28-day challenge, and I am looking forward to the days to come. Your approach is gentle and inspiring; it really resonates. So thanks, Rachel!
Wonderful! so happy it does. glad we are a good fit and and I hope you really enjoy the challenge!
I am so grateful for your advice, it’s just what I needed to hear. Thank you for being a light and so transparent on this journey to fitness for health, happiness and balance. I hope to get results of fitness, better mental health and consistency!
Aw thank u so much! So glad it resonated
Thank you so much for posting this video! ❤ I found your page searching wall pilates bc i want to get back into fitness by starting at home. The weather is getting colder and I know myself i won't consistently go to the gym lol.
1. Increase energy through fall/winter
2. Become consistent in everything I do
3. Better posture hopefully it'll decrease the amount of tension headaches i wake up with.
Ill checkin on every video I complete! I got this
yes you absolutely do! wonderful goals. Thank u so much for sharing!
This was wonderful! Deep, helpful, real! Thank you so much! This is my first time commenting on a youTube video, just to tell you how much of an impact it made! I had done steps 1 and 2, before watching this video, but step 3 is a game changer, just what I needed! Thank YOU and thank God!
Wow I’m so glad the video had such an impact on you! Yes #3 is the ultimate game changer. And what it will do even beyond your fitness life is the most powerful part. So glad to have u here! Thank you for taking the time to comment 🥰
I’m 41 and have always wanted to give wall Pilates a try but the classes are so expensive. Until I found your channel! Thank you so much! I was at a really healthy weight about a year ago but marriage issues caused me to begin emotional eating and the weight piled on. I want to get healthier both physically and mentally and exercising can help with both. Thanks for making this workout available for free! Starting this evening!
Great goals!! Thank u so much for sharing. I hope u enjoy my workouts and find them helpful in your journey! 🥰
I'm 54 (55 in 2 months) and just had hip surgery on right side. I need left still. These exercises are similar to my physical therapy. I told my pt I was doing these and she said, keep doing them! She liked them. I started January 1st and want to gain strength again on my hip. I hated pilates, but tried your wall pilates and loved it! So trying this challenge now. I'm having bladder prolapse surgery on the 30th so felt having stronger abs and strengthening my pelvic floor muscles would help me heal faster. I love, love what you said about body image.
I’m so happy to hear that! I hope these continue to feel good and im glad your PT liked them as well 🥰
Thank you so much for this! I'm so excited to start the 28 day challenge
You're so welcome!
62 year old, restarting a fitness routine as I uplevel my work and home life. Thank you so much for sharing your tips! Great reminders of how we can set ourselves up for success with planning for those times when discipline needs to kick in. Looking forward to getting stronger and sleeping better!
You're so welcome! And yes sleep will be a huge benefit to a new workout program!
Your channel feels like a warm hug
haha that is the best comment, thank you!
I am inspired by your introduction and so glad you have such an impressive resume and philosophy. I am making my plan now.
Wonderful! I'm so happy that resonated with u!
Thanks Rachel, your video is great and I have loved the 28 day wall Plates challenge and I LOVE the fact that it tells me what to do so I don't have to think about it! Thank you SO very much! 🤗💖
that's great! so happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for this video. I especially liked when you said "How can I set up today to tolerate the discomfort of..." Planning is everything! Anticipating where I might falter, and think about how I could deal with that discomfort. Thank you again. Going over to your channel to choose the 28-day challenge now!
You are so welcome!
Oh man, you hit on some key struggles. Unhealthy relationships with food, family history of unrealistic body standards, pressures as a mother now to break toxic cycles, the importance of knowing what your body is capable of versus how it looks, and being open to help when it all feels like too much to juggle. All issues that we have seen or experienced ourselves that we don't talk about enough. Your passion is so evident on your channel and your encouragement, I know for at least me, has been really helpful as I have been working on my own goals. As always, thank you for sharing. 😊
Aw thank so much. Yes it’s important for me to share my own experience rather than come off like I’m just “giving advice” and acting like I’ve always had it all together! So glad it resonated with u!
I came across this and I know I should be sleeping but my relationship with food right now is terrible and I know it’s because I’m overcompensating because I know I love to work out but at times I can’t because I have this big ass fibroids that’s very uncomfortable for me to work out. I don’t want to do a hysterectomy which is what doctors seems to have as the only solutions which I honestly can’t seem to believe anyway just figured Pilates my be my answer after I was told not to lift heavy weights 😢😢…thanks for the free video’s will definitely try
Hi Rachel, thanks very much for all the nice videos. I could not find Day 7, 14, 21, and 28. Are those days for relaxing days or I missed some videos?
@@huaizhongliu6628 so sorry I missed this comment. yes, those are rest days
@@Cher-kj7ow I hope pilates is the answer! it can be a great alternative to heavy weights! I'm glad u liked the video and I hope you enjoy my workouts!
I am 57 yo and I really appreciate the beginner videos as I restart a fitness routine. I was to increase strength, flexibility, and health. Also, thank you for making them free.
Im 49 and starting your program today. I struggle with prioritizing my needs/ health and nervous and excited to start your program. You provided great tips, planning is a big part and one that will help me complete this challenge.
Thank u!!
Thank you so much for this video and these great tips! I'm looking to build consistent strength training in my work out routines and really think the 28 day challenge is going to help so much! I just did day 2 today and man do i feel it! 😂 but in a good way. Thanks again!
You're so welcome! I’m so glad u like the workouts and this video!
Love this! Thanks Rachel!
Thank u Danie!! Definitely working on getting more talking videos out there! 🙂
Really appreciate how you speak about fitness and self improvement. Your integrity is much respected and appreciated. Enjoying the 28 day challenge!! Day 13 in the books. ✔️
Awesome! Thank you!🙏🏽
Rachel, I was in an MVA 2 yrs ago and I hurt daily from my back getting pretty messed up and looking at surgeries in the future. It was a nursing career ender. I worked out with weights at the gym prior to the wreck and did Pilates. I found your 28 day wall Pilates workout and eased back into working out. Some days I have to have a couple of days off but, this is helping me get stronger with my core and lose weight that I gained due to not being highly functional like I was prior to the accident. Thank you for this alternative workout. ❤
I'm so happy its been a good fit for you! And good for you for trying to find some alternatives that work for you. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment :)
Just found your videos. Looking forward to starting. I’m at the planning phase where I usually mess up. You have some excellent tips. I want to work on body , stress and discipline and overall well being❤
Awesome! Thank you! Great goals
I’m 47 and I started in January. I’m on day 27, second time through. I am seeing small changes that make me very happy. At my age and weight, ANY visible change is welcome. Weight loss is not my primary goal; I just want to be stronger. Before starting in January, small tasks made me so tired, especially ones that required bending/squatting or raising my arms over my head. I had low back pain for years and was starting to have hip, neck and shoulder pain. Not having muscle strength was really putting a heavy load on my bones. Almost 2 months done, and most of my joint pain is gone! I have more energy and just feel better. Thank you so much.
When I am done with this 28 days I will repeat it one more time because I feel like I don’t want to move on without being able to complete every exercise *with* equipment without failure.
What has helped me to keep at it is putting Wall Pilates on my daily to-do list as a non-negotiable item, like brushing my teeth.
Again, thank you!
wow how wonderful! Im so glad most of your going pain is gone! Thank u so much for sharing and I hope you enjoy your. next round of the challenge!! love the mindset as well of a non-negotiable :)
I'm 58 and I do workout. The wall pilates I have tried were very calming for me! But not really focus on beginners. So I started looking for people on UA-cam and I found you, so I'm going to try your beginner 28 day challenge! Your experience and you personally I like, when you said not to be body focus was comforting to me!🧡
that's great to hear! im so glad we are a good fit :)
I recently discovered your channel and wasn't sure if you were someone I would want to follow and work out with, because I've tried many fitness UA-cam channels and been disappointed by most of them. Watching this really helped convince me to check out more of your workouts, because I could tell you are speaking from personal experience about a lot of these things, and I appreciate that you talked about the science behind it. It's been hard for me to find UA-cam fitness channels that I can stick with, but I have a few tried and true ones that have helped me develop a more consistent workout routine ever since being quarantined in 2020. I'm excited to try some of your workouts and challenges, so I'm glad I watched this! 😄
Thank you so much! I love to hear that. And yes, definitely part of being consistent is if you enjoy the instructor who is teaching. I hope I can be that for you, but if not I am always happy to give other channel recommendations to people who are looking for something that I'm not quite the right fit for!
@@rachelsfitpilates Oh, wonderful! I've never been offered that by a UA-camr so thank you! 🥰
While your channel still looks great to me, I'm curious who else you have to recommend since I do like to mix things up a bit and am always looking for new channels to follow, haha
Hi there! Just stumbled across your youtube channel looking for the best app for wall exercise. I appreciate the time, commitment, and transparency you put into explaining about what pilates is and isn’t and how to be sensible about our goals. I was injured 5 years ago at work and have lost muscle, balance, strength, and gained weight! I sam getting older and am tired of being immobilized due to these physical alignments. Ready to try something different to help. Day one today, I will keep you posted! Thank you!
That’s great thank u for your kind words🙏🏽
I’m truly excited to start today. I have a 3 year old, we moved out of state 3 times and I just lost myself trying to keep everything together. I knew I couldn’t keep this up while pushing my comfort aside. Your kind and genuine words really helped me today. I want to be strong and healthy so I can keep up with my son. Thank you for doing this ❤
aw im so glad to hear that!
I finished your 28 day challenge yesterday. And I can feel and see the difference. It’s really helped me maintain a realistic workout routine. I’ve always been obsessed with having a perfect body. But now I have 2 daughters and don’t ever want them to feel like they should obsess about looking a certain way. Your workouts make me feel productive and not like I over did anything. I feel energized, healthy, and satisfied thank you!
wow so wonderful! love your mindset especially with your daughters. they are lucky to have a mom who is so mindful about these things and the impact we can have on young minds. thank u for sharing!
All I can say is thank you. My mind and my body thanks you. Incredible!! 62 and living it!! Making me stronger everyday. May God bless you and your family!
aw thanks so much!
Hi Rachel. I have enjoyed my first three workouts. I am here to build core strength mostly. I can already tell how much I need this! I really appreciate your approach and your awareness of an overemphasis on body image. Thank you!
You're so welcome! im so glad you like my approach
Just finished day two of your plan and after watching this you are now my go to you tuber for workouts. I have three daughters and I am hyper careful about how I talk about my body, weight and food. I do not want them to grow up with the same issues I did. I want to model for them that I am comfortable in my skin, I know that I am wonderfully made and that I can exercise to get strong and healthy. I feel comfortable with them seeing your videos and I like them too!
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank u so much and that’s great you’re being so mindful about all of this for them ❤️
This video was great info and I’m so glad to find you. I started with another Pilates person yesterday just to find out she posts so many pictures of herself in bikini’s. Not what I am wanting as my motivation at 58! Health and strength are my no.1&2 goals as I enter a new season of being a grandmother. Thank you Rachel! I look forward to working out with you.
Those are great goals! Happy to have u here 😊
Stronger core! I've been doing a good workout for 3+ yrs, time to challenge a change! Needing strength & energy to keep up with grand-youngins!
I used to be an avid exerciser beginning as a teenager all the way to my late 40's, I was very focused on weight loss and how I looked physically. I really resonate with your goal to shift that ideal because in my mid-50's I developed an autoimmune disease and my body and my muscles have never been the same! I've done my best to adjust, but it's not been easy, I am hoping your 28 day Pilates program can help me get some of my strength and endurance back, even if I don't lose any of the extra weight that came with this disease. You are completely correct about shifting the priorities about why to exercise, your message really hit me in the emotions too.
aw thank u! Im so glad it resonated with u and hope u like that challenge!
The three results I’m looking for are to tone up, set up new healthy habits and gain strength. Thank you for your videos. I can see your passion come through. I also liked the idea of asking myself daily what I can do to minimize the uncomfortable feelings that may come up. That way I can plan ahead. Adapt and overcome!
We only change when we become uncomfortable.
That’s growth! I plan to start your challenge tomorrow! 😊
yay! great goals thank u for sharing and good luck!
Thank you so much for this. I needed this video ❤, This is 2nd try to the 28 day wall palettes ..I fell of the wagon at day 20.
Im so glad you found it helpful! I hope you can set the next 28 days up to make it achievable for you :) its ok if you take breaks if you need to, don't let it discourage you.. just pick up where you left off!
Thank you Rachel for this new 28 days challenge. You help me so much to lead a more healthier and happy life! With lots of ❤from the Netherlands!
I’m so happy to hear that!! Thanks so much for your comment 🥰
You're an angel for making this so accessible to everyone! I'm on day two of your videos! And decided well that's two days in to a 28 day challenge!
I want to complete this because 1) I want to be able to run and jump and play with my 4 year old and 9 month old boys forever. 2) I want to feel confident and strong. 3) I want to give my body some way to let off some steam in a healthy way, I noticed as a mother I get much more over stimulated throughout the day when I don't move my body as much! ❤
aw thank u. great goals!
A good playlist also helps keep me motivated
I love the wholesomeness u have to offer not just losing weight
Thank u! ❤️
Thank you for the very helpful tips! I added this routine to my calendar for the next 28 days! My three goals are to feel stronger, feel more confident in my body, and build flexibility!
Thank you for creating this challenge! Today is my first day.

Day 1 complete! I'm looking forward to the next 27. You have provided great information and I felt supported before I even began.
im so glad! good luck! :)
Pls update
I just found your channel like many others I've seen here. I used to play ultimate frisbee as much as I could, running and physical activity was the best and then I had kids and got a desk job and that all stopped. I'm hoping to just regain some of that desire and energy for physical activity. I want to regain strength and flexibility. Weight-loss would be an added bonus but I want it to be more about my mental space and energy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge honestly.
Lovely goals thank u!!
This video totally hits home. I have high stress daily, and I am trying to find some balance. And take better care of me.
I hope you are able to find it! We are all in this together :)
Thank you for creating these challenges and videos! Finally found something that is easy for me as a working mom.
You are so welcome! as a working mom too I totally get it!!
I just started! I’m 28 and would like to be healthier before turning 30 so I hope your videos can be my company for the next year at least! 😄 I really enjoy your explanation and motivation 🤍
Absolutely! Glad u found me! 🙌🏽
I am wanting to get stronger and toned I have a lot of jiggly that must be addressed. My why is that this body and mind must take me all the way to the end of my life so that I can continue to work and support myself financially. Thank you so much for this gift. I appreciate you and your time.
Thanks for sharing!!
I've just started the 28 day challenge yesterday. I'm looking forward to building strength and having a healthier routine and habits (more self discipline) and losing weight along the way.
Those are fantastic goals! Thank you for sharing :)
I'm going to be 50 this year and I am having a really hard time accepting what society tells me about my aging body and my role in society. Its making me desperately unhappy when i know i actually have so much life ahead of me that i want to enjoy. My children are aged 8, 12 and 14 and deserve a mum who can demonstrate that it is always possible to gain strength no matter where you start from, that respecting ourselves by devoting time to improve something that makes you unhappy is important and finally i want to show them that we never stop learning. If i can use that as motivation and just trust that your videos will get me there then I may finally be able to look forward to this next part of my life. The idea of failing is terrifying! Wish me luck - and thank you x
Good luck! Thank u so much for sharing! There is no failing here.. it’s ok if u miss a day.. just come back and keep being as consistent as you can 😊
Before you even said have a plan, I felt in my heart I need to print out the 28 day challenge and have it on my vision board!!!! Thanks for all the tips and tricks I’m already motivated and haven’t even started! But I will very soon. Today is 1/11/24 and I turned 39 this past Monday the 8th. Can’t wait to strengthen my core. As a student stenographer I need a strong core now for hours of sitting typing on a machine ❤
Love that! That’s a great idea to put it on your vision board! I hope u find the workouts helpful!
Starting my 28 day challenge today, I am 33 years old and willing to make major shift in my journey to love working out and feeling accomplished everyday. wish me luck !
You got this!
Rachel,
Did my first day of the 28 day challenge today! For me my issue has been binge eating/overeating. I have generalized anxiety disorder so binge eating has been my comfort for years. I’ve already cut out some unhealthy things for me (ex:// birth control which caused me to gain a few extra pounds) and am trying to cut out alcohol. I’m not only doing this to challenge to loose weight but to feel better mentally
Aw I love that! Yea I struggled for many years with restrictive eating and had no idea how anxious I was. Once I went to therapy (both a licensed counselor and a clinical hypnotherapist) it made me aware of how anxious I was about life.. but instead I fixated on food to control and genuinely never thought abt my life stresses.. but they were still there in my subconscious. It definitely took years of work to get to where I am now! I’m so glad the message resonated with you and I hope you find my channel a good fit for you 🙂
Love it ❤thanks 💪🏼
You're so welcome!
Hi Rachel. Im 45 and I'm starting the 28 day pilates challenge today. My goals are to develop better habits of exercise daily, regain strength and feel better overall. I like your approach and honesty about how to have success.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it
I'm 22 and doing this because I've fallen out of shape. I used to run and bike and i loved being able to walk inclines and take stairs without getting winded. I've also been going through a lot with my mental health. My goal for this plan is to improve my mood, my ability to handle stress, my self-discipline, and my sleep. I hope also to start a path of losing weight and getting toned so I feel more comfortable in my body and so I can be more capable with any physical tasks, like moving furniture for my parents.
Hello. Thank you so very much for this 28 Day Pilates Challenge. In the past, I have done most of the trendy workouts including Insanity, P90x, TaeBo, Barre, and Winsor Pilates. Truly enjoyed them all and benefited the most when I changed my lifestyle (eliminating added sugar and stopped eating at a time that works for my metabolism). I watched the 1st three prep videos and hit pause to find an accountability partner and will be starting TODAY. So grateful for this.🙏
Wonderful!! Great job and I’m excited for u to start!
Thank you Rachel, you are amazing!!!
Aw thank u!
Day 1 was amazing! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Hi Rachel, I’m improving my time management and discipline this year, i know I can do it because I’ve done it before, I went from 98kg to 52kg from eating the correct portion sizes and yoga in my lounge room. I’ve restricted and tried the gyms , PT’s and supplements but the biggest difference was just showing up daily and doing just 10 mins at least, first thing in the morning and my reward is my coffee. It started feeling like a lifestyle and I was excited to do that each morning , and I never felt better but slowly life got on top of me and I’m bringing control back into my life so I feel alive again, so I’m starting your challenge today!
I love that! Small but realistic goals and consistency will get you there again! Excited for u to begin the challenge
Hello Rachel I am 52 and starting your program I have always been in love with Pilates I am on day 4 and I love it. I am going to plan to stay focused and make it through!
Wonderful! I hope u enjoy the challenge!
Amen!! Looking to gain strength in my core and back after my baby girl! Discipline in every area and consistency!!! Sheeew. Thank you!!❤️🔥. God bless you🥰
You got this! so glad u liked the video
