This pilates workout is a great routine to implement whether your goal is pilates for weight loss, full body strengthening, or giving your body a more “toned” look. This routine includes a warmup, ab arms and thigh exercises and cooldown stretching. My pilates workouts are easy to follow, use simple cues, and have a balanced approach to cueing- talking for form tips and giving you breaks from talking to focus on the movements. I use elements commonly found in fitness videos like interval timers to keep the pace moving in between exercises, and to allow you to focus on the movements, rather than counting repetitions. My hope is that this routine will be easy to follow, easy to understand my cueing, effective at challenging and strengthening you and supportive to your weight loss/ wellness journey.

🥵Hadn’t done this workout yet that I remember.. swimming was excruciating… lol.. Thanks Rachel
Day 27 done🎉
Done ✅ I love how you exercise in peace and smooth. In the future I wanna be like you, in my home, showing exercises and contributing by relaxing everyone❤
I can never seem to straighten my leg all the way during exercises that require it to be up like at 15:00. What am I doing wrong? I feel like I just don't have the flexibility (my hamstrings have always been tight). Is it okay if my leg is bent during those?
I am regularly doing workouts with you,how can I become a trainer please guide me

Day 26 🎉🎉❤
Accidentally managed to do the plank the whole way through! Told myself I just needed to make it to 15 seconds, then just 20. But my counting was off and I did it! Small victories 😂
Day 26 done!
Day 26 Done
I've never been so consistent in my life and seem such results I can't wait for the December workouts. Love you Rachel Thank you for changing my life and making me feel better about myself❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉 Yayy
Taken me two months to finally complete this challenge. Finished my last day today with this workout.
I struggled with the exercises lying on my tummy/front, are there any alternatives to those exercises please?
❤
Done with day 26 😍
Day 26✅😊🥳. Rachel you're the best, I do love your challenges, I've been able to be consistent and be disciplined to stick to this workout lifestyle.
Thanks!
great workout for my tired body!
The ads on this one were just annoying. I was spoiled by the careful placement on all the other videos.
Day 26 ✅
LOVED this one! Thank you Rachel!!🤗
Day 26 ✅
I can't believe I'm almost through the 28 day beginner challenge! I was able to do all of the exercises the whole way through. The difference in my body's strength and abilities is astounding. Thank you so much Rachel!
It's taken me longer than 26 days to get here, I'm managing to fit in 4/5 practices a week and can see and feel the difference it's making to my body 😊
Day 26! I can't believe I've made it this far, it's the longest streak I've maintained since forever. The brige extrending the leg pointing the feet is to difficutlt for me, I can't concentrate on the leg, the bridge and breathing at the same time, I either hold my breath or lower my bum, lol
Today I switched from wall Pilates to full body…. This may have been harder for me…. I have all sorts of pelvic region pain and weakness and am very overweight. Maybe I’ll do both on days I feel up to it…. Desperately need to get back to normal health! Thank you for your gentle teaching g method and kind voice… Kelley D high point, nc
wow! So happy! I was able to this one! 🎉😊
I am seeing great progress as I remain consistent! Thank you for these short videos, which help me to squeeze these into my very busy schedule. I am feeling so much better than when I started! 🤩
Day 26 done ✅
Still struggling with 1-leg bridge work – weirdly, I feel in more in my quads than my glutes!
Day 26 done! ✅ Great workout! Thank you!💜
I'm supposed to be in Day 28 now, but I need to catch up what I missed. Will do Day 27 now then Day 28 later
Day 26 done!
I took several days off unintentionally because of a bit of illness, so coming back where I left off. Feels good, but was a little more difficult than it probably would have been if I had been able to be consistent. It’s cool that I can feel that difference, though, because before starting this program, I would have had no idea!
Finished day 28. Circling back to do Day 27 stretch. Took a rest day yesterday.
Day 26! ✅
Am out of the house and was worried about not having any equipment but your workouts are so accessible that I could just find a bit of free floor and do it all! And I only thought there was a spider in my hair twice 😅
Day 26 complete!
Wow I just came across you channel and instantly subscribed this was such a brilliant workout everything about it was perfect you have such a calming voice and I love how you broke each part down with clear timing's and how many we have left! Thankyou so much x
Done
Namaste 🙏
This was great ❤
Day 22✅✅
Day 26 done, I definitely feel stronger and more flexible, which is my main goal.
Love this one!
The music at the end was so nice and relaxing. Day 26 done.✅
