Just love your reformer workouts, Melanie! Just when my form has gone off track you always give those gentle reminders that get me back where I need to be! Would love to see more jump board and interval workouts! 😄
Hi this is my first one I did in it's entirety. I absolutely love how you teach. I already subscribed great explanations. I love pilates been doing it for over 25 years!. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Dawn! I’m so glad that you’re here and that you’re enjoying the classes :) Good on you for doing Pilates for 25 years! I’m impressed 👏
Another great workout. I especially love the workouts that incorporate use of the straps over the knees. Thank you so much for posting this, it's one of my favorites.
Thank you so much! Coincidentally, I just recorded another one with straps over the knees right before you posted this comment. It'll be live on Tuesday AM. Stay tuned :)
Once again, I thank you for these videos. I always find one that suits my needs for that day. I like the slightly different moves today. I appreciate you, your gentle and strong style. Take care!
I’m happy to acknowledge you and what you’re doing for us. I just did this one again, thank you. I really like your socks, I’d like to find good ones for Pilates. Anyhow, I was just following along thinking that if I knew you I’d want to be your friend. I like you mood, tone, vibe, if you will. I wish you a good day, take care of yourself.👼🏻
Great workout, as always. Loved the ab and glute work with the strap on the thighs. Still have issues doing short spine. Any pointers for getting past just your bum being slightly off the carriage?
Thank you so much, KA. Good question re: short spine - hard to say for sure without seeing you move, but I’d first look at 1) using the short loops vs. the long loops if you have double loop attachments on your reformer, 2) making sure that your ropes aren’t too long (the straps should just reach the front of the shoulder blocks), and if both of those aren’t a contributing factor, 3) testing out adding a little more spring resistance to help provide more tension as you’re going up (e.g. two heavy or two heavy + 1 light). If that doesn’t do it, there are some alternate exercises that can help in preparation - please let me know how it goes
@@MelanieLopezPilates Thanks Melanie. Double loop straps are all good. I’ll play around with the springs and let you know how it goes. I’ve had to do that before in classes with certain exercises.
@@MelanieLopezPilates Wow! Great advice. It helped so much. I’ve been using the long loop so tried the short and had to move up to two heavy springs but it worked! This is the first time I’ve been able to do it.❤ Previously at Club Pilates for over a year, doing 1.5 and 2 level classes and I still couldn’t get there. Awesome advice makes all the difference.
Thanks Vicki! Love to hear that :) I do sometimes get sore - typically not catastrophically, but I can usually feel it a bit the next day. How about you?
Hi Melanie……I love your Pilates site! I try different ones every morning. There was one with Rebecca wearing all turquoise top and bottom that was some standing, arm exercises that I really liked but can no longer find it. Where did it go? Wasn’t the one starting with the ballet footwork. Does that still exist? I loved the variation of that particular session. On the title I remember it said standing but can’t remember the rest.
Thanks for your kind words, Zenaida! Could you be thinking of this one? I don’t recall a standing one that we did with Rebekah in the turquoise outfit, but the series that you’re describing makes me think that you’re remembering this workout. Let me know if this is what you were looking for: Pilates Reformer Workout | INTENSE | FULL BODY | ADVANCED Reformer Workout th-cam.com/video/TxzLyTReNVY/w-d-xo.html
or this one? also not in turquoise, but has both standing and arm work sequences. let me know if we found it :) Pilates Reformer Workout | 25 Minute | Intermediate | Standing | Metro IQ Reformer Workout th-cam.com/video/XwHOk5JXXvs/w-d-xo.html
I love your videos. And you have a nice range of exercises keeping it fresh from other Pilates instructor’s videos. My only critique is that you transition too fast when you speed up the videos, not allowing me to easily transition with you. Causing me to have to get out of the flow to back the video up so I can stay with you. Otherwise I love some of your exercises in this one, they get that deep space in my shoulders and and AB’s that I don’t always reach.

I hope it helps! The shorter straps should be better if you’re switching that up.

Yay! I’m so glad that you cracked it! 👏👏👏❤️
Thank you Melanie! I love no props because I don't have to interrupt my flow! Do you ever get sore?

I’m considering moving my reformer to the main level from the 2nd floor of the house, as my legs feel like jello after these workouts. 😜
😂 now that’s commitment!

This could be my bikini 👙 calling video!😂

Thanks Melanie, you always have something fresh for us. Appreciate you so much.
I appreciate you, Jamie! Thanks for your support always xo
