I did this for 6 months and I looked unbelievable, my abs are like a rock and my back is more strong then ever, Thank you Donna you are an incredible woman. p.s, tell Will to clean his dishes xo
Just started exercising again after health issues. Love, Love, Love this. It is exactly what is needed to build strength without an extensive cardio work. Thank you.
Thx a lot i am an openwater swimmer 74 years old and training every single day pilates and swimming your class is excellent helps me to fe el my AB much stronger
Wow what an inspiration you are !!! Thank you for messaging and your kind words. Your message made me smile …. Hugs from me to you . Your English is very good ❤️
Great video and exercise set. I have suffered from chronic neck issues all my life due to being blind in one eye and holding my head slightly off centre to compensate for lack of sight (my C2 likes to rotate). I have learnt to manage my neck as best I can but I have struggled to find an exercise programme where I can monitor what my neck and shoulders are doing without having someone watching me. Being against the wall and floor in this workout gives me the sensory feedback and support I need so keep my neck and shoulders relaxed and in alignment. I also really appreciate the reminders to relax the shoulders.
I am delighted this workout gives you the opportunity to move & maintain your alignment ❤️so good. Enjoy 😉 and thank you so much for taking the time to message. Keep up the great work xx
I’ve been searching for a wall Pilates workout and am glad I came across this one as I was sipping on my morning cup of coffee. Will be trying it when I get home.
I absolutely love this! Used this as my first workout after months off. I felt like my whole body got a good workout without feeling any pressure. Thank you!!
Will be 68 in 4 days . Starting weight 239 Heaviest I’ve ever been . Today is the 1st day of the rest of my life . Goal weight by 209 @May @October 179 @ 69th Birthday goal weight 143 !!!
Love that you have set yourself goals & a timeline. One day at a time , keep consistent and be encouraging of yourself for all your efforts. Try and increase your step count , people generally underestimate the huge impact it has on mental well being and weight management . Walk , Pilates , repeat 💯🙌x You got this x
You are so welcome x I love the wall pilates for the very reasons you stated. I’ve just launched a 6 Day/ 1 Week Wall Pilates Challenge on my channel … Day 1 & 2 are now live. There is a new wall Pilates workout every day for the next 6 Days … enjoy x
Just started this three days ago, love your quiet approach and detailed instructions. I feel this is for me and hopefully will continue with your videos.
It’s been a looong time since I’ve done Pilates. I’m back to doing yoga again but I am not quite the same in my flexibility and range of motion. My medical condition has set me back a bit. But this wall Pilates is something I think will work for me as I slowly get back to working out consistently again. Need to strengthen my achy leg, arm and core muscles! Thank you!
Fellow instructor here. Such a unique class…I loved it! Great job on your cues, reminders on good form & encouragement. Well done! Definitely subscribing!
I have a lower back injury, it’s over 20 years old, and recently it’s hurt so bad that it impacts the way I walk until my back lose a up. Bridges are really hard at the top because the pain makes me Feel as if I’m not strong enough to push it. These were great movements as I had the wall to stabilize me and I was able to do movements that have caused me pain for years. ALSO: I normally turn the volume off when I do video workouts … but something about you, I kept it on the whole time I felt like I was in a class with a friend.
I loved reading your message and so delighted for you that you have found a way of moving with my workouts that doesn’t cause you pain. I am delighted to share your Pilates mat and to be invited into your home x Enjoy the workouts, keep listening to your body and together we will get stronger xx 😘
First day back on my mat after a looong break of 3 years. Thank you Donna, post hip operation at 63 I'm feeling like I can become supple again and banish the belly flab.
Thank you so much! I've been struggling with long-covid since a year, not being able to even walk more than 10 minutes. Now things are getting a little bit better but I still can't do everything I was used to do before. Exercising is really really hard for people with this disease and we have to be really careful to not over do anything as it will increase the symptoms and erase all progress. With you wall exercices, I can move, using the wall as a support, and adjust the intensity according to my limits. I sure hope I'll be able to get back to my previous body health!
Wow Caroline what an inspiration you are to others. I hope anyone in your circumstances reading this will feel motivated and encouraged. It’s a long journey but it sounds like you are listening to your body and doing what you can to hold strength in a safe way. I am so pleased to hear these workouts are helping you . Be proud of yourself and thank you for sharing your experience xx 😘
Thank-you 😃 I used to do pilates regularly, then life happened, and consequently my back has started giving me more and more grief. I've been searching for wall pilates so I can get going again to rebuild strength and flexibility, but with extra support. Great workout 😊
@@PilateswithDonnaFinnie Question - when we do the standing push ups against the wall, do our heels come up off the floor or should they stay flat? I cant see your feet in the video....
Hi Nina … great question…. Either position is fine …. Mine however are lifted off the floor so I focus on the upper body movement and not be restricted by possible lack of ankle flexion or tight Achilles . Hope this helps x
Hi Barbara.. little steps, listen to your body, take your time . Love that you are excited 😆. Enjoy the process and thank you for taking the time to get in touch xx 😘
I love this workout! I feel it during, after and the next couple of days but It also feels so good to stretch your body with all of these movements. I love that it’s only 28 minutes too so I can do it while my Bub sleeps in the morning or afternoon. Love love love it ❤
Hi Sarah … I love that you ❤️ it so much !! It always feel so good to move your body and I love that you are fitting it in around your little bubs sleep 🥰. Enjoy xx New Wall Pilates workouts coming soon 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank You very much! Will check for the link to the other! I do what I call Touch/Grab WALL THURSDAY with your permission I will include these MOVEs in my session. Delightfully pleased!!!
Great video. I’ve been doing pilates for just over a year but have never tried the wall exercises before. I’m always looking for new exercises to help with osteoarthritis in my hip and these are great. I will definitely repeat and look out for more!
Hi Ana thank you , so good to hear you are enjoying my videos. I really appreciate your kind words x In terms of my weekly routine … Pilates 3-4 sessions a week, a couple of runs and 1 or 2 weights sessions. I do more Pilates than anything else. Hope that answers your question xx
First pilates workout since having my baby. I've been looking for a gentle way to get stronger again and this is perfect. Chellnging without feeling like I'm pushing too hard or doing damage. Would love some hip opening routines as my hips/groin have been really painful :(
Was just about to share the link. Glad you found it 🙌. So happy to hear you’ve found workouts you can enjoy and that your body will benefit from. Hugs to you and your baby x
I have a damaged neck - it is straight when it ought to be curved. C3-C5. It is a problem knowing how to treat it. That is why I am here. It helps alleviate the discomfort
I hope the workouts and movement help to alleviate your discomfort. If you are unsure about any of the moves and they don’t feel right for your body , please skip them x Enjoy x
Good Morning … thank you 😊! Always listen to your body. Generally 8-12 reps. If you are feeling strong and energised you could do more however the most important thing is to focus on control and connection, find stability in your core as you move. It is of more value to do 6 reps correctly than 12 reps without the stability x x I’d repeat this a couple of times a week and layer in 1 or two or my other workouts for variety and to challenge your body in a different ways x Enjoy 😉 xx
I have to say even though I work put about 3-4 times a week this was different. I really liked it. I could feel me working all my muscles. I really enjoyed it and I got tired 😅.
Love your video! Today was my 1st day. My goal is to do at least 3 days a week. I never exercise. Hoping this will help me get back into a good life routine! Thanks for your help!
Hey Mindy … thank you for choosing to workout with me …. I am sure you will achieve your goal 💯. Consistency is key to success, enjoy moving & falling in love with Pilates xx 😘
I just started exercising again. I want to be happy with my body again. Do you also have full body wall pilates for beginners? I really liked this video, but I notice that I really start from scratch. I'm as flexible as a door 🙈😊
Hi … thanks for getting in touch x I’m so glad you discovered my channel and hope you can find workouts on there that you can enjoy 😉 x There are a number of Beginner’s Pilates workouts on the channel which are Mat Pilates, some in standing & also some seated on a chair. I hope you can experiment and find the ones that work for where you feel you are on your fitness journey right now & then layer in new workouts as you build confidence and strength x I like your suggestion… thank you 😊
I am old enough that when I was a teen, I followed young Jane Fonda’s workout (I had her book and I think video). In retrospect, it seems like she was doing (non-wall) Pilates (a word I never heard of), but faster. Are you familiar with those old exercise routines? (I know you aren’t anywhere near that old!) if so, is that how you would describe Fonda’s routine? Is the Pilates that you are demonstrating normally done at a fast(er) pace? Thank you for taking such care in explaining how to do this.
Good Morning … I really appreciate your kind words and taking the time to get in touch. Wow have you seen Jane Fonda recently she is looking amazing, she has aged with grace and radiates the benefits of exercise and taking care of yourself. Pilates isn’t about speed and that’s one of the reasons I love it. The magic happens in finding connection with your mind & body. We move with control creating stability in our centre & when done correctly it is challenging 😅. You can feel the ‘work’ as I am sure you are aware doing my workouts. Thank you once again for your kind words. I look forward to seeing you on your mat again soon xx 😘
Hi ... thank you for getting in touch. Always seek medical advice before starting a new form of exercise if you are at all unsure. If you have been cleared to exercise you could choose to give it a try, mov slowly , with control and stop if it doesn't feel right x
I really enjoy the wall pilates, I am currently experiencing movement challenges and find using the wall really helps me maintain proper alignment, I would you consider a multi day wall pilates series/challenge?
Thank you for your feedback . You can work at your own pace, maybe add more reps. Speed doesn’t necessarily mean more work … slow and controlled can be so challenging x x
Hi 👋…. I love pilates and have found that through this amazing method my body shape has changed. I also enjoy running 1-2 times a week, 5km distance and weights again 1-2 times a week x As we age our bodies really benefit from body weight exercises such as Pilates and weight training to aid bone density. I’m a great advocate of …. strong body = strong mind x
Omg I loved it!!!! I’ve never done Pilates before and wow, I can say it’s my new hobby after this video!!! But how many times a week should I do this workout?
Hi Karla , I am loving your enthusiasm 💯♥️. I would suggest mixing things up weekly … do this video and 2-3 of my other workouts and you’ll really start to feel a change in your body and the way your mind and body connect. Pilates will give you more awareness of how you move and that will feed into your daily life in a positive way x Enjoy 😉😘 xx
Loved it, first time doing wall Pilates, but would love the camera to be on your legs at all times as I got lost a bit when you only had camera on upper torso thx
First time doing pilates and loving it. I wanted to diversify my workouts so in addition to my weights training this is perfect. But i have a question, how many reps should we do?
Wonderful! So good to hear you are living Pilates x Always listen to your body, do as many reps as you feel able to whilst maintaining good form. Think about the placement of your hips, connecting with your core, engaging your pelvic floor. Enjoy moving and listen to what your body is saying. It’s might be interesting to discover you can do more reps on one side. We all tend to have a stronger side , maybe try and work on o creasing reps on the weaker side x x Have fun 🤩
Fibro, degenerating discs, arthritis nearly everywhere, med & thyroid triggered obesity. I've been looking for a no-impact exercise that will supplement my cycling and help rehab my ankle (12+ sprains in 5 years). This looks like it may be it.
The more we move the more calories we burn, the greater our muscle mass the more calories we burn. Our bodies love to move and I think when we move with more confidence and feel stronger in our bodies that will also encourage us to make healthy food choices x Enjoy the journey and thank you for getting in touch xx
Thank you for joining me. I think the most important thing is to find a way of exercising that you really enjoy and can be consistent with. The more we enjoy moving our bodies, the stronger and more flexible we feel & the more comfortable we become in our own skin. Movement is key to a healthy life style, focus on getting around 8-10k of steps everyday, preferably outdoors, making healthy food choices, staying hydrated and plenty of sleep. Weight loss is achieved through a combination of the above but a greater goal might be to build a stronger body and the rest will begin to fall into place for you. Have fun 🤩
Hi Kathleen, great to hear from you x Always listen to your body and if the movement and exercises feel good ( they may also feel challenging 😉) enjoy the process. I am 52 and my personal goal is to not be limited by my age , I know how my body feels and try to listen to what my body is saying. Our bodies love movement ❤️. As long as you don’t have any medical conditions that may prevent you from participating, go for it x
Hi Liz … great to hear from you . Always listen to your body. You know how each exercise feels for you , what energy levels you have and what other activities you may have done. If you are feeling tired rest & then try and do a few more reps. If you’ve lots of energy and you feel strong , just go for it ! Count how many reps you can manage on each side, we are generally stronger on one side compared with the other. Mentally record your reps and if you keep repeating this workout and the number of reps go up, you’ll know you are building strength and stamina x
64 & fabulous 👌 👏 👍 x Little steps, listen to your body, be consistent ✨️ and you'll make progress 💯. Thank you for your lovely comment ... keep up the great work xx
Hi … thank you for your comment. Pilates is for everyone & that’s one of the reasons I love it so much. Regardless of age, gender, size , ability there are Pilates movements and exercises that will work for everyone. We all just need to find a way of exercise that works for us as individuals that we can enjoy and sustain x

Hi ... thank you for getting in touch. Always seek medical advice before starting a new form of exercise if you are at all unsure. If you have been cleared to exercise you could choose to give it a try, mov slowly , with control and stop if it doesn't feel right x
I really enjoy the wall pilates, I am currently experiencing movement challenges and find using the wall really helps me maintain proper alignment, I would you consider a multi day wall pilates series/challenge?
Wonderful! Loved reading your message… great job 👏👍💥👏& a great suggestion … watch this space x x
I get excited when I see a video for a 30 min workout. Unfortunately it’s so slow that there’s probably only 20 min of work.
Thank you for your feedback . You can work at your own pace, maybe add more reps. Speed doesn’t necessarily mean more work … slow and controlled can be so challenging x x
Donna how do you keep your body so ripped? Are there any other exercises you do outside of Pilates?
Hi 👋…. I love pilates and have found that through this amazing method my body shape has changed. I also enjoy running 1-2 times a week, 5km distance and weights again 1-2 times a week x
As we age our bodies really benefit from body weight exercises such as Pilates and weight training to aid bone density. I’m a great advocate of …. strong body = strong mind x
@@PilateswithDonnaFinnie thank you so much for sharing your workout routine and also sharing your love of Pilates with the world! ❤️
I really enjoyed this, it wasn't hard but I will do this often!
Great to hear you enjoyed this workout. Enjoy xx 😁
Omg I loved it!!!! I’ve never done Pilates before and wow, I can say it’s my new hobby after this video!!! But how many times a week should I do this workout?
Hi Karla , I am loving your enthusiasm 💯♥️. I would suggest mixing things up weekly … do this video and 2-3 of my other workouts and you’ll really start to feel a change in your body and the way your mind and body connect. Pilates will give you more awareness of how you move and that will feed into your daily life in a positive way x
Enjoy 😉😘 xx
this looks fab
Hi Jane. It is 😁enjoy 🥰 xx
Loved it, first time doing wall Pilates, but would love the camera to be on your legs at all times as I got lost a bit when you only had camera on upper torso thx
Noted! Thank you 🙏 a really appreciate you taking the time to comment and your feedback xx
Another great workout. Gentle but I really feel it.
Great work Cathy …. It’s all about how it feels. Enjoy 😉 xx
First time doing pilates and loving it. I wanted to diversify my workouts so in addition to my weights training this is perfect. But i have a question, how many reps should we do?
Wonderful! So good to hear you are living Pilates x
Always listen to your body, do as many reps as you feel able to whilst maintaining good form. Think about the placement of your hips, connecting with your core, engaging your pelvic floor. Enjoy moving and listen to what your body is saying. It’s might be interesting to discover you can do more reps on one side. We all tend to have a stronger side , maybe try and work on o creasing reps on the weaker side x x
Have fun 🤩
Fantastic!!!! Thank you ❤
Thank you Jami xx
Amazing one buddy!

Can we wear shoes? I had toe surgery and have arthritis in toes. Dr encourage Pilate and yoga. Since I can’t be barefoot very long. Thank you
Yes of course,its important to make the workouts work for you & your body. Your time, your body, you are in charge 🥰💯. Enjoy 😉 xx
I did this tonight! I love it and plan on doing this 2x a day. Thank you!!!
Wonderful! You are so welcome. Enjoy 😉 xxx
Thank you Donna. This was my 1st Wall Pilates Workout and it was very good for me. I haven't exercised in such a long time.
You are so welcome . Enjoy 😉🥰 xx
Fibro, degenerating discs, arthritis nearly everywhere, med & thyroid triggered obesity. I've been looking for a no-impact exercise that will supplement my cycling and help rehab my ankle (12+ sprains in 5 years). This looks like it may be it.
Fabulous!! Enjoy 😉🙌👍👏🤩 xx
Fabulous
Thank you xx 🙌
Will it help in losing weight also?
The more we move the more calories we burn, the greater our muscle mass the more calories we burn. Our bodies love to move and I think when we move with more confidence and feel stronger in our bodies that will also encourage us to make healthy food choices x
Enjoy the journey and thank you for getting in touch xx
I am 13 year old who wants to lose weight. How much weight can I lose by doing this particular workout every day for a month?
Thank you for joining me. I think the most important thing is to find a way of exercising that you really enjoy and can be consistent with. The more we enjoy moving our bodies, the stronger and more flexible we feel & the more comfortable we become in our own skin. Movement is key to a healthy life style, focus on getting around 8-10k of steps everyday, preferably outdoors, making healthy food choices, staying hydrated and plenty of sleep. Weight loss is achieved through a combination of the above but a greater goal might be to build a stronger body and the rest will begin to fall into place for you. Have fun 🤩
like the side views to confirm correct positioning.
Thank you Janet 👍🙏😁. Enjoy xx
I'm 68. Are these exercises ok for me? I'm pretty flexible.
Hi Kathleen, great to hear from you x
Always listen to your body and if the movement and exercises feel good ( they may also feel challenging 😉) enjoy the process. I am 52 and my personal goal is to not be limited by my age , I know how my body feels and try to listen to what my body is saying. Our bodies love movement ❤️. As long as you don’t have any medical conditions that may prevent you from participating, go for it x
How many reps of each one?
Hi Liz … great to hear from you . Always listen to your body. You know how each exercise feels for you , what energy levels you have and what other activities you may have done. If you are feeling tired rest & then try and do a few more reps. If you’ve lots of energy and you feel strong , just go for it ! Count how many reps you can manage on each side, we are generally stronger on one side compared with the other. Mentally record your reps and if you keep repeating this workout and the number of reps go up, you’ll know you are building strength and stamina x
Wonderful ! 64 and not very mobile.
64 & fabulous 👌 👏 👍 x
Little steps, listen to your body, be consistent ✨️ and you'll make progress 💯. Thank you for your lovely comment ... keep up the great work xx
At the 21:14 minute mark I got a sharp pain in my heart that took a minute to subside....does that mean anything?
Hi True
Thanks for getting in touch . If you have any concerns at all about your health/heart always seek medical advice xx

Hi Tammy … i always say to firstly listen to your body and what it’s saying . If in any doubt stop. Seek medical advice if you are unsure xx

Hi … thank you for your comment.
Pilates is for everyone & that’s one of the reasons I love it so much. Regardless of age, gender, size , ability there are Pilates movements and exercises that will work for everyone. We all just need to find a way of exercise that works for us as individuals that we can enjoy and sustain x
