This was a HOT Pilates workout in my warm house! lol. Could do me a big favor for future videos?? When you start into the reps can you say how many counts we are doing? Like if you can say right off the bat...20...10....etc! This just helps mentally how long to hang on for! Thanks so much :)
Nice!! I can definitely try to do that, my goal is usually to do 15-20 of each rep, though sometimes when I’m doing the workout my body is giving out after 10 or I might not be feeling the exercise enough so I go longer. So I kind of base the reps off of how hard or easy the moves are at the time but like I said my goal is usually 15-20reps so if you do any of my workouts that are up, mentally prepare for 15-20 😊💪
@@PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis Ok that's great to know! Thanks so much! All you Pilates ladies on TH-cam are very inspiring! THANK YOU AND KEEP IT UP!!!
Such an amazing workout! You’re a wonderful teacher, and very motivating. The time went by really fast during this class. I was engaged the whole time. Thank you! 💗
You’re so welcome!!! I haven’t done it to all the videos yet because it take some time. I did it on the most popular ones and all the new ones. Eventually I’ll add them to all the workouts 😊
Holy f*ing $h*t that was HARD! I LOVED IT!!! Don’t think I’ve ever cursed that much on a reformer before 😂 I’m not gonna be able to sit tomorrow!… thank you! 😁👍
Thanks so much! I got certified through BASI (Body Art and Science International) it’s a great program and it’s world wide. After I got certified I just took other people’s classes and practiced myself a lot seeing what exercises I liked or didn’t 😊
You're welcome! My reformer is made by a company called Merrithew, it's a Canadian company. My machine is the V2max reformer plus and I got the bundle, which includes the box, platform and the longer platform to convert machine into cadillac/tower. Here is the link to what I have, but all the reformers they have a great! www.merrithew.com/shop/ProductDetail/ST01083_V2-Max-Plus-Reformer-Bundle?Currency=USD&gclid=CjwKCAiA7dKMBhBCEiwAO_crFJR_HjL8DK3Wke_IndSuV4hqpk7ep9_SLj6s2RwR84wBxDZVjKdfqBoCVJgQAvD_BwE
Some one else said that recently. I honestly haven’t done this one in a really long time cause it was one of the first workouts I made on TH-cam. I designed the class for a private client of mine that only liked doing glutes and abs, so that’s probably why this one was particularly hard. There are a ton of other workouts on the channel that aren’t as hard. 😊
Haha yeah the music is not the greatest, that’s why all the newer videos don’t have the music. I had to use music that was copy right free and the options weren’t the best. At least the workout makes up for it though, hopefully 😊
les miracles accomplis par la pratique régulière en institut du reformer, sous contrôle d'une monitrice experte, une heure par semaine, sont stupéfiants : plus de maux de dos ou de bassin, équilibre bien meilleur, etc. malgré mes 80 ans passés !!!
Thats amazing!!! Pilates is a wonderful form of exercise to keep our bodies healthy for a long time! And you're proof that regular pilates practice can keep you going!
Yes, there are a few reasons your back would hurt. Typically when someone says they feel it in their back and not their glutes/hamstrings, it’s because there are lifting their hips using their ribs and back instead of their hamstring and hips. You always want to be able to see your pelvic bone when you lift your hips, if you can’t see it then typically your ribs and stomach are arching, which is a no no. Next time you do bridges, don’t lift your hips as high, try keeping the upper and mid back on the mat so just the tailbone it lifting slightly and focus more on tucking the pelvis and squeezing the hamstring and glutes. Bridges do also strengthen the back, so it could be the lower back muscles just getting strengthened but typically it’s the first scenario
@@TaylorQuince19493 That could help, if you try it that way, just make sure you don't lift your hips higher than your stomach and you are keeping the mid/upper part of your back on the box.
Bien bien. Gracias. Tengo artrosis de cadera y 74 años. También tengo osteoporosis. Este plan es maravilloso para mí. Sudo bastante y eso es grandioso para mí. No uso las bandas. estoy muy feliz por encontrarte.
I used google translate for this: ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Me alegro de que hayas encontrado mi canal y muy feliz de que mis entrenamientos te estén ayudando!
Hi, I am confused with the use of the reformer. I've never used a reformer before and going to my first class soon, but I'm baffled that it seems by these videos on youtube people are straightening their legs fully on the reformer but does this not lock your knee? Thank you if you reply to provide clarity. I just don't want do anything my injure myself
There are many exercises on the reformer where you will straighten the legs fully, but the movement is slow as you push out so you aren’t locking the legs quickly. Instead of thinking about locking the legs I think of squeezing tiny quads muscles and glutes. But if you are taking a class the instructor should come around and correct your form
Hola. Para cuidar tus rodillas, cuando extiendas las piernas no lo hagas totalmente. Deja un pequeño espacio como dos cm. Para tus rodillas. O mejor explicado, no hagas extensión total de la rodilla, reservate un 3%. importante es que las manos y la columna estén bien pegaditos a la plataforma. Yo tengo artrosis y me protejo así. Saludos desde cali
@@marianancyospinacardona5048 I couldn't find your other post about where you asked where I got my reformer. Its made by a company in Canada called Merrithew. This is the companies website: www.merrithew.com/
My machine is from a company called Merrithew. I have the Merrithew V2 max plus reformer. But they have several different reformer options. www.merrithew.com/shop/pilates-reformers
Yes for this specific workout, several of the exercises could be done with resistance bands instead of the machines but on some of the exercises if you used a resistance band it might move up the leg so this machine functionally works better and other workouts on the channel you wouldn’t be able to do the same exercises with only bands.
its a great workout but i would say for it to be really effective you do need the strap, i know you say you dont but then the video kinda focuses on that alot.
I definitely agree that it is way more effective to have the band! I still mention that people could do that workout because I don’t want to deter someone anyone if they don’t have the prop at the moment or if someone is a beginner.
Your wrist were in pain because you put all your weight there. You have to push the place you put your hands on in order to win the gravity. I found that workout routine excellent
@Mary.D.A I'm a Pilates instructor so I understand gravity and how the body works, but thanks for assuming you know why my wrists hurt. I wouldn't ask my clients to hold this position this long either as its very common for this to be uncomfortable.
Glad you enjoyed the workout! Yes I actually stopped putting music on all the newer videos. This video happened to be one of my first ones so I was figuring out what people liked and didn’t like. But appreciate the suggestions! 😊
Can’t please everyone, but o appreciate it. So boring without and can’t stream both on the phone. Most instructors are without music and so I dig yours
