I started doing pilates 5 years ago and I never knew about all these basics.. At one stage when I was the strongest, my abs popped out in not-the-most-flattering way, so this was SO helpful in realising why that was, and understanding the correct positioning!
Hi Kim I have been having problems with my SI joint on my right hand side and has caused several issues with my lower back, glutes, hip area and groin. Can you recommend a work out which will help and give me a fu body work out please? I have started with the beginners but not sure how to progress. Thanks Ellen
Hey Ellen, have you tried my full body pilates that I upload 2 x a week.? It’s 45 mins and it really does do top to toe. See what you think. It’s the playlist 45min intermediate pilates or just look at most recent uploads, good luck Kim x
I can't seem to get the right positioning for the exercises on the side. I kept feeling it strongly in my outer thigh and no matter how I tried to alter my position I couldnt seem to target the right muscles.
That's tough Sarah, Have a look at the playlists on the channel this one is for glutes. :th-cam.com/video/gid1kgAyDzM/w-d-xo.html Might be worth looking through these and try all my different descriptions. alternatively a 1:1 with me could help to discover why - if you're not local I could do it on zoom. my email is kimsahaphysio@gmail.com Lastly I just released a fully guided fitness course. it may be good for you kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/get-fit-with-kim-saha
I also really enjoy the way you explain the theory behind the positions and moves! I still feel like I'm not sure if I'm always getting that pelvic floor activation, so I'm staying at the lower levels. With practice, will it strengthen so that when I do move up to the harder levels, the outer abdominals won't bulge out? Is that sort of the gauge?
Absolutely perfect. Yes you’ve got it. Glad you like the explanations. Stay put and keep trying the harder ones but don’t get too stressed if it bulges a little sometimes pushing through is needed if it feels it’s taking too long. Good luck x
Hi Kim :-) I've had a couple of visits to an NHS physio about the pain in my middle left hand side of my hip. I've been given the basics for pelvic floor exercises using pilates and I've been doing 11 basic exercises for almost 8 weeks now and I can tell that my pelvic floor is getting stronger. I've been advised by my physio to start to do your exercises two days a week as an alternative to my own NHS basic ones that I have been given. I think your video is great and just what I need. I am not sure how long it will be before the discomfort in my hip improves. After doing this video, how long should I do it for and which videos should I do from here please, is there a certain order to follow? Thanks.
Hi lee, It’s hard to know what’s going on without seeing you but this video is educational mostly so you could do with the beginners pilates series. That’s 3x10 mins. You’ll find them by googling Kim saha beginners pilates. Start with these and do one every day. Maybe after a while you can do all 3. I have a progressive workout series that could help you… get fit with Kim saha, here’s the link. kimsaha.thinkific.com/courses/get-fit-with-kim-saha Email me on kimsahaphysio@gmail.com for a few days free trial. This’ll get you back on track. Kim
@@KimSaha thank you very much. With regards to the exercises such as the scissors level one exercises and leg slides etc what happens with the pelvic floor during the exercise, I just need to confirm. Thanks

@@KimSaha thank you very much. With regards to the exercises such as the scissors level one exercises and leg slides etc what happens with the pelvic floor during the exercise, I just need to confirm. Thanks
It’s a cue rather than something you need to continually think about so you squeeze then you think mainly about the exercise after that.
@@KimSaha So you just squeeze once for all the scissor exercise not on and off per each leg moved? Thanks.
Squeeze the whole time
