Thanks Donna, you’re my favorite exercise instructor I’ve ever found! I love your accent, but more importantly I love your attitude! Your realness is so relatable and makes me feel seen and encouraged, even though you are obviously a very fit and lovely woman you acknowledge when the exercise is ‘spicy’! 🌶️ 😆 I love pilates the most out of all the exercises as well, kinda sad I never tried it til my 30s! Better late than never though, I have seen myself get results fast and feel better and stronger. Thanks for letting us have the invaluable resource of your knowledge and instruction for free! You’re a hero! 🎉
What an awesome message… thank you fir your kind words and sharing your journey!!! Delighted you’ve jumped into the challenge …. Absolutely 💯 better late than never, I love that Pilates is for everyone !!! Xx
This one was spicy. You make me laugh and I have fun. I stumbled across your channel and did some random videos. I love that you have started a program. I know there probably some I missed but I truly enjoy your classes
Well done 👏 That’s often the way, we are not made equal and often it’s more challenging on one side than the other. It’s always good to learn new things about yourself xx
Thank you so much for the challenge! It's the first time in years that I bother to exercise. This last video has me frustrated. I don't know how to engage my glutes, so I compensate with my quads... my physio says that my glutes are there just for show 😅 Any tips?❤
Firstly huge well done … delighted you have jumped into this new year with the bar challenge… be v proud of yourself xx It might be worth doing some glute bridges to activate your glutes before you begin… using a band just above your knees can also aid in isolating the muscles… then start this or similar workouts x Move slow and think about where the movement is coming from & keep checking the position of your pelvis xx
Really enjoying this Pilates bar and your challenge! You make me laugh with sone of your comments too. I love your personality. Really helps me engage :)
The last few days have made me realize that there are muscles existing that I didn't know existed! I know that because I'm hurting in these exact places! 😂
Please keep listening to your body … if an exercise is causing you pain rather than muscular engagement then I recommend stopping. There are so many workouts to choose from it’s 💯 fine to skip the ones that don’t feel good x x
Hi, Donna. Don’t worry, I listen to my body….thats how I knew I would need to revisit this one. I cried with frustration really, but I only did what I could - which turned out to be not as much as I would have liked. However, my muscles around my hip are definitely strengthening so I know I will be able to do this session in the future. Thank you so much for your lessons. 🙌

Great job! Sounds like you worked hard! Enjoy all those feels x
This one, for me, was a difficult challenger (due to the hip obviously) and I actually cried at one point. But I will do the routine again!

Day 6 done!! The hardest so far...I think I said "God" a thousand time 😅
I think I heard you 😂😂!! You hit it done 🙌👍💪… one day at a time 💯❤️ xx
Day 6 round 2 done😊 It was still hard for my legs🫣😁
Awesome commitment!! Hard but I am sure you are getting stronger 💪🙌👍 xx
While this is hard and had to stop felt good I could achieve this
Yes 🙌 that must have felt good !! 💪💪💪💥💥💥💯💯💯🤗🤗🤗
Can you suggest alternatives if you have no bar or do workouts without the bar. I love side lying.
You can absolutely do the whole workout without a bar and still feel like you have fired up your muscles xx
Enjoy xx
I’m here for my day-6 🎉
Fabulous 👍💯🙌x
Enjoy 😉
Beautiful Donna ❤
Enjoy xx

Couldn’t agree more xx
Day 6: check!
Awesome !! Loving your consistency. Favourite so far?? X
