I have been doing this workout consistently since January. And by saying consistently, I mean 3 to 4 times a week from January until now (mid May) and it has helped me tremendously. Especially the mobility and strength of my very troublesome hips where I have bursitis and arthritis in addition to lumbar spine and sacral arthritis. It has helped me more than physical therapy or chiropractic! I am beyond grateful to Rachel for
offering her classes for free here on YT because she is changing my life for the better and it feels amazing. I have a background in Ballet and as such I can say that her form is superb. I trust her immensely. Love & thanks ~ Bonnie in New Mexico🙏🏼💖✨

[@annegraves5875]

The older I get the more I love the standing Pilates Rachel. I need to keep my legs working well so I can walk around my green areas every day to keep my strength ongoing in my older body. So glad I found you at your earliest beginnings, thank you so much 🙏🌻🌷

[@paulwebb312]

Thanks again Rachel. Paul & Pauline 😁

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you so much Anne. So pleased you enjoy these standing pilates sessions. Well done for taking great care of yourself ❤ Keep up the great work xxx

[@kathlenewang539]

Fantastic! I'm recovering from a car accident. This was just the ticket for me to say hello to my sweet, traumatized body. Moving releases fear. I know this but it's been too scary to move my body until this. Thank you.

[@dianemacfaden6060]

I did this routine in my sunny balcony on holiday in Gran Canaria as I couldn’t fit my mat in my luggage! Really lovely to have time to do Pilates in the sun in the middle of January

[@2emmss]

I'm surprised that I haven't done this workout before now. Great for balance!

[@Trudloops]

I loved this short and sweet workout. When I feel like I have no time for a workout, and I'm stressing over it, I can always find a workout to do on your channel. Thanks Rachel.

[@josianeobrien56]

I tune in everyday whether for 10min or 40 mins just love your classes 👏

[@mariannegreiman3308]

Thank you Rachel for these workouts. I look forward to doing them each day.

[@suedepinto2016]

Terrific after the spinal mobility session, I love these short, “a la carte” videos we can mix and match, depending on energy, time, fitness level- thanks for working so effectively to give us fitness options that work for us!🤗💛🧡💙💚

[@harlanorman615]

Love this! Works on my balance and strength. Always have 10 minutes!

That was terrific, just what I needed, and surprisingly, my whole upper body and arms felt quite worked as well- tense maybe!

[@victoriagallipani5753]

This was so good for balance as well as leg workout. Thank you.

[@barbaradar1389]

[@anntews6325]

Am loving your workouts. I need a lot of practice on my balance for sure. I always have to hang on to a table lol. Needed something short and sweet this morning and this just fit perfectly.

[@suedepinto2016]

Thanks so much, exactly the kind of balance work I need, short enough to fit in even on “tired” days! I hope all is well with you and your family.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you Sue 🤗😘

[@susanclingenpeel3338]

[@tinali5309]

Thank you very much!

[@pamelajoy6037]

Thank-you Rachel!
I believe this 10 minute workout done with your 10 minute morning warm up along with my Part lll improvisational dance work out is the perfect way to start my day.
I have a workout I do on the floor at the end of the day which I also created out of years of dance.
I do it to let go of the day and stay toned.
If you have a podcast that I can add to that workout your suggestion would be much appreciated!
Thank-you ❤

[@alita1821]

My first time ever doing pilates...let's just say I'm super out of shape. Over 300lbs and been super depressed from being laid off last year. Just received a job offer and realized that I wouldn't be able to fit into my work clothes after gaining so much weight. I look forward to having you as part of my journey to get back my body. Thank you for your grace and soft personality.

[@loytoco]

Best wishes for everything!

I am intrigued by your mat with the lines and diamonds - imagine this is to help with lining up properly…Am I able to purchase one anywhere in the UK? Have subscribed and plan to do more of your workouts😅

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Absolutely Liz. I got this from a company called Corkspace- it is planet friendly as made from cork and has those beautiful gold lines to help with alignment. This is the one I have: corkspace.co.uk/products/gold-align-cork-yoga-mat 🤗

I have been doing Lindsay Jackson's Pilates workout for 20 years, both Essentials and the for men DVD's. I turned 69 and I think it is time for something different could you suggest one or two of your 1 hour long routines i might try please? I do a half hour weight training twice a week and 1 hour Pilates once a week but I am wiling to change this up. Thanks

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hello William and welcome to my channel, it's great to have you on board. Reading about you and your fitness experience I'd like to suggest these for you. Do let me know if they work level wise. You've got lots of expereince so I have taken that into account and added a few options so you can change things up. Best wishes, Rachel 😊
