I can't believe I already made it to Day 8! Rachel, what I love about your challenge is it's truly beginner-friendly 🥰 That means you know just the right level of challenge for a beginner such that we don't end up having body pains after doing Day 1 which becomes a deterrent for moving on to Day 2 and the succeeding days. You also know what day to do the light routine like stretches which surprisingly removes any bodyache I feel before starting the exercise. Thank you so much! ❤
Day 8 complete! As a blind person who finds it hard to work out, as it isn’t always safe, this is amazing! Something that is safe for me to complete without worry!
Your videos have gotten me to start something I've been wanting to do for a long time but have been avoiding. Thank you for what you do and for helping me ease back into fitness. Sending love!
I love to hear that thank you so much!! 🥹thank u for taking the time to tell me, I really appreciate it and proud of you for starting! Pilates is such a great way to move your body and build strength, I have loved what its done for my body and I genuinely look forward to Pilates workouts.. I hope you experience the same! 🥰
That’s amazing!!! So glad to hear that. I’m glad u like it’s so much. I have a great video coming out on Sunday that’s longer, just under 40 min, I think you’ll really like it!

Day 8. Great full body workout! Feeling it EVERYWHERE today. I’m combining these workouts with a daily walk, as well as intermittent fasting. I weighed myself today for the first time in a week. I’m down 3 lbs. Great start. I know not every week will be as much, but I’ll be happy as long as there is no weight gain. Thank you!
Idk what day I’m on … but it’s Thursday of the second week! And I have abs 😅 so Yayy! Just need to incorporate more cardio and I think I’m gonna really like the way my body takes to this. Thanks for these videos!!
Wowww yes!! That’s so awesome! And yes cardio is a great addition to this plan. I aim for cardio twice a week or try to walk when I can! 😊 thanks for your comment!
Day 27 done and 1 more day to go!!! Thank you so much for providing these videos online. Your workout videos have been really easy to follow and for the first time I have been consistently working out without feeling it is a struggle, so really thank you so so much!

Day 20 nailed it!!!! Can’t believe I’ve been so consistent - especially for someone who doesn’t enjoy exercise - I’ve shown up everyday!!! Thank you!!!❤
All done and feeling good after a day of feeling down. Perimenopausal and feeling bloated during a missed period I know it’s the hormones and it makes me feel like I’m not achieving anything….however I finding I’m getting better at some of the exercises and feeling stronger 😊 positivity - thanks Rachel for this 😁

Having a difficult time greeting back to exercise. I feel that my body is asking to start moving again. I am starting to have body ache and I have not been exercising in 4 yrs, perimenopause is starting to take a toll. I like to know your best video to get started. Thank you.
Everyone has a different level of low back arch to start.. mine is quite arched so if I don’t tuck under, my low back hurts too. I demonstrate how to do it in this TH-cam short. Hope it helps! th-cam.com/users/shortsZVSNuwd5q2s?feature=share
I love your videos! The exercises are very effective without being overwhelming. I feel great since I started. What would be the best way to proceed after completing the 28 days challenge? A huge thank you ❤

Day 28..,, Yayyyy. I made it and recommended it to all my friends. I am stronger as a result of this challenge. I get up at 5 or 5:30 and since it is wintertime, it is perfect. Thank you! Doing this from Japan.
Yours are the 2nd 28 day wall pilates program I have tried. Yours is superior. Your voice is perfect, your instructions are clear, your comments are pleasant. I WANT to do your workouts .

Day 8 done 55 yo heavy but stronger lady ...I bought ankle weights and omg 🥴 but I need all the help I can get 😅...humbling yet I now have my goal of the controlled full sit up...not close but I am going as far as I can with overhead arms without yanking myself forward each one trying to go a little farther.. sometimes frustrated sometimes surprised...but definitely determined...see you tomorrow for day 9! ❤
Hi Rachel, I am really enjoying your videos and am on day 20 now. I previously tried yoga and found it hard to follow and if I am honest quite boring but your pilates sessions are execellent. When I finish the 28 days I want to focus on abs, glutes and legs (particularly inner/outer thighs) please could you suggest which of your videos or plans to use. Thanks

yess absolutely! im so so glad u loved it. this video goes over a few options for how to make it a bit more challenging the second time around: th-cam.com/video/XUqNRbeKErI/w-d-xo.html
Hi! No I eat a lot of meat. Eggs + avocado for breakfast, chicken steak or fish with vegetables and pasta or potatoes for lunch and dinner.. and usually a little chocolate each day!
Day 20 completed.. in part I am disappointed in myself for taking breaks on the other hand I’m proud I come back and go at it. I love these workouts. So easy to follow, I feel empowered when I do them bc I can complete them as someone that has never been a fan of working out. Thank you for doing this. Do you do any live zoom classes?
Iv come here to loose my mum tum it's a little sag iv lost alot of weight size 18 to a size 10 but can't get rid of my little sagbag on my tummy .fingers crossed something happens starting tommorrow .I'm going to take pictures and look in a month see if there's a difference 🥺🤞
Sorry one more question as I noticed it today - I checked and I am staying on the shoulder blades but I can’t help feeling like there’s a burn/squashing on the extra skin/flab between the blades and shoulder/neck…Is that ok?
If it’s uncomfortable it might be because of your form. You can check out this video if you haven’t watched it already: th-cam.com/video/Kzb1oJS3O6Q/w-d-xo.html
Day 8 done! I am on my monthly cycle so still would love to know if this is something that’s a-ok to continue doing or if I should wait for a couple days before doing inverted style exercises?!❤ thank you!
I’m so confused! Maybe because I’m using my phone not a laptop, so I can’t always see full titles, but I can’t find all 28 days of your challenge. If I click on this video , there are lots of videos but random, and ones not in the 28 day challenge. I did see a day 6( tomorrow for me ) but there must be an easier way of accessing?
Saving the calendar to your phone is probably the easiest way bc u can click the pictures! With an iPhone, u save it to files. rachelsfitpilates.myflodesk.com/28daywallpilatesyoutubechallenge Otherwise go to my TH-cam homepage on your phone .. scroll down to the section “Beginner 28 day wall pilates challenge (calendar link in first video)” and everything is in order by day there. I hope one of those helps!
any suggestions for preventing the shoulders from hurting while laying down doing this? all the rubbing against my layed out blanket got to me. Is it better to do it on the plain floor?
a non slip mat is best, otherwise I would try to pick a clothing material that doesn't slip as much and yes, I would bet a plain floor is better than a blanket

the breasts no I really don't think its possible. I do have a recent arm workout that can help with toning: th-cam.com/video/qwe8f0tD9mo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-clkq6itOn5jfndr
Day 8 (2 July 2024) Another late one as we have guests but thanks for a great full body work out. Sitting at my desk for too long today and this has definitely helped my back and upper arms feel like they have had a workout. Really enjoying making time in day for these work outs.
thank you🤗 rachel you rock😎 an awesome workout💪 lovin the 28 day challenge💕 stay free, safe, selfsufficient & unified✨ all praise, credit, faith, hope, truth, wisdom, trust, guidance, respect, love & glory to the Creator of the Universe🌈
Thanks Rachel🤩This is amazing workout🥰❤️I just loved it, I can hold the positions with more stability and I feel my body is relaxed and getting flexible day by day❤️🙏just loving it
Day 8 ✅ But my knees are not ok... they’re in pain all the time (not only during workout) and idk why i started to feel this knee pain after I started this 28 days workouts 😢 i am so excited about workouts but the pain in my knees scares me.. I don’t want to injure me.. I already have a lot of different pain in my multiple places lol i want to be healthy! And fit like before... ❤ i miss my old self!
I would switch to my 14 day calendar.. much gentler on the knees and is more an focused-14 Day WALL PILATES CHALLENGE- AB FOCUSED - Rachel’s Fit Pilates th-cam.com/play/PL6F8elYp4eOGn6YJ9bqNxcmopKCi0c6_a.html
@@rachelsfitpilates yeah I just saw (right after my today’s workouts) your previous replies from previous days so tomorrow I’ll start 14 days one! 🤗 if my knees hurt again I’ll just straighten my legs, today i did it many times. Bending might hurt too. Dear Rachel after having painful couple years.. and painful many many months i was so excited to meet my old version, my own authentic self.. can’t explain how i needed to little push! i am super super grateful for your videos! ❤️ greetings from Türkiye 🤗
Loving these workouts 😊 I'm thinking about buying the ankle/wrist weights, as I only have 3kg dumbbells at the moment. Do you suggest any particular weight for the bands?
I play pickleball almost everyday but really needed more. I have a lot of backpain and feel it is probably due to a weak core,l. I'm on day 5. I can barely do the routines (but do my best to do them properly)....hahha. They are tough. I'm held back especially in the beginning while my back adjusts to just lying on the mat. I feel like I need to loosen up more to subside the pain before beginning. Any stretching suggestions to help do that? I do the warm-ups in the beginning. I really liked the stretch day.
You can try this routine as a warmup! It’s not wall pilates but may get u warmed up more 10 Min Gentle Pilates Workout | 28 Day Pilates Challenge | Day 4 th-cam.com/video/dF5fy1CU698/w-d-xo.html
That’s awesome! No, I decided to go into Pilates after I had my 2nd child abt 4 years ago! I’ve always been drawn more to fitness than rehab but it’s been a great background and very complimentary to Pilates! I do keep up my license in OT though and do enjoy the continuing ed courses!
You are so very great at what you do. You have transformed my physical and mental health tremendously. Thank you so much. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
I’m joining in on the July calendar now. I’m going to do the wall Pilates instead of the 1-2-3 because I’ve been following and doing the wall Pilates for a couple of months now. After July maybe I’ll get my courage and my strength and stamina lol up enough to try some of your other workouts! Used 2 pound plus 1 pound ankle weights on the wrists and then the ankles today. Yay! Total of 3 pounds on each limb! These last 2 months working here has obviously helped me a lot. Thank you so much Rachel!
Have been loving these workouts. Could you please include distance of your hips to wall when lying on your back for about work, bridging up, etc.? Sometimes hard to know if I’m at the right distance from wall.
Enjoyed this one! I am traveling and used bands in a modified way for most of the movements. Worked well! Love the flexibility of options. Also love that I can feel my abs getting stronger! 🎉
Day 20 (14 July 2024) Feeling very tired today but managed the warmup and the workout and feeling so much more awake now - can't believe only 8 days left to go... am very proud of myself for sticking with this - thank you for all of these workouts...
The bridging, especially up and down, makes me slide away from the wall. Usually this is just annoying and doesn’t really matter, but I have really bad sunburn on my shoulder blades 😖 These workouts are really good and I am just complaining lol - going to push through it because I already missed day 8
My guess is that you’re trying to stay lifted by pushing into the wall rather than using your glutes to stay up. It improve as your glutes get stronger but it is absolutely on to put your feet on the ground and do all the bridging work that way, like a regular bridge.. you’ll still strengthen the same muscles and hopefully it will be more comfortable!
Day 20 finally done! I’ve enjoyed your workouts so much after my shift :) Im 29 but I’ve always hated being being hardly active at work and am used to moving while working in the past. Thank you!

HI Rachel, thanks so much for your classes. What ankle weight do you recommend for your classes? I wish to purchase. I am 63kg and 5.5ft tall. TIA
2lbs would be great! (I think that is around 1kg?)

hahah omg best comment ever :)

im so glad! no I don't but maybe one day!
DAY EIGHT ✅✅ long day today and still managed 😁 smashing workout tho it had my legs in bits 😆
haha great job!
Iv come here to loose my mum tum it's a little sag iv lost alot of weight size 18 to a size 10 but can't get rid of my little sagbag on my tummy .fingers crossed something happens starting tommorrow .I'm going to take pictures and look in a month see if there's a difference 🥺🤞

Hi yes I think it should not be a problem unless it’s uncomfortable for you. I have Mat workouts if you think that would suit you better
Day 20 ✅ Sweaty from this one! 🥵

Maybe because I’m using my phone not a laptop, so I can’t always see full titles, but I can’t find all 28 days of your challenge.

Man my body was not having this one today . The back of my thigh kept cramping horribly any time I tried going up
oh no! hydration can help a lot for the cramps!
what should I do if I feel it in my lower back more than my legs and glutes? what am I doing wrong?
this video may help! th-cam.com/video/Kzb1oJS3O6Q/w-d-xo.html
Round 2 day 20 the best I have felt doing this one. However is it weird to feel armpit hurt when you’re doing the single leg work ?
It could be you’re pressing your arms down to stay steady. If it’s uncomfortable I would do the single leg work with legs on the ground, not the wall
Love this! Wondering if there is more standing leg exercises to break up some of them?

DAY TWENTY 💪✅💪✅ i will admit i was extremely zoned out today but what’s a girl to do? so happy with myself for getting this far. I definitely feel stronger but don’t really see much change yet. ik for a fact the second im done this challenge ill be moving straight into the next one 🔥🔥
Thanks for these videos!! What weight do you use for ankle weights? What do you suggest?
You’re welcome! usually there is an option of 1 or 2 lbs, mine are 2!
are there good upper arm exercises to pull breasts up and decrease fat in upper arms Good glut exercises
the breasts no I really don't think its possible. I do have a recent arm workout that can help with toning: th-cam.com/video/qwe8f0tD9mo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-clkq6itOn5jfndr

But my knees are not ok... they’re in pain all the time (not only during workout) and idk why i started to feel this knee pain after I started this 28 days workouts 😢 i am so excited about workouts but the pain in my knees scares me.. I don’t want to injure me.. I already have a lot of different pain in my multiple places lol i want to be healthy! And fit like before... ❤ i miss my old self!
I would switch to my 14 day calendar.. much gentler on the knees and is more an focused-14 Day WALL PILATES CHALLENGE- AB FOCUSED - Rachel’s Fit Pilates

@@rachelsfitpilates yeah I just saw (right after my today’s workouts) your previous replies from previous days so tomorrow I’ll start 14 days one! 🤗 if my knees hurt again I’ll just straighten my legs, today i did it many times. Bending might hurt too. Dear Rachel after having painful couple years.. and painful many many months i was so excited to meet my old version, my own authentic self.. can’t explain how i needed to little push! i am super super grateful for your videos! ❤️ greetings from Türkiye 🤗
Day 19 & 20 done. Yay🎉. Getting stronger. Feeling a bit more toned. Looking forward to more!
Can't find day 21? where is this video?
Here it is 😊

Day 20! Wooooooo
Day 8 done.. let's go
I am struggling a little bit to understand. Someone who has already started please help me here. Is there 28 different exercises for each day?
Each day is a different exercise - you can do the warm up at the bottom before each. Download the PDF and then click on the day you are on.
Thanks for answering!
Loving these workouts 😊 I'm thinking about buying the ankle/wrist weights, as I only have 3kg dumbbells at the moment. Do you suggest any particular weight for the bands?
Yes I usually recommend 2lbs (so they are each 2lbs)
Thank you! 😊
I play pickleball almost everyday but really needed more. I have a lot of backpain and feel it is probably due to a weak core,l. I'm on day 5. I can barely do the routines (but do my best to do them properly)....hahha. They are tough.
I'm held back especially in the beginning while my back adjusts to just lying on the mat. I feel like I need to loosen up more to subside the pain before beginning. Any stretching suggestions to help do that? I do the warm-ups in the beginning. I really liked the stretch day.
You can try this routine as a warmup! It’s not wall pilates but may get u warmed up more 10 Min Gentle Pilates Workout | 28 Day Pilates Challenge | Day 4

@@rachelsfitpilates thank u! Very helpful!
👏👏👏can I still do this with a herniated disk?
Do u have a doctor or PT you’ve been seeing for it? I would recommend calling and asking them
How heavy are your ankle weights?
They are 2 lbs each, so when purchasing I selected 2lbs 😊
Great! I finished! Wasn't sure I was going to make it, but I did!
Day 20 done! Woo hoo! 😊
Fellow OTR and mom. Thank you for creating these videos !
That's awesome! So glad you found me. What setting do you work in?
@@rachelsfitpilates school based Occupational therapist.
@@rachelsfitpilates do you still practice?
That’s awesome! No, I decided to go into Pilates after I had my 2nd child abt 4 years ago! I’ve always been drawn more to fitness than rehab but it’s been a great background and very complimentary to Pilates! I do keep up my license in OT though and do enjoy the continuing ed courses!
Day 8 done. I used dumbbells for the arm portion. Feels good!
Day 20 thank you!
You are so very great at what you do. You have transformed my physical and mental health tremendously. Thank you so much. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
aw thank u! Im so glad :)
This is great, thanks Rachel 💖🤩
Thank you so much!! So glad u liked it, thanks for taking the time to comment 🥰
I’m joining in on the July calendar now. I’m going to do the wall Pilates instead of the 1-2-3 because I’ve been following and doing the wall Pilates for a couple of months now. After July maybe I’ll get my courage and my strength and stamina lol up enough to try some of your other workouts!
Used 2 pound plus 1 pound ankle weights on the wrists and then the ankles today. Yay! Total of 3 pounds on each limb! These last 2 months working here has obviously helped me a lot. Thank you so much Rachel!
so amazing! you are killing it!
Day 8 completed
Have been loving these workouts. Could you please include distance of your hips to wall when lying on your back for about work, bridging up, etc.? Sometimes hard to know if I’m at the right distance from wall.
Great suggestion!
Enjoyed this one! I am traveling and used bands in a modified way for most of the movements. Worked well! Love the flexibility of options. Also love that I can feel my abs getting stronger! 🎉
Great job!
Day 20 (14 July 2024) Feeling very tired today but managed the warmup and the workout and feeling so much more awake now - can't believe only 8 days left to go... am very proud of myself for sticking with this - thank you for all of these workouts...
Great job!
The bridging, especially up and down, makes me slide away from the wall. Usually this is just annoying and doesn’t really matter, but I have really bad sunburn on my shoulder blades 😖
These workouts are really good and I am just complaining lol - going to push through it because I already missed day 8
My guess is that you’re trying to stay lifted by pushing into the wall rather than using your glutes to stay up. It improve as your glutes get stronger but it is absolutely on to put your feet on the ground and do all the bridging work that way, like a regular bridge.. you’ll still strengthen the same muscles and hopefully it will be more comfortable!
Day 8 done! :) :)
Day 8! I definitely feel it today but in the best way possible
Day 20 finally done! I’ve enjoyed your workouts so much after my shift :) Im 29 but I’ve always hated being being hardly active at work and am used to moving while working in the past. Thank you!
Thank u!
