Thankyou! I have found that this progressive system is the best way to build clients (and my) strength & technique and also the best way to build regular clients. When they have a structure that scales they have a sense of accomplishment when progressing and you can feel your strength building rather than just random exercises which are hit and miss for clients.
Nell, I want to again thank you for your sharing, caring work. Tomorrow I turn 75 years old and I am stronger and more flexible than I have ever been. Sasha
Hello Nell, I just found your channel and i am loving it, I am a pilates instr from the Netherlands and you help me with my own technique and keep me fit in this crazy times. Also you give me a lot of inspiration for the workouts with my clients. Thank you
Hello Carola! thank you so much for your comment, it’s made my day. My passion is teaching teachers so I am over the moon you have found my channel a good resource. So important that we, as Instructors keep up our personal practice. Nx
Hi Diana. Levels 7-12 will be available on my website www.nellh.tv at the end of this year. The plan was always to give people enough time to progress and embody Levels 1-6 before getting into the advanced stuff. My concern was if i released the advanced levels people would jump straight to them which undermines the whole progressive strategy. It takes many years of consistent practice to progress through the Pilates Method properly so wanted to honour that. Im so happy to hear you have loved Levels 1-6! Cant wait for you to start the 7-12 journey...its super fun and hard!!
Thanks Liliana. Yes, the leg work will definitely build your strength for cycling along with the hip and thigh stretches (really important to stretch your thighs and hamstrings) Keep up the good work 🚴♀️💪🏼
Great workout enjoyed the class. Am an instructor. Would love it if you could slow it down to allow breath more. I had to pause many times and felt rushed in my movement. Look forward to taking more classes from you.
Thanks Jacquelyn. From one instructor to another. I agree with your comment. In settings you can change the speed so may I suggest you slow it down to accommodate for your pace. Let me know how you go. I really appreciate your feedback. Nx
First time doing a workout of yours. This was very challenging, had to skip over some of the heavier core work as I am recovering from an abdominal tear. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Hi Lola. Great you are working out and from your comment I would suggest you start at my Level 1 workout and if you can get thru all those exercises and not be too sore the next day, then move on to level 2. Do that full workout and once again, if you can get through all the exercises and not be too sore the next day then move up. If you get to a level (say level 2 or 3) and it’s challenging, stay on that level until you can get thru it with ease. This way you are building your strength gradually. Pilates is a systematic way of body conditioning. Build up slowly and gradually and the sky is the limit. Let me know how you go. Keep up the good work 💪🏼You got this 🤸🏻♀️
I am loving working through your workouts, I am learning so much as a new instructor from you on cues for correct positioning and muscle engagement. Will you be finishing the last 6 work outs in the series of 12? I am looking forward to them!
I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying the series Caitlin, I love sharing how I work with other instructors. I will be finishing the series and will let you know when it’s available.
Hi Nell, love your workouts but could you please add the link for the PDFs for them - I only have them for workouts 1 and 2. Thank you. Can't wait for your next workout - and also some more Wunda chair workouts. :):)
Thank you so much for your feedback. Yes I totally agree I could be better at timing. I’m learning on the job so really appreciate your input. When I do videos that are fast I just pause it and complete what I want to complete and then resume from there. I’m a pilates teacher not a video editor but I’m trying!!! 🤣🤗🥰
Too fast between movements as there is not enough time to set up. Not enough info on feet and body position BEFORE commencing the movement. I know it is not for beginners but some modification options would be great Tough workout and I enjoyed it
Thanks for your comment Robyn, at the end of it you say your enjoyed the workout so thats fantastic! When I practice this workout I pause the video and set myself up etc then resume playing it. Your can also slow your videos down in your TH-cam settings. All the best.
Did you mean Moving Mad Minute Theresa? If it hurt your back focus on really tucking your tail under and contracting your buttocks. Keep both feet on the footbar (don’t do the single leg version like in the video) Try that and see if it’s better. Let me know how you go. Nx
I have one comment/question sort of. For the first exercises your rhythm is fast…and it doesn’t seem to be a ‘cardio’ dedicated session. Pilates rhythm for this kind of exercise as far as I know si slow, control and focused breathing 😊 Is this how you intended to have them? I appreciate the diversity of your channel and the execution overall 💪🏻🙌
Thank you for your comment/question. Totally valid point. As we progress, one of the challenges is to be able to maintain our control and breathing whilst moving faster. That is the challenge....being able to connect, control, engage and maintain all that whilst moving at a rapid speed. Pace/speed is just one of the many challenges you can add as we become more advanced practitioners....spring tension variations is another challenge we can play with. You can slow the videos down in your settings on youtube if that suites you better but when I am doing these videos, sometimes I will pause the video and complete the reps and then resume playing when i'm ready. I hope this helps and please reach out with any other questions you may have. Keep up the good work! 🙏🏼💪🏼🤸🏼♀️
Hi Debbie. Sorry for delayed response. I missed this message some how. My supplier - PilatesEquip - makes boxes. You could buy them from SOTT or Balanced Body brands too. It’s called a Reformer Box. Great investment. Good luck.
Hi Nell, I did my first class with you and I love it , I want to know the brand of the Pilates machine you are using in your videos . I want to start saving for one . Thanks
@@NellHoess My feet have gotten so much better in 3 months of doing reformer pilates. My plantar fascia seems to be getting better. Usually I have to get a cortizone shot in my heel 2-4 times a year. Not fun at all, but the reformer and Nells workouts have helped my feet but also my whole body! Love how pilates works all parts of the body including the neck! Thank you Nell!
I love how you have structured your videos. Thank you!

What an awesome workout and instructor, I have never felt better!!!

Hi Nell, do you have a membership to access levels 7 - 12 on the reformer as I've loved levels 1 - 6 ❤️❤️❤️

Great sequence. Really challenged.
JA Cooney I’m thrilled you liked the sequencing and found it challenging. Keep up the good work.
Great video. It was not quite loud enough with my room fan blowing air around. Can you increase the volume on your end for future videos? Thanks!
Thanks Jessica. I'll see what I can do regarding volume. Thanks for the feedback and keep up the good work!
Beautiful class! I am a cyclist and I am trying to improve my endurance. I fill that this kind of workout will help me a lot. Thanks!

Love this series! What's your ETA for levels 7-12?
I’m happy to hear you like the series. I am not entirely sure how long for the 7-12.

I’m happy to hear you like the workouts. The links are in the descriptions...let me know how you go.
I love the exercises but I need more time to complete each set. You say do 6-8 of those and then immediately transition to a new exercise.

Zoomed of the plank work hurt my lower back...think I ought to move back a few levels!

Fantastic Carolina. The brand I use is PilatesEquip but STOTT and Balanced Body are also good brands.
What's about the feet ? They are tensed!
Hi Lili. Yes, we activate the feet to strengthen them and integrate the whole body.

One day I will be able to straighten my legs. My hamstrings are very tight.
Hahaha...slow and steady wins the race! Stretching your hamstrings each day even just for 10 mins will make a huge difference.
