Struggled to get going today, woke up to the news that someone I know, passed away unexpectedly yesterday, he was just 56 ! Same age as me …. I soon realised that the reason I started this challenge, started running again (not great distances) and started tracking my food and drink, was to get strong, get fitter, get healthier and live life to the full - no one knows what is around the corner. Thank you Rachel for these workouts, they really mean a lot 😘
Wow I am so sorry to hear that. And yes that is a great way to think about it.. it’s so much more than weight loss the older we get isn’t it? Thank u for sharing with me and I hope u are doing ok
@@rachelsfitpilates thank you, and I hope you don’t mind me commenting each day, I’m kinda using you as my fitness buddy 😀 I do appreciate your responses each day.
I love coming back everyday. Thank you, Rachel❤ I loved the reformer on the mat! Congrats to everybody putting in the effort!! Hope you all have a great day.
What a day!!!! My daughter had three doc appts and I’m exhausted. It’s past 11pm and I usually began my workouts around 9pm after I put my 8month old twins to bed. And to be honest I had to force myself to get this workout done. But I’m glad I did! It was another great workout. Day 23 completed. I didn’t get around to my straight 30mins cardio. But I’m pretty sure I got in alot of cardio in from traveling to one doc office to the other 😂. Thanks Rachel for the great workouts 💪🏽💜. I’m loving my results 🙂
Day 23 complete! 🎉 So far this workout is the one I struggled the most with. The single leg/glute ones are the hardest for me, but will be doing this again soon! 😊
Day 23 done 😊 I definitely felt those fancy squats! I'm really shocked at how well my balance has gotten in just the past 23 days. When you said to try the last 3 without touching the wall, I had no idea that I would actually be able to pull it off 😊 Thank you again for these great videos!!!!
Day 23 done! I feel less and less motivated to exercise lately, it's been some hard weeks back at work, but I'm decided to finish this challenge💪💜 Thank you for the video!
Day 23! Can’t wait to finish this and start a harder challenge! As someone who is only 15 and legally blind, this is great for me, as there aren’t many safe workout opportunities around me!❤
Round 2, Day 23 done🥴😂👏🏽 this is usually a Tuesday workout, but my body has been so fatigued this week, I have been avoiding this one like the plague! The second I started to move, a smile came on face❤ I will always jumble a week, but I WILL ALWAYS get it done🎉🎉🎉
Hi, started off today with 10 minute stretching beforehand and stretching as I need to all throughout the day also before bed. What a big difference it is making.I really enjoyed this workout thank you, day 23 done n dusted! ❤
thank you🤗 rachel you rock😎💕 another awesome workout💪 stay free, safe, selfsufficient & unified✨ all praise, credit, faith, hope, truth, wisdom, trust, guidance, respect, love & glory to the Creator of the Universe🌈
Thank you, Rachel! I am truly enjoying your 28-day challenges. I am recovering from low back issues, and these workouts are making me feel stronger and move better. Due to my lower back issues, I am really struggling with dropping one leg at a time when in bridge position and one leg in TBT as I dont want to risk it! Can you suggest a modification? Thank you ❤
I was a bit worried doing these particular moves. I know my form in my lower back was too arched due to my muscles not yet being strong enough - but I kept tying! Go all of us!!!
Day 23 ✅, the first part with squats felt awkward for me because I sprained my foot last year and it didn’t heal properly. I don’t have the same range of motion and I can’t bend that foot/leg the same way. It’s super frustrating but this has nothing to do with how awesome you are.. just not sure how effective I was during that time considering the injury.
Yes absolutely! Some are definitely more challenging but I put those in there for that exact reason! It’s fun to see what your body can do as you stay consistent with Pilates practice ☺️☺️
Thank you for putting these workouts together! I just wrapped up and I'm going to start over again and maybe do two workouts on the days there are shorter ones, try to get better form with current weights, and maybe go up on weights. ❤
Aw thank u so much that’s so awesome you listened! I had a great time talking with Juliann ☺️ so glad u enjoyed the workout too, thank u for your comment!
Day 23 done 🎉 Not sure if this was the correct workout for the 28 day challenge that I have been doing since there was no wall exercises. I enjoyed it anyway (albeit a lil hard, but also rewarding)
I’m glad u enjoyed it! And yes this is meant to be in there.. I wanted to give people a break from the wall bridging and work the legs and body a bit differently! ☺️
Rachel, Do you have any recommendations for challenges to lose weight, that is safe for the visually impaired? My mental health took a turn when I became blind, I gained a lot of weight. Hoping for ideas, a challenge like this to lose weight ❤
In terms of exercise challenge and weight loss. You do need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight so it required changing some habits with diet. I can’t give diet advice but it could be something to speak to your doctor or dietitian about
Day 23 done. I didn’t really get the full defect of the workout because I always forget to change the position of my hair! No low buns ever! It threw me off but I still pushed through. #NoMoreLowBuns

Ugh day 23 done yesterday it me 55yo lady I was running late so I didn't comment ...I will say the bridge with one leg was a hard in the early days and I did almost all of them!! See u in a few for day 24!
Halfway my thought bubble was "Why am I doing this?" I couldn't do the challenging isometric exercises at the end 😢 Do I repeat Day 23 until I can do the hard parts or do I move on to Day 24?
I'm doing this one today. I've tried all sorts of floor exercises but get nauseous every time! My head gets woozy and I feel terrible. Any suggestions to deal with that issue?

I' m a beginner, but I like this very much. You are doing a great job!

Wow that’s great!! So happy u are noticing a change!
Day 23 done. I can't believe the difference I have noticed in just 28days. Thank you
Wow that’s awesome!!
Day 23 completed 🎉! Thank you Rachel!!
Great job!
Thank you, Rachel! I am truly enjoying your 28-day challenges. I am recovering from low back issues, and these workouts are making me feel stronger and move better.
Due to my lower back issues, I am really struggling with dropping one leg at a time when in bridge position and one leg in TBT as I dont want to risk it! Can you suggest a modification? Thank you ❤
I would try with feet in the ground for the one!
Thank you! ❤
Life got in the way there for a couple days but I’m back and ready to finish this thing strong!
so glad u are back!
that was probably my fav class of the series so far ❤
great!!
Day 23 is done; whoa this was a great workout very challenging; I’m surprised how well is 65 y/o did! Thx!!
Great job!
This was sooo hard but also felt rewarding. I’ll have to come back after another 23 days and see if it’s easier 😂 def getting those “Pilate shakes”
Day 23 done 👍
Thankyou Rachel 🫶
Thank you for the exercises. I started to wake up earlier and do them before work 💪🏻. Love the progress.
That’s awesome good for u! Perfect way to start the day!!
Oh my. Nice workout. Struggled with the raised leg bridge. 😊 I made it though 🎉
I was a bit worried doing these particular moves. I know my form in my lower back was too arched due to my muscles not yet being strong enough - but I kept tying! Go all of us!!!
This was a great way to see how much my bridges have improved since day 1. Day 23 done 🎉
wow thats great!
Day 23 my body is progressing. No weight loss, but I can see my stomach slim as clothes feel loose.
That’s great! It’s totally possible to shrink even with no weight loss especially if you’re resistance training like this.. it’s a good thing🙂
Great videos. Wonder if you could put Day # at front of title and this would help when searching each morning for correct workout. Thank you 😊
Done new to wall Pilates did 50 min combo class plus ran 2 miles a great finish to my workouts❤️💪💕
Wow Linda good for you!! What a great day of movement! I love the idea of combining workouts like this and cardio. So awesome 👏🏽👏🏽
Day 26 completed 🎉 I feel good, my flexes have gotten better and I can stay flexed for longer periods at a time 😊
Amazing!
Day 23 done! Thank you!
Great job!
Day 23 done .... sure different doing those bridges than in the wall pilates workouts .... thanks again :)
haha isn't it??
This was such a great workout! I just love how such small movements can get me sweating! Thank you Rachel!
😊😊 thanks so much Rebecca! So glad u liked it. Yes this one got me too.. the next day even my ribs hurt from the side exercises haha
Day 23 ✅, the first part with squats felt awkward for me because I sprained my foot last year and it didn’t heal properly. I don’t have the same range of motion and I can’t bend that foot/leg the same way. It’s super frustrating but this has nothing to do with how awesome you are.. just not sure how effective I was during that time considering the injury.
You showed up and hopefully it helped give u an opportunity to move in some new range u haven’t done in a while. Great job!
Day 23 is done. I almost wanted to skip, because I got such a rough night's sleep last night. But I'm glad I stayed on track!
Great job! I’m glad you got through this
I hv ruematoid arthritis and this is the only exercise that doesn’t hurt me or cause any stress
That’s great!
Day 23, finished. Thanks!!
Great job!
This is the second workout of yours that I have done. I'm really enjoying them. Thanks for making these videos!

Haha great job for showing up! Thanks and same to you
Really enjoyed this one Rachel 😊 A few moves I found challenging but looking forward to see how my body progresses each week. Jen ✨️
Yes absolutely! Some are definitely more challenging but I put those in there for that exact reason! It’s fun to see what your body can do as you stay consistent with Pilates practice ☺️☺️
DAY 23 ✅🔥✅🔥✅🔥✅ WHAT A STRUGGLE OMG LOVED IT THO 💪💪
Loved this workout today!

I would move on! This is just an intro to some odd my other workouts if ppl like mat pilates.. keep going, you got this!
@@rachelsfitpilates thank you for the guidance 😇
Get workout! Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it 🥰 thanks for your comment!
Day 23 ✅
❤❤❤
I'm doing this one today. I've tried all sorts of floor exercises but get nauseous every time! My head gets woozy and I feel terrible. Any suggestions to deal with that issue?
Hm maybe propping yourself up with a pillow? I would consult with your doctor too
19:37 Trying to do one of your videos every day. I’m on day 4.
Wow that is great!! Good for you 🙌🏽🙌🏽
My hand strained and hurt from side leg exercises with bent legs, can it be corrected? thanks
u can lie flat next time instead of propped up on the forearm
Done!
