- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2022
- Join me for a 30 Minute standing pilates workout for Seniors 60+ Live! This is a full body routine to increase mobility, flexibility and strength. With exercises to ease the general aches & pains in the joints and spine that come with age, as well as exercises to help combat loss of strength, coordination and balance. The saying 'use it or lose it' is so true! Doing these exercises regularly will improve all these things and buils your strength so I am recommending you build up to doing this workout at least twice a week. I've taught these exercises to my Senior clients in London, they are ages 60- 83. Take your time and do what you can, if anything is too challenging for you right now, don't worry, just rest and come back and try again when you're ready. Take care of yourselves.
The session will be followed by a Q & A where from the comfort of your own home you can ask me questions, or just say hello whilst enjoying a nice cup of tea at a safe social distance.
If you click the Bell icon above you'll get a reminder when I'm about to go live and you'll see a chat window come up where you can send me any questions or dedications for your friends, family or for you. I love to chat so don't be shy and get involved, it's a lovely way to meet people from across the globe without leaving home. You can also make a donation for the class if you want to support me but there is no obligation as I am happy to do this for you.
Please tell all your friends, and relatives, and let's see if we can bring together Seniors from all over the world to bring some cheer, some fun and some feelgood movement. Please click the Like button and Subscribe to the channel to help me make more films just for you.
Stay safe, stay well and enjoy every moment of this day,
Take care, Rachel x

I’ve added this helpful, effective session to my absolute favorites list! These are the sessions that have helped me the most in my brain surgeries recovery- it’s taken years past the official Neuro pt (immediately after procedures) to see improvements in balance and ataxia. You just have to plug away doing some exercises every day…so grateful I found Rachel during the pandemic lockdown! Doing a few sessions a week, then increasing to daily sessions when you started putting up monthly playlists, and I’ve kept going. I switch between intermediate and beginner, gentle sessions, depending on how I’m feeling. Fatigue and balance will be lifelong, so it’s a real blessing to be able to choose from your extensive catalog of classes. You’ve improved my quality of life immeasurably!😊❤
I really appreciate these exercises! Thank you! I had a broken ankle repair last October and these are great for balance and strength!!
Early days for me (day 2). I hadn't realised how much my balance had deteriorated but I'm going to persevere. Thanks.
Omg Rachel its almost 2 years since I was lucky enough to find your INCREDIBLE PILATES VIDEOS on line…you have been a life saver to all of us during this Covid journey‼️ having just passed my 81st BD and thanks to you I’m able to maintain my balance and chore strength with some modifications you suggest along the way. Your compassionate & uplifting personality, amazing attention to detail & variety of classes is incredible! You have created such a wonderful world wide extended family and Kerwin & Boo are the frosting on your cake. Thank you from this senior Californian 🥰
Happy PIlatesversary, Yvonne, and a happy belated birthday! I'm glad to have you as a Pilates buddy.
@@LilyMarsWrites Thank you for the kind wishes Lily. Rachel has been such an INCREDIBLE DIPLOMAT for us all during these extensive difficult times. Such a lovely international family of support❣️
‘
I’m from Washougal Washington USA. YOU ARE FOR SURE TRYING MY JOINTS. IM TRYING. 75 years young.
😍 i am 62 and just joined
A great workout for seniors Rachel :)
The balance and co-ordination work was really good .
Thank you for your wonderful workouts - they are much appreciated!
Love your routines. It has really helped. Thank you.
Thank you so much for good videos, I have looked around for something that would get me started in an easy way, and I am so glad I found you ❤ I have improved my strength and balance and will continue to follow you 😊 I am 60 now an don´t like going to the gym, it is too noisy and I don’t feel that the younger pt’s are understanding enough of how it is to age.
You're terrific. I'm 81 and need this so much after many surgeries including colon cancer surgery. AZ USA
Thankyou for this great workout! I'm 75 and have been following since 2020 and enjoying every moment.
This exercise gets me going in the morning.
I’ve been doing your videos from my TV as well as on my computer, but if on TV, as soon as I finish it I come onto my iPad to click “like”! I wish I could click from the TV! Maybe someday it will allow it. I absolutely LOVE all the videos. THANK YOU,
Hi Rachel. I just did your half hour workout. I am a healthy 69 year old with mild arthritis in my knees. Your workout is perfect. At least three times a week.
It is nice to meet you Rachel
I am Rita ,Brazilian living in the USA!!I LOVE YOUR PILATES CLASSES
I HAVE BEEN FEELING SO GOOD LATELY,Do not REMEMBER I HAVE ARTHRITIS ON MY KNEES 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, I really enjoyed today.
Hejjo again Rashel MY secon day today was very good As you said lovely workout
Now become full time carer so can’t make classes but so pleased to find you Rachel. I’m 81 and replaced hip and shoulder but done lots of ballet. Thank you
Thanks Rachel. I discovered my left ankle muscle is very inflexible through your videos - years of football (soccer) injury I guess.
Ah yes Philip, football is tough on the ankles and being a sportsman you'll find a big difference in mobility from one side of the body to the other. So glad you found me as these workouts are really good for you- I'd add the foot and ankle mobility session into your weekly routine, it's only 15 minutes but very focused on those areas: th-cam.com/video/-0s_wDe7j88/w-d-xo.html I'd also add some stretching of the feet as tighness in the feet ( common in soccer players) will affect the ankles, calves and knees, try this as also part of your wellbeing routine th-cam.com/video/pBwFI23cAo8/w-d-xo.html And keep going withthe standing work like this video. You might like to try the workout I did yesterday too as lots of ankle mobility and balance work in it and you can improvise with a football if you don't have the mini ball ⚽️ 🤗 th-cam.com/users/livercAjmbcVoeI Thanks for your donation today 🤗
Hi Rachel…I am Dominique (girl !) from France I am 70 …I..m following you since many months and I have been practicing Pilates before ..I can tell that you are the best.😊
❤love you ,you are great Rachel ❤
Awww thank you !
Love your videos for seniors. Would like to work more upper arms and inner thighs pls. Franny
Jazz hands!!! You won't be surprised to know, Rachel, that I was singing the opening number from Pippin while we did the hands exercises. "We've got magic to do, just for you! We've got miracle plays to play!" Loved the whole workout. Thank you, Rachel!
Hi Rachel love trying all your Pilates videos I’m 74 and feel it keeps me from stiffening up and I feel much better in my self too wen I finish thank you so much 🤗🙋🏼♀️👍
I second Yvonne Thompson’s comment. I am within a few years of her age and I have found Rachel’s Pilates to be a life saver. Even though I am back in the gym with my friend, I still make sure I do a session daily with Rachel before I leave for the gym in the morning. I am so much more flexible after 2 years, pain free, and have improved my balance!
Wonderful teacher,Great classes are helping me a lot ,reducing pain arthritis and eating healthy!!
Best pilates teacher! Keep up the good work Rachel. Many thanks xxx
That's so kind of you Tricia - thank you! ❤️
Loved it Rachel, I loved it, 75 years old. Thank you 💕
So glad!
Hi, Rachel 76 and I love your sessions. Thank you 💕
You're so welcome!
Love your classes I am doing 3 times a week
I was a bit fed up with floor exercices thank by the way I am 79 …..
I love your pilates for 60 and over. I am a 74 year old female and really know your classes are helping me. Particularly with balance.❤ Thank you so much!!
Thank you Rachel.
You're welcome 😊
Thank you Rachel, I love to be following you.
Thank you Rachel, love your seniors workout from Canada 💖🤗💜
Thanks Rachel great routine as usual from TGWTPM Keep them flowing ❤😊
I have been slacking off. I love the standing exercises. Can’t seem to get down and back up very easy. I am 69 and can’t believe I am this old. Having trouble with my shoulders. Doctor says it’s arthritis. But I notice when I exercise with you , I don’t seem to have that sharp pain. 😊Thanks Geri F
Great Pilates today. Really enjoyed it. Blessings Gail🇦🇺
Hello from Santa Fe New Mexico! Thank you for the workout haven’t tried Pilates in years and I am 67. 😊
Thank You ! I need the strength
As with all, your Pilates workouts, this is excellent. I might note, the breathing exercises you use at the beginning breathing in to the count of 3 is only a very shallow breathing exercise for my lungs. it takes the count of 8 to inflate my lungs and likewise to deflate. sixty-years of biking has resulted in large capacity lungs. I'm sure there are others with this ability. This is after smoking for 47 years and having the upper lobe of one lung removed due to cancer.
I enjoyed this class. Was more chanellge. I did other your class but more was easy. Thank you very much. See next time
workout is good for my aching body
This was great as usely! Thanks also for the counts of the pilates breathing.
I love every minute working with you.
Hi Rachel. Just donated a couple of coffees for you but forgot to add a message! Thank you again for another wonderful session - I feel SO much better afterwards, especially as I turn 73 tomorrow and I am full of aches and pain. Your sessions help physically and mentally - thank you. Vivian
Loved this to start my week this morning,thank you 😊
Great class! Love it. But at 73, it can be challenging to get back into exercising after a lazy pandemic confinement!
Excellent stretching and balance workout. I so enjoy these standing pilates workouts. Thank you.,
Hello from Los Angeles California thanks for getting me started!!!
Really enjoyed your class. I am new to Pilates. Easy to9 follow with clear instructions on movement and breathing. Thank you
This completes all of March madness playlist for me. Thank you for this brilliant compilation!! Excellent work and challenge!! Thank you 🙏
Wonderful class Rachel 👏 My body is tingling all over with energy. Love the stretching and balancing exercises 💕
Thank you! So great! I’m trying to get back to exercising. At 73, it’s a bit challenging. One cannot stop, or must pay a high price…
Rachel, your programs are very helpful! I appreciate if you could mention more and more if some move is good or bad for osteoporosis.
Thank you very much and all the best to you
Loved this standing session Rachel. Thank you for your time, encouragement and enthusiasm. 🙏💕👍🌼👌
Really enjoyed this one Rachel, I love trying all your workouts, such variety…this was a lovely gentle workout and suited me perfectly today ❤️
Thank you, this is great
Thanks Rachel, this was another great workout.
Really enjoyed doing this as part of the Move March playlist ! Balance is SO important, I see so many ‘falls’ in my job as an Occupational Therapist.
Thank you for raising awareness.xxx👏
You are a very encouraging teacher, Rachel! I'm so new to pilates but already feeling motivated to keep on.
Thanks so much Rachel ❤️ I like how you teach standing balance by pushing the back leg forward. It really help me
Thanks!
Just catching up with this video, I did an hour of your standing & mat exercises yesterday, so this one was great to stretch my muscles again! .
I’m working on my figure for my daughter’s wedding on the 17th February 🥰 thanks for your help Rachel x
I really like this new exercise. It’s really wonderful to start the day with this. Thanks
Thank you Rachel. I enjoyed this so much. I’ve been missing my Pilates since my studio moved. I’m so happy to have found you. I’m watching from Maryland.
Really great workout. Yes I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much. God bless you Rachel
Thanks again Rachel, I enjoy all of your videos, these exercises to improve strength and confidence I really appreciate.
Love this - great morning stretch!
First class today! Loved it! Took me back to my ballet days!
I live in New Zealand so can’t do live but thanks for your great sessions.
Exactly the workout I like, thank you!
I enjoyed the class today from Philadelphia
Thank you for this class.
Thank you Rachel. This was so good for me. I have been absent for a while so this one was just right for me. This will be a regular one for me. Blessings!
Great workout with this one Rachel thanks
Glad you liked it!!
@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat one question for you, I keep getting cramp at night, is because I have just started Pilates. I take Vit D, Magnesium & Vit K so should help. Maybe it will stop as I progress?
Missed the live session , so happy with this class this am. I have been doing your classes for the last two years.
Nearing 80 years young and feel wonderful doing the classes. Suffer from osteo but your classes keep me mobile.
Thank you🇨🇦
Hello dear Rachel, I would like to ask you to think about a video for seniors but knee friendly. I love your pilates but as a senior I can not make plies or lounges like in the present session and it is a little frustrating. Thank you very much, I think I am still feeling good in my body because of your exercices.
I just did this and I feel great. I love your pilates videos because they really help my muscles and joints😊
Thank you so much Rachel
I haven't excercised for a while due to work commitments and really struggling with my back and core strength. Found you a few days ago and feeling much better for doing these lovely excercises with you.
Thank you this was perfect for me coming back from knee, hands and shoulder injury after taking a bit of a clumsy fall. You and your sessions are just lovely. Cheers from Vancouver B.C. Canada.
Hi Rachel, I just took my first class with you and first pilates class! I loved it, thank you.
Thank you Rachel - enjoyed that!
I love the lateral movements in this routine. I am rehabbing from a broken femur and after a year and a half this is still my place to go for exercise. Thank you very much.
Thankyou very very much! You are doing good works!😀😀😀
Thank you - slipped off the rails recently but this was perfect to get going again!!
❤ thank you. Feels great
You're welcome 😊
Caught up with this this morning & really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for all you do for us. I love the variety of your classes for seniors & so glad I found you a couple of years ago!
Hello Sheila, that’s wonderful. So pleased you’re still with me and continuing to enjoy our sessions. Well done 👏😘

Hello and welcome to the channel 😊 So glad you enjoy my videos, keep up the great work, Rachel 😊
That was lovely, great standing routine to start the week, for any age, thanks so much! Yes, coordination and balance are very important issues for me, personally. And post-menopausal, so appreciate the fat shifting comment! You are a great help training our glutes and other shifting/wandering bits🤪😂! Thanks for that, and for the British weather update🥶, take care and stay warm!😉🤗💪🏼
Missed the live so just done this video. Really great especially the breathing reminders! Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Love your routines you are amazing I appreciate you giving us seniors priotiy with balance and leg strengthening. Thank you for all you do to help us seniors.
You're so welcome!
thank you for the wonderful workout.
Lovely class I had the chance of finding out! I don't want to miss one! A big thank you from Portugal!
Yay!! So glad you enjoyed it 😘
Just love your lessons. Don't know what I did before I discovered you at the beginning of lockdown in 2020!!! Thanks so much.
Awww 🥰 Thank you 🙏
Hello Rachel, Thank you for your videos. My husband Dave (75) and I (64) normally do two of your "senior" rated routines each week at home together, here in the UK in Cheltenham. They are really helping Dave in particular to improve his mobility which had gotten quite restricted, in particular after a fall which hurt his shoulder. I could do more advanced routines as I used to do yoga and gym work pre-Covid but never returned since, but I find that by pushing myself during your senior routines I still get a good stretch and tone workout. We both do a weights routine each week also, online with Hasfit, so I am proud of what we are achieving. We love your videos, your smile, your encouragement and your great outfits! Keep it up and thank you. Little question - we currently pick a routine at random from the Seniors set each time - would we do better to repeat the same one for a while?
Thanks
Thank you for a great class coming from Philadelphia, PA.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this workout. My mobility is somewhat challenged and this is a good way to improve it. The one thing I simply cannot do is balance on one foot for any amount of time. I lost some nerve connections to the foot after back surgery.
Thanks Rachel just what I needed post decorating the house x
You’re welcome 😊
