What weight do you need

At 77 my grandson suggested I should do something with weights after two hip replacements. I have been following your programme for two months and feel so much stronger, more balanced, more energetic, and with a lighter mood. Thank you for the variety, pace and explanations. Look forward to seeing you every morning! From uk.

I wish I could have talked my grandma into this. I tried hard to get her into Silver Sneakers classes and to stop smoking. She passed at 83, but I believe she'd have made at least 93 with exercise and no smokes.

I have been doing this three times per week for 3 months and I am now using 11lb weights! 😅

I just want to say I deeply appreciate your non-judgemental and accessible approach. I've never been in fantastic shape but being sedentary during early COVID lockdown had disastrous effects on my body and I've often felt hopeless, self-conscious, and just plain scared to work out ever since because traditional fitness culture can be very intimidating. I find your videos so helpful and your attitude so encouraging so thank you for sharing your work 💙

Thank you so much! This is one of the first workouts in my life that I was actually able to do and enjoy. Thank yoi so much for the encouragement and kind words

Thanks Jessica - I'm 74 and starting to look after grandchild 10 months - time to strengthen up!! Nice workout. I can do it!!

Yes! One of my favorite! I enjoy the repetition.

I am so thankful I found your channel Jessica. My body already feels stronger after a few of your classes. 🥰

Thank you for being a very encouraging and inspiring coach, it's joyful to spend 20 minutes with you and complete with a smile together. Thank you, Jessica!

I've been watching and following your videos for a couple of years and i have to say, you are fantastic. Always presenting important exercises for every part of the body, emphasizing form but also safety. You've helped me a lot, truly, so thanks!

Loved this workout! I’m definitely feeling more able to do strength training and want to incorporate it more often now. I think it’s my new favourite. I’m in Canada and can’t afford the courses you offer but you’ve helped me more than anyone else. Thank you for all your work Jessica. I feel so much stronger since starting in September of last year.

Everytime its so good! Thank you Jessica for being so generous and kind with your instructions.

this was the best workout video i’ve done i like how you tell us stories or just talk about things during - so my mind doesn’t wander and it has a way of keeping me engaged and you make it very accessible

Recovering from elbow sprain. Loving these as a way to strengthen my shoulders and upper arms after couching it these past 4 weeks!!😊

I can only follow your workouts/videos! No other person doing tutorials clicks with me! Thank youuuu!!!! Keep up the good work!

Love how you explain how lighter weight is plenty with shoulder and upper back work...otherwise it goes up into the neck and makes tension worse. Brilliant as always, Jessica!

Really nice beginners workout Jessica. Not as scary as I thought it would be! I can definitely see myself doing this one twice a week. Thanks so much🙏🇮🇪

Thank you Jessica for your kindness and generosity!

Love you videos You don’t intimidate me like soooo many others. You are very kind

This video has helped me SO much in my COVID recovery. After 2 months of zero energy, I started with cans and have worked my way through 3lb up to 5lb. I never thought I would be back at a beginning level, but have been so happy that I found you! Thank you so much!

👍Thank you Jessica. Just subscribed. Great explanations and not overly taxing. Great for beginners. Due to my work (hunched over a computer 8 - 10 hours a day sometimes) I have developed the most awful pains in my shoulders and back. This has lead to expensive massages several times a month. Last week I decided lifting a few weights after work would probably help. Within a few days I can feel the difference. Been searching all over YT for a routine to follow. Found yours the best. Aimed at my age group (50) and given I am now chronically unfit, I know I need to get stronger as I age for all the reasons you gave. Only managed 5 minutes so far, but early days and I am dealing with body stiffness and soreness. Look forward to building up over time.

Loved this video . I don't use weights often enough a couple of the exercises also tested my balance. will definately do this one again.

Thank you Jessica this was lovely ☺️ and will return to this workout! Great way to get into adding a weight routine! 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌❤️‍🔥

Thank you for this class. I will add it to my Pilates routines during the week.

I simply love your encouraging approach! Big thanks :)

I am begining my weight training with this workout and 3lb. Weights. Previously used yoga as my main practice but want to build muscle mass and retain strength as I age as now I am 70! Thanks for your wonderful offerings and commitment to all of us. Your attitude is so inspiring

Glad I found this channel. Luv the workout as I was very hesitant to use weights. Very informative and I actually finished th entire workout.

I makes me so happy that you have a cool down at the end of the video 💛💛💛

I have loved this video I have had a low vit d for 4 years according to my immunologist , 19 ,I am quite weak I am taking my time building my strength , this is everything thank you so much you are a star 💫🙏🏻

Thank you for your sweet spirit and encouragement 🥰

thank you Jessica your classes are amazing. I really appreciate that you explain everything so thoroughly this gives me the confidence to perform the moves without injuring myself :)

Thank you so much for this video! I restarted my fitness journey with this.❤

Jessica, I feel so blessed I found your site. Your clinical background really shows to provide excellent workouts safely. And, your instructions are so clear. So, thank you. Can you suggest a workout when you are ready to advance from the 20 minute full body workout with weights beginner? You mention another workout but I wasn't sure which one with weights would be intermediate. Thank you

This is my go to weight workout! Want to regain my muscles especially in my arms 💪as I used to have great biceps. Onward with Jessica!!!

Good workout! Love the shorter ones; not so overwhelming as I get started exercising again.

This is a great beginner workout! Not easy, like you said but I’m confident I can do it twice a week to start. I haven’t done any weight training in years. New subscriber!

Wonderful as always! Thank you @JessicaValantPilates

Thanks. Starting over with strength training. Thank you for this workout.

I'm so happy I found her. You're doing an amazing job. May God bless you

😍Thank you so much for your very professional workouts. I love them and they really help feeling good! Greetings from Germany

love this sooo much, thank you Jiessica

Loving this workout, thank you Jessica

I love you workouts especially the with weights workouts. 😊

Thank you so much for this! It’s really helpful.❤

Jessica, I am also on a breast cancer journey. I was diagnosed with DCIS this fall and opted for lumpectomy (with bilateral reduction/lift) followed by radiation. My surgery was 3 weeks ago and radiation will start in a few weeks. I can totally relate to the feeling of walking around in a fog. Even though I am an RN and am familiar with much of the medical jargon, there is still so much that is new. Sending prayers for you in your journey.

Jessica, this is a fantastic full body workout! You are THE BEST physical therapist / pilates trainer, etc. etc. on the internet! Absolutely my favorite trainer for at home workouts. Thanks for being there for us!

Thank you so much Jessica for making great vids like this and I appreciate also some of your alternative suggestions. I’m 57 and skinny and I want to gain weight and strength, do you have any vids on this regard please. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this routine today! It wasn't too long. Nor was it too short. It was just right, and I'm going to follow your suggestion to do it 2 x's/week. Could you post a workout without any lunges? I tore my meniscus and lunges put too much of a strain on that knee. The pain is significant in that position. Thanks in advance if you can do that. On a side note: your voice is so calming, pleasant, and easy to listen to. That's one reason I plan to stay with you! Greetings from ARKANSAS❣

You are awesome, Jessica.

Woow , this workout is just on time, as I have recently ordered dumbbells and been looking for a gentle start with them. Thank you Jessica

Thank you for the great video

I love this video. I feel like I had a good full body strengthening session. I had surgery for a full thickness rotator cuff tear six months ago and this seems like great continued therapy. Do you think as a physical therapist that the one overhead lift is ok for me? I know all the others are definitely safe. Thanks so much. I enjoy all of your videos.

Thanks Jessica!

Great workout!! Thank you

Great workout, thanks!

OMG love love love this class! I recently found out I have a prolapse of my uterus and I'm 69, no children. I've done yoga for years, in particular yin but I knew I needed to get back into pilates. I was gobsmacked that you had multiple prolapse and I found my pilates instructor!! I also badly needed to add weights, this was sooo perfect and will do over and over until I feel ready for the next level. Thank you for opening up and sharing your story.

Your videos are extremely positive and great for someone like myself. I have Hypermobility and my body keeps flaring up from extreme pain. A year ago I started weights at the gym and got strong but now weaker than before due to pain. I watched your Hypermobility video, are all your videos safe for someone with Hypermobility? I want to do you full body weights for begginers and pilates. Thank yiu :) xx

Thank you

A very nice workout,

Thank you for such a wonderful guided workout. I know I have a long way to go, but am optimistic. Expecting first grandchild in August. I need to be stronger. Question about lunges… I have a lot of weight in my legs and have bone spurs in both. Have 20% range of motion, feel unstable trying lunges. Any temporary modification I can try? Thank you 😊
