Yay! Thanks for these! Great channel!

I found your channel today and did this routine. First time doing pilates and you made me now going to do it more often. Love your energy. Thanks

Great workout! That was tough but doable

I've just recently got into Pilates and I wish I'd started ages ago! This routine is hard but really good. Thank you for this. I was grinning from ear to ear when you started talking and I realized that you're also South African ❤️ 🇿🇦 ❤️ you go girl!

Killer workout! 😎💪🏻

Amazing routine, thank you very much. I am only just discovering pilates after years of running. I can't believe the instantaneous results. This routine will be a keeper for me, a great way to awaken my glutes and core after sitting at a desk all day!

Awesome thank you

Loved this routine....my left glute is way weaker than the right, I need to do this often..found this more difficult than strength training with equipment... Thank you

I love this video and do it at least once a week - thanks so much! Now I’m finding it fairly easy, do you have a more advanced routine I could do please? Thanks again 😃

Great!

Great quad burner workout! Thank You!

Enjoying these as they should make me more flexible for when cricket hopefully starts again in the UK. On a hamstring stretch I can get just past the knee but progressing!

Keep it up and you will probably be so flexible by the end of lockdown. South Africa just got notified last night on a 2 week extension for lockdown. Good Luck with you cricket training, what team do you play for? Day 6 will be a good one to help you improve your mobility especially being a cricketer :). kzread.info/dash/bejne/dppluM-kl6bAn7w.html. Have a good weekend :)

Life Full of Zest that’s a good one, I try and do that every couple of days in addition to the daily video. I am just outside of London so was hoping to start playing in a few weeks but unlikely till July now. I heard about your lockdown extension as I played cricket for a couple of years in Port Elizabeth and keep in touch with the guys there, it’s no fun is it!

Thanku great routine

Love your Zest and drive 😊😊 Amazing demonstration with body demonstration .... wish I could keep my body doing what it should 😊👌👌

Thanks now I don't feel soreness in my glutes abs and quads

Thanks so much for your videos! As an avid runner myself, I know the importance of flexibility and mobility but am usually really slack at improving it, even after multiple injuries due to weak glutes and tight hip flexors! My right glute is also my weakest. I especially struggled with the last exercise of reaching the leg behind! Really feeling the burn in my glutes after these workouts! Many thanks again!!

My right glute is also the weaker one. I really enjoy doing the sequences, because it allows me to do stretching that I otherwise probably wouldn’t get to doing. I really love that glute burn . There are more Pilates for runners coming, so keep a lookout 😃

Hi! I just found your videos and have been making my way through each one. I'm a runner who has been dealing with knee problems and needed to take a break from running to get my strength back up. These videos have been so helpful, and this was my favorite one yet! Great workout. My left glute is my weaker one. Would you recommend doing a few extra reps on that side to strengthen it? Thank you for your awesome content! I'm learning a lot!

Hi Amber. Pilates will definitely assist with your knee and back problems. I think that is a very good idea. I am so glad you like this video and enjoying the series. I would recommend that you do more sets with less reps in each of those sets for your weaker one. Remember quality over quantity :). Your weaker glute may not be-able to manage 8 reps straight away, but if you do 3 sets of 4-5 then you will get better results. I hope that makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't. All the best with the rehabilitation :)

Thank you 😊

@Life Full of Zest I literally just finished this video. I've been running for 5 years after losing 30 kilos of weight, but lately I've been having achiness on my legs and lower back. Sadly, its my fault as i dont tend to stretch and wow all the achiness just went.😱 thank you ❤

Such a helpful class - thank you

Thanks for the video! Really informative. I am struggling to get activation in my glutes during the side leg raises. I feel more activation in the side of my calf and thigh. Do you have any advice?

beautiful accent especially when you say "seven" :)

The videos are great. I really like them. The only thing that is disappointing is the placement of the ads. They show up right in the middle of reps. I have to stop in the middle of an exercise to skip the ad and then get back into position to continue.

Hi , can I do these workouts on the days I run or is it better to practice on off days... ? Thanks for your videos

Hi, these workouts are soso good. I absolutely love running but get injured alotalot so very happy to find injury prevention I actually enjoy :) Thank you. Q: How often would you do this workout when running training - like per week?

@LifeFullofZest

Hi Rachel. I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying the workouts. These workouts you can do everyday, however I find when I am in a full training regime, doing them every second day is more feasible. 3-4 time per week will be effective. We have recently created a pilates for runners playlist that I thought you might enjoy. Take a look : kzread.info/head/PLZ4Drjasb6s37n3ixD2__JuRoTFpLxsWL Have a lovely day :)

Love this workout but finding one leg toe taps in bridge hurts my lower back. Tried reducing the reps, and focusing on activation but nothing seems to help. Any advice?

I found during the rocking back and forward (with knees lifted) my thighs felt almost unbearably tight - is that usual?! I couldn't do whole 3 reps of it, was worried I was doing damage!

That was hard. Any routines for sore neck and shoulders from too much time at the PC?

Hi loving and following your challenge everyday!! When i do the leg rotations my hips click, is that normal?

@LifeFullofZest

4 жыл бұрын

Try activating your core a bit more when doing the rotations. You will sometimes get a few clicks, but you don’t want them persisting, try do smaller controlled movements. Maybe that will help 👍😀

Loving your videos. I am following the 30 day Pilates and am on day 5 now. I have a question - when you “activation” what exactly does that mean? What and how should I feel ? Please help. Thanks in advance!

I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. Keep it up, you will feel so much stronger and fitter by the end of it. Take a look at this video, hopefully it will help with what you are meant to feel while activating: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jHmuzpdtgabMnNY.html. In summery, when I say activate in the videos, I am asking you to tighten and tense your muscles while performing the movement :). I hope this helps :). I hope you have a lovely weekend :)

I’m in quarantine following positive Covid test so thought I’d try this instead of running. I think I got my glutes going by the end of it, so thank you! One question, each time I put my foot flat down on its top, I get cramp in my sole - is there something I should be doing differently?

Hi Mike, thank you for your message. I am so sorry it is such a late response. I am sure you have recovered from COVID by now. I hope it was a fast recovery. Generally, when that happens, it may be due to a lack of mobility in your ankles and tightness in your feet. I would recommend doing more ankle mobility exercises and rolling the soles of your feet regularly. I hope that helps. Let me know if it does. 😀

Hi, I'm thinking of starting to combine running with Pilates. Bern running for years, but in my forties and feeling my legs weaken. What would you recommend as a weekly routine of running and amount of Pilates?
