What an amazing workout! Some moves are quite challenging, which tells me I need to work more on them. Thank you Rachel. I'm so happy I "found" you ❤.

Your workouts are so amazing. I was just diagnosed with ostopenio and weight bearing exercises are so important for me.

I just finished this and its one of your best. I feel great!!

Found that very tough, but I'm sure it did me good as I really need to be stronger. So thank you!

Loved this! Each workout I try of yours is better than the last, I'm so happy that I found your Pilates page. Challenging osteoporosis workouts that I don't have to modify.

Thank you for another incredible class! I love this workout, the stretching, the strengthening and the challenge. You are the best out there! Thanks agin

I loved this workout today, it was perfect thank you ❤️

So pleased you’ve added another session with weights (ideal workout).

Great workout! Thanks so much

So glad to repeat this one, love the combination moves, and combining strength 💪🏻 work with balance and 🩰 type moves - all my favorites! Lovely Sunday afternoon session!❤😊

First one of your workouts with weights I've done and it was brilliant! Life has taken me away from regular Pilates for a while but I'm determined to find time to get back as I'm definitely missing it. More like this please, Rachel.

Thanks Rachel - really enjoyed this and will definitely do it again. I'm still loving all the standing classes❤. Sharon

Excellent workout! Thank you Rachel :) combination Pilates with weight mniam super!

Excellent workout 7pm xx

Thank you!

I don’t have any weights but amazed how I felt the effects of the workout anyway👏 Thanks Rachel for another great variety to your classes. 🥰

Rachel, I love full body with weights or magic ring. Particularly love the standing exercises. You are gold. Please keep up the good work. Laura (Bendigo, Australia)

This was so much more challenging than it looked!

I love this routine!!!! This is one my favorites. My back feels stronger and my posture improves every time I do this video❤️

another winner. Trying to improve shoulder strength after rotator cuff operation.

Good workout, challenging for me as my shoulder strength still need more work. I loved being able to do a Osteoporoses friendly weight work out as I miss weight training. Thank you x

This is perfect. I have osteopenia and had a spinal fusion 2 years ago. I was told to use small hand weights often with no bending or twisting of the spine. This workout is exactly what I needed, thank you! ❤

Added to my list...thank u so much Rachel 😊

Great workout! My heart rate increased and the resistance from the weights challenged my balance, making me concentrate on my core and glutes. I also appreciate the focus on osteopenia because I struggle a bit with that and know I need to do weight bearing exercises to improve my bone health without the bending and twisting.

Hi again Rachel, my weights arrived today - 1.5kg each - oh boy what a difference doing this with proper weights!!! Great workout.

Loved it! I used 1pd wrap arounds

Great class with 1lb weights … perfect 🙌🏻

Thank you Rachel! Great work out.

Hi Rachel, I really enjoyed this workout. We're having a bit of a heat wave, so I took some breaks and drank lots of water. I felt all my muscles working, from my legs up to my arms. Excellent session, in spite of the heat. Thank you.

I've done (beginners) exercises every day since. I do have osteoporosis but can still do lots of exercises and jumps (lucky me). But I did found out I have to work on my left side balance ;-). Thank you for this great lesson, I'll sure do it again.

@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMatBack with the weights again. Thank you for responding. I just finished your challenging routine laying on the mat with weights. I used my 4lb weights for about the first half then I had to switch to the 2lb weights. I don’t know if it is my core muscles or age (69) I can do the “roll down” but must use my elbows and force myself up. No graceful “roll up”. Is there a trick or method to do push ups?
