Love your videos. I can choose to do one, or two or more if I have the time. This one is a must I had a C section 16 years ago and gave birth only 18 months after that. I though my lower abs were a lost cause but they're getting strong again!
Im trying to learn about all this. Recent MRi showed I have cystocele, stage 3 cervical prolapse, rectocele 5.7cm, and excessive widening of Levator Hiatus and excessive widening of anorectal junction/perineum (which I believe is the prolapse of rectum- mucosal prolapse) Im being referred to a couple surgeons but I like to learn about whats going on. im 43, never had kids, but I also have a lot of other health problems and I think whatever else is causing my issues, is probably causing this one. It takes forever to get help- I really dont want to have surgery but Ive had 8 other surgeries already so whats another one or two? I have no idea why I would have all these prolapses either. I dont have a history of constipation either or overweight.
Omg I feel so good!!! I will be doing these stretches daily
I am 45 and I have went through all the different avenues of trying to help my vault prolapse. I do not want surgery due to the mesh. For some reason I am so nervous about this surgery. I had a hernia repair 18 years ago and mesh was used. I had no issues. This time I am worried about it. I don't know what to do.
Can u help me plz ... when i do this i feel my butt whole lift to i cant do it without that lift up 2 is that normal way of doing it?
It is so relaxing and l feel much better that is what l need🙏🙏🙏
Thanks :D

Thank you for this video. I keep looking for various exercise routines so I don't get bored and can also work on different body parts etc and I usually always look for phrases like "low impact" and "beginner friendly" but sometimes I still get burnt. I tried a new video today which had me do this weird ice skating exercise followed by squats and then backwards lunges and my knees at that point decided to protest. I don't have a knee injury but I do have hypermobility and am currently quite unfit and over the years, I've noticed that everytime I get into exercising, my knees usually start acting up. That said, I have to try some form of exercise as I feel like a 29 year old going on 60 body wise.
this is great for upper back knots as well!
Scary woman.
I’m a 65 year old former personal trainer who now has a lot of knee pain. Thank you so much for these exercises. I’ve had a knee x-ray and I’m told I have a bone spur on my quad even though the pain is on the inner side and rear. I will do these exercises daily. Thank you!
So you don’t push the back to the floor, just draw belly button towards the spine, right?
You have pretty feet
I like your pilates. Your pilates are amazing 👏. Thank you 😊
This video is great help for my strained rotor cuff Big Thanks 😊
@Jessicavalantpilates i have this mental block that makes me flex my right thigh muscles everytime I try to out weight in it- the right leg has an injury history- any tips on getting rid of this mental block, or just repetition and really concentrating on not flexing it?
EXCELLENT! Thank you Jessica.
I am 61 and I am just now tryting to add Pilates to my yoga practice. This video is just the start. I have recently had a knee injury and I am working my way back. But I found you video on the knees and the clam shell has been a game changer. Thank you.
Oh you did your shit with this one girl . The amount of times I said “thanks for the motivation gurl” the whole video could be a drinking game 😂😂 this was great it made me want to keep doing it and start back taking my classes at crunch
Ok, I'm not very good at sticking to exercise routines...I just did this one for the second time, and see my previous comment was 3 months ago! Sheesh! 😂 no wonder I'm so stiff can barely move. It's backpacking season though, and I need my hips, so I'll be doing this one on a more regular basis.
❤
I’m not very old I’m only 18 but people keep telling me I have no reason to have back pain. I was thrown from my horse two years ago, I was diagnosed with a torn disc and five herniated discs. I went to pt and got better then was involved in another injury a year later resulting in two more herniated discs. So thank you for helping people all the way from 80 to 18 it’s a wonderful thing!!!
Really enjoyed this as a starting point. Great teaching instructions. Relaxed, encouraging and easy to follow. Thank you!
Excellent
Amazing work Loved doing it ❤
This is awesome wow thank you!
pls do for making wider hips
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m a 2 time breast cancer survivor and had a double mastectomy in January. Also facing a hysterectomy in July. Will be watching more of your videos as I prepare. Thank you!
👍🏼👍🏼
Great rips ❤
This was lovely. Thank you.
This is the very first video I watched since deciding to work on my health. This made me feel like maybe I can do it after all.
Thank you so much. Been doing this daily for a few months recovering from a disc injury and its been just the right level not to hurt me (which many physios have done in the past). You are part of my daily routine now❤
Looking good!
This was really great. I love every one of the J V workouts I’ve done so far. Your pace is so helpful for beginners. 🌷
perfect 💗🎀
Wow it's very good❤
Nice! Thank you!!
I love how you talk through every step and explain things and don’t just count us down like in a lot of other fitness videos. Thank you :)
Quick and effective thank you.
With osteoporosis you have to do this for 7- 8 hours in a day Is no way can heal with 1-2 hours exercise
👌🏻 Thanks !😊
Con artist
Perfect video !!! Thank you
Jessica, thanks a lot! I have hipermobility in lower part of my spine and in my ankles (causing me problems with hips). Are there any specific exercises for that?
This is my first time exercising with you and it won't be the last thank you ❤
Wonderful
Thank you 😊
I’m a teen that just got diagnosed with hypermobility because my injury was taking waaay longer to heal than normal, and things like in depth massages and stretches gradually made it worse. I’m going to be assessed for EDS by a geneticist soon, and I just really appreciate how your channel is a great help to those with all sorts of conditions. I feel so odd being a teen, where I should be my strongest, and feeling my weakest. I am on the road to strengthening, it won’t be easy, and that’s ok ❤
