I loved this video! Your instructions were excellent!! I’m a person who frequently forgets to breath when I exercise, or I hold/strain my breath during a tough move. Unlike other videos, where they demonstrate the breathing in the beginning, and then assume you’ll continue on your own - you constantly instruct in the breathing throughout!! Thanks for that!!! So glad I found this channel!! 😀👍

@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat 6 жыл бұрын

Hello and thank you for the wonderful feedback! Yes I know what you mean about the breathing, you can concentrate so hard you forget to do it! I always instruct the breath as I find it helps people relax as well as understand the breath. Good work for trying it, so glad you enjoyed the instructions! Do try some of my ohter workouts and let me know what you think, I'm here to help so feel free to fire any questions comments over. Have a great day, Rachel

Lauren Turow Hi Lauren, thanks so much for your comments. It’s great to hear what you think and your experience of the workout. I’ve got two more standing workouts you might like which I’ve filmed and am currently editing. I hope to get them on the channel within the week. They’re similarly energising and you need no equipment, just your good self! Don’t forget you can do these workouts daily, a little every day is the best way to keep fit and healthy 😊 Wishing you all the best, Rachel

Hi Rachel, many thanks for this and the other standing workouts which are a really great way to start the day whilst we are self isolating. They are about the right length of time and difficulty. I don't know how long it takes to prepare one of these but I wondered if you could do one to include exercises for creaky knees? I have greatly benefited from Pilates to strengthen the muscles to support the knees but these have been done on a reformer which is not possible at the moment!

@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat 4 жыл бұрын

Hello there, really glad to hear these standing pilates exercises are woking for you and I will film another soon for creaky knees! What a great expression😊 Without a reformer we need to create some resistance but you know there is no better resistance than your own body weight so you have chosen the ideal workouts whilst you cannot go to your reformer sessions. I've made a note about your request and would recommend you take the other standing workouts on the channel too. With your knees just be mindful of not over flexing them or hyper extending and you'll be fine. More to come soon! Best wishes, Rachel
