I'm a 15 year old girl who has been overweight and big in the stomach for a while. I recently decided I wanted to lose weight, and tried doing some beginner yoga. Yoga wasn't really for me, having to hold poses and everything. Then I discovered this video. I've been doing it for about a week now (once a day for most of the week, past 2 days I've been doing it twice a day!!) And I already feel my belly muscles tightening slightly!! Thank you so much for this video, and I will continue using it! (Until I'm ready for higher 🥰)

I always leave these workouts feeling better about myself instead of worse, and I really appreciate that about your videos!

Wow a beginner video that’s actually for beginners and not some already flexible/strong person. Thank you.

So I have extreme tail bone issues- I have an anterior pelvic tilt, I’ve been doing self work and research w dissapointment for years and years. Being a 25 year old female it’s very defeating , going to doctors being told it’s nothing, chiropractors, etc. recently I decided to get custom orthotics- and I spent nearly 400$ thinking I’d be magically fixed w still doing workouts stretches yoga etc. Pilates has saved my life. This disassociation has quite literally turned my glutes back on and I see definition beginning in muscles that forgot they were alive in my quads and inner legs and calf’s. All along I can now see it’s been stuck tension and making myself smaller and stiff- when all along I have simply needed Pilates to lengthen and strengthen and elaborate spinal cord alignment and mind body connection. I have been doing your videos for probably a month and have not said much but now I thank you entirely. Bless you lady for real.

I did this 2 times a day for 2 months and saw insane results when it felt like my body was failing me. I always come back to this video when I’ve been neglecting myself. You make it easy. ❤

I've been doing your videos almost every day. And after a couple of weeks of just doing your videos at home, I went to my first pilates class. The instructor was so shocked by how good my form is as a beginner, so I told her it's because of your videos!

Love this! Being new to Pilates, I so appreciate this workout, especially the "how to do it right" information. I'm working hard trying to improve my fitness after spending the past year working at home and gaining my Covid 19 (litterally!). The weight is coming off and I'm feeling better! BTW, I'm 60 next week and looking forward to it!

I have been struggling with Pilates and yoga for YEARS. My chiropractor and doctor always tell me my joints and muscles are too tight and to try yoga and Pilates but they’ve never clicked for me the way that this video did for me! Thank you so much! ❤

I'm only 3 days in, doing 15-20 min of Pilates daily, and I'm feeling addicted. It is helping my body stiffness SO much. My osteopath made me realize that yoga and stretching wasnt really helping my issues. I need to build strength. Pilates videos seemed like such an intense wotkout begore! I love the way you ease in. ❤ I'm feel stronger every day. i wish i had been doing this for years... Thank you

I really appreciate that there is no music laid over your videos, and that you are inviting right from the beginning. There are a lot of fitness videos out there that just have too much high strung energy attached for me to be able to follow! Thank you for your work.

20 minutes flew by so fast doing this work out. Now I know I have it in me to do it everyday! Thank you. Subbed.

This is my first day ever doing this and I think I just found my new favourite form of exercise. :)

So happy to see a truly beginngers inclusive and compassionate work out

I was looking for a good pilates series to start learning how to do them, but I found most of the people explaining them were just super annoying, I couldn't stand them. But then I found your videos! They are awesome! Very informative and easy to follow and understand! And not insanely annoying! Thank you so much, and God bless!😊

Pilates was always very intimidating to me, but after trying this first video, I am so excited to continue learning from you. Thank you for explaining the moves and providing variations! :)

I am currently disabled and trying to get my strength back and I was actually able to get through most of this on my bed. I feel like crying from happiness, I can't wait until I can get on the floor and get through the whole thing with no modifications. Thank you for this!

I have recently discovered your videos. I have been suffering with groin & right hip pain since 3/2016 after I had a hysterectomy. After having countless amount of MRI'S & Xrays the conclusion was to give me cortisone injections but I refused. I've been try to figure out why the pain and recently started seeing a chiropractor that is also a personal trainer. I love lifting weights, running and indoor cycling. He asked me about my warm up and stretching routine which honestly was nearly nonexistent. He explained how important it is and basically told me I'm doing my body more harm than good by not warming up & stretching. So I decided to incorporate yoga & pilates into my workouts. In 1 week I went from a #6-8 pain level to now a 2. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, time and talents. You have changed my entire life 💛. I can now do squats, lung, walk and go up and down the stairs without so much pain. I'm gonna give it another month before I go back to running.

Thank you so much. Im 25 and used to be in shape but was injured. Now finally recovering from surgery (broke both my ankles) and this was the perfect Pilates class on KZfaq for a true beginner or someone with physical difficulties. Thank you!

Where did the 18 minutes go? I felt like it just started and it was over. Usually I'm pushing through waiting for the exercise to be over, but this was so enjoyable the time just flew by. Thanks!

yay first time I've ever done a crunch with no neck strain! it was fun

I have a neck injury from a car accident which has caused issues for my low back and pelvis as well. I have ups and downs. Sometimes I do really well for a while and then something gets set off and I'm back to square one. Well, I'm back to square one and this workout has really helped me get things back in shape and strong again. Thank you!

I love love love this, I was like what it’s over!!!! No way!!!! I didn’t feel those 20 minutes at all!!!! I been having back pain due to work and this definitely helped me relax my back!!! I will definitely continue to do this every day!!! Subscribed ✅

I enjoyed this work out! You’re very clear in your instruction, and it was a good beginning to get me back to exercising daily after cancer, surgery, and a new marriage. Now, seven years later, I’m starting over with you! Thank you!

I absolutely love this workout. I have had multiple surgeries including a ruptured bladder, 3 C sections, open heart surgery and I have osteoarthritis and osteopenia and very sore shoulder from a torn rotator cuff and a neck injury. I couldn’t get an appointment for physical therapy for a month so I was looking for exercises suitable for my condition and yours is perfect. Thank you very much. I don’t usually like ads, but yours wasn’t so bothersome since you are promoting the product and you didn’t stop the video in a place where I would be frustrated. I was lying on the mat and watched it. The ad could be a little shorter, but no big deal. Thank you 🙏.

Jessica, Thank you for another great beginners video! It’s easy enough for me to do but hard enough that I feel progress happening. It’s really encouraged me this morning! Many Blessings

Jessica, I have to thank you so much for your video. I just "found" you on youtube and just loved your beginners video. I've done pilates a lot in the past but since Covid I haven't ventured back but know I need it.. I'm 59 yo. I was almost moved to tears by your kindness, reassurance and calm approach. Thank you so much. You have opened the door to my coming back to pilates because of how you approach this. I honestly can't thank you enough. Continue in your good work!

I did some pilates and I notice that my core is so weak that I cannot get to do most of the poses. Thank you for your video this works much better to start ♥️

This was amazing! As someone suffering from scoliosis, your workouts have never caused me any issues and I always feel stronger after I complete them. Love your work!

I’m in adrenal fatigue. 63 and post menopausal. I thought intermittent fasting and interval intensity training w/ light weights would be ok. I was wrong. I found out after 3 weeks that this is the worst plan for adrenal fatigue. I’m worse off now. I will stick with Pilates. Thank you for this great video. It was long enough to calm down my parasympathetic system, but not so much that I’m exhausted.

I do one of Jessica's sessions almost everyday - I have popping hips & I've been seeing physios for over 10 years & I have never been told it's OK it's just tightness and it will go and it is going also love the fact you can do short sessions just 10 minutes or longer sessions - thank you Jessica!

Thank you Jessica! I took WAY too much time away from self care and need to get back into my favorite form of exercise pilates slowly. This was a lovely re-entry and reminder of why my body depends on this form of exercise for strength and overall well-being

I've been doing pilates for 20 years now, and this was the best class i have ever done.

I haven't done pilates in quite a while, mostly because the forms were always shown one way and I couldn't maintain them, this was such a perfect way to get back into it and still be able to feel a burn afterwards

Hi, I wanted to say thank you. I am only on day 2 of doing plates with you in my lounge in South Africa. I have 3 children and a full time job. I get up at 4am in the morning and your 15 to 20 minutes videos have inspired me to start training again. Thank you and don't stop your awesome.

I had a fusion last year. Before my injury I was advanced Pilates, I think I need to do this every day. At least once, maybe two! Thanks 🙏 ❤

Thankyou Jessica, I am currently having chemotherapy for beeast cancer and your videos have been excellent for my body, m8nd and spirit! Much apprciated! 🤩

Excellent for a beginner in which I am. I'm a runner who wants to focus more on toning the older I get. BRAVO!

Thank you for another great workout! In the past two months I got into Pilates because of your videos! Can’t wait for the pilates camp videos!

You look beautiful Jessica! I discovered my love for Pilates thanks to You and your videos! I had a baby 2 years ago and never felt and looked better since i started doing post natal pilates with you. It really fixed my bad posture that i wasnt even aware of! i just always thought i had a belly due to fat, but now i know it was due to my spine being over curved and just 15 mins of pilates every day makes a huge difference. Thank You

I just want to thank you for doing these, I’ve been using them to help regain strength and mobility since coming out of intensive care where I spent 5 weeks in a coma. Really helpful and feel totally motivated!❤

I love Pilates! my friend Ladonna recommended your channel bc Yoga has made me hurt being 65+

I have been watching lots of videos on KZfaq trying to figure out what best for me, I think your channel is what I need, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia , thank you so much for your sharing.

Tried your workout today, throughly enjoyed it, I’m extremely unfit as I discovered just how much my body is tight, but this was relatively comfortable for me, I’m going to keep this up for the next 30 days and hopefully see a difference, thank you Jessica x

First time in my life that I do crunches without breaking my neck!!! 🤣 Oh my gosh thank you 🙏🏻❤️

We’re thankful to all the teachers who provide us inspiration and videos to help us do better. Thank u ❤

Love your workouts I do them on my rest days from the gym. I came to love pilates because of the way you teach the movements. Thank u

I'm a 60 yr old woman. I never thought I could have a nice body again. This workout and keto made it happen. You are so easy to listen to. You make it easy.. Thanks so much.

I've always wanted to start pilates but it always was so hard (even the so-called "beginner workouts") I couldn't keep up, felt so unmotiated right away and just didn't do it. This videos gives me faith in myself and makes me proud to having been able to do all the variations without taling a break. I love the slow rythm, your way of teaching and I got very surprised when I realised the 20 minutes were over... first time that happened while exercising !

Jessica just thank you. I feel much more better and love how caring you are ❤❤❤

I've NEVER been a fan of excerise. I always felt judged in the gym... But your videos are so calm and reassuring.. Thank you so much for helping me start my journey to a better me, judgement free.

I’m a mom of two and have decided to make small changes in my daily routine and one of those changes is adding exercise. I walk our dog, and do a lot of cleaning around the house but I felt like I needed a good guided slow paced workout. Something that I can actually relax to. Anyway, I tried this workout on my lunch hour and it was perfect. This is officially my lunch hour at-home workout ❤

I absolutely love your videos! I wanted to better my lifestyle and I bumbed into your energising 10minute pilates video, it was clear to follow, it left me feeling great about myself and my body. I felt encouraged to move and it hasn't happened before. Excercising has always been difficult, but these videos make it easy! Thank you so much and keep going! ♥

i have done 3 of ur workouts now and you are by far my favourite pilates instructor to watch. your voice doesn’t get boring and is a good distraction, your exercises are easy but challenging and you make sure to include everyone. as a beginner to pilates, thank you so much ❤

I really love your speed and breathing direction. I've been trying to find a video like this without music in the background, annoying songs have put me off some good workouts!

Jessica, you are so good at leading a Pilates class. Thank you.

I've been very sore in my upper back and neck. I have gone back to the beginner workout and am shocked at how stiff I am in other places. I feel so much better after my workout. Thank you, Jessica. Judy

I love your videos so much!! I've had a few doctors recommend that I try yoga or pilates; but it always felt so daunting! I tried a few videos but always felt like I just couldn't do it. You actually make me feel like I *can* and that is huge for me! Thank you!!

Thank you. I’m new to Pilates and at 72 I appreciate the adaptions that make it accessible to everyone.

I am so happy I found your channel. I forgot how well I did doing Pilates years ago. Life got in the way and totally stopped working out. Well this 60 years young woman and her menopause’s stomach is getting back into the basics. A few years back we got an aero Pilates machine, it’s just doesn’t do anything for me. I wish there was a protein bar I could eat. I have so many food intolerances and allergies it’s nit even funny. Gluten,wheat,nuts,coconut,avocados, celery,watermelon ,corn and a few more. Started 15 years ago. Loving the workouts with you.

First Pilates workout and I loved every second of it. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the result has my body feeling free and ready for a new day. Thank you.

I’ve been wanting to try pilates for a while but was overwhelmed with all the movements. You make them easy to follow and I love that you say modifications are ok it’s part of the process. I’m 9 months out from major shoulder surgery and still don’t have full range of motion but I just do what I can. I’ve never been flexible and as I’m entering my 50’s I want to work on it. Thanks for making this amazing videos you have made my Pilates journey much easier.

I love this! And now I really see the difference between pilates and yoga. It also helps that you are a physical therapist, so that gives some extra Dimension to the moves for me when you are explaining them. Thank you so much for what you do, and I will definitely be a subscriber😊❤

Thank you again for a great video! Today you put my mind at ease about that popping noise in my hips and thankfully it is getting less with each workout. I am starting to really enjoy these workouts.

Jessica, I just completed 2 of your very very simple pilate videos. Even in doing these very simple ones I see how out of shape I am but I am happy that I found your videos because I really need to bring my body strength back up after being sick and finding out I had a heart problem. So I am working slowly to get my strength back and these 2 videos I believe will help me to do that! Thank you for keeping some very simple, gentle and easy ones out here for people like me who are trying to make a come back to achieve full strength as when I was younger!

I'm a complete beginner and thought this workout was at the perfect level. I needed to use all the modifications due to lack of flexibility and some issues with my lower back so thank you for including them!

I am recovering from chest surgery and this is just what I need. Thank you!

I started out with Windsor Pilates on a DVD many years ago to get in shape in my late 30s and early 40s. I just discovered your Gentle Pilates - 15 minute for beginners and now I'm in my 50s and trying to get back into shape yet again. 😂 Thanks so much for these videos!

I'm back after covid and though I feel like I've been hit by a truck most days this is really helping. Thanks Jessica.

Your one of the few that actually mean beginners when you say it. The others leave me so disappointed and sad when I physically can’t get into the positions they present as ‘beginners’. Thank you ❤

My PT has told me in the past I need to do Pilates. Except for your videos, TBH, I have hated it. But this workout was great, and I have saved several of yours. I really appreciate this channel (as does my PT).

Hi Jessica! I did Pilates years ago. I had a desire to try it again as I've been doing yoga for the last few years and wanted to mix it up a bit. I did your beginner workout today and loved it. Thank you. I think you explain yourself well and give easy to follow directions and alternative moves to meet everyone's level of experience and ability. I look forward to working out with you again and I have subscribed to your channel today and look forward to seeing what else is there to help me achieve my health goals.

Jessica, thank you for your wonderfully crafted videos. I really enjoy the way you present and teach. I’ve been struggling with frequent migraines for many years and it’s been a long journey coming to find a workout routine through which I don’t overexert myself and trigger a migraine. I tried many “strength” workouts which end up being too harsh for my body. I’ve been trying out your Pilates for beginner exercise videos for this past month and they are just perfect. I haven’t felt this well in many years and feel like I’m starting to regain a better self esteem. Thank you for what you do. God bless ♡

I loved this video. I can pretty much do everything effortlessly with the exception of the roll down/roll up. Roll down, no problem, roll up....big problem. I’ve been doing Pilates for about 5 years. We got new teacher 2 years ago at our seniors centre. First time we were ever taught the Pilates roll down/up. I’ll be 70 in 3 months, so I’m pleased with what I’m able to accomplish. I have arthritis in both hips, especially the right, so I do modify certain exercises. I was Sooooo pleased to see your recommendation for using a towel in performing the roll up!!! I’ve been searching for something to help me achieve this. I went to your mini video about doing roll down/up, and using a towel worked...it really worked!! ❤️❤️

I started my pilates journey this February and your videos have been so helpful. Thank you! I am not as scared to start getting into fitness ❤

This is a great workout! You give very clear instructions and I appreciate the modifications. I have osteoporosis and I want to keep my core strong to support my spine. I don’t want to give up fitness and I love that you are a physical therapist!

I had the clicking in my hip and never knew what it was, and you told me. Thank you. I slowed down the workout a little bit and it went away.

I'm 61 and trying to build up some strength, thank you for a great video with good instructions.

Great workout, feels good to my back. I have a lower back injury.

recently had an injury, and I am so happy for this workout, and all of the modifications!!! thank you so much!!

I have been messing around with what works best for me, I had a serious back injury about 7 years ago, and I have gained so much in the last 2 years. Mostly in my stomach area, and thighs. Yoga almost always leaves me so sore I'm unable to do the next days work out but this video has helped me and I feel good after doing it! I'm hoping twice a day for a few weeks will lead me up to a higher level!

i had some muscle pain in my neck and this actually helped that, i follow this video everynight and did not expect it to help neck pain :)

Hi Jessica. I love your workouts. I was diagnosed with Lumbar Spondylitis. Hoping your workouts can help me heal 🙏🏻

After these workouts always feel more flexible and full of energy.

Loving the videos while I'm stuck in the house isolating,definitely helping my head space x

Just subscribed. I am 60yrs. Thank you Jessica 💚

i have always been a workout buff, in Jazzercise, palates, walking, and dance. Even Jillian hard core. but in the last few years, I really got lazy. I started doing these palates in the last few weeks, along with some walking aerobics found on Roku. I am finally deciding that I am no longer going to be lazy. This world now is so stressful with all the lockdowns and government trying to keep us scared of a virus that when healthy has an over 99% chance of getting over no matter the age. So Bring it on. I am happy to be getting back into shape before the new year.

I love love love that you talk about proper technique! This is exactly the type of instruction I've been seeking!

Thank you for being someone I can follow. I have numerous issues and wanted to get back into shape.

I’m recovering from a broken femur and your workouts are helping me rebuild my confidence in my body. Thank you!

I loved this, my first time ever trying pilates, and it wasn't scary at all 🎉❤. Thank you so much.

Did this video this morning the third one I have tried by you and I really appreciate them thank-you

Like the adaption of going on to forearms during plank. Many thanks. ❤️

Thank you Jessica, feeling better every day!

I have tried pilates a couple of times before on You Tube but I haven't really ever enjoyed it. I just found this video today and WOW, I love it! It felt really good for my body and I like the way you gave options for beginners. I will definitely do this again and look at your other videos too. Thanks so much 🙏

Thank you so much it is convenient, beginners friendly and you feel much better post workout

Thank you! Very nice video.. I was super big into Pilates a few years ago and did even the reformer, which I LOVED, then whatever has happened and now Covid and I've lost so much strength. I've decided that me and my body really need to get back into this. I've decided to go slow and it's great, since I'm weak, but know the poses, I can take my time building up. Again, lovely video and thank you..

I've just started secondary and I decided to lose weight. This is great! I do it twice a day and I can see I'm getting a lot more supple (I used to struggle to touch my toes). 👍

i absolutely love your videos! i have been very discouraged by working out before, and they way you give different options and are so kind and encouraging really helps me!

I am just getting back into adding more to my yoga routine. I am 60 and have always worked out. I miss using weights and doing Pilates. Thanks, Jessica! I am looking forward to more videos.
