Another year older, and my athletic body has naturally slowed down, and when I would try to do my usual routine, I would injure my back, and my worn knees. My chiropractor told me to try pilates using mat only. So, I searched You Tube and found The Girl with the Pilate Mat! Yay, Rachel is a really good instructor, and the instructions have really helped me so that i can do my regular daily activities because the tightness in hips, lower back and knees are gently stretched out! Thanks Rachel! ♦

Thank you so much. I am 44 and I have Ankylosing Sponylosis. I do "look" fit but I am not! I am also very iron deficient, which I am currently working on. This was rather strenuous for me. However I plan to do this every day until I am strong and then I will venture out on your other videos. I have a very hard time lying on the floor and part of that will be to gain strength and muscle along my spine. Just very thankful to have found this as I recover from thyroid cancer and try to heal the Crohn's disease. ❤

And also I wonder Why that whenever I do Yoga or Stretches I keep on Yawning... perhaps bc I am Breathing a lot.. I listen to your Directions of the Breathing, ty. I love how your are so Calm when you Speak, it so Relaxing.

@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat 9 ай бұрын

The pilates will both stretch and strengthen your hips, we focus on mobility and control in movement which is why it is so helpful for hip and back pain. The more you strengthen all the core muscles, the better the pian relief I have found. Keep up the great work xx 🤗
