You will hear my giddy excitement as you click on ‘play’. I loved filming this workout and I confident you will love it to!!
We begin with a warm up before picking up our bars to lunge, squat and truly challenge our balance and core stability. You may notice the odd wobble from me and shaking quads, YES I found it challenging and I LOVED it.
There is nothing more for me to say apart from ENJOY ❤

Day 5: czcams.com/video/yzajVYMi3zI/video.html
I've just finished this one. I don't know if I love you or I hate you 😂
😂 this is exactly how I felt - halfway through I was thinking DAMN YOU DONNA! but loved it nonetheless
😂🤣thank you for making me chuckle … that’s the kind of response I love ❤️
Hhahaahahahah right???
That was a tough one!!! Thank you for all the encouragement. It makes me keep coming back. My balance needs all the help it can get!
You are so welcome! Xx
I just bought my pilates bar a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t sure where to start and then found your 28-days challenge. I am so overweight & unconditioned since an injury in 2022. But I just finished Day 4 of challenge and it was not easy, but I did it!! Balance needs a lot of work, but will get better as I continue 😊 Thank you for this challenge!!
Day 4 done ✅ it’s a tough one , huge well done 👍 that’s fabulous news!
One day at a time , enjoy your bar, moving your body and enjoy the challenge x
Thank you Donna!! I found your channel last week and this is my forth video with you and the thoughest one!!! Lol!! But I finished it! I love your workouts and your calm voice!!! You are best! I will keep doing them every day in 28 days! 🙂
Great job! Xx
Nice, gradual build up of difficulty. Got my pilates bar in June at a garage sale - brand new, so you are helping me break it in. Sweating after this workout! Thanks for having these videos.
Glad to help! Enjoy your get and the 28 Day Challenge, it would very much great to follow your progress if you feel like checking in xx 😘
Loving the challenge, my son bought me a bar for Christmas and this is just what I needed to get started. Thank you 🇦🇺
Wonderful! That’s a great gift to receive … your boy did good 👍❤️enjoy the challenge xx
Than was AMAZING. I was sweating as if doing cardio. Thank you😉
Fabulous 👏🙌💪 xx
This is day 4 for me and I truly love your workouts.. I have a hip injury and have had a few different surgery. I feel great ❤
So good to hear you feel great and these workouts feel right for your body, delighted for you 💪 xx
I found this workout really challenging as lunges aggravate an SI joint issue/tight piriformis. I tried to modify but it would’ve been helpful to have some suggestions on alternatives….i probably should have skipped it and moved on to the next one. Love your channel, your pace and your enthusiasm. Great to have a Pilates instructor my age too!
Hi Anna … thank you for your feedback, much appreciated.
Always listen to your body. I love your enthusiasm and you sound very determined, both of which are fabulous but if you know your body and are good at tuning in to what it’s saying please don’t be hard on yourself if an exercise or whole session just isn’t right for you , skip it and allow yourself to move on, guilt free x
I love that you are doing the challenge, enjoy the process and please keep me updated . Have fun 🤩❤️xx
so glad i found you. I've been looking for bar workouts!
Glad you like them! Me too… we are going to have lots of fun together 💯🤩 xx
I just found these videos. Thank you! This is incredible. Slow paced, but wow what a workout!
Glad you like them! Thank you 🙏 enjoy xx
Donna, thank you for your encouragement throughout the workout. This was a good one. #feelinggreat 💚
Love that you are feeling great 👍💯.. you earned that feeling .. enjoy 😉 xx
Whew. Okay, THAT was spicy. I started this workout with some DOMS from the previous lower body workout (day 2?) and yikes. Broke a sweat and maybe said some not nice words but got through it! I’ve done 3/4 other challenges/series with my bar and this series so far is by far my favorite. Thank you!!
Day 4 is definitely a challenge and you are not alone in your thoughts and comments 😂💯…. You did it , that’s fantastic!! Lots more fun to come… enjoy xx
After the first leg day I thought, I need to go up a level on my bands, that wasn't as challenging. And so I started today like that. Had to pause and go back down. This one was indeed cheeky! Great workout though, I feel awesome now that it is done
It’s so cheeky … awesome 😎 job xx
Third time through the challenge - I only stumbled a couple times this time! This is a HARD one! But I can feel it all working. Thank you!
Amazing !!! Superstar ⭐️
this was tough!!! But felt so rewarding to have finished the whole workout!!! You can do it!!!!
You most certainly can and you did 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌!!! Brilliant effort … now on to day 5 and beyond … so much more fun to come xx
It was hard work and I don't have very good balance but it was really good and Donna is lovely and very motivating!
Huge well done 👍 Day 4 is super challenging 💪🙌💪🙌💪🙌 xx
Wow Donna, love your videos! I started on your 20 minute full work out pilates bar but wanted to do your 28 day challenge. Both are great and I thoroughly enjoy your workouts. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you 🙏 much appreciated xx
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm.
Would you be so kind as to share your thoughts on my CZcams channel in general or maybe the 28 Day Challenge… absolutely no pressure x x 🥰

This was such a great leg workout! Made me very happy I bought the bar. Thank you!
You're so welcome! 😁😁😁
I am recovering from my injury and my doctor said I could resume my workouts, but nothing crazy. My friend recommended me a Pilates bar. I came across your channel on the internet and started the challenge. It has been a great experience so far! And the challenge also keeps me motivated and disciplined! Thank you so much, Donna! I’m your fan now 😃
PS: today’s workout was challenging!
Brilliant workout, loving this challenge. Thank you Donna 😀
You're so welcome! So glad 🙂 xx
WowThank you soo much. On Day 4 and having to do every other day as I was aching too much. Never been able to do Pilates until now. ❤❤
Day 4 is a challenge for sure 😅. Great work … pace the 28 Day Challenge and fit it around your life & energy levels . It doesn’t matter if it takes you 2 months to complete, you will still reap the benefits and have succeeded ❤️🙌
@PilateswithDonnaFinnie Thank you very much Donna 😊 💖
Whoo that was the toughest one yet for me! Thanks Donna! I love your videos and your positive and sweet attitude! I used to lift pretty heavy but these workouts have kicked my butt, I didn't realize pilates could be such a great and effective strengthing workout! Thanks!
I love hearing feedback on the workouts and I'm delighted to know you are enjoying and feeling the benefit. Great work , keep it going xxx
This one was tough! Doing this challenge has made exercise fun again, I. love wondering what the next day will bring! Thank you!
You're so welcome! How’s its going … what day are you up to on the challenge?? Xx
i never have done pilates and i came across your page. I am so glad i did. You are too sweet and you explain things that make it make sense. Thank you! i look forward to day 5!
I'm so glad! You are so welcome 🙏 enjoy 😉 xx
awesome challenge so far! I have loved every move so far and look forward to finishing this challenge. I'm having surgery next week (gallbladder) so I'll down for a bit but hoping to be back at it sooner rather than later!!!
Hope the surgery went well, wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 x
This one kicked my ass big time!! My left thigh is still quivering after that.
Ive always hated working out SO much and I am so thoroughly enjoying the slow pace of these.
And now I will feel like i earned every bite of my dinner!💪
Thank you for taking the time to write…. Great to hear your positivity and that you are enjoying the workouts. We need to find something we enjoy and can make progress with and then being consistent feels a whole lot more fun. Enjoy 😉 and be proud of yourself xx
Thank you Donna! That was the hardest one yet! When you said we weren’t done with the same leg yet I was like oh man lol then knowing you still have to do all of that on the other side. Great exercises. Feeling stronger already and was sweating through this one.
It’s a tough one and I am sure there have been many a wobble and curse through this one but you did it!! Feeling stronger is a great place to be 💯 x
Huge well done xx
This was so hard. I was flying through 1-3 and I thought ok I got this and then came 4. At first I could only do 11 minutes. Isolating each leg was extremely hard but I came back the next day and did 17 min and today I finish the entire workout. I think I will stay on this #4 one more time since It was so difficult and then move on to the rest. I definitely appreciate you. I never really got into working out at home not too much. I bought a rowing machine don't use it too often but something about the Pilates Bar that I absolute love. My body feels so strong after my workout that I can't wait until the next day to do it again. I'm hoping by March 4 which is my Birthday I will have at least lost 15 lbs and gain more muscles. I don't need to loose a lot of weight just want to tighten everything up. You are a great encouragement. Hopefully after I finish the 28 day challenge, I can continue on with the rest of your videos. I have never felt so strong in a short period of time within my entire body. Even my gym membership didn't work all the muscles like your workout does. Sorry for writing this long novel but I just want you to know that I really appreciate your videos and I love your personality. Keep encouraging us to stay fit and healthy. I am definitely listening.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I really appreciate your openness and honesty. We are all a work in progress … it can be really hard to find something that we enjoy doing, that challenges us & we feel motivated to continue with. It’s great to hear you are enjoying your Pilates Bar workouts and feeling stronger for all your efforts . Be VERY proud of yourself and please keep me updated on your progress xx 😘
Most definitely!@@PilateswithDonnaFinnie
Holy Moly, woman!!!!! That was a tough one. Every time you said, "Now, hold!" I wanted to shout at my screen LOL. Thank you for an amazing workout! I can feel myself getting stronger already!
AWESOME 🤩 🙌💯👍. Your message made me laugh 😂 xx
This workout was truly naughty and nice. Thank you. I love all your workouts.

Still up for the challenge? czcams.com/video/agvyQM4HVQE/video.html
4/28 done.amazing
Bravo 👏!!! You are amazing 🤩 xx
I tried my best but this one was very hard on my knees and they are not the best or strongest joints. I can’t lunge that far. Thank you for these videos though. I get a really good workout
Hi Lisa
Great to hear from you.
Keep going with the challenge, skip the days that your body isn’t favouring and be proud of your efforts. Enjoy moving and learning about your body xx
Day 4 round 2 done.😁 I wonder if it's just me that doesn't do lunges properly 😬🫣 it was hard 😭🥴
So many have felt the same challenge as you x
Keep up the great work and keep listening to your body xx
I’m not thank you for this one 😂😂😂😂 it kicked my butt. Age 67 ❤
It’s a touchy for sure 💯😅❤️
Challenging and a good sweat. Unfortunately, my knees are not a fan of lunges
Yes totally agree , this one is super challenging 👍👏
Day 4 completed.
bit of a jump in level for me after just starting with your days 1-3. i might repeat those 3 until i feel more comfortable doing this one.
Day 4 is v challenging… so many people have felt this way !!! Day 4 done ✅ yaaay! Xx
This was challenge for me i was shaking a lot on my left side. I finished.😓😅
Awesome job !!! I love your determination 👏👏👏
That was a tough one.
Isn’t it !!! But .. you did it 💪🥰
Uh, this was really tough, but i love the challenge! (Due to sickness i just started on Sunday)
Great to have you onboard…. I love your enthusiasm. Listen to your body if you are recovering from illness and take a rest day if you need to. Enjoy xx
Just finished this one and I'm sweating haha!! Just a feedback that i find helpful for workouts i do ....can you advise how many reps we are actually doing ahead of time so we know to focus on completing the necessary exercise? it may just be me but if I know how many I need to do I can focus properly on my form and then count down 😊 and same as going into the holds and extra reps at the end of that because I then would have began standing up and it throws the next few reps before I catch up....this probably doesn't make sense but I'm thoroughly enjoying this challenge so thank you 😊
Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated & I totally understand what your saying and why , thank you x
Day 4 is super challenging 🙌💯 x
sweating !!
Love it … working hard 😓 xx
is it meant to be so difficult to keep the bar from not swinging towad the back leg or those lunges? I feel so much work trying to keep the bar in fron to fme that I can't really focus on my legs.
So struggling to do these 😢
I can't bend that far down on one leg . One leg wobbles posture shoulders sigh the brain struggles to .
Think these are far more advanced to where my body is at grrr . Lol
This one was a challenge so many people . One day at a time, some days are more challenging than others, be proud of your efforts. It’s ok to have favourites and it’s ok to miss exercises that just don’t work for your body, or your energy or where you are at on your fitness journey x
Be proud of your efforts xx
Killer! 😮
However it’s good to know you survived 💪🔥💯 xx
This is so nice
This kick my booty!
Ouch !!!
Ouch tough class 😮
💯💯💯for me too!! X
Ouf this one was really hard. Kept losing balance and my form wasn’t very good. I’ll keep going though.
So many people have said the said.. I know I felt challenged and had to really focus to balance. Progress takes time …. You’ve got this xx 💯🥰
What can be substituted for lunges?
You could swap out lunges for squats … lots of them 😂🥰 xx
