I ‘ve been doing your videos for 8 months now and I am so happy to add Pilates, stretching and dumbbells to my days. It has really made a difference in my energy, my balance and my sleep. I’m 57 and think this is the best health I’ve ever been in.
I love that you assure beginners (Im one of them) that it is okay to skip through something that is too much at the moment. I hope that in time they build the strength to do the complete workout! You can do it, I believe in you!!!
I have been using this video and her ten minute dumbbell workout to help me come back from a four-year illness where I was essentially bedridden. I am mobile and feeling really great again. Thank you so much for these encouraging full beginner workouts! They are good for your mind as well as your body.
I want to say thankyou for being so encouraging to beginners of all kinds. I have hypermobility and associated chronic pain. I just graduation college and the career I want seemed like it might have become an impossible dream because of my body and the fear I had of the gym and being able to exercise and gain strength without hurting myself. I've only been following along with your videos for the past few days but it's already the most confident I've felt in my ability to actually do something and improve. I can honestly say I cried because of your encouragement. Thankyou for making these videos and making them accessable.
What I like the most is the fact you explain the position of each movement, as a teacher, to correct bad positions. Thank you for sharing and be there .
I'm enjoying your classes and will join the community tomorrow. Nobody could be more inspiring, with both your professional and personal life. Keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you fast healing. ☮🕉☯️
I loved this beginner’s Pilate workout. I love that Jessica talks you through the entire workout and even gives modified versions to help us get through it. I feel rejuvenated and more flexible after this.
I love the workout too, but for me, too much talking, especially as I like to revisit my favourite workouts frequently and the long explanations interfere with the smooth transitions. It would be good to have a version without the additional comments, just the instructions.
Ive been doing your youtube pilates for a few months now and I can feel the benefits now. I can move easier into positions that I couldn't do before and my belly is getting flatter and firmer. Happy days!! . Im also suffering from osteoarthritis and awaiting a hip replacement so your arthritis videos are a blessing. Thank you Jessica
I am newer to Pilates after suffering a hip injury after my marathon. You are an excellent teacher for all levels involved while explanations that make sense. I love feeling stretched and strong. I hope it gets me back to running again- thanks a lot!
I started your videos 2 weeks ago! Haven’t seen much difference other then my arms & stomach becoming a little more toned but I know it takes time! Im so excited to see where this journey with you takes me, your videos relax me so much with everything that’s happened recently in my life so thank you for that!
Thank you so much for the variety, the positivity and sharing your story. I do daily workouts with you from here in New Zealand and they are very much part of my favourite time of day. I’m 50 and just loving it. 🙏🏼
Just started doing this and absolutely ❤it. I have been exercising for 10 years now but have never been in love with my work outs.. will continue doing this...
Girl I am 12 minutes in and my legs are on FIRE, omg this is amazing. Thank you for making this in such a calm and affirming manner. I can't wait to see what my body can do!
Hi Jessica Thank you for your videos I m 63 with scoliosis degenerative discs and osteoarthritis and first started with your exercises for scoliosis now doing with the Pilates I feel so much better
I really appreciate that your videos aren't set to music! It makes it easier for me to focus on the instructions. Thanks for such great instructional videos. I'm enjoying them!!
I have been exercising with you for several years. I am now 75. I need Pilates more than ever. I so enjoy your positive outlook and of course your classes. I haven't found any classes I enjoy more.
Thank you for all of your encouragement. You make me feel good about beginning (this is my 4th attempt at beginning Pilates) and you make everything so wonderfully accessible. I feel better already and can’t wait to see how my ability progresses with your instruction.
I have been struggling to overcome injuries while trying to continue to workout. I have had several people recommend Pilates. I just started your videos two days ago and I am hooked. I love LOVE how patient and encouraging you are, and I especially appreciate that you are also a PT
Jessica, Wow, I completed your work out and couldn’t believe I pulled it off. First time watching and I’m already a big fan. Ive been retired for two years now and I only walk everyday. I used to do Pilates years ago but then got into other exercises . I’m so excited to be on this journey and have you as my instructor. Your voice is so relaxing and you make this so much fun. Looking forward to checking your other videos. Thanks a bunch.
I was so stiff and sore from grooming our 3 Bouviers yesterday and I searched for something to help stretch my back and legs out and did this video. It feel so much better now. Thank you so much!
I love love love doing your Pilates workouts! They’re helping me get back into shape after a looong break from strength training, my favourite part is bringing the leg to one side and the head to the other, cracks bones I didn’t even know I had lol! Thanks a ton
I just did your 20 minute total body for beginners and it was wonderful for my back injury and I just recommended you to my mom who is just starting her journey in fitness at 65.
I'm struggling with the side effects of a concussion. It will be a year next month. I'm not able to do sports or whatever because it makes me so tired and dizzy. I found you Monday. What a relief and a joy. I'm so happy to be moving again. Thank you so much🎉
Recently I have fell on my foot and torn my ligaments playing basketball, ever since I haven’t done any exercise and I’m so happy I tried your video out because I did my first workout in a while without risking injuring my foot. Thank you!
I just checked out some of your pilates routines and I really love them ! I started this one today and I really enjoyed it ! I'll keep practicing this routine and others !
Just found you Jessica and I am challenging myself to do pilates every day in January... 2 days in and 100 % so far. 👍😂. I'm really enjoying your tutorials, so thank you from the UK.
Thank you for putting out such a great lesson. This was my first Pilates and it definitely won't be my last! As a professional massage therapist, this will give me so many benefits. I appreciate you! ❤
I tore a muscle in my abdomen a few years ago and have had a very difficult time getting back to being active since then because it feels so weak. Your videos are so helpful and you're a fantastic instructor! I set a New Year's goal to do pilates every week with your videos. Thank you!
I’m new to Pilates & am loving this workout. I’m 56 & putting weight on my stomach & hips. After 2 weeks I am noticing a difference already and beginning to tone up. I can’t wait to try your other workouts. Thank you!!
I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful and challenging offering of workouts. I have always felt non-athletic and not paid attention to my body. Now in my 50's, I hope to be my healthiest, and have started with your workouts. I am so moved by the kindness and warmth to each video. I really feel like wherever I am in my workout journey, it is ok. I've always judged myself harshly - your reminders to celebrate what is possible means so much. Thank you. Sending deep gratitude and good vibes your way.
Thanks so much for these videos. I have been doing them for about a month and really appreciate the results. You explain things very well which helps on this kind of format. I am 60 and have really changed it up in all ways to have a healthy decade. Thanks again!
This was great, I've been doing another of your Pilates beginners workouts for a few days now and I'm so glad I found you. I can't wait for the day I'm able to do everything! I currently have to do this in my bed but that doesn't stop me! I now looking forward to getting up and doing these workouts in the morning :)
Thank you for this! I'm 9 months pp and still getting back into movement, when I've truthfully never really found anything that I've enjoyed. However I've done three of your beginner videos now and I actually enjoyed them! They are proper beginner and I'm so thankful for that. Pilates fits all the things I was looking for as a new mom. Increasing strength and flexibility and continuing to heal my core. I'm looking forward to continuing your videos
I loved this video! I have found many others a bit discouraging if I’m not able to do a specific exercise. However I found yours very encouraging! Thank you
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. I’ve struggled with chronic back pain and knots in my back for years and after doing this video and being encouraged the entire time I feel so hopefully for healing and for strengthening. I’m just so grateful she exists and does this 🥹🩷😅
I'm just new here. I'm in my 50's. I'm trying to do the best for my health. Last year, I changed my patterns from nutrition, exercises, and sleeping patterns. I have been trying to do pilates for a long time now. I feel frustrated because it seems so difficult to me to do some of the exercises. I do Dumbells, resistance, and Cardio weekly. I have problems with my flexibility and mobility. My Doctor recommended pilates. My budget is tight now, I haven't been able to subscribe to pilates classes. Your video came to me as recommended, and I'm so happy. You know how to explain the principles so well. Thank you. I just subscribed to your channel.
Really enjoyed doing this workout with you. It felt good exploring how my body wants to move right now and, having experienced intense, hard driving in-person Pilates classes in the past, I appreciate your kind, nonjudgmental encouragement throughout the workout!☀️☀️☀️
Love this video! You are such a great, knowlegdeable, and encouraging instructor! I am recovering from an injury- I had to completely rehab my pelvis and I love the gentle approach to starting pilates with modifications so I can build fitness.
This is my very first time learning Pilates. I am so thrilled with your messages, thank you so much. I’m a new subscriber and I’m looking forward to strengthening my body at 54 with your instruction. 🎉
What a wonderful class! 💙 I just found you and the sentence, that beginners are at a special time in their life’s is fabulous!! I did lots of yoga but sometimes my back gets even worse… so I will try more Pilates from now on - and one of my closest friends in the USA has her 50. birthdays today - I will sent this link to her as kind of a present… thank you from Germany!
