I bought an $8 bar at Aldi today and tried this out. I have been doing weight training and was shocked at how this kicked my butt! I'll definitely be doing the rest of the series!
After a long wait, my pilates bar FINALLY came in, so I was able to start this challenge. I love it! Day 1 really showed me how my arms really need some work!
This was a super informative qorkout and easy to follow! I got a pilates bar and struggled finding any workouts that really broke each step down. Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow!❤
Thank you so much for you’re content! I was having this bar with a few exercises on a paper… then I found you here and gonna follow this challenge! Just finish day one, and think I can’t wave tomorrow 🤣🤣 you are such a great teacher and you’re spirit is great! Thank you!
Definitely behind everyone! But started this challenge today! Glad I found your page this was a great first day as I'm still learning to use this Pilates bar.
I just got a Pilates bar. This was my first workout. Used the lowest weight bands that came with it (20lbs) and my arms are jelly! Loved this and excited to follow the 28 day challenge!
Oh wow! This was my first pilates band workout, and it was challenging! I'm glad I went with the lighter resistance option as I couldn't always get the full range of motion. I've been doing mat pilates for a while and have great core strength, but dang, my arms need some work. Thank you
Just did DAY 1 CHALLENGE!!!! Found it great to add on my off days from workouts with my trainer. It was a lil uncomfortable the first time around with my toes on the bar, but I understand it takes getting used to. Hope you are all doing well from Day !! Let’s get it!❤❤
Thank you so much! Loved day 1. My arms are burning 😂. Immediately realized how quickly I got out of shape. The video was perfect. Long enough to burn, short enough not to die….lol. I am in the US so my challenge day will be a day behind (due to time difference). I’m excited to get my strength and flexibility back. Look forward to day 2
Just joined - got my bar a few days ago and was not sure what to do next. I am so glad I found your channel - I am over 50 and glad to be taking lessons from someone more my own age....your classes look so good I decided to join and start with the 28 day challenge.
Welcome on board !!! Lots of fun and challenge in store for you! I am so confident you are going to love the 28 Day Challenge and notice a difference in your strength and endurance x Enjoy 😉 xx
So today marks day 1 one for me. I’ve had a lot of injuries in the last 4 years including surgeries and procedures so I am taking it day by day. I’m proud of myself for Day 1. 🎉
Day 1 done! I am seriously out of shape and couldn't fully do everything especially the to the side and lift your arm part but I did my best. Got a little sweaty. Can't wait for day 2!
Oh my goodness I could only do up to 7 mins!! A lot harder than I thought it would be. My arms were burning. Great video by the way. I am learning a lot and am curious what 28 days will look like . I figure it may take 40-50 days to actually complete the whole challenge due to how slow I will go :)
just joined - got my bar a few days ago , I am happy to find you RU-vid challenge, I am 64 and only 4 feet 10 inches.. can you tell how to shortened the ropes ?
Welcome onboard … you are going to have great fun with your bar … here’s the link to a short video explaining how to shorten them How to Tighten Pilates Bar Straps #pilatesbar ru-vid.comRpZN-tsEMdQ?feature=share
Good Morning … that’s great news. Enjoy the journey. My bar doesn’t have adjustable weights, I’d say keep it light and focus on getting the movements right, your breathing and your posture x Have fun with your bar 💯
Day 1 - complete! Yay!! Donna you are my fitness unicorn 🦄 - you kept me engaged, focused on form & body positioning. Normally, I'm checking every 2 mins "how much longer till the video ends"! Thank you for making this series available to those of us who want our groove back and for being so relatable!WE GOT THIS TEAM!! 🥰
We absolutely have got this … Stronger Together 💯💯!! Delighted to be your fitness Unicorn 🦄… Day 2 incoming and so much more fun to come. You’ve got this x. 🙌👍🥰
Great to hear you’ve started. 5 repetitions of each exercise is a great start. Keep listening to your body and do what feels right. Imagine how much stronger you’ll be in a couple of months time if you work your way through the challenge doing a workout every other day or every day, whatever works best for you. Be proud of yourself for getting started 💯❤️ One day at a time , you’ve got this x
Hi Donna -- just wanted to say thank you for making these videos available. I just got a bar and have started the workouts. They are really kicking my you-know-what. But that's a good thing. 😎👍
🙌🙌💥💥you’ve started 👏👏. Keep listening up your body & enjoy the journey. Your body will thank you 😊 & you will learn so much about yourself and your body x.
@PilateswithDonnaFinnie Oh wow, thanks for asking. I am committed and determined to finish. I have completed 11 days and on track to finish on the 28th. I enjoy your workouts and you often make me laugh which is good. Most times, I am laughing at myself fighting with the bar.The other day was a bit much on my knees, think day 7, wondered if I should have done that standing. Otherwise, I love the challenge of a different type of workout. Thanks for creating the challenge. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks for this amazing Pilates Bar Challenge. I have started today. 1/28 and I'll be back to let you know about my progress . Wishing you all the best . God bless you.
Wowzers! My shoulders are on fire! 🔥 I know this won’t be easy but I am in it! I had back surgery last September and was finally given the go ahead to get back into my workouts. Pilates from here on out. I need to get my strength back. It’s been way too long! I’m looking forward to giving my body what she needs. Strength, balance, love and grace. 🙏🏻💜
I found out i got fatty liver. It is bit high. I got a bar. This is a great workout. My daughter is 10 years old. She works to join. We are going Courage each other. Thank you
Whew! I thought I was fairly strong but this kicked my butt! I couldn't lift the bands nearly as high as you do! I have a new goal! Loved this and subscribed.
This was fantastic! I have Multiple Sclerosis, which comes with balance & strength issues. A low impact workout like this was awesome & am looking forward to the next 27 days!
I’ve done 3 days of your full body workout video from a year ago and finally decided to venture more into your entire RU-vid videos. Truth is Monday was day one and I only got 10 minutes into your 20 minute video. Tuesday my thighs were so sore it hurt to move around and I decided to skip that day. Wednesday and today Thursday I was able to do the full 20 minutes 🎉 I’m more confident and can’t wait to start this 28 day challenge tomorrow! 💪 ❤
How’s it going ?? I love that you are feeling more confident ❤️. This is your journey. Make the challenge something you look forward to, enjoy and benefit from. Take rest days when you need them , do more or less repetitions if that’s what your body needs. Progress takes time but is so worth it 💯💪. Enjoy 😉 Proud of you 👍
Welcome onboard. Congratulations on completing day 1. Getting started can be so challenging, please be proud of yourself and patient. Take the challenge a day at a time and give yourself rest days as and when you need them. It doesn’t matter if it takes you 2 months to complete….. you’ll hopefully get stronger physically and mentally through the process 🤞♥️. Take every day as a ‘win’ , please keep me posted on your journey 🙏, & most importantly reach out anytime, you are not alone xx 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks Donna! I did day 1 and it was tough though it looks so easy! I have had surgery on both my shoulders and they need to be strengthened. Am counting on this workout😊 You have a new subscriber 🙌
Lordy lordy!! My arms are like Jelly 😮 Much needed as my arms are my problem area ( not strength wise) It was also one I could do 😊 Loved it Thank you 😊❤
This is wonderful! With three kids and a busy job, I have fallen off my pilates commitment but recently got the bar and found you and this! Thank you so much. I'm going to do this. 27 days to go!
Welcome! Take it one day at a time, enjoy, rest if you need to and if an exercise doesn’t feel right for your body at the moment allow yourself to skip it x Enjoy x
I've recently started incorporating strength training into my wellness journey. I've never done pilates but it looked like something I could do that would be challenging and enjoyable. My arms are burning in that good way!
So happy I found your channel. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I’m starting tomorrow. I must say, your legs look fabulous. Are your thighs the result of just using the Pilates bar?
