My daughter introduced me to Pilates when I was 44 because I had 15 pounds I just couldn’t shed and was thinking about a tummy tuck. I had been trying to lose that weight for a few years and within six months I dropped more than 20 pounds and went back to my beautiful maintenance weight. It’s amazing! I then started incorporating yoga and I enjoy both. I’ll be doing it for the rest of my life.
Wow, what an incredible story! Love that you were able to get incredible results and it sounds like it's a workout that really suits your body! Thanks for sharing!
Pilates has changed my life!! I am only 2 months in and am so exciting for the continual growth it will bring (physically mentally spiritually) all of it! so empowering and healing
I resonate to this a lot. Pilates was the only regimen that i could stick to. I am a lot stronger. My body feels so light despite being the same weight.
My goal was to find a work out routine I would be consistent with as Pilates was it! Second goal was to find something that wasn’t boring and challenging and Pilates was it! Third goal was to work every single part of my body and Pilates does just this. Next goal was to build core strength and Pilates has helped so much with my core strength and posture. Losing weight was the last thing on my goal list. I love and enjoy reformer Pilates 3x week
Loved your message! I started Pilates in Feb 2023, once a week, and I notice I am more aware of my body, and posture which helps to be mindful of my posture and correct it, especially, sitting in the office for long periods.
This is exactly what I need to hear. I’ve been experiencing lower back and hip pain for several years and have finally discovered it is because of weak glutes and core. But they are so weak I cannot manage very much, but this has encouraged me that 5-10 mins daily WILL help. Thank you
I love Pilates. Only been doing it for a month but I’m glad it gives me a format for how to move my body. It makes me feel good all over. I wish I started during the pandemic.
This is so true, focusing on the differences you feel is such a good motivator. I found myself noticing things outside of class that would have been hard becoming easier and it was such a boost to my confidence and my motivation to keep going! I have noticed physical changes too which ironically are what I first started for but now find i'm less focused on them or motivated by them because i'm focusing on how I feel rather than look.
I love this message! I think I have needed to listen to my body for a long time and do what feels good for me instead of trying to do what’s working for someone else.
Love the explanation, this motivates me to get back into Pilates and not focus on instant results, you are right tho, after the first work out you see a difference in your core and can’t stop looking in the mirror, I did this last night lol
Great video. I haven’t started yet but I’ll definitely be asking myself lots of questions before and after my session now. My main reason for wanting to try Pilates is to support my scoliosis and reduce back pain, but you mentioned lots of other benefits I haven’t thought of. Thanks for sharing
An excellent presentation. It was great to learn the positive effects. I have been taking Mat Pilates classes for a few years now. I'm sure it has helped to reduce my asthma symptoms.
I do practice Pilates I do Pilates at least 3 times a week. I follow blogilates it's a 6 days a week WO Program. I break it down because of other things I do like Yoga, Weights. It's hard to do yoga and Pilates everyday 3 times a week is better then nothing.
I’ve only been doing reformer Pilates for a few weeks now and I feel amazing. I also walk every day at least a mile-10k steps. I can only do 2x a week for now but hoping I can see the results I feel soon! 💕
I have a rheumatic illness which makes exercise painful. I really want to strengthen up. I've been doing yoga for years and love it for keeping me flexible but want to incorporate strength training. Which type of pilates would be good to go next level 💕
First of all, it's so impressive that you've kept up yoga while also dealing with this painful illness. Way to go! As far as which type of Pilates I would highly recommend starting with a certified Pilates instructor one-on-one. They can learn your body and any restrictions/limitations your dealing with and customize exercises to not only ease your body's discomfort but also build strength, balance and stability. Cheering you on and please feel free to send any more questions my way- you can reach me directly through my website at www.noellerobertsstudio.com.
Can you explain about changes and impact when moving from weightlifting into pilates? I feel everyone talks about people going from 0 to pilates, but what about already fit people leaning towards pilates? Thanks!!
Great question! What I’ve noticed with clients that have come from the weight lifting space is that they actually get a lot more precision with their execution of movement and learn to feel/fire the smaller stabilizers as well as the global movers. Plus there’s the added benefit of more mobility with a regular Pilates routine! I think the two practices really go hand-in-hand and are a beautiful compliment to each other.
@@noellerobertsstudio I'm so glad to hear that! The moves in Pilates are balanced as to why I prefer doing Pilates more than any exercise really. Before, my walking is a bit unbalanced now I can feel it aligning, and hiit is effective for a workout. 🤓
ok.... so how often and how long each session once you already started the routine and want to continue to start seeing the results? I know she said start with 10 mins, but if you are able to keep up 30 mins each time, every second day... then what is optimal to keep up?
Pilates is gentle enough to do every day due to it being low impact. That said, be sure to listen to your body and rest when needed- just because it’s gentle on your joints doesn’t mean you won’t get sore and fatigue muscle. 💪
please i want to know how to combine pilates and weight lifting i do 2 times of weight lifting for my booty and i dont know how to introduce pilates i didn't find the answer any where so please respond. oh and i do 3 times hiit exercice in the week also.
you can do pilates for abs of arm strength since it’s the part of your body your not practicing (i dont know how to say it) while doing weights or hiit. i’ve doing 2 times per week cardio, 2 times weights for glutes and the rest abs or arms or a combination! just do what feel comfortable for your body, hope this helps!💗
how often should you be doing pilates to see results for the 10-20-30 session rule to be applicable, because i could be doing those 10 sessions once each week or once everyday and general progress of the body may vary alot during that course.
Why is it so hard to get a simple straight answer? I can't find someone who just gets to the point and not waste 30 mins talking about what EVERYBODY else is attempting to explain. Is it yes or no! Jesus
