Thank you Rachel! I was “glowing” after this one. Please explain again how to protect my lower back with the leg dips. Sometimes I over do it. ❤ From CA
Ooh yes, I have glutes.😮 Didn't have small band so shortened my newly bought long band, was glad it didn't snap!😐 Thanks again Rachel, have a a great week.😊
You're so welcome! And I am dleighted you enjoy the style I teach with no music! Well done for starting your exercise and I hope you will come and see me again very soon 🤗 Welcome to my channel ⭐️
Fun to revisit this challenging mini band class, I moved up to my “heavy” band which was great for most of it, struggled a bit when feet/legs were straight above me, with band on ankles or feet, hard to move much!🥵😂 but a rewarding session!
Hi Rachel! Thank you again for your advice on stretching out my calves. I am feeling much better after today's class and a follow up stretch. I really, really found these exercises with the loop band to be so beneficial. The band helps to target more of the muscles I need to strengthen and believe me, I felt the burn on a number of those moves!! Today was great. Thank you!
Love the mini band, wanted to try this again, as I struggled first time with keeping everything moving without having band launch across the room😂 Much better this time, wonderful challenging session for strength and toning (and coordination, for me anyway 🤪)😊❤
Whew🥵🥵! I love having alternative mini-band sessions , but I loved your previous one, I was more comfortable and familiar with the moves. This one was harder, especially the moves on our back with legs in the air - trying to listen, watch and follow you, while keeping tension in bands AND protect my lower back, was tough!🤪 I tried to remember your wonderful tip about leaning my legs in a bit (towards my head), but the band was fighting me!😅 I was afraid it wou go flying off! Oh, well, first time is always tough, I’ll keep working at it. Thanks for all your wonderful sessions, more mini-band choices, please! Forces us to work on coordination, too.😊
Hi Sue, glad you are liking the mini band sessions xx This one was a challnege as I wnated to feer a workout without outting stress on the knees - no squats you notice!! That meant getting creative and withthat there is always a new challenge. So well done for doing this, you were out of your comfort zone but you did it it anyway and for that you I applaud you 👏👏👏 Keep up the great work Sue xx
It was very clever, I remember you saying in the chat, safer for those with knee issues, and that is so important! I couldn’t help thinking as I was doing it, “Rachel, you clever, cheeky woman, working on our coordination and challenging our brains, too!@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat while being safe for knees, osteoporosis! Impressively done!”😉🤗💪🏻🦵🏻🍑
Really got my gluts working! Reminded some sleepy muscles to get going!😆 Enjoyed the workout but is it only me that finds lying on pubic bone very uncomfortable or is this common?
Thank you Rachel for a great session :) How can I cope because I can't have straight legs and keep my pelvis properly positioned? in 15.48 min. Can I work with bent knees to properly support my core and pelvis? Please give me suggestions :)
Hi Olga, yes that's fine to work with bent knees. Keep the movement small and focus on core stability, if it helps place your hands on your lower abdominals to help your brain 'tune in' to the work. My other suggestion is to put the band above the knees and try it that way, you may find that helps engage the muscles and give you better traction to do the exercise. Let me know how you get on xx
@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMatRachel, thank you very much, during the practice, I did it intuitively as you suggested, and it suited me well, I felt that the muscles were working properly. I am grateful for reassurance that I am doing the right thing and this modification is ok. Very helpful for me 💛🙏
Hi Gemma, The mat is from Corkspace and the band is from Core Steady which I founbd on the UK Amazon site. Remember you can do this workout without the band which may be a way to start if you are in pain. I wour suggest you do this vidoe for your hip and back pain and see how you feel afterwards; ruclips.net/video/Vp_YF1mhCs8/видео.html Take care, Rachel 🤗
@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat Hi Rachel, I have sent you a DM on IG as I have a band but I fear it may be the wrong one. Thank you I will try that video out.
Loving the small band classes! I can really feel it working! Thank you Rachel! And looking fabulous for 58 too! Beautiful 😊

Agree, lots going on to focus on, but that is why I love pilates! And I appreciate a knee friendly routine. Roll-ups were challenging for me.
Very good thanks
You’re most welcome ☺️
Bedankt

I didn't have a mini band, however, I really concentrated on tightening my glutes. It was great!!
Wonderful and well done, you will have made a difference by doing it. Bravo Carol xx
I am in a lot pain with low back, hips and pelvis
Hoping this helps
