Loving the standing workouts with the weights. The weights are making a huge difference to my strength and are sculpting my shape. Please keep them coming!
I came back to this one this morning as I love weights and ballet moves. This time I was able to do all the balance moves except the stretch with the hand pulling up one leg while balancing on the other. I had to modify by putting one hand on a counter. I was quite pleased with my balance throughout. At 82, your workouts are essential to my day.
Very beneficial for all of us. I am your new friend and I’m having so much fun with some challenges 😜most definitely m posture improves and I look much taller and confident 💓🌹🥰thanks for your wonderful ballet pillates and healthy support for aging women 🥰
Hello Rachael A wonderful session. I really enjoyed it because my hip was feeling tight. Oh! I love the weights and the stretches also the mix up. I'll do it again, that make me feelreally good. ❤Love, love, love it.
Thank you for today, it was needed, I found out I have Ostiopenia, so trying to do what i can to help to not get worse. I appreciate what you do for people...
love this ballet inspired session. I have no weights so used two bottles of hand cream, seemed to work for me! The movements take me back 60 years to my ballet classes.
Thank you. My tiny weights arrived in the post so I had to try the workout. Really enjoyed it although if I had been wearing a tutu I would have wrecked it! No co-ordination but I am doing the session on a hot evening at 9.30 p.m. and it is still 32C. ❤ The exercises relax the brain so much after a hectic day at work on a computer and sitting for far too long.
Well done Heather. Wonderful to hear, especially doing itin 32C! That is so hot, it's only 4C here in the UK 🥶 !!! Keep up the great work and love that you do it after a hectic day, just what you need to wind down the mind and release any tension in the body xxx
Been away from your classes for a few weeks, so glad to have found this new session this morning! Had to work hard on the balance and coordination, just what I need to practise! Thanks so much Rachel for all your wonderful work. You have no idea how many people you reach 🥰
Hi Rachel. This was challenging for me, as I usually do the seniors workout. But I felt that my arms and legs got a real workout. I will have to do this again to get it right. Thank you for what you do. ❤
Another great class Rachel, these weight workouts are so good. Somehow the ballet inspired workouts challenge my balance & brain training more than other workouts. Love them.
This s nice. At age almost 70, my balance is iffy. I’m a runner with gluteal tendonitis and keep looking for ways to exercise without damage. Most of this works. My upper body is powerful from stall cleaning and other horse related activities so the arm exercises are not stressful. I’m hoping this helps my balance and hip function and osteoarthritis. Thank you!
I am following you from Montreal Rachel and I believe that you are one of the best. I really really appreciate your videos and what you do for us is immensely useful.
Super class especially since I’ve moved into Osteoporosis of my lumbar & hip area😒 . Love your class variety and helpful suggestions. I’ve regretfully regressed from intermediate to senior level sessions but always feel so much better following your videos. Thank you so much Rachel 🥰
This got me thinking in terms of strength and balance. I have suffered with frozen shoulder/bursitis so I put the weights down for some of it but still loved it and felt very chilled afterwards.
Another great session, dear Rachel! I love ballet inspired Pilate. I’m 66 years old, recovering from the trigeminal nerve pain surgery done 2 weeks again and have started to follow you again. Please continue with your great hard work. You are always an inspiration.
LOVED this, Rachel! Please continue to incorporate ballet, as you can. I really like to strive for proper form, especially with the ballet moves. Your elegant form is definitely my inspiration! I've been with you for about a year and have achieved more strength in my arms, legs, and core. Thank you for your commitment to teach!
Great workout Rachel, always enjoy sessions with weights and lovely with the ballet inspired moves. definitely need to concentrate on the arm movements when lifting your legs! thank you as always. 🤩
Another lovely class, Rachel. I needed a balance challenge and this did the trick! Thank you. I sometimes put quiet background music on as I exercise, but often 'zone it out' concentrating on getting the movement/breathing right 😂.
That made me sweatier than the intermediate classes! My dying swan was more of a dead duck; I might cancel the tutu order since I don't think the Royal Ballet will knocking on the door any time soon!
Oh Rachel, thank you so very much!Woke up with stiff knees and worried about doing the workout but went forward with the class; Needless to say, my knees feel GREAT after the workout!!! You always know exactly what we need🎉🌅✌🏻🙏🏻. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL💖
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for your standing workout. Do you have any 5 - 10 mins standing workouts aimed at relaxing at the end of the day/towards bedtime?
Hello 👋 How about a gentle standing stretch? Try these: 7 Minute Standing Daily Stretch for relaxation ruclips.net/video/kfrbE-UUVZA/видео.html 5 Minute Standing Stretch Rotuine for Flexibility ruclips.net/video/QcxSC3gI3rU/видео.html Best wishes, Rachel 🤗
Another excellent class. During one exercise I really had to concentrate to ensure my arms and legs were doing the right thing! (Challenging like patting your head and rubbing your tummy a the same time 🤣). Well done Rachel. Jacky
Back from holiday yesterday, wanted to ease back into Pilates, decided to do Monday’s class first, as I usually love ballet-inspired with weights. I can see this would be challenging and fun for most, but ataxia (with right arm and leg weakness, hard to control), this one has too many movements with each arm going different directions, and each leg going another! I became hopelessly muddled, frustrated and just kept both feet flat and parallel, just did what I assumed was the weight-lifting move we were shooting for!🥵😉🫨🥴I will stick with more straightforward sessions for me personally, but well done you for keeping it fresh and challenging!😅 have a lovely weekend, everyone!
Loving the standing workouts with the weights. The weights are making a huge difference to my strength and are sculpting my shape. Please keep them coming!
Always enjoy your workouts, especially the workouts for osteoporosis.
i like the class just as it is. no music is fine. helps me to listen to my body. ❤
Exactly!
Whoa looked easy but very challenging,I have to change from 3# to a pound weights. Goodness got a lot of work to do. Thanks for great teaching ❤❤❤❤

Thank you - tried the 15 minute Resistance band floor workout. Very nice.

I did the workout late this evening, it’s so good, thank you ❤
Phew! For some reason I struggled a bit with balancing this morning. But, as usual, I enjoyed it.
So good to work with the weights en also a little balletschool, thank you so much!!!!!!
Another amazing workout! Love getting the “bonus” arm work. You are a great fitness role model. ❤
Loved this also. Nice and challenging. The weights and standing are great. Thank you.

That made me sweatier than the intermediate classes! My dying swan was more of a dead duck; I might cancel the tutu order since I don't think the Royal Ballet will knocking on the door any time soon!
That was fun. I love the osteo weight bearing exercises. Definitely more of those please.
Thank you love your classes. Glad cute Boo is still attending your classes too.
I loved this! Reminded me of my childhood ballet classes which brought joy! Gratitude to you dear Rachel. ❤
Love them and love you!!
Aww thank you! xxx

No music please. Everything is great just how it is.
I second this. I love this chanel because it is calm an no music
I second that no music rather hear your instructions it’s music to our ears.
i love ballet class!!!! regards ,from Argentina. Peggy
No 🎶 just your melodious voice 🤗
I loved ❤Thank you ❤
Attitudes, that’s what they’re called , thank you! My nemesis, apparently!😅
Challenging but in a good way. I need practice in balancing.
Help! I couldn’t balance ……so embarrassing ☺️Huh, guess what I’ll be practising for the next few days xxx
This one was hard for me, but I did it and enjoyed it. My 3lb weights felt heavy! 😂
2nd coment love from india 😍
❤❤❤❤❤
Not for me this one but there’s so much choice on the channel there is something for everyone.
❤❤❤ 😘🙅🏻♀️
❤️🤗
✳️💚
A little light music would be lovely.
My dogs are not following your dog’s example. They want the weights that are meant to be in my hands, which are now outside 😹
Very tricky especially on the balance
Too much for my brain, clearly!🥴oh, well, good to know my limitations.
