This was exactly what I needed today. I have been doing pilates for 8+ years, and my physical therapist recommended I get back to fundamentals and do a few sessions really focusing on doing the basic movements with great form. I really appreciate your detailed comments on getting the form right on each of these movements. Thank you, Melanie!
I love to hear that - thank you so much for sharing! I fully agree with your PT, it’s often good to give yourself an opportunity to get back to basics and refresh from time to time.
I am an actual absolute beginner. I did a few discounted classes at my local studio and felt the benefit to my body, but when I looked at the ongoing cost of classes and compared it to the cost of purchasing my own reformer, I decided to purchase a reformer instead. I found this video easy to follow and very helpful. I'll probably keep doing it until I feel strong enough in the basics to progress. This entire type of exercise is new to me so I am very gumby. One thing that would be helpful is to have a second camera angle from your perspective looking at the footbar, so I can be sure that my feet are spaced correctly and are at the correct angle. Just a thought! Thank you very much for your content. Subscribed!
Fantastic!!! Melanie you are an amazing instructor. The best I have ever encountered in person or virtual! Your instructions are excellent. I love the slow pace to work on form and breathing. I also appreciated your modifications since I have had two back surgeries. Thank you!!!!💗💗💗💗🙌🙌🙌🙌

Thank you! Perfect for after sickness and to review my form!!
Good, so glad it helped! How are you feeling, sickness-wise?
@MelanieLopezPilates I finally went to the doc, I have a bad sinus infection, so I'm on antibiotics. I'm already feeling better! Thanks for caring!
@juliebridge7590 ugh, those are the worst. Glad that you got the care you needed and that you’re on the mend xox
