    I like that you explained the "why" certain moves. I seem to wobble all over the place (hypermobile) so when you give those reminders, it really helps. Thanks for these great videos, Jessica.

    Jessica , thank you for these wonderful videos! I’ve been using them to increase my strength since coming out out of hospital. 5 weeks in a coma results in a lot of muscle wastage and it was through I would need a wheelchair, but I’m up and about walking now and doing your videos as often as I can helps tremendously. ❤

    Thank you! I am trying to get back in shape after
    years of a stressful homelife. I stopped exercising due to depression and my weigt up 20 lbs and chol went up 100 pts due to self medicating with booze, chocolate and chips. Not easy at 66 years old. Got help and on a new path. I lost so much physical stamina and muscle mass its scary. I used to lean and strong so an awful wakeup call getting back in shape. It took a long time for me to see the abuse. So that said every muscle aches and I refuse to fall back. I will protect myself and your video helps keep me on track. God bless you ❤

    Dear Jessica , Thankyou for all the work you put into your videos it is greatly appreciated. Your gentle encouragement is so helpful.
    I have degenerative discs in my lower back and a hip problem, slowly with the help of a great physiotherapist I’ve been seeing here in the U.K. since January I am making progress with the pain and ability to walk without so much discomfort. She suggested I start gentle Pilates to continue building the core and this video has been so helpful . Also today I listened to your new podcast Meet Your Body , it had me in tears , different body problems but same emotions, I realise I’ve got to stop being so frustrated with my body and give it some more kindness . I highly recommend any one reading this listens to it , I’m looking forward to future episodes. I’m sorry you have been through so much , you are inspirational in showing how much you can recover from a very low place . My very best wishes to you x

    Hi Jessica! I have been doing this workout almost every morning and it feels really good for my back. Thanks for your videos, they are really great. I was wondering if you would offer a longer video for back like this one combined with other back workouts (like the one for herniated disc) and other pilates workouts. Like a 45 min video to one hour. This would be fantastic if you ever find the time. Thanks again!

    This was really nice! I like how your gentle workouts still engage and work the core. I am wondering if you have any suggestion for someone who has a degree of anterior pelvic tilt plus a larger bottom. When I am on my back, I have a larger natural curve beneath my low back, and it's harder for me to find a more traditional "neutral" position.

    • @Jessicasvalant
      @Jessicasvalant  2 года назад

      The abs are engaged because they are the muscles doing the action so they have to be - you don't need to clench or anything like that! And the low back will naturally flatten but again, don't clench or actively press it down. Just lift the head and chest.
