Standing Pilates for Seniors & Beginners | Improve Strength, Mobility and Confidence | 25 Mins
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Join me for a 25 Minute standing pilates workout for Seniors or anyone who wants a gentle exercise routine. We wlll start with breath work to tone the core and help release tension in the upper body. Then working from head to toes we will mobilise all the joints with functional exercises to get things moving in a lovely way that feels good for mind and body. I have put together exercises for the general aches & pains in the joints and spine that come with age. As well as some other exercises to help combat loss of strength, coordination and balance that also comes with age, but and this is important It doesn't have to be that way! Doing these exercises regularly will improve all these things so I am recommending you build up to doing this workout at least twice a week. I've taught these exercises twice weekly to my Senior clients in London, they are ages 60- 83. Take your time and do what you can, if anything is too challenging for you right now, don't worry, just rest and come back and try again when you're ready. Take care of yourselves.

Take care, Rachel x

This workout helps reduce pain and stiffness from arthritis. It's amazing what a difference just 25 minutes can make, especially when Rachel is the instructor!
Thank you so much Ellen 🤗
Thanks a lot Rachel for your nice classes and diversity of exercises. I enjoy it every day !! Wish you all the best !
Wonderful easy stretch for getting back to Pilates after a few months off.
Can't believe I have not done this Video before.
Felt great. That focus on breathing is so helpful.
But I could not reach my arm around my rips. Belly is to big 😢😢
I love your outfit. 💙🩵
I needed a good stretch today, and this set was on the July playlist. Perfect! I don't know how I missed watching it before now!
You are Fabolous 😁😆❣️👍All your classes helping to improve the balance, straight all the body!Thank you always Rachel❣️
Hi Rachel, while I may have done this 2 years ago, it is really useful now, following whiplash. I'm past the pain and looking to regain all my muscle strength. This was gentle enough and a great exercise. Thanks.
recently back from a surgical recovery period and so appreciate moving through 🥰 the balance routines across the past 3 years.
Good, good. Gentle workout and perfect length. Realized I had neck pain from looking down at the the video on laptop on my desk. Elevated my laptop by placing it on a bookshelf...neck pain gone!
Excellent Maureen! Good adjustment and so glad you found a way to make it work for you 😊
you are so refreshing, and relaxing...enjoyed that.
I'm so glad!
I enjoyed this session pace was excellently geared to my age and strength
Thank you.
Very thank you Rachel , You help me to recover my body ! I forget him since a few time ! Love for you!
Πολύ καλές ασκήσεις. Ειδικά όταν βρίσκεσαι στο κρεββάτι για πολύ καιρό, σε βοηθάνε να αισθανθείς ότι το σώμα σου επανέρχεται και ζεί. Σε ευχαριστώ απο Ελλάδα!
Thank you for another senior session👍😁
Any time! 😊
Good workout even for someone like me who likes intensive and faster paced exercise. I found it very helpful in my exhausted state ... while travelling and without a studio for my daily exercise. In fact, I could do it in my limited hotel room without getting in my husband's way. Thanks Rachel.
BTW, I'm a "new senior" 😊.
Love this new standing workshop for seniors. It's a wonderful start for the new day. You teach it so well Rachel. God bless you.
This was just what my arthritic body needed this morning to get the kinks out and joints ready for the day ahead. Thank you so much for helping me maintain my mobility
You're very welcome Toni, so glad to hear it helps you feel ready for the day ahead. 😊🌟
Love it!
Thanks!
Rachel, you are probably the best instructor ever. I am 30 years old and appreciate your fine attention to detail. I especially love how you always remind us to check in that we're breathing while doing a posture...we tend to forget to do that lol. I am recovering from a few sports injuries and I can truly say that only after 1 week of doing your classes 3 to 4 times a week, I am already feeling better. Thank you for all you do
Grate again Rachel!
Happy week❤
Hello dear friends, you’ve been asking for a new Seniors workout and gentle standing session, here it is! I do hope you enjoy it and feel fabulous afterwards. Best wishes, Rachel 💕
Thank you so much for this work out...my godparents are in their late 70s with a few medical conditions and since the pandemic their daily walks were no longer an option and your gentle workouts at home have made an incredible difference to keeping them moving and not letting the depression & loneliness get to them...Winter Blessings to you and yours thank you 💜
You got it It was good Thanks 😊 Thanks Rachel
Thank you very much, I love this work out!
Terrific variety of senior pilates workouts. Thank you!!!
good to come back!! recovering from covid i need some easy breath exercises!
Good standing class - thank you Rachel👏
Thanks so much for your programs, Rachel. Just finished this routine on an otherwise lazy Sunday afternoon. I’ll be 83 in 2 weeks and love doing Pilates with you. They have helped me be strong and flexible. 💕
I love waking up my body doing this 💓
Yay! So good to hear! 😊
Rachel, you are such an inspiration! Thank you On 🇨🇦😖
Rachel, I LOVE this one! Thanks 😊
So glad to be back working with you!! Feels energizing!! Thank you!
So far this one and the short bar workouts are my favorites (for now lol). I’m improving daily with your workouts. You’re a fantastic teacher, Rachel.
Glad you like them! And thank you so much for sharing Judith 😊🌟

You're welcome June, so glad you're feeling better after this gentle session ❤️
Lovely for a Sunday afternoon session, thanks so much for including in the week 5 playlist, a pleasant start to the week!😊
Just started after my friend recommended you
It’s amazing Thankyou
Ms. Rachel, such an outstanding Pilates routine, thank You. Please do not forget the Longer Barre Bar Session for Us .
Thank you Martha! I haven't forgotten the longer barre session either so don't worry, it's on my 'To Do' list 😘 I will have a gentle one coming up on monday if you want to try that too. 30 minute standing pilates and barre 😊🌟
Thank you Rachel, I am 59 and I have been doing your excercise for the past year, they are great, I appreciate every move, please do more excercise for the mid back, thankyou and God bless .
New to you today…thank you. Will be progressing forward.
Love this workout and im not even a senior citizen.Just a middle-aged 40-year-old.😁🤣🤣
Thank you Rachel--what a lovely over-all workout!
Morning. I love the seniors workouts but hesitate to try any mat workouts as lost confidence to get down and up - can you show us oldies how to get down and up gracefully/safely?
Liked this workout today, Thank you.
First time I have tried your channel and for my 70+ clicks shoulder joints it was just what I needed . Looking forward to exploring more -thank you 😊
i love your classes. Thank you so much. From Lisbon.
You are so welcome!
Chicago,USA. I love your standing workouts. I’m 74 and I’m looking forward to being able to gain the strength to get up and down from the floor!
That's wonderul Diane. Do let me know when you reach your goal and in the emnanbtime, keep going, you're doing great! 🌟😊
So pleased I've found you I'm trying to do this twice a week.feel much better thank you
This was a nice relaxing stretch!
Nice easy one. The hip hitch stretched my lower back more than my waist muscles and the knee bends forwards then to the side, we call "opening the gate" in football(soccer).
Recently had a fall so getting back into workouts. Found this just what I needed today. Thank you Rachel!
Thank you again.
A really lovely warm up session for a frosty morning!. Thanks Rachel.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this workout because you started from the head and went down the body to the ankles. It is a great start to the more intense workouts. Thanks for sharing!
Love this workout. Thank you.
Rachel dear, is it ok to do this workout seated? I have osteoarthritis and sometimes standing for more than 10-15 minutes can put me down for a couple of hours. It all depends on how much I’ve tried to push myself. The good news is when I was diagnosed in 2017 I set to work on a good food plan, lost 30 pounds, and kept it off except for a pound or so around the holidays. I only did gentle stretching exercises while in the losing phase and it worked. As long as I continue to track my food and use portion control it works. I’m 67 and want to keep my mobility up. Thanks for all you do. So happy I found your channel. Blessings to you!
I just finished this workout and it is wonderful. You’re so careful and I very much appreciate it. I did the upper body part seated and the lower standing, which worked well. Thank you for sharing Rachel. You are very gifted!
These exercises have really helped my rotator cuff issue! Thank you. x
Very enjoyable! The time flew by! Will return to this one:-)
Love your class ❤️
Thank you! 😃
Wonderful, thank you.🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
Just what I needed this morning after walking my dog 🐕. Thank you again for all of your hard work Rachel

Thanks! Just did this on an otherwise lazy Sunday. I loved it! I’ll be 83 in 2 weeks and have no problem doing ANY of your routines! Thank you so much, Rachel. You’re a wonderful person.

Good morning Rachel, it is nice to get back into exercising each morning. I lapse from time to time, but I must make it a daily workout now. Thank you
You can do it Mary, so pleased you enjoyed this one. And don't worry, we all have to take timeout sometimes. Glad you're back 😊
I haven’t exercised in years, but need to improve my health especially my balance (I suffer with vertigo) I found this doable and also challenging, just long enough to fit in with my busy day. Thank you 😊

Thank you Rachel! I have been suffering with Osteoarthritis and was looking for a gentle workout to help my knees. I am just beginning your Pilates for Seniors and was able to keep up with you and I already feel the difference. You are an amazing instructor!
Thank you so much Nina and I am delighted you enjoy working out with me. Well done and best wishes, Rachel x
This is a very nice workout. I decided to do a short Pilates session followed by ukulele practice this evening, and now I'm all warmed up and ready to sing after the breathing exercises!
Oh wow Lily, that sounds like such a nice evening! Enjoy your singing! 😊🌟
