Hello my Pilates friends, Here is the link to my newly re-edtied version of this video where you can see my hands much clearer. Thanks for your suggestion: ruclips.net/video/bErUPDb7iXE/видео.html Take care, much love, Rachel ❤

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hello my Pilates Pals, I have been reading your comments on this video and wanted to let you know I am going to re-edit it so the picture is close up and you can see my hands more clearly. Thank you for your feedback and bear with me whilst I get that organised for you. I'll post a link on my community page when it it done and announce it here in the comments. Take care, much love, Rachel ❤

It would be helpful to zoom in on just your face and upper body for hand/wrist videos. It's hard to see what you're doing with your hands when shot with such a wide angle. ❤

[@andresretan8746]

I did a lot of workouts in January April and August February March October and December in Fairfax County Virginia in 2026-2027 2101&2201 and Other Years

[@yvonnethompson3999]

Great exercise for my arthritic hands 👏👏. A simple movement to do anytime any place…thanks Rachel🥰

[@carolwatkins8541]

i had trigger finger surgery a few months ago that didn't go well PT made it so much worse. This was good; albeit really painful but I need to keep my range of motion! Thanks for this!

[@zsuzsaahern-fy6zj]

My 70 year old mom loved the exercise but she said she wishes you were closer to the camera.

[@isadem70]

I'm at the point where i can't close my fingers anymore those exercises are too hard for me

[@sweetlampe]

Wow that was such a good exercise, thank you I really needed the stretching,as my hands&fingers are stiff a lot. I finished off after with finger massage.😀💐

[@margaretsomerville2510]

your healing heart shines

[@lyndacornish7621]

Quite challenging but good! I would have appreciated a closer view of your hands to see those fine movements. 😊

[@purezavasconcelos2575]

helpful thank you . Appreciate more of these!!!!

[@jaynes7248]

Thank you for this workout. I am a knitter and have a bad trigger finger, but this really helps before I get ready to knit.

[@kimb.2883]

Very helpful for warming up stiff or overworked hands! 🤗

[@lesjf8832]

I'm just two weeks past having trigger finger release surgery and have lots of exercises I need to do and I've added this routine to my list. It's perfect.

[@lynnchasan6339]

Thank you I tried! I couldn't see your hands against the background and you seemed too far from the camera

[@karlagreen6310]

Rachael, I want you too know, how truly my life is ehen I do ur classes. Not only physically, but much more emotionally, frim my bottom of my heart. Thank you.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're so welcome Karla. I am so happy that my videos help you physically and emotionally- that's just what I hoped they would do. Sending you a huge hug and lots of love, Rachel 🤗❤️⭐️

[@michelledenton8667]

7:09 really helpful to get it all moving ❤

[@ChrisCastle-yq7rb]

Have stiff fingrs in left hand so will be doing this video regularly. Only negative comment, close ups of your hands would have made the excersises easier to see.

[@kayleighmacdonald7145]

Do you have any videos on the wrist please 😊

[@AshiShahbaz-j3s]

Thank you rachel

[@buntaevans3999]

Please please do this again but close up so we can see

[@jackstav]

Perfect love it😘

[@dianachavez6232]

I was surprised that I had some stiffness. I need to start doing this daily 1-2 x to keep my hands flexible. So much self care for one to do. Thank you Rachel. I love your channel.

[@nickymalins7007]

Ready to cut my finger off with pain. Just done your exercise for fingers before getting out of bed and spending time gardening. They feel so much better and less swollen. I'll definitely do them again after too

[@lindahollamby3375]
