    Thank you for this beautiful peaceful and centred video. Love the silence, gives us chance to concentrate on your instructions and on our own movements. A good hour to tune in to the body and focus the mind. The silence behind is so important. Much appreciated. Pilates has become so hyper these days and it never started that way. Thank you for doing this video. 🙏🏻

    • @NellHoess
      @NellHoess  2 года назад +2

      🙏 for your kind words Laura. I am happy to hear that you find this an hour of tuning into our bodies. Perfectly said. My intention has always been about ‘going in’ and not about just doing a shape or exercise. The Method is so much more than just a fitness routine. Keep up the good work 👍🏼💪🏼🤸🏻‍♀️

    I've been doing Pilates privately for over 12 years... finally got a reformer at home and doing this video was as close to in studio as possible! So grateful! Thank you! (Just need to get a box and ball for home 😊). Can't wait to work through the series!

      Brilliant!!! Love, love, love your comment. It's so important that mum's spend time on themselves to 'fill the cup'. Even though you can get exhausted looking after little ones, getting a workout in that energises you rather than thrashes you is really beneficial. Keep up the good work.

      Hi Susan. I’m happy to hear you have been doing this workout for a couple of months and then decided to give Level 2 a go. Good for you. So it was a little hard but now you know the challenge and I would suggest you alternate between Level 1 and Level 2 to build your strength further. Keep up the good work.

In the last month t felt I just continued to learn and get strong and to really process all your amazing cues to ensure proper form. I loved the changes in my posture! You are so skilled. Grateful to have found you.

    even better. I would only have one tiny thing to add and that is if you could say what the springs are as you do the set up. In this class sometimes you mention it and sometimes you don't. I never the less absolutely had a ball!

    Thank you for posting such a great workout and for providing a progressive series of levels. I love that there are multiple levels of beginner and intermediate, not just one of each. Your cueing is really spot on and helpful.Looking forward to doing this one again and trying more of your pilates reformer videos as I progress and get stronger.

    • @NellHoess
      @NellHoess  3 года назад +1

      Your comment put a smile on my face. thanks Tracy. Yes, the weight bearing work can hurt the wrists sometimes. Try pressing through your knuckles a bit rather than sinking into the wrists. You need to activate the muscles around the whole joint, front and back to protect the joint. Easier said than done. Pressing through the knuckles can assist that.

    • @NellHoess
      @NellHoess  4 года назад +1

      Happy to hear you are feeling it Erica. Are your thighs/hip flexors at the front of your legs tight? Really important to not only strengthen your hamstrings but also stretch your thighs and hip flexors out at the front, its a balance between the two thats needed if that makes sense. If you are cramping in your hamstrings when you are doing some of these exercises, try squeezing your buttocks/glutes more to help your hamstrings out. Let me know how you go.

    Mid 50’s and out of shape. First time doing your workout and first time back into exercise. Really pleasant to listen to, continuous clear instructions. Agree with others, spring advice could be clearer, eg ‘1.5 or light to medium’ as I’m sure everyone has different reformers. A couple more seconds to adjust positions too? You will now be my ‘Yoga with Adrienne’ of Pilates Reformer workouts. Should have done more exercise during lockdown but starting now when on cusp of coming out of lockdown to get body and mind strong. Thank you!

    • @NellHoess
      @NellHoess  2 года назад +2

      Thanks for your comment Tii. Regarding spring tensions: in my videos 1 spring is 1 strong spring. 1/2 spring is a medium spring tension and 1/4 is light. You need to pull on your springs to feel which one is the strongest, then which one is a little lighter than that and then which one is even lighter. So when I say 1.5 springs (which is 1 1/2) it is 1 strong spring + 1 medium spring. Colours vary on reformers so thats why I don't refer to them. I hope this helps.

  • @rebeccaforbes5650
    @rebeccaforbes5650 3 года назад +1

    Awesome workout. I have been doing Pilates for over a year and there were a few moves in this video I hadn’t tried before. The only thing I noticed here was some cues for the springs. I felt I was wondering which weight to be using a few times. Otherwise it was excellent.

    • @NellHoess
      @NellHoess  3 года назад +1

      Hi Rebecca. Thanks for your comment and yes, I’ve been working on making the spring tensions easier to follow. 1spring = heavy. 1/2 = medium. 1/4 = light. So if I say 1 1/2 spring that = 1 strong and 1 medium. Hope that helps.

      Laura??? My name is Nell 🤣 but thats okay...okay spring tensions...1 spring = 1 heavy. 1/2 spring = medium spring and 1/4 spring = 1 light spring. So for example for example if I say in my video 1 1/2 springs that mean 1 strong and 1 medium tension.I hope that helps.

    • @NellHoess
      @NellHoess  3 года назад

      1 = strongest spring
      1.5 = 1 strong and 1 medium spring
      2.5 = 2 strongest and 1 medium spring.
      Different reformers have different colours so I dont go by that.
      Pull on the springs and feel for the strongest ones, thats a strong spring. Then pull on the springs and feel for the spring thats a little lighter and thast the 1/2 springs/medium spring tension. Then pull on the springs and feel for the lightest, thats the 1/4 or light spring.
      I hope that helps.

      @NellHoess  3 года назад +1

      Hi Mary. Thanks for your comment.
      1 spring = heavy/full/strong spring
      1/2 spring = medium tension so a little lighter than the 1 full spring
      1/4 spring = light
      So in the video if I say 2 springs then that means 2 of the heaviest/strongest springs.
