Pilates for Beginners - Beginner Pilates Total Body Workout!

I have been having trouble with my hips for over five years. So finally I went to a doctor they did x-rays and they said it was my hips and they said they could give me shots in my hips I did that it didn’t work. Then they took x-rays of my back and they said it was my back that was causing my hip problems so they said they could give me a shot in my back. I bowl and two of my bowling partners are physical therapists I told them about my problem they said Pilates. So I’ve been doing your class for a little over a month now and today was the first day I was able to walk around the block with absolutely no pain in my hips. I just want to thank you for taking care of my problem!

Hi Jessica, I am a fairly fit 82yo grandma who has neglect her fitness for the last 2 years but happy to find Pilates. Thank you for your beginner workouts. At this point they are just what I need because I can’t believe how stiff I am! Thanks, looking forward to improvement working with your videos.

I love Jessica's Pilates videos. I did Pilates in my 30s and just now in my 60s I'm getting back into it. I'm doing Walking videos and her Pilates videos and I'm down 24 pounds in four months. And I just feel so much better I can stretch. I can do a set up when I first started. I couldn't even roll up off the ground.

A great therapist is clear in communication and not only gives demonstrations but always explains why and how. That’s exactly what Jessica does which makes me confident I am not going to hurt myself in the process. Also it needs to be said, the style of these outfits is effortlessly beautiful. All over inspiration, thanks Jessica!:)

I'm 72 years old, thought I was strong, amazed that I am not, great work out, some knee and neck pain, will explore different sites by Jessica to help with this, glad to be on board!

Really appreciate having the commentary to ensure the movements are done correctly. Total beginner and will be doing this regularly. Great to have a little bit of everything - walking away feeling great!

I've been following your beginner workouts for 7 weeks now and I'm completely astounded by how much stronger I feel in my everyday movements. I would brace myself for a dull ache or twinge when reaching down to get something out of the kitchen cupboards but I realised yesterday that while I was bracing myself for the expected pain, it no longer comes! I love how you conduct your videos, they're extremely instructive and motivational. Thank you so much ❤

Finally, a video that actually teaches the beginner. I have been looking for so many beginner videos, but none of them tell you the why or the how. I really want to make sure I understand what I’m doing and that I’m doing it correctly. Thank you! I can’t wait to start.

Hello there I used to love and do Pilates everyday , now, this will get me back in the beginner mode!

I'm totally new to pilates and find your thorough explanation of how to breathe, when to inhale/exhale, and how to perform the movements so refreshing. I didn't feel rushed or lost at any point during this workout.

Such an incredible video! I appreciate you sharing the "why" behind each movement! Subscribed and looking forward to trying more of your videos!

I love that you talk us through each movement. It really does force you to concentrate on your breathing and makes each exercise more powerful.

It's been rough keeping any exercise regimen consistent since the onset of COVID but every time I "fall off the wagon" for too long and want to get back on, I start here. Thank you, Jessica!

I've been folowing your channel for the last two years and exercising with you and I like it more and more. You're a wonderful therapist, but also an inspiring presence! Thank you!

I started watching your videos and following along about a week ago and I already feel so much better! I have subscribed and I look forward to doing more exercises in the future. Thank you for these videos!

Easy to follow, clear instruction without unnecessary interjections - such as the Irritating & distracting ‘awesome’ common in many American workout commentary ! Every action fully explained, so that each movement is fully understood, and how it affects your body as you move. - Excellent Teacher.

I began rotating this video and two intermediate videos to do Pilates three out of four days. I've just added a third intermediate from your floor series and will now use a random number generator to come up with Pilates floor exercises to do three out of four days. My church began doing Pilates instructions for 45 minutes on Tuesday nights. This is a pretty robust and challenging set of exercises. Because I've been faithful to your program I do very well in these additional Tuesday night sessions. I'm 59 years old and ride a bicycle about 3,000 miles a year and find that this Pilates is great for my core and keeping me able to Pedal. Keep up the good work.

First time watching. I’m hoping to do this every day with you until I can move onto the next level! Thank you so much for helping me keep active during the shelter in place time.

I really love the way you explain everything in great detail

restarting my pilates practice and that was a great one to start with. Like that you give great cues but you also keep the workout moving so that people who dont need as many of the cues still get a good workout
