This is just what I need to get going! I still can’t bend over due to eye surgery, but the rest of the moves I could do. Thank you!
We’re glad to hear this is what you needed, Sharon! We encourage you to always modify based on your needs and comfort level. Keep it up, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions along the way!
I need exercises that don’t involve use of my neck muscles. After two surgeries on my neck it’s messed up☹️
Hi Patty, We are sorry if you are experiencing any pain in your workouts. We encourage you to modify when needed or skip any exercises that cause you discomfort. Modifying is expected and a great way to gain strength on your journey. If you haven’t already seen it, you can find a video on Modifications for Neck Discomfort in your Workout Library.
thanks for doing this standing routine! I filled out the survey saying that it was almost impossible to find space on the floor to put down my mat. So I appreciate your responding to that problem that many people don’t acknowledge….now I’m more determined to clear some space to do some more Pilates with you.
Hi Jan, thank you for taking the time to share this! We value all the feedback and suggestions we receive and are so glad you enjoyed this standing Pilates routine. Keep up the great work!
Gonna be so good for my knees!
I thoroughly enjoyed this standing workout. Back surgery and neck surgery have limited my movement but this I could do without any pain. I originally signed up for the 5 day challenge but was unable to participate due to a very rough week of head pain due to Occipital Neuralgia. When I finally felt well enough, I went back to the emails but was too late. Is it possible to try again? Thank you for your response.

Love these videos thank you for sharing them – love your voice and beach background and you modifications
For some time now I have been neglecting my workouts. So, when I saw this 10 min standing pilates, I decided enough is enough and grabbed a mat and did it. You don’t know how great I feel that finally could do something to breakout of the rut I had been in. Thanks for all the inspiration and all the wonderful things you guys do.
We’re thrilled to hear this workout inspired you to roll out your mat, Anita! Way to go! ?
Amazing short challenging and highly effective Pilates work out. One of the best! And I have done many!
We love hearing how much you enjoyed this workout! We are celebrating you taking the time to care for yourself and we are cheering you on, both on and off your mat! 🙂
