Awesome workout!!! Thank you ❤❤❤
Glad you liked it!!
Really nice 🙏🏻🤍💫
Thank you 🙌
This is amazing! 👏 I can't wait to teach it. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
I loved your video / I do have a question I have been teachin mat for years and I find some people even though they regularly come To class still can’t do a full roll up ?? So u know why ? Or any thoughts
Thank you. The roll up requires a lot of core strength but also flexibly in the spine. You can have an extremely strong core, but if you cannot articulate your spine, the rollup is going to be very difficult. I also have several clients who are very strong in their core, but their spine will not allow them to do a rollup. I’m sure you know this but there are lots of modifications to use for the roll up such as the knees bent, using your hands to assist, or a resistance band at the feet, or doing the rollback role back to gain strength and flexibility in the spine. I hope that helps.
@@aprilplankpilates sure does thanks for responding so quickly!!!! I usually have them start with 1/2 roll down seeing if they get a little stronger that way and of course regular core work ! when u mean roll back roll are you talking about open leg rocker? thanks
sorry... I was just meaning the 1/2 roll down. :) I had a typo
@@aprilplankpilates :)
Loved this workourt!!
Glad you liked it!!
Can you write which heavy use
All springs weights are given throughout the workout. It changes throughout.
GREAT❤
Thank you 😊
Amazing. So happy I found you ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
💙💙
Thank you 😊
Omg I love it! ❤ 🥵🥵🥵

Great routine. How many springs are you using for that single leg jump? Thank you.
One blue
Great flow and workout thank you
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
🤍🙏🏻😎
❤️💪
This was so so amazing! Loved it. Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you, very good class! I did not hear or you didn't say the spring you are using since the beginning of the class... I think it's a blue one?
Yes, correct
Thank you so much for this training ❤ fabulous
Glad you enjoyed it!
Which spring did you use?
One red and one blue for the soup pines work. One blue for the kneeling and sideline work.

Reformer Pilates.
amazing class! Can you tell me what height you have for your clinical reformer? is that 14 inches or 18?
Thank you. It is 18 inches.
Really loved this class. I did a heavy dumbbell workout on Saturday followed by one of your reformer stretch videos. Today I did this one and it was like dessert for my muscles!
Glad you liked it.
Awesome class!. Loved it❤
Thank you! 😃
Cudownie ❤
I follow you from Mexico since the pandemic. I love all your workouts. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome!
💙💙
Thanks for the video. I am a newer teacher. In my all levels classes, I will add on more layers to side lying work, like you've shown here. I also like the change of lying sideways across the carriage with the magic circle holding the head while doing clams. Planking is what I've just introduced to my classes. It is a challenge to many to plank. I would be afraid to suggest a yellow spring for planking, as many may not have that level of control and strength and control. I could go to a blue and yellow, instead of the red we've been using on planks, if someone wants to add on to a more challenging plank. Love the ideas your workout provides to help me in my own practice too.
Thank you. I do have some clients planking from red to no springs at all based on their ability. 😊💪
Love the feet holding the ring in the roll up. Genius.
Thank you 😊
Really great, thank you.. very helpful. What could I do instead of bridges? X
You can still do bridges. You are lifting and lowering and not lying flat. You can also do bridges with your head and shoulders on the short box with the box at the tower end or against the shoulder blocks or at the foot bar end. Lots of great options for bridges.
@@aprilplankpilates brilliant thanks! Finding your videos helpful in understanding the whys of the exercises xx
