*gulp* Okay, I'm ready. My lower back has decided to war against me, so I'm hoping Pilates will be just the thing to stabilise my core again. It's completely my own fault for quitting a life of fitness a couple of years ago. Muscle atrophy, general laziness, spine does not like it! Here we go!
i love your videos (: i do it everymorning and some other ones like, the butt exercises and the 10minute workout etc.., at first it was friggen hard like :O lol, i've sort of got the breathing technique sorted. soo ye anyways, thanks! :D xx
Thank You so much for uploading this video... I have never done pilates before and i was thinking wow this looks easy by the time i got to 6 mins into your video OMG i felt it... I can't believe how much better i felt after doing this video. XD
I don't get it... when I squeeze my abs, my legs sure as hell don't go flying into the air. How am I supposed to lift my legs without using leg muscles? Perhaps I'm a level waaay below "beginner"
I feel like I might be doing the exercises wrong. After each one my upper back/lower shoulders kind of hurt. My abs are killing me so I know I'm using them, but something tells me that I'm doing this wrong and that my upper back shouldn't hurt. Thoughts?
I'm an absolute beginner to pilates, but I'm a very serious ballet dancer, and I'm looking for a supplement workout. But I felt absolutely nothing. I've got a strong core; I do loads of ab workouts like crunches and situps and V reaches and W/V's etc, but with all the comments, I was expecting it to be more challenging. Do you think I was doing it wrong, or should I try to find a more difficult video? Either way, this was very informative and well-spoken and video'd
are you supposed to do this only once everyday, i mean the routine that you did..so it was like atleast 6 minutes..right? well..yah..only 6 minutes everyday? cuz I'm not sure...
I have a back injury that causes chronic pain and every work out I try for pilates causes my back to hurt for days and it wasn't until your video that I realized I was doing it all wrong, this really works if you rely only on your muscles. First work out I've done in years that when I woke up the next morning my and gift worse than my back lol and to me that's a good thing! Means it is working and that will benefit me so much in the long run! Thank you so much for the video!
Finally a beginners video that feels like it was made for beginners! I love using the legs to work the abs, I have a neck injury, so regular curls don't work for me. Thank you!
Nah, excellent video! I am just beginning in Pilate's and it's such a great workout! You make it look so easy so I was going into this with the assumption that it would be a breeze because it was for beginners....Pssssh!! My burning abs keep reminding me that I was wrong. the burn is good though! It means it's working!
I have never done pilates until last week. I have a permanent injury and found your workout easier to navigate. Do you have anymore videos on youtube, it was great!
Ouch!!! I thought when I first started that it was gonna be easy. How wrong was I? My stomachs in agony, but its that good pain that you get from exercising.
Hi Erin, I work in heavy construction and have had recurring back pain for years. I did this workout and really enjoyed it. I will do some more beginers Pilates and eventually I will go do a class! Thanks for making this accessible for people like me who are a bit hesitant about these kinds of exercise!
@Beauttyful I agree - It is the worst part of the work out. I prefer the "if it isn't broken, don't try to fix it" attitude, and I basically gave up trying to "fix" my breathing. Makes it easier to follow Erin when you aren't looking at the screen, though!
I think I might try this... I don't do much during the day, and I hate wasting away. I've an injured ankle though, so I think this might work for me, since I can't really jog like I'd like to.
I think I might try this... I don't do much during the day, and I hate wasting away. I've an injured ankle though, so I think this might work for me...
My back is naturally "arched up", I'm sway back. So pilates neutral pelvis position or crunches, basically anything that causes me to lay on the floor hurts like crap. Alternatives??
Hi Starting next week I will be trying to do your 21 day sugar smackdown. I live in Sweden and we have a product here called Wasabröd which I was wondering if I could eat during the 21 days. . If you haven't heard about it, it hard like a cracker but as large as a slice of bread. It's unleavened, made without any sugar, and the one that is pictured on wikipedia is the type I buy, which is the original made of rye. So could I eat it?
@mrsdana2323 Hello Sunshine! Weird, I thought I responded to this ages ago... Anyway, no that would not be a Sugar Smackdown approved food item. Sorry love. But there's LOTS of super yummy healthy food on the program. So, not to worry about that.
I started using this a few months ago and it used to be difficult to hold my head up for the "hula" Now i find it not as difficult :). Something's working!
This is one of my favorite an routines! When I know I have less than 10 minutes to work out that morning or on a work break, this is the one I always turn and do!!!
At first I thought these would be too easy, since it's a lot more subtle than, for example, the ab series, but it's actually an awesome strength workout! Thanks for the vid!
I was wondering if these exercises would help out my back as well as tone up my abs? I have arthritis in my lower back and have been looking for a good workout.
that was killer on my abs! Unfortunately I couldnt get the breathing right and my head hurts like H.E .double hockey sticks lol I am an extreme out of shape beginner so this was a challenge for me thanks :)
i don't care if she didn't do it your way..i think she did a great job. the breathing techniques were fine. whew..this is a great Morning workout. i like it. =0) Thanks ErinHuggins =0)
Thank you so much for this video. I've tried numerous beginner pilates workouts but just didn't feel i was getting the right feel for it. This is the BEST little workout I've tried yet! The instructions were so easy to follow and I can feel that I've really worked my core.
I really can't remember the last time I did this, I tried yoga, I tried regular working out, all of them just killed me and hurt my wrists or knees or something. But this really worked me out, could you do this 3 times in a row for a daily 30 minute strength training on your abs? I really want to get stronger so I can work out more efficiently and not hurt so much. What are some wrist and neck strengthening exercises?
Watched several of Erin's videos before having the sense to "Sign IN". Thought all my ratings were being taken. She is a fantastic teacher, and explains the need for healthy eating in common sense terms. And, regardless of how STOTT feels about it, I'm definitely staying with her pilates approach; it's perfect for this beginner - her demos are easy to do, and keep me faithful to doing them. I hope she succeeds with this marketing of her program.
hi.. i have found this method realy interesting but i would like to ask you how often someone must do it in a week to effective, for a stronger core/stomach
love pilates I'm a beginner but can already see a difference it's helping me with weights as well the more you can control your pelvic muscles the better your weight workout will be oh and I'm tired of people saying that pilates is only simply stretching
Are these pilates movements designed for us guys too?.... trying to alleviate some back pain and get rid of this middle aged gut too,(jogging isn't enough).... thanks!
@MrKurt1962 I'm sure it's effective for both genders (why not??) and if you have back pain you definitely need to strengthen the core to alleviate that... I know bc I've been through that as well bc my abs weren't strong enough.
I just started mat pilates classes at the gym, but it seems it is at an intermediate level. This video is great for beginners for me and I definitely feel it in my core when I do the exercises you taught in this video, thanks a lot for posting!
Cool how can see how it looks when inhaling...im wanting to learn pilates but seems hard also want to be flexible enough to do the splits Erin do u think can do a instructional video on learning to do the splits/also cartwheels/handstands as to do those would be fun and tone the body.
I really enjoy this work out, but I don't understand the second move. How to you lift your foot without using the mucles in the legs? How can she keep the leg parallel to the floor by using her abs? Am I missing a muscle?
@eizhowa I think(of course I really don't know much about these things) that you have to contract the muscles in your stomach and slowly, hardly making any effort at all, lift your leg. I don"t really know if, when doing this, you use the muscles in your leg or not, but anyway...hope it helped a bit!
Erin I have been looking for Pilates workouts to do at home and I am IN LOVE with your workouts!! Ive never posted on any video on youtube before but I've been doing the beginners pilates, butt exercises 1 and 2, ballerina legs and the 10 minute pilates everyday and I love them! Im telling all my friends to sign up!! thanks so much!! how long do you think it will take to see results??? how many times a week should I do them?
this was really helpful, i already am seeing results in just a week of working out to your videos, the one on dieting was really insightful as well. Keep them coming :)
i see this video was made in 08 but this is just what i am wanting.....i`m a lil on the thick side and i`ve been dieting and excersizing since the 1st of the year and so far i`ve lost only 30 lbs. my goal from the beginning has been to lose 75 lbs by or before the end of the year. i like your video`s and so excited to reach my goal with your workouts. thanks so much for all your help....and if there is anything else i can do to help me reach my goal by all means let me know......
wow this felt amazing! im working on getting fit and losing weight but in a completely healthy way, and watching your videos and doing it with you feels GREAT! its easy to follow and you can really feel the muscles working, without hurting or feeling like im over working, thank you!
Hi Erin! I am interested in trying out pilates- your videos look super! I have one question: will pilates help strengthen my muscles and give me some muscle defintion? I am naturally slim (ectomorph) and want to look toned and healthy but not lanky. Thanks SIG (silenceisgolden77)- keep up the good work!
@SilenceisGolden77 If you whant to build a little more muscle mass, a bit of regular wheight training with light wheights and many reps would help.
But i would still recommend pilates as a supplement, since it does tighten all the right places and strenghtens ones core.
Core training influences ones balance, heightens regular movement by enabling the use of smalle muscles, besides core training strenghtens muscles near the spine, and can therefore prevent back injuries.
the leg lift things make my back hurt, like the middle of my back. If I just lift my legs it doesn't hurt my back, but I also feel like it isn't effecting my core muscles. If I "squeeze" my abs, it hurts my back. What am I doing wrong? I'm a teen, and I don't really have any back problems, but I'm afraid to hurt my back by doing those.
I'm a STOTTi nsstructor what the hell are you??????!! Pull abs in tight, table top don;t want legs to work well we want hip flexors and quads to work to keep legs up for starters. your ab work awful obliques pelvis wobbling everywhere reverse curls looked like yr knees did move!!
interesting method of marketing yourself - going around to all the pilates instructors who post videos on youtube and condescending, ridiculing and bullying them with your "what the hell is that? this isn't real pilates. pull in your abs. i'm a STOTT pilates instructor etc." I wonder how STOTT would feel about such an alienating approach? good luck building your following!
@gailadams1 If your so talented take the time to make/ post a video so others and rip your methods apart. At least she's taking her valuable time to teach and help people, while you are playing Roger and Ebert. I've never met an instructor who was so negative! I feel bad for your students, that is if you even have any.
Sprained my neck while trying to watch the video while doing the exercise

And, regardless of how STOTT feels about it, I'm definitely staying with her pilates approach; it's perfect for this beginner - her demos are easy to do, and keep me faithful to doing them. I hope she succeeds with this marketing of her program.

love pilates I'm a beginner but can already see a difference it's helping me with weights as well the more you can control your pelvic muscles the better your weight workout will be oh and I'm tired of people saying that pilates is only simply stretching

Are these pilates movements designed for us guys too?.... trying to alleviate some back pain and get rid of this middle aged gut too,(jogging isn't enough).... thanks!
MrKurt1962 1 year ago
@MrKurt1962 I'm sure it's effective for both genders (why not??) and if you have back pain you definitely need to strengthen the core to alleviate that... I know bc I've been through that as well bc my abs weren't strong enough.

I really enjoy this work out, but I don't understand the second move. How to you lift your foot without using the mucles in the legs? How can she keep the leg parallel to the floor by using her abs? Am I missing a muscle?
eizhowa 1 year ago
@eizhowa I think(of course I really don't know much about these things) that you have to contract the muscles in your stomach and slowly, hardly making any effort at all, lift your leg. I don"t really know if, when doing this, you use the muscles in your leg or not, but anyway...hope it helped a bit!

Hi Erin! I am interested in trying out pilates- your videos look super! I have one question: will pilates help strengthen my muscles and give me some muscle defintion? I am naturally slim (ectomorph) and want to look toned and healthy but not lanky. Thanks SIG (silenceisgolden77)- keep up the good work!
SilenceisGolden77 1 year ago
@SilenceisGolden77 If you whant to build a little more muscle mass, a bit of regular wheight training with light wheights and many reps would help.
But i would still recommend pilates as a supplement, since it does tighten all the right places and strenghtens ones core.
Core training influences ones balance, heightens regular movement by enabling the use of smalle muscles, besides core training strenghtens muscles near the spine, and can therefore prevent back injuries.

the leg lift things make my back hurt, like the middle of my back. If I just lift my legs it doesn't hurt my back, but I also feel like it isn't effecting my core muscles. If I "squeeze" my abs, it hurts my back. What am I doing wrong? I'm a teen, and I don't really have any back problems, but I'm afraid to hurt my back by doing those.

interesting method of marketing yourself - going around to all the pilates instructors who post videos on youtube and condescending, ridiculing and bullying them with your "what the hell is that? this isn't real pilates. pull in your abs. i'm a STOTT pilates instructor etc." I wonder how STOTT would feel about such an alienating approach? good luck building your following!

@gailadams1 If your so talented take the time to make/ post a video so others and rip your methods apart. At least she's taking her valuable time to teach and help people, while you are playing Roger and Ebert. I've never met an instructor who was so negative! I feel bad for your students, that is if you even have any.
