If you read the intro you'd see that this is an intermediate/advances sequence for those who want more of a challenge. Some people like simple, repetitive sequences, some would get bored and lose interest. With 92,145 views, it seems to be reasonably popular. You have expressed a personal opinion: do you have anything constructive to say?

Nothing related to pelvic floor in this video

[vitalflow]

@prabhucg As a physiotherapist I'm surprised you don't seem to know that the pelvic floor is part of the core group of muscles & will therefore be worked effectively during this Pilates routine. You don't have to isolate the pelvic floor and perform endless contractions to strengthen it.  By making Pilates part of your regular exercise routine your pelvic floor will become stronger and in my opinion, this is a far better way to go about it as the whole body should work as one, not in isolation

@vitalflow Thank you for the whole body integration pelvic floor workout. I must modify the poses as my tailbone, lower back, pelvic floor are too tight to be as Noodle-fun and graceful as you. I do greatly feel these poses acting on the pelvic floor. Do you have some exercises where you increase the independence from the pelvis - spine connection while at the same time invigorating the tailbone to move more?

[vitalflow]

@NanoCosmos99 Not sure I answered you - apologies! I amin the process of uploading the complete Vitalflow Pilates Beginner Course of 6 classes - 15 to 25 minutes each. I suggest you start here and really learn about your body. I'll be uploading the Improver and Intermediate Courses over the next month so that you can gradually work your way up to more advanced levels at your own pace and safely. Hope this helps.

[MakeLuv2MyMind]

[vitalflow]

Pleased you like it. Take a look at my other videos too, Pilates will definitely help you. I hope you have a speedy recovery : )

[epowerlifting]

very nice video. I recently strained my pelvic muscle doing heavy squats . i feel that pilates will aid in my recovery.

[liketobemad]

A small doubt.. are these exercises only for females or for both genders?

[vitalflow]

Pilates is for men AND women - as is yoga. I have many male clients who find it both challenging and beneficial.

[nysalsera]

this video has absolutely zero to do with strengthening the pelvic floor.

[vitalflow]

This routine is based on Pilates. The pelvic floor is part of the core group of muscles which are used to stabilise and/or support the pelvisand spine in every Pilates exercise. By using the pelvic floor you are strengthening it. True, I haven't isolated it, but it will be working throughout. Thanks for your comment anyway.

[nysalsera]

As a pilates practioner with over 13 years of experience, I think it's confusing to observers of your routine to list it as pelvic floor strengthening. The pelvic floor does not engage automatically during Pilates exercises for all students, I am sure you have encountered this in your teaching career. An advanced mat routine, yes. But directly employing the pelvic floor, no. I think it's extremely important to be very clear regarding this extremely important issue.

[vitalflow]

This is only aimed at int/adv practitioners such as yourself, but some people may not have read the intro so thank you for pointing that out.

[blkmillineum]

thanks for telling me, because I was confused about this video!

[ConcreteHarpist]

Outstanding. This will help me with my back pain...

Thank you.

[nageshd]

Enjoy the Video Sailaja. Not Definitely easy to do.

[Taraa3]

Everything goes so fast!

[vitalflow]

It's a flow for int/adv practitioners and like anything else new, with practice it will become more familiar and easier. The exercises themselves move with the flow of the breath. You can get 10 reps by doing the routine twice. If you want something more conventional, try my other videos.

[monihiena]

wow

[xenoc]

good exercices

[captaindudeson]

i like this video i do.

[HairYouCanDo]

What an intense workout!

[christyamar]

Beautiful routine! Also advanced I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner...

[vitalflow]

Thank you all for taking the time to comment. You are quite right, christyamar, this is definitely not for beginners and I should have mentioned this somewhere along the line. It is made clear on the website that this is for those who know what they are doing. Thanks for pointing this out.

[ansem006]

would this help in realigning a pelvis

[vitalflow]

You need to see a therapist to have your pelvis realigned, but Pilates strengthens all the core and corset muscles, thereby stabilising the spine and pelvis and this will keep them correctly aligned. My other video, Pilates: Rotating Plank works very much on the torso and glutes.

[christyamar]

No pilates will not realign your pelvis, try alexander technique!

[nommh]

absolutely beautiful!
