Pilates Hips and Thighs Workout

[luna717]

I'm weak too :/

[DanicaJammin]

i've made a queue from spark peoples videos!

[Rileismommy]

wow! that bicycle exercise really works the muscles!

[smarthottie123]

how long do you do this wokout.?

[jjwsports1]

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO i COULD USE EVERY DAY OR EVRY OTHER DAY FOR A GENBTRL ALL BODY PILATES WORKOUT

[sooppercool]

can anyone tell me how to download this videos...

[ancaioana1987]

very good exercices :)

hope i will have results.ty nicole

[xxxMostEnviedGurlxxx]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP :)

I do Pilates evercise , i do Abs and Butt , and this one Hips and Thighs ,

i do it 5 times a week,and take rest at saturday and sunday ,

is that ok ?

[sweetnativewoman]

@xxxMostEnviedGurlxxx Yes that is more than the average person workout. Make sure you listen to your body. If you are extremely sore and stiff, you should rest 2 days before doing your exercises again.

[vampiiress]

@xxxMostEnviedGurlxxx yeah that seems pretty good. if you're trying to lose weight, throw in some cardio but if ur just trying to be toned and maintain yourself, then the plan you have is brilliant!

[im2cool2b4go10]

good video!

[Henrita6]

i like all your videos,but i got a question. does this workout get my shins bigger?

[orestis1985]

i think...that inhale go front and exhale go back...

[soniasharmamudgal]

I am hooked to sparkpeople website n there fitness videos, i find them so useful and so approachable exercise for people like me who are starting for first time.

Nicole you are wonderfull... keep it up.

[XOHHAMYBABYYX]

hi nicole.. as regards cardio and toning excersises would you do say 2 videos of cardio and then these to get results or do one cardio one toning

[pennyfrannie4life]

i really felt good after i did this one!

i am trying to further tone my legs and aft i did this one, it was a very good excersize.

[111CRINA]

super

[111CRINA]

super

[diamartII]

it really hurts the bone from my hip/leg that stays on the floor... what am i doing wrong?

[imajazzbandnerd]

ahhh! my thighs are on fire!

[RoseFrench]

What I love about these workouts is that they're short and easy to fit in your daily schedule. And Nicole's a really good coach. :D

Btw first time I did this one.. that last exercise.. I just couldn't do it haha. Really need to work on that!

[toomuchashleytisdale]

omgg these exercises work! i'm seeing results!

thank you!! :]:]

[fourcornerss]

How often can I do this?

[sparkpeople]

@fourcornerss Pilates in general is safe to do daily since it doesn't work the muscles to fatigue like traditional strength training does.

[annecc11]

Excellent. Swan

[celb28]

mmmm my legs feel fantasticccc hahah

[bronhi]

Thank you pilates for showing me how truly weak I am! :P

[bellalatina15]

i just tried it and it really works

[MammaMutton]

Coach Nicole is such a beast! Awesome! =D

[RIPMichaelJnLutherV]

i just want to lose a couple of pounds so i can feel better about myself. i dnt want a "bikini body". great workout! do it everyday! hopefully i will b seeing sum results soon.

[RIPMichaelJnLutherV]

i hope these works bcuz i go to a prep skool and my ultra-curvy body makes me uncomfortable when all these stick skinny preppy bodies all around me.

[bababa101]

wooh!!!!

[bababa101]

feel the burn!

[maokawaii]

what does pilates exercise do??is it for toning??

[BettaFreak]

It does help tone as well as works the muscles that don't usually get worked. Also making you more flexible.

[justbeingjessx]

yep

[yulexaa]

@maokawaii it basically makes u lean and it tones ur muscles :] its really good if you want that "dancer" body

[brieanhowied]

Just what I have been looking for thank you!

[Lwillwin]

hi, im overweight and YES have fat thighs, but i have a question. i have sort of... flexible joints, and when i do these pilates, my hips keep popping around and my thighs too. any one know how i can stop it from doing that? thank you

[aliciaonesix]

how many times per week should you do this?

[kagomelovelove]

Hey can these exercises shrink hips?Especially because my hips are now nothing more than big hip bones.

[aprilknights]

Hi, sorry to say you cannot move or change your bone structure. What you can do is shrink the fat that lays upon the bone and muscle. You can also strenthen the muscle as this will also burn fat. L. April Certified P. T.

[minmeicwz]

very similar to pilates from Mary Windsor...I've worked out every day for 1 month and LOST an inch in my tights and I have no cellulite in my bumps anymore :D

[DrisVill]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!

[karenmell]

you're so adorable, i love working out to this!!

[mkjm4]

i feel like this works mostly on your outer thighs but this is only my first day doing it does anybody have some insight in if it does work your inner thighs?

[youklar1]

after doing this workout for two weeks, my thighs become thinner, from 51cm to 49cm

[discodiva5678]

Ohh jeeez, i'm 14 a UK size 8 and my thighs are 56cm, and that's when i pull the measuring tape rather firmly!

How many times a day did you do the excercises? That's fantastic to say you've lost that much in 2 weeks! I hope I can have the determination to do the same!

[aliciaonesix]

Hi :) how many times per week did you do this for 2 weeks?

[Torny09]

[jen2007cmrs]

[007Neutrin0]

I need to get my wife into this, she needs to sort out her body, she needs to take her ass down to the gym, like she used to before I married her

[chelzyxo]

you can really feel its worked after!! great exercise!

[Jessica7Day]

This is one of my favorites! I do it every night and I still feel the burn every time :D

[MlleLB]

This is really great! You don't have to be super advance @ Pilates for this... I feel fantastic after this workout.

[ajo0994]

Does make your legs slim or bulky and musclyy ??

[borntorage1]

Damn that was really coool.. and your hot!

[LoveSillyLaugh]

[Karmeljj]

[Captainfruity]

It looks so easy, & it is until...you feel the burn. This video was great. :D

[crazylatingirl94]

does this make thighs, hips smaller ?

thanks for posting by the way :)

[genesis1250]

i am on sparkpeople site and i like a lot of their exercises they really work all the trouble areas well

[xXsemiaznbabeeXx10]

Does hoola hooping help hips?

i heard it did. Im going to try this and hoola hooping plus the leg magic and hopefully i slim down before school starts in september

[thetokitakeover]

me too!

i used the weighted hula hoop and ive lost 6 inches from my waist in about a month!

i went from 35 to 29!

by the way im 14.

[xhazelxthexnazelx]

where did you get the weighted hoola hoop from? cos im 14 aswell and i need to loose a bit round me middle :S x

[lisamaria555]

Wow, congrats on losing so many inches! :)

How often did you work out in the month you lost those 6 inches? And how long per workout?

I have a hula hoop too but I didn't realize it can do so much! I think I may use it now, lol.

Thanks

[xhazelxthexnazelx]

sorry i didnt mean to put thumbs down on your comment :S x

[AlyssiaMarie19]

Does this like slim your thighs? Will it make you bulk up?

[danic818]

If you're cramping you're probably dehydrated and should try to drink more water before, during and after working out. Also maybe do a cardio video first to warm your muscles up before you do the pilates.

[madeleine3587]

if you re cramping is cause you don t have enough minerals in your body

[jedamm]

my feet cramp a lot during these exercises. does anyone else experience this?

[KJin10city]

yesss. apparently it means youre dehydrated but im not sure? my feet do that lots too and i just have to relax them for a minute and it goes away.

[sxcsonja]

i do this everyday in the morning in a bid to try and firm up and loose weight

[blablabla580]

so does it make your thighs muscular and bulky, or does it make them slim??

[bishoujo618]

the best thing about pilates is that is does NOT make you bulky. it makes you slimmer, more toned and flexible.

[Jessica7Day]

it tones them.... duh.

[AClockworkPear]

I think it lengthens, tones and slims

[sxcsonja]

i am doing this in the morning and then in the afternoon im doing 3 bonnies Pilates videos for total body, butt and thighs.( trouble areas) so i want to loose weight but i also want to trim ans firm these places. :P

[coolnsweetnsmart]

o god thighs were acking beginner after this excersice i think i should stop doin this excersice

[skittlesgotmovesbaby]

my hips were on fire she's tryin to kill someone man

[danhimtr]

love it!!!!!

[iLuvBrum]

woow thts quick bt intence!!! luv it!

[ravenblaque]

This work out is great for pople who have little time but want something intense

[AriZonaDrinker]

I think i'm going to love Pilates. I can't wait til I stop laughing at how strange it feels though.

[deblopezita]

I love all the Spark people video's. I certainly hope that I lose weight with these videos. I will certainly let you know? Thanks from Debrinconcita in Portland, OR

[celestedickson]

Great routine! Thanks for this video.

[slayerofbeastsx]

how often do you practice this? I heard if you did it every night, it wouldn't work or lose weight... and I've been doing this and stretches in the morning and before I go to bed for the past week. =\

[jazminfggo]

i appreciate this;

i just hope i can keep up

with doing this everyday

[Amarantha25]

thank you!!!!!

greetz from holland

[sxcsonja]

heyy ive been doing this workout for about a week now and for more intensity and a longer workout ive added another workout onto each day in my favs list....

[thecallan0007]

lol we have to do this for rugby! not this exercise but pilates!

[moontwincutie]

i have big hips and dose this video work? to help me lose hip fat

[LittleEmoBoy001]

The only way to lose hip fat is general fat reduction. Cardio!

[AClockworkPear]

you can pin-point weight loss, especially in your thighs. This will help you tone and lengthen, and it that way your thighs will appear thinner.

[skata10176]

hi i have been doing this for a week now and when i do it i feel it working and everything but afterwards my legs feel a bit soar and stuff and then a few min later they will jsut feel like i did something to themm and then the next day i dont feel anything... any suggestions wat to do or why its like that?

[slayerofbeastsx]

It's like that with any excercise. When you excercise, your muscles rip, then form new muscle tissue. Your body isn't used to that kind of excercise. The soreness is good, but you have to let your muscles rest from time to time. Nice job.

[skata10176]

heeyy i was wondering ive been doing this for a week and im obviously going to continue but whe ni do these excersises it hurts when i do them and after it hruts still but after a few mintues the pain goes awya and my legs jsut feel abit different

does that mean i should try something else or does it even matter? any suggestions?

[skata10176]

heey i was sut wondering i started to do this for a week and

[blahblah654371]

HOLY FLEXIBLE!!! haha!

[QueenDoll89]

its cool :) i do this for 2 months every day ... it works ;)

[1goodgirlgonebad]

great

[MclovinDudee]

i dont know if im doing it right.. i cant feel it in my hips or abs often.. i mainly feel it in my legs

[slammaa]

Well I'd hope so, it is the hips and thighs workout:P

[nissooo19]

this is amazing! thank u!!

[linouly1]

i loved it i could do it for an hour lol

[KamieJP]

reply to xLyShx :

of course you are going to have pain in your side. that means u did it right. lol i ahve to do this for an hour in tumbling class.

[wkukfanx3]

Can I get skinner non bulky thighs doing this?

[YoohCantStopLurve]

Yes, if your legs are mostly fat. but if they're just muscly then you're naturally curvy and there's not a lot you can do about that.

:)

x

[wkukfanx3]

Can you get skinny non bulky thighs doing this?

[kotwbutach84]

I lOVE THIS WORKOUT :)

[0412g]

LOOVVEE SPARKPEOPLE!

[amouch84]

thanx alot for ur all great videos! i would like to know how many time per week i should do pilates? and can u show us the best workout for the legs??

[Jasaquinda]

Coach Nicole is great! Clear, pleasant and the the work out is wonderful. Feeling the burn.

[Starfalling4]

This summer i want my butt and legs to look good, i think this will definitely help reach my goal! its easy, and i can feel the burn!

[ghinga7girl]

Coach Nichole is so pleasant :)

[Rhapsodysia]

I'm a beginner and this workout was perfect! Definitely something that I'll look forward to doing on a regular basis. It's easy to follow along, but you can totally feel the burn too, so you know it's working. Quick as well, which is perfect as I'm a student and don't have the time or money to go to a gym. Thanks a bunch = ]

[teepacsamir1]

you can do it on your carpet , or if you want to actually use something maybe a towel? i have the mat and barely use it lol. but good luck , this excersise looks great.

[itsabekithing]

what is on her arm?

[Ladarzak]

> what is on her arm?

I wonder if that's a mike for recording. The sound quality of her voice changed a lot when she changed sides.

[xxxchloefxxx]

i think its just the thing to record her blood pressure and heart beat etc

[sparkpeople]

It's a bluetooth wireless microphone.

[chapinaprincess]

thanks lots i do all your exercises every night, because i'm way to busy to do anything during the day or go to the gym, but they really help me feel better and look great.

[esila61]

can someone pls answer me...do u realy need a mat to do this it might sound like a stupid question i no. Can i not just do it on a carpet?

[dedaicalok89]

i guess it is almost the same, right? In reality, they only ask you to use a matress so that you don't notice the hard floor while you're doing the exercices, so I suppose it doesn't matter wheather you use a matress or a carpet

[linda123345]

i think the carpet is just fine =)

[jurajhalenar]

it's a good training for me thank you

[piike1992]

i tried the first move and fell over. =( lmao i have a pilates class tommorow and have no idea how i'll survive. grr

[andreeadulama]
