Is the beginner workout in the room with us right now? 👀👀😭

[nayarl]

OMG, I am a beginner in pilates and this is definitely not beginner friendly, but I love it ❤

[PolliitoAle]

It's always so humbling when you point out this was a begginer express class at the end 😂😂 god, I'm in bad shape haha

[cristinapinochet]

day two of trying pilates and I am DESTROYED, I have never tried it before, it's soooo good. Trying to get back in shape after neglecting my body for the past year, thank you Nicole for the help!

Your workouts are honestly the only ones that feel good to me...like they are just so calming yet challenging and effective, and i can stick to them

Day 1 of starting Pilates and I didn’t realize how hard this would be😭 halfway through my legs were burning! I’m going to keep doing this workout until it gets easier for me

[erinbond]

I’ve done some of Nicole’s intermediate classes and found this just as hard! If you are a beginner, this is tough so don’t give up!!

[LeiSoBeautiful]

First day of Pilates 😮 this did not feel like a beginner 😂. But I stuck to it and plan on doing it consistently

[fionawilson]

I have never in my life enjoyed exercise. I'm autistic and have adhd. I've always struggled not only to be engaged but to enjoy the workout itself. Until now. THANKYOU Nicole for all you do. I've never in my life enjoyed moving my body, feeling my strength grow and sticking to it. I really am grateful for creating a workout that I'm confident to try and not be embarrassed to workout at home. I can't really quite explain it but just thankyou. ❤️

[candebono]

Ok this was my first time EVER doing Pilates and this was definitly NOT beginner friendly omggg. But it felt really goood!!! I'll try really hard to continue exercising a bit more!

[rmwhflv]

Please do more beginner-friendly! I am a couch potato and this intensity is just about right for me. Thank you!

[beautifulsoul]

I do this twice daily. Morning and night. It has helped me build strength! Also couldn’t finish without breaks when I first started, now I feel the burn but I’m able to keep going.. no breaks. Thank you so much, Nicole.❤

[Tanukitty]

This is perfect for a busy day. Short but super effective. Thank you, Nicole 🥰

[kriziamanrique]

I felt this everywhere!! I thought that I was working out doing abs and legs exercises properly. But dang!! Pilates does humble you. I had to rest a few times on the legs portion. The abs and the side planks weren’t that bad but I felt it so bad. My whole body feels so much better after a few minutes. Feels like I can get back to actually feeling better at working out. Thank you! I will do this everyday and challenge myself to finishing the whole workout without resting.

Btw if anyone is wondering, I am currently trying to get back into shape after two back to back pregnancies. It’s been 15 months postpartum. I will update y’all on my journey.
I will actually do this workout everyday.

I loved this! I want more like this. I would love if you did a 30 day Pilates challenge type thing! I’m sure everyone here would also!

[ginacentanaro]

Perfect way to come back to workout while recovering from a 4-day fever. 😌 Even when being at an intermediate/advance level, it always feels nice to do beginner level and focus on breathing and have a good control

[messily]

Definitely didn’t feel beginner friendly, but I modified my through. You are very aspirational to watch!

Day 1: hurt a little but wasnt that bad
Day 2: burns more than yesterday 😮‍💨 but still not horrible, super sweaty tho!
Day 3: realllyyy felt the burn in my legs today but it's worth it 🔥
Day 4: really was breathing heavy today!
Day 5: my legs were burninggg during the lunges
Day 6: feels like my legs are getting stronger!
Day 7: my butt was burningggg
Day 8: donee
Day 9: had to take a 30 second break doing lunges bc my legs were burning so bad!! but i did it
Day 10: doneee
Day 11: doneee
Day 12: doneee
Day 13: doneee
Day 14: 2 weeks done!! 🎉 im going to stop updating daily but i will be continuing to do these exercises and will come back with an update in a month!

UPDATE: okay it's been a little over a month! I'm sorry to disappoint, but i haven't seen a drastic change so far. My legs feel stronger, but I think my body looks the same as when I started. Also the workout itself is still pretty difficult. I'd say if you're aiming for a month, keep at it! Maybe do it twice a day for faster results 🤷🏼‍♀️ (I do it once a day)

[makennaschaefer]

Felt so tired and didn't want to work out at all. Decided to just look at your videos to see if any motivated me and saw this one. Perfect for a tired day when I just needed to get my body moving!

Been practicing pilates for 20 years, and you are by far my favorite. A great instructor knows how to condense a full body workout in such a short amount of time. Thank you for being you <3
