Hi Jess
Up and running – any chance you could recommend some of your video suggestions?
I’ll do Pete’s in the meantime.
Thanks David
Hi David, thanks for joining me! Here are the videos to try…Beginners Pilates 1, 2 and 3 and 5 Of The Best Back, Hip and Shoulder Exercises.
So, Week 1: Beginners Pilates 1 (20mins) plus do 5 of the Best Back Exercises (10mins) Do them on different days. Try this combination for a couple of weeks. If it’s working out to do 2 x sessions, try Beginners Pilates 2 + 5 Of The Best Hip Exercises for the following two weeks and finally the 3rd of the beginners series plus the shoulder exercises. You can of course do more but start with 30 minutes a week. If you only have 5 minutes, do Pete’s Pilates. Keep in touch and let me know how it’s going.
All the best
Jess
