Description: Week 1 - Day 3: CORE (Guided)

Really nice core exercises.  Gained a deeper understanding of breathing technique and pilates movement.

Mary

Noor

Great core workout! I’m noticing that I’m feeling a lot of strain in my neck and shoulders with a lot of these workouts. Do you have any suggestions for adjusting my form?

Kelly

I had difficulties to lift my hips up - my bottom felt too heavy. Same with the frog press - couldn’t get my legs off the ground, so that my movement was barely visible (I felt it though!) All the other moves were very good, manageable and I will definitely feel it tomorrow:-)

Annika

Great beginner workout! Needed the emphasis on my breathing!

Misty Barneyt

I made it. But it’s not for beginners. 🤩

Fabiola Catania

Judy

Maureen

It was very very very difficult for an older, out of shape, obese grandma starting out.  I really really tried.  But with my excess belly fat and just the loss of flexibility I had 20 years ago it just couldn’t do much of the exercises.  I tried.  Also very difficult to hold a phone to watch what you’re doing while trying to attempt myself.

Cathy

Challenging!!! I am not flexible. Did what I could. Hope to get better.

Jennifer

It was great!! Challenging but comfortable

Lissette

Amanda

Very challenging, struggled with some of the movements, due to muscle stiffness, but sure it will get better with time.

Santie Nortier

Been a long time since I’ve done a Pilates workout this was great!

Perfect complement to days one and two. Loved it!

I love pilates!  I also loved there were not any repeats in this workout.

Heidi, you always come up with a new combo. Your detailed instructions really helped Target my core!

Equipment: NONE!

Welcome to START STRONG 💪 This progressive 6 week program will provide a foundation for strength building to last all year!

Week 1 - Day 3: CORE (Guided)

Was good!  I figured out I could modify with a bottom stair.  Please mention before the first round.  I was looking around for a stool or something lower.  Then thought - stairs!  🥰

Derry

Katja

Great to return to this after a month absence. 💪

Allene

Week 1 - Day 2: Upper Body (Guided)

I got completely lost 😂 I definitely need your great guidance through the workouts!

Week 1 - Day 4: Lower Body (Circuit)

That was great!  The first time I did a circuit.  Liked it more than I thought I would.

Nancy

Week 1 - Day 5: Upper Body (Circuit)

I know you're trying to make these exercises a fast as possible to complete but maybe you could incorporate one session of a preview of each exercise and it's variations before the actual exercise sessions.

It kicked my butt! And I feel powerful! ❤️

Week 2 - Day 1: Lower Body (Guided)

Andrea

Araceli

Week 2 - Day 2: Upper Body (Guided)

Plank part at the beginning was too hard for me.

Kathy

Week 2 - Day 3: Core

Vicky

Love this format. Just got the gist of eccentric movement! Love when I think I hit the timer and hit 20 reps😂

Week 2 - Day 4: Lower Body (Circuit)

honestly i’m not motivated or love when it’s self guided! wish it was all the time you guiding us

Week 2 - Day 5: Upper Body (Circuit)

I felt stronger today! I upped my weights!

How high should my heart rate safely go?  I’m 2mo short of 69yo.  My HR goes to 145-148.  I read online it should only go to 140 max. Am I ok?  Or should I change something?

That was great Heidi. Did a week 3 workout on my day 1.

Lexi

Core exercises are so hard for me, but I really liked these. Even though I had to modify all of them.  Going to save this as a favorite

Week 3 - Day 3: Core

Love this option, gives me the opportunity to use other equipment that I have available and still follow the workout

Natalie

Taylor

Week 3 - Day 4: Lower Body (Circuit)

Sara

Week 3 - Day 5: Upper Body (Circuit)

Loved this one!!! Definitely tough but like how it raised heart rate and made me sweat.

After being sick for 2 weeks this was just what I needed to get back in the groove.

Week 4 - Day 1: Lower Body (Guided)

Without a bench it was hard to keep going up and down (to floor) with each exercise.

Good variations - 30 min went quickly today!

Week 4 - Day 2: Upper Body (Guided)

Awesome! Love the mock reformer moves. Very effective!

Increíble!!! Me gustó mucho esta rutina, trabajé músculos que no sabia que existían.

Adriana

Allison

Week 4 - Day 5: Upper Body (Circuit)

Loved the 3 combined workouts.  Especially loved the banded workout.

Great workout! Loved using a variety of bands weights and body weight.

Week 5 - Day 1: Lower Body (Guided)

I loved the workout but I can’t do almost all of the warm up.  Very little core strength, too much belly fat, and older.  Any suggestions for other arm shoulder warm ups?

Great arm and shoulder workout! Challenging trying to figure out what weight choices to make it effective.

Week 5 - Day 2: Upper Body (Guided)

Great workout and I love your top. Where can I get one like it?

Pauline

Week 5 - Day 3: CORE

Second time doing this routine this week and still love it! ❤️💪🏼

Step back to side squat and back to center for a minute…phew!

Week 6 - Day 1: Lower Body (Guided)

Love the variety of bicep, chest and shoulder variations.

Love the variety of moves in this workout.

Great workout!
I’m 2 weeks behind, but I’m looking forward to what’s next.

Week 6 - Day 2: Upper Body (Guided)

Staggered Leg Bridge, oh my! That was a new one for me. As promised, everything was cooked to perfection. Your coaching really helps me isolate the muscles we are working on. 🙏🏻

Favourite by far!! Love it.. Thank you Heidi

Week 6 - Day 3: Core

Week 6 - Day 4: Lower Body (Circuit)

Just now finished this amazing series! Thanks to your coaching and enthusiasm for wellbeing, I increased my weight. Great to have a goal with a beginning, middle, and end. Ready for the next challenge!
