Okay, so I’m new to this series and enjoying the challenge of learning new things. However, I felt so unprepared for the pike/plough part. It seems like it came out of nowhere and was a large leap ahead challenge wise. I felt like it didn’t fit in the progression of this series.

I am really enjoying the pilates part of this challenge. However, this one was just too hard when the inversions came in, doing the pike thing. It would be nice if there were some modifications mentioned for those of us who just don't have the flexibility to do such movements. I have lumbar scoliosis which hinders my practice.

This challenge has introduced me to pilates for the first time and I am already feeling a difference with my core strengthening. I have enjoyed these classes a lot. One tip, however, I wish instructors would remain silent as they adjust themselves. I have seen other instructors adjust themselves, remove sand, etc. without mentioning it and I find this is very effective for me to stay present in my body (and not have to be disrupted with the instructors comments about what they are adjusting in their body). Thanks!
