Day 6 done, and while my shoulders are a bit sore – I have been moving a lot of stock at work which doesn’t help. I still can’t do cobra after back surgery it’s just too uncomfortable – even the modified version, I skipped it (and the twists) everything else was ok. My surgeon loves that I’m staying active with Pilates and the pole take off exercises. Thank you for having so many modifications
That’s good you’re listening to your body! 💜
I am goign much slower XD But had a cold and work 70 hours a week sometimes. Slow and steady, listening to my body 🙂
Thata the smart way to go. 💜💜💜
I have a question about pole tightening. I have brass xpole. When I’m installing the pole and tightening it like a curtain rod do I tighten it until I can’t twist it anymore and then align the red line with the keyhole or do I tighten until I can’t anymore and then loosen it up? I just don’t want to fall and I have because I didn’t tighten it enough.
Hi! Here’s a video that should be helpful https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/60ba672a-19f0-4bac-9a5f-6ffdac110005
Yes I saw this video and it was helpful but even tho my pole spins very freely I did notice a little bounce back when I’m turning it just with my hands to check it. When I tried loosening the pole to where there was no bounce back the pole wasn’t tight enough and we both fell lol that’s what I’m trying to figure out should I tighten it all the way until I can’t tighten it anymore because that seems to be the best but I’m also scared that that might mess up my ceiling
As long as it’s under a stud you shouldn’t have to worry about the ceiling. Damage occurs when you place it in the wrong spot
The warm-up was hard. I could barely do it 😔.
Dont feel discouraged by that. It’s normal and part of the reason it’s here in this program/day. There’s gotta be some challenge stuff too, that’s how you get results. If you can easily do everything you wouldn’t gain anything.
All done, though gunna take a day off likely tomorrow as my shoulder is a bit to sore on the one side still!!! Really enjoying is this program so far!!!!!! gunna use tomorrow as a stretch day!
Sounds good. Always best to listen to your body 🙂
For the reps of the leg lifts, is it 12-15 for each direction, or total for all directions?
For each side/leg 😀
So left side forward/side/backward leg lift 12-15 each direction, then right side forward/side/backward 12-15 each direction or left side 12-15 forward/side/backward combined total, then right side 12-15 leg lift forward/side/backward combined total?
One rep is forward, side and back. so lift forward side and back 12 or 15 times on the left and the right side. However, if you want to count it differently, that’s totally fine. Just make sure you write it down so you can aim for one more during the next session.
Sounds good, thanks for the clarification!
No problem! Anytime
