Awesome! I’ll definitely check it out!

You're not alone! I used to train elite runners. So, you do need to start with a beginner class and work the foundations. If you do my free series fullbodyin15.com it's so great for building your foundations! We have to strengthen your hamstrings and glutes while stretching your quads and hips! So my fullbodyin15.com workout is perfect. And, if you join OPC I can look at your form and give you some more tips! I've been where you are!! You got this!

hey love, totally understand. This is the full mat order and its advanced. I highly recommend you try out our beginner mat classes on here. Or, for an indepth series on the Mat exercises fullbodyin15.com is my free series that will really help you develop your strength and stamina. And then the next time you take this workout you'll be able to replace any exercise you can't do yet with ones you can. Ideally you want to build up to transitioning without pausing so you can maintain your connections. It makes harder exercises more possible. But, it takes time. So its absolutely awesome for you to be where you are. If you can't find those beginner classes or have questions about fullbodyin15.com happy to answer xx~LL

It’s the fastest Pilate class I’ve ever did I usually do Mary Windsor Pilate and other Pilate videos I hope you have better videos

Hey Ana, without seeing them move or their set up my guess is they are over rounding their upper back with their shoulders and under rounding their lower back. That can be due to tightness or weak abdominals or both. Something to have them consider is that its less about going "back" and more about getting the hips up. xx~LL ps I'll go live about this in the future Sunday 9am PT and dive in deeper.

Hey Ana, I'm going live on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 9am PT to answer your rolling like a ball question! Here's a link to the scheduled live: kzfaq.infoIvnCr_obzNs?feature=share

@@OnlinePilatesClasses thank you so much! I will try to watch live, as I am in Portugal 🇵🇹. Xx

yes it is just like Rabbit in Yoga! Its so good! We'll be doing a mat challenge starting March 1st hope you join us xx~LL

there's actually only a couple exercises on the Mat where there is specific breath directions. So as long as you're not holding your breath while you're moving you're doing a great job! xx~LL

My mat doesn't slip. Its a contrology Mat and you can use my discount link to order one. You should be able to see it in the show links. If not feel free to ask my team at opc.me/chat xx~LL

I use contrology and you can I do have an affiliate link if you want a discount. It should be in the perks link in the show notes but let me know if you need it xx~LL

My equipment is contrology! I have discount links in the description! Its amazing!!! xx~LL

@@OnlinePilatesClasses awesome thank you

Hey Anne, thank you so much for sharing! We actually have several videos on here and I have a workshop on onlinepilatesclasses.com Check out my video for Single Leg Circles with a Magic circle. Also, if you search my channel for "hip clicks" I've got a couple other lives I did on this channel. And then my Thass® workshop will help you. A hip click means you are hiking your hip during the circles and using more hip flexors than hamstrings and glutes. So you can do ovals. And not circle all the way up. And then make sure you take advantage of the glute strength in Single Leg Kick and Shoulder Bridge. Feel free to chat with my team at opc.me/chat if you can't find what you're looking for. xx~LL

@@OnlinePilatesClasses Found it! Thank you! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJ9jm8l0mb7MYpc.html I'll be trying it this week.

Yes Danica does, I'm not a dancer so I love my elbow bends :)

Hey Aline, Pilates is low impact so that is ok that you didn't feel like it had so much impact on your body. Also, its a practice, I just taught this class in person to some people who have done it for 20 years and its so cool how its get harder but continues to stay possible. Yes, the pace is zesty. But the Mat order isn't meant to take a full hour. Its meant to move. The reason is you want your smaller muscles to join the party and not go too slow that your bigger muscles do the work. xx~LL

Thanks Lesley for your response, I do also lots of barre and Pilates (not your classical versions probably) which does give me that burn. I'll for sure do a few more classes on your channel and see how I feel. Thanks!

@@alinekuehn4249 ah gotcha! Ok, so the "burn" feeling it happens occasionally in Pilates but not in every exercise. I found the more connected I got the more I felt that. But, also, the burn isn't a sign of a good workout or even a hard workout. The barrel work you're doing is great! It will help you find more connections on the mat work. The mat work is easy to do the choreography but not have the connections. So, def keep it up! And, also, because you're doing less than 8 reps in this workout sometimes less than 5 you likley won't have the burn. maybe in Side kicks. If you're an OPC member you can send in video of you doing an exercise to get feedback on your form xx~LL

I'm so sorry to read this. This is an advanced Pilates workout. If you're new to Pilates I highly recommend you try a beginner class. We have several on this channel. But, if you don't like me as a teacher you can absolutely take from other people.

Totally understand! That's a sign you're not fully connecting to your glutes/hamstrings and your hip flexors are over working. I work on the hip click in my Thass® workouts on OPC. And if you're an OPC member I can look at your form on the exercise you're feeling that click and provide some personalized feedback. xx~LL
