[@PilateswithDonnaFinnie]

💯spicy 😂🤣!

[@181210st]

Day 2 of round 2 done. It was much better although I still have some lower back pain😬

[@PilateswithDonnaFinnie]

hi ... think about engaging your pelvic floor, keep the movement slow and controlled, layer in the breathing as much as possible, keep listening to your body. You're doing great xx

[@britt271]

I'm not sure if I was doing the balancing part correctly with the side leg movements because I could feel the burn in my lower back😅 I'm enjoying this challenge! Thank you

[@PilateswithDonnaFinnie]

Great job! Think about engaging your glutes ( squeeze your bottom ) particularly on the standing leg. It does really challenge your balance … it will definitely improve with practice and focus on your form and breathing xx

[@crose9136]

that was a good one,

[@PilateswithDonnaFinnie]

Fabulous 🙌🙌

[@181210st]

Day 2 done. It was challenging for me. I don't think I did it well because my lower back is painful 😏 😬 But I won't give up... tomorrow will be better 💪🏾🙏🏾

[@PilateswithDonnaFinnie]

You got this! Keep listening to your body, rest if you need to , breathe as you move, smile 😁it helps 🥰 xx

[@gemmaoliver8796]

Started yesterday.. jeeeeze this was intense on those last reps. Why does my knee hurt when I squat? Tried more of a sumo squat position and that feels better but still painful on my knee

[@PilateswithDonnaFinnie]

Make sure your feet are in a wide stance and knees pressing out, think about external rotation from the hip, rather than just the knee joint, hope this makes sense . Soften your hips before you begin to lower your glutes, think about driving your glutes down and back… picture a low stool behind you that you are trying to tap with your bottom , drive the glutes down and back and press the knees out but pushing from the hips. V hard to explain but hopefully you get my gist !! Let me know if this helps 👍🙏 xx

[@BrandiCodyDavid]

Wow! That was good & ‘spicy’ 😅 I’m sweating so much in that short time 😮

[@PilateswithDonnaFinnie]

Yes it was! I’m sure I was too!! Enjoy x

[@BrandiCodyDavid]

@@PilateswithDonnaFinnie well you look great so I’m on the right track! 😃
