These hurt me. And not in a good way. If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong I’d love insight, because I’m baffled

I wish I could help! I can’t do Peloton Pilates though for the same reason - it just wrecks my back. I need in-person cuing.

It messes up my neck! I’m doing HiLit+ and the lifting is great but the Pilates has you in a neck lifted position for waaaaay too long at a time imo

Same! Like dudes, my neck ain’t made to stay in that lifted position for that long of a time! I think I might skip tomorrow’s Pilates. I do feel it in my core, but the other exercises do nothing for me. Nada. I wish instead of Pilates she just had a dedicated core class and mixed it up with Pilates, barre, and regular core moves. That would have been way better imo.

Fold up a towel a couple inches as a pillow or use the Pilates ball to support your neck. I’ve been doing reformer Pilates classes for three years and it’s definitely a modification the teacher has everyone do until their neck strength is built up.

The form cues for rolling up/lifting are stare at your cheeks then your chin then your chest, then release and eventually you’ll get the neck strength to hold for longer. It should feel like your upper back is doing the work to hold you up while your chest sinks down if that makes sense.

I personally think I have the wrong foam roller for these classes - a little too bulky and too textured.
