[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great post, OP. I would love to hear more about the flexibility improvements and how you selected each class each day. I’m 51 and my lower back is stiff and in near constant pain![/quote]

OP here. Pilates would definitely help your back.  Move with Nicole has great Playlists that go by month, daily, week 1, 2, 3 etc. I started with beginner Playlists and then moved on to all the other playlists. I am working my way through the months. Sometimes when I feel that I want to go back and focus on form I will repeat a Playlist.  As I do her monthly and weekly playlists I do skip her yoga and Barre workouts. Bc I don't like yoga and barr seems annoying bc in my office where I practice my office chair has wheels on it. So I just don't feel like getting a dedicated fixed chair. She also has an abs and booty Playlist. But I find following her weekly playlists are more balanced. Most of her workouts are 25 to 30 min. So if they go over 30 min I just stop. Likewise a couple of her ab/booty workouts only run say 18 min so I either pare them with something else or I do my own freeform pilates for an extra 10 min or so. When I first started a year ago I always had to look at what she was doing. But 2 or 3 months in I got better and now I just listen and don't have to look.  Her queuing is excellent. Sometimes though I find that say my squat technique wasn't where I wanted it to be so as I've gotten better with just getting through, I've learned to focus more on technique.  Just dive right in.
