Enjoying your classes but unable to lift back to do the rollover. Any suggestions ? Thanks

Hi Jaqueline
I am glad to hear you are enjoying the classes :)
The Roll Over is tricky for many people... I can suggest the below-
1. Look at this clip to help you understand it better and improve your technique points https://www.yoopod.com/resource/roll-over-pilates-exercise
2. Place a big pillow under your butt so you don't start from the level of the Mat
3. Use your hands for support as you roll over and then place the hands on the Mat again and control the way back very slowly and controlled
I hope this helps

Good class. I am All of a sudden feeling some neck strain doing hundreds. Do you have any suggestions?

Amit - yoopod .

I am glad you enjoyed the class Joan :)
If you are feeling neck strain in the hundreds or any other abdominal exercise, please back off- rest your head down for a moment and start again. If you are holding more tension in the back of your neck these days then you'll be feeling it in these exercises...
Also- make sure you are not pressing the chin down on your chest too much and that you are drawing front of the ribs "into the body" as much as you can with every breath out - this will make you work the Abs more and the neck less.
Hope this helps
Best

I am doing the Basic Pilates Programm, and this class was a bit challenging but nice. However, I cannot manage to do the roll ups at this point. Do you have any suggestion for an easier variation? Thanks!

Amit - yoopod .

Hi Nina. I am glad to hear you are enjoying the classes and it is a great idea to follow a programme! The Roll Up can be very challenging for people with tight lower back... I would suggest starting the exercise in the seated position and then choosing one of 2 options: 1) Roll down slowly - with as much control as you can, and then roll up through the side (using your hands to assist you) OR 2) Roll down only as far as you can roll back up - so it is like you are doing "half a roll-up"... and then slowly slowly increase the range (how far you roll down...). Hope this makes sense and helps. Amit
