I did pilates this morning as it seems I am getting the best results for toning by alternating power walking and pilates. I am doing the beginner pilates playlist for Move with Nicole free on YouTube; it is compiled of 10 videos, some of which I have done so often, I have the words memorized, others only once or twice, and some not at all. Some of those moves she does, my balance just isn't there (but I'm determined to keep trying and at least get better at it!). Other parts of the video are easy or okay for me but some parts hard, like the tricep pushups (which basically you do a push-up on your knees, slide back into child's pose, shift your weight back to the pushup position on your knees, do a pushup, child's pose, pushup, etc.) It's only in some of the videos, and you only do about 20 of those each time, but it's been enough to tell a noticeable definition om in my triceps.
Oh, and I did the 1 min plank twice, going to try to do it once again this afternoon.
