This morning, I knew I needed to slow the exercise down. My body was just exhausted from power walking and jogging in the heat & humidity for several days one after the other the past week. I did a beginner pilates video from the Move with Nicole series (again, a fantastic free series all levels of pilates on YouTube that I cannot recommend enough). This video was a bit harder than the beginner gentle pilates videos she does; it had you holding in a squat as well as a plank series where you tap alternate knees to the floor while holding in the high plank. But I love her videos especially as they always end in a series of stretches at the end of the workout.
