I am really enjoying this series. This trainer is so good, with her explanations and warm cool voice. It is not a strenuous workout and I like that I work my core a lot. I struggled initially with rolls ups but not anymore I think my body has mastered it.
NESSIE M heck yeah!!! To feel accomplished in the roll up exercise is amazing! How great is that!?! Thank you so much for taking the class and for your compliments. I am truly grateful! 🙏🏻😊
Caroline J thank you so much for your comment and question. I learned this modification from my mentors several years ago and have found it very helpful. The towel trick works because it requires less flexion out of your lumbar spine to get up. It “lifts up” the floor so-to-speak to meet your lumbar sooner and gives your back a leverage point to push off of. If you have more lordosis in your lumbar, or scoliosis, the roll up is going to be a challenge. Glad the towel works for you!
Erin, this workout is brilliant for honing in on pelvic stability. I will be doing it again and again. I look forward to contributing it to future progress in other exercises.
