<div class="editor-content"><p><span>In this 13-minute practice, Liz offers variations on the classic Pilates Series of Five abdominal sequences so that you can find what feels good today and build on it each time you return. This is a challenging practice, and a little goes a long way! If you are new to Pilates or feel you need a better foundation, try one of Liz’s fundamental Pilates practices: Core or Flexion-Free Core.</span></p></div>

<p>Really enjoyed this - challenging but doable. I watched on 0.75 to give myself a bit more time to breathe!</p>

<p>The downloadable sheet is so helpful! Very much appreciate the timestamps! I'm going to do my best to commit to the schedule for at least 5 days a week for 6 weeks!</p>

<p>Wow! Wake up call for me, but I enjoy the challenge. Anyone have an tips or videos for helping to straighten the legs? My knees are always very bent which I know is fine but I feel like I’ve never been able to progress to make them straighter. </p>

<p>Appreciate your Pilates.  Having been with FWFG a long time, your instructions are a bit fast for me - especially since the breath is different in Pilates and your instructions are faster (perhaps assuming we know more than we do!).  Where do I find the instructions so I can follow you more easily?  Thank you.</p>

<p>The guide will be helpful to me. Quick question: Between sequences, Liz, you sometimes said. "Lift your head." Is that to make sure we're not holding tension there, which is something I do? </p>

<p>loved this quick and challenging core work, just perfect for a day where I'm late waking up. The plan has to wait till later, gonna be my reward for the days work. The hug the tummy went much better today, there was no muscular resistance. Thank you and a good day to all</p>
