I enjoyed it, thanks!

Oooh, that's effective. Did it following a 10 minute arms video so was feeling warm enough to attempt this one.
Amit - yoopod .
Well done Jo!! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Dale T
Liked the 10 minute abdominals. It is something I will have to work up to, and you were right about the need to be warmed up.
I will definitely do this class. again.
Amit - yoopod .
Thanks Dale. Just keeping working on it weekly and I am sure that in a few weeks you'll feel much more on top of it!! :)

Great class! I noticed my neck got tired after being in a crunch for an extended period. Anything I should focus on to prevent that?
Amit - yoopod .
Hi Kay
Sorry for the delay! Getting used to lockdown again... :(
I am glad you enjoyed the class :) Make sure you use you exhale fully - emptying the lungs and thus curling the RIBS forward... it will relieve pressure from the neck.
Also- if your neck tends to get tired when you curl fwd, it might be because you have a lot of tightness in the back of the neck so you may want to gently stretch it.
Meanwhile, when you feel tension in the neck, please rest for a moment and resume the exercise.
I hope it helps
Stay well

I have been doing pilates with yoopod for a week and 1 day now, and I was finally able to get through a class without modification! I can feel my body getting stronger. Thanks, Amit!
Amit - yoopod .
Thank you for your lovely comment Anna!!
Hope you'll keep getting stronger and feel great for taking the classes in the coming months and years :)
I know I am addicted to the work... hope you'll feel the same soon ;)
Warm wishes
Amit

Love this 10-minute abdominal joy! Thanks Amit! This'll be my go to when I'm pushed for time from now on....
Amit - yoopod .
My pleasure Anya :) I agree - It's a good option when pushed for time and wanting to feel good and see results quickly! Stay Well, Amit
Catherine H
Fantastic abs workout...again! Love it! ;-)
Jackie C
This class may be short but it’s a killer! That shaking ab move is aptly named. Thankyou Amit for a really challenging and thankfully brief class!
Catherine H
Thank you for a great abs workout Amit. I did another of your ab classes, so a 20 minute session has set me up nicely ;-)
Amit - yoopod .
Thank you Catherine :) It is quite amazing what we can do in just 20 minutes, isn't it? ;) Amit
Angela R
This is such a great set when you are short of time or straight after a bike ride. Wow I can feel my abs have worked!!
Angela R
Why is it saying that I need to upgrade to watch this video, when I'm paying for the pilates plan?
Amit - yoopod .
Hi Angela
Apologies about this problem! Can you please email me your full name and email address so that I can look into it? amit@yoopod.com
We never had anyone saying that before and I'd like to get to the bottom of it ASAP.
Thanks!
Amit
Annie B
Most likely a glitch as I have this problem too with other videos. You are not the only one.
Amit - yoopod .
Hi Annie
Can you please drop me a line (amit@yoopod.com) with your full name and email address and let me know which classes you cannot see? I'd like to look into it please.
Many thanks
Amit

Great excercise. Slowly getting back into pilates after having my second child (3 months postpartum). I don't have a lot of spare time, so these 10-15 mins classes are brilliant. Thank you.
Gabriela H
Amazing what can be achieved in only 10 minutes! Fantastic class.
Thank you Amit!
NATHALIE T
Great! Those abs did work! Very proud of myself.
As always thank you Amit
Kavita R
Excellent work out! Found the last bit hard but will improve over time
JUlie C
Really good to get me started -and an area most of us want to concentrate on.
Thank you
B G
Ooftt burn burn burn Thanks Amit
Gabriela H
Thank you Amit,
great abs workout.
Jo C
Wow that was a tough 12 minutes - I'm still struggling to do the roll ups without using momentum and having to grab my legs but i think if I keep doing this class then I might get there eventually, Thanks Amit
Eva R
Did it the 3rd time and will keep repeating to get better as I need that right now, great to do a quick regular workout when short on time but still feel the need to move. Do some warm up before and chest opening afterwards, perfect way to end and come down after a busy day :)
Mhairi A
Excellent class really effective. I worked up a sweat in ten minutes!
Jane U
A really excellent focused class - and I agree with an earlier comment that it is a great start to the day.
Amit - yoopod .
Hi Julie. Thanks for your message. I am really glad to hear how good you feel after the class :) Pointing the toes can easily give us cramps... because we spend too much time in shoes and our feet get stiff! Try the foot sequence in the following class; it will help over time if you make sure to do it regularly. Best Amit http://www.pilatesod.com/classes/class-019/

I have done this exercise every morning before work, it has set me up for the day, waking me and giving a good stretch. I have found myself standing taller and straighter as a result, however, if I keep my toes pointed like Amit, I get cramp in my feet and toes! Any ideas how I can stop this please?
sharon c
Love the idea of the pelvis dipping down in plank to stretch out abdominals
Marie C
Wow, that was fantastic! Thank you.
Carol O
Great work out
Amit - yoopod .
Well done Moshe!! Hope you felt better for doing the class and hope your "trapped nerve" situation is resolved soon! and thanks for the compliments as well... :)
Moshe B
Did it as best I could with a "trapped nerve", so a bit of cheating took place. Nevertheless awesome technique to work the abs in a low-impact way. Thanks Amit, you are an outstanding instructor (oh, have I said it before?).
