the "Reformer"

Windsor Pilates...me, a mat, and an heavy duty rubber band. I can't believe I still have all of my teeth. Had to hook my feet and arms into this contraption and on several occasions was instructed to use it and my core to get me to an upright position. Not once did I make this work in an attractive or efficient manner. My core refused to cooperate. The only thing I was grateful for during the 45 minutes workout was that no one was there to see me struggle and watch the bands come flying off my feet. Shoulders and back sore. Must double up on the mat today. And wear mouth guard.
