Planking...

As part of the Pilates class on Monday evenings, the instructor sometimes asks us to do some crazy moves...

Here is one - it starts out like a push up where you have to push the reformer bed out so that your shoulders are aligned at 90 degrees. Then we have to hold that position for a while. These pilates classes have been so good for my core strength and I could feel the ache which lasts a few days later.
