Austin Bell+FollowThe hardest part of Pilates is the stretch—hands up if you agree, hands down if you don’t!I can grind through any move if the teacher counts me through it, but those last few minutes of class? Torture!!! Every second feels like an hour. During stretches my body feels like it’s falling apart, muscles burning and screaming; I can’t last ten seconds without collapsing. That’s the real agony, the true beast of Pilates!!! #Pilates #Stretching 20Share
