my arms are shaking after this one lol i was definitely side eyeing you at certain parts
girl what kind of goddess level is this
I just wanted to do some exercises… got humbled real fast
That’s more of an arm workout!!
My arms burrrnin 😭
This was very hard, I underestimated Pilates 😭
crying cs i can't do most of these
Great workout. Expected a bit of back exercise from a "total" core workout though.
Other than that great stuff
15 year athlete never felt this tired from a workout in my life
The amount of times i said girl in this video….. this was challenging off the bat😂😂😂
girl this is insane i almost died
Had me swearing and groaning 😭👍
Sorry girl I cursed you a few times and thought I was in a very strict gymnastic training. And your soft voice is just like an insult to the pain. But it was good. I felt great after the workout and it was the best.
I had a new hope that everything comes to an end, I just need to go through it.
My goodness!!! It's bittersweet because you're contemplating life, but it hurts so good. 😂❤
i will never think pilates are easy again
Girl wtf was that i am not even half way through this workout and I feel like crying
This is crazy hard, and I hate that my arms hurt because I cannot hold the posture 😂 love you for this
I feel like this is arm workout and not core😭😭
the way she says "lower your knees" so gracefully as if i haven't already died 3x over
Love Pilates, Nicole’s vids and love this challenge, especially the leg rotation one in plank. Thank you Nicole.
My wrist always hurts sooo bad even tho I make sure I'm in the correct position 🙁 what do I dooo
Every time Nichole would say, "Yep, you got it," I'd be like, "Sure, I've got plenty of things—like a talent for tripping over nothing and an impressive collection of snack crumbs—but this isn’t one of them!" Seriously, what a wonderfully ridiculous challenge! 😮
I know these are the videos I need to follow because they PISS ME OFF with how damn difficult they are. I know I can stop at any time but momma ain’t raise no bitch and I’m not a quitter. But damn girl why you gotta move so slow 🥲
I can't believe what Nicole did for me! My hubby loves my new found flexibility! We used to only do it once a month after we had the two boys, but now he wants it every night ! xoxo -Shaneequa
UR NOT HUMAN OMG…. Love this workout 😂
I must be a little masochistic. I'm very out of shape and couldn't keep up, but! I did finish the video! I'm determined to make this a 30 day challenge to see if I can get to the point where I can actually do the whole video without collapsing like I did today. Thank you for sharing this [torture] insanely good core workout! 😁
Added ankle weights! This killed me
😅
This is difficult! Not sure if my arms were just tired but this one’s tough. But glad I pushed through. 🫶🏼 adding this to my core /ab favorites 26 Feb 2025🎉
Made me sweaty. Thanks!.definitely will.come back for more and more
This is turning out to be a 50 minute work out
I looked like a chicken having an attack. This me pausing in the middle cuz i need a breakkkk 😭😭
i died a 100 but i go back to this
2:39 there's no way (i'm gonna do it)
I’ve been strength training for 10 months, about 2 minutes in and I said “who tf does she think she is” and quit lmfao
OMG!!! It's a killer 💪
this work out is more intense than your other ones!
this was haaaaaard but so enjoyable at equal parts.thank you so much Nicole.

Omg this one is killer
i thought maybe you wanted to kill me today nicole 😭
This was intense. Some of the workout were difficult for me but I tried my best. I would do it again
