1. Get your space prepared: I've eliminated belly down movements (think push-ups, burpees, renegade rows), so I recommend getting your space set up for success. The higher the surface the more support for you and your core. Grab a bench, stable chair, or set up near a wall nearby. If you notice any doming through the belly during a movement it may be time to take up the incline. 2. Press pause: Yes, you read that right. I seriously wish Peloton had a pause feature for this exact purpose. Since I stream most classes, it's not much of an issue :) Pressing pause gives you a bit more time to transition between movements, grab water, take a bathroom break, and set up your space. 3. Decrease your load: Weight suggestions are just that - suggestions. I often opt for bodyweight or bands instead of the weight recommendations provided. You do you mama! 4. Try a Preview: I tend to pre-watch on-demand classes before I take them. That way I know what's coming for the strength section and I already know how I'm going to switch things up /get my equipment prepared before class even starts. Maybe this takes the fun out a bit, but it helps me feel prepared.

5. Live classes: Not relevant for on-demand, but if you are taking a class with a local instructor, reach out beforehand! Let them know you'll be joining. They can provide some additional cues and support for you through class - even virtually.
