I would say probably the second description. Not real sore but definite pulling feeling when I turn my neck.

Most of the pilates exercise require you to hold your head off the floor so I can certainly see why it uses muscles in the neck. I just want to be sure I'm using the right muscles.

I'm also feeling the effects of the workout around the lower section of my ribs and just below.

It's a great workout for me. I'm not very good at keeping up with aerobics (sp) so I'm glad to have found something that I think is going to be effective!

Thanks for the advice!
