Day 1 of my latest 5DC! No Standing Total Body Pilates
Hello!! 👋
My latest 5-day challenge is here, a Strength x Pilates Hybrid! You can read all about the details (who it's for, what to expect, etc.) on the Challenge Homepage 😊
In the meantime, here's what you can expect for the full-length day 1 workout:
This no-standing total body Pilates workout is all about strengthening your “powerhouse” (deep core and glutes) while improving overall control and stability. Everything takes place on the mat, making it a grounded, focused session where slower, more intentional movement really brings the burn. It’s less about speed and more about that strong mind-muscle connection we know and love, leaving you feeling deeply worked in a way that’s both challenging and refreshing. Having already completed the workout, I can attest to that - even the next day!
The workout includes a warm-up, followed by 5 circuits (each completed twice) using 40s work / 10s rest, and a cool down. You’ll need a mat, light to medium weights, and most likely extra padding for your knees during one section. Difficulty can vary depending on your experience with Pilates, but you can always forgo the weights. After all, in this style of training, moving slower and with greater control and precision is what really makes it effective.
