New Workout (Day 5 of Strength x Pilates Hybrid Challenge)! Total Body Functional Strength
Hey everyone!
If you've been following along this week with my latest 5-day challenge, a Strength x Pilates Hybrid, congrats, you've made it to day 5 (or will shortly)! 🙌🏻 Here's what we've got to wrap up the week:
This total body functional strength workout is all about slowing things down and building strength with intention through unilateral (single-side) movements. By working each side independently, you’ll challenge your balance, coordination, and core stability in a way that really highlights and helps correct imbalances. It’s a thoughtful, controlled style of training that carries over into real-life movement, helping you feel stronger and more stable in everything you do.
Sandwiched by a warm up and cool down, we complete 2 rounds of 13 unilateral exercises. You’ll need a mat and a range of weights, but lighter is often better here so you can stay steady and in control. Expect this one to feel a bit more mentally engaging as we focus on alignment, staying centered, and coordinating the upper and lower body. This combo is what makes it so effective!
How do your workout choices help you feel and function better in everyday life? My hope is that this challenge as a whole opened you up to a training strategy that does just that 💪 I look forward to hearing more about your experience in the comments below!
