Companion Workout of my latest 5DC! Quick No Standing Total Body Pilates
Hey everyone 🤗
My latest 5 Day Challenge drops this SUNDAY and combines two complementary training types: Pilates and Strength. This Strength x Pilates Hybrid is for anyone who wants to take their strength training strategy to a new level. Be prepared with a mat and a range of light to heavy dumbbells for workouts averaging 39 minutes each with modifications provided.
Today I have a shortened companion routine for my Day 1 workout so that you have get a taste of what the Challenge has to offer.
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 13 exercises (40 seconds active / 10 seconds rest), and a cool down. You’ll need a mat and light to medium weights. 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.
Where are my Pilates lovers? 😀 Who's going to join my latest Challenge this Sunday?
