Overview

This 5 day challenge combines two complementary training types: Pilates and Strength! While strength builds muscle, structure, and power, Pilates hones in on control, precision, and the mind-body connection. Pilates makes the muscles work in a whole new way, creating notable improvements in muscle endurance, posture, and stability (to name a few). In turn, this allows the body to use its strength more effectively. Try out this challenge and see for yourself! 😊 

Who is this program for? 
This challenge is for those who want to take their strength training strategy to a new level, with the possibility of accelerating progress in the areas noted above, as well as: lean muscle mass, coordination, balance, core engagement, correcting muscle imbalances, joint protection, functionality, recovery, mobility, reducing burnout, preventing injury, and so much more. With such an array of benefits, this challenge will appeal to an array of people! You'll get that satisfying muscle exhaustion that comes from the progressive resistance of strength training while capitalizing on core stability, alignment, and the sweet, sweet muscle burn that comes from the endurance side of Pilates. 

  • Avid strength trainers
  • Runners/endurance athletes
  • Crosstrainers
  • Beginners are welcome! (while emphasizing modifications)
  • Those with body composition goals
  • Team sports players
  • Improving a cranky back
  • Experiencing core training in a new way

  • Benefiting posture and alignment
  • Those wanting to feel more well-rounded in their training approach

  • Day 1: No Standing Total Body Pilates - L4 (42 minutes)
    • [Companion] Day 1: Quick No Standing Total Body Pilates - L4 (20 minutes)

Equipment
All you truly need to be set up for success is a mat and a range of light to heavy dumbbells. There are a few instances where you will see me offering you an extra challenge by using ankle weights, a workout bench as a positioning preference, and an extra mat for greater comfort (I have a concrete floor beneath me). Again, these additions are completely optional and should not compromise your experience. 

Closing Notes
At this point, I'm just excited for you to try this week-long experience as I guide you through a personal spin of Strength x Pilates ðŸŽ‰
