TRY THIS BEGINNERS PILATES WORKOUT ➡️

PILATES FOR BEGINNERS

✅ Pilates focuses on teaching you to stabilize and strengthen your core, and this is one of the most important things you can do for your fitness.

1

PILATES 100

Pump the arms up and down in a quick, controlled manner. Be sure to keep the shoulders and neck relaxed and focus on the core muscles doing the work.

2

TOWEL CRUNCHES

Tuck chin to chest, and use the core to peel the shoulders and upper back off the mat. The towel is there as a support system!

3

SINGLE LEG LIFTS

Towel crunch with a single leg drop. Draw one knee into the center by drawing the low back into the floor.

4

DOUBLE LEG TAPS

Similar to exercise in slide 3, but this time both legs will work together. Making it more challenging on the core.

5

BEND EXTEND

Towel behind the head. Start with heels together, knees bent. Then press the heels out and extend the legs long.

6

TOWEL SLIDES

Place towel under heels. What looks like a hamstring move actually engages the low abs to pull the towel away and towards you!

7

FULL BODY ROLL UP

Roll up 1 vertebrae at a time, keeping the arms long in front of you squeezing the towel to create more resistance.
