Pilates-Inspired Core Stability (24mins) | STRENGTH
15-30 Minutes
•
23m
Pilates was a major component in my rehab after a lower back injury. The slow, controlled movements helped me build my mind-body connection, and the focus and breathing was akin to yoga. In this workout, you’ll want to focus your effort on how still you can stay, rather than how fast you can move: every movement is added as a stimulus to challenge you to not move. You’ll see some of my favourite moves from a classic mat Pilates class, and some more core work that is aligned with that style, but a little more accessible. Expect lots of work through your core, which includes abs, lower back, and glutes/hips.
Equipment: I recommend a small pillow or block for your head.
Intensity Level: Moderate
