Beginner Mat Pilates Workouts

01-Feb-2021
A membership exclusive from my earliest YouTube videos: Here’s a full-length Pilates lower body workout, using only a mat and optional ankle weights. This series is low impact, targets the glutes, outer thighs, inner thighs, calves, and feet for a comprehensive lower body burn. Bonus (yay): you’ll also get some deep core activation through the bridge and side-lying sequences.
No Pilates experience is needed; grab a mat or a towel, and some ankle weights if you want to use them, and let’s get started.
