Take your Pilates practice to the next level with this creative 25-minute Pilates Mat workout combining light weights with flowing full-body sequences.

Instead of performing traditional Pilates exercises one at a time, this workout uses a combination format designed to challenge your strength, coordination, control and muscular endurance.

You'll first learn each movement with 8–10 controlled repetitions before combining the exercises into flowing sequences using just 2 repetitions of each movement, repeated 4 times through. This creates a continuous Pilates flow that keeps both your muscles and mind engaged.

You'll work through 3 different full-body flows featuring a variety of challenging movements including side plank variations, leg raises from multiple angles, Pilates push-ups, oblique crunches and Down Dog exercises to strengthen and engage the shoulders, arms and core.

The light dumbbells add an extra sculpting challenge while allowing you to maintain the controlled, precise quality of Pilates movement.

Finish with a relaxing full-body stretch.

Perfect when you want an efficient Pilates workout that packs strength, sculpting, coordination and core work into just 25 minutes.
