15 Minute Pilates Workout
Welcome to Free Fitness Gym,
Today we have a 15 minute Pilates workout and if you have the energy please try and do this workout twice over to make a 30 minute workout. This workout is fairly relaxed because we have worked you hard over the last couple of weeks, and wanted to give your body a gentle session. Pilates is very good for strengthening the core muscles and also stretching out the muscles whilst working them. Breathing technique is very important with all Pilates workouts, try to breath out on the hard part of the exercise, then breath in on the easy part of the exercise. Pilates exercises should be done at pace with our breathing with 1 repetition being performed over a breath in and a breath out. So do not worry if you feel you are not working hard enough during the exercise, they are designed to be done this way.
Pilates is also well known for reducing stress levels as you focus on your breathing throughout the workout. We will be doing a lot more Pilates workouts in the near future.
We hope you enjoy the workout and let us know how you are getting on.
