Training Basics
Pilates bar: a 20-minute beginner workout
FORMA Team · 5 min czytania
A Pilates bar gives you resistance for your whole body in something that fits in a drawer. This workout uses six exercises — do each for 45 seconds, rest 15, and repeat the circuit three times.
The six exercises
Use the lightest band to start:
- Squat with overhead press
- Standing row
- Reverse lunge
- Bicep curl
- Glute bridge with the bar across your hips
- Lying leg press
Focus on control
Move slowly and keep the band under tension the whole time. Two seconds up, two seconds down.
Progress
When all three rounds feel easy, switch to a heavier band or add a fourth round.
