An isometric move requires you to hold a static position while your muscles are under tension. This type of training improves muscular endurance, helps lower blood pressure - therefore, great for heart health, and it provides performance advantages for activities like running, swimming and cycling. This workout is all about making the most of isometric holds in your Pilates practice... and there are a lot!

We start with some standing work and focus on muscle engagement, followed by a fun side lying and swan series. We end with triceps work and a lovely side stretch.
I'm using the Exo Chair by Balanced Body.

A full body session you can do anywhere! We work on the core, the back, the lower body (especially the quads), and end with some spicy abdominal work and a couple spinal mobility exercises. It's a quick one, but a good one!
