In this full body workout, we mix Pilates mat work with strength training. As we move from one technique to the other, you'll get all the benefits from both practices. Your body will feel invigorated, stronger and more flexible. Enjoy!

Mat technique level: 2
Intensity level: Blazing
Equipment: I use 5 pound and 8 pound hand weights/dumbbells but feel free to use lighter or heavier weights.

Why weight lifting/strength training?
As we age - starting in our third decade - we tend to lose muscle mass. Resistance training is a great way to keep our muscles strong. Reformer Pilates is a form of resistance training, but incorporating weight lifting into your workout routine will help you continue to see results and muscle gain.
