Today was the Girl with the Pilates Mat 30 min Pilates for Strength & Weight Loss (weight baring). Typical Rachel here. She likes her side lying leg lifts, pelvic curls - and I tune in for those and more.
Jane P - At the moment I am working out exclusively with youtube. I have pilates DVDs but most aren't in the 25 min range. One of my favorites is Element Target Tone Pilates which has 3 sections which are about that length. Last year when I saw that the yoga I was doing daily wasn't getting me where I wanted to be I added in more pilates. I was already doing abt 10-15 min of core work daily so it wasn't a big 'stretch' (but stretch me it did). Easier days can be a beginner class, stretch, body part focused, a shorter class, slower pace. I try to mix it up throughout the week. There is so much content out there and some of it is really good. Try some shorter beginner classes if you're restarting. I'm looking forward to the one I have chosen for tomorrow.
