Setup
Place a mat on a flat floor with enough space to stretch out. Wear comfortable clothes and loosen your joints before starting.
Start phase
Engage your core and start with basic movements. Move slowly while keeping your spine and pelvis stable.
End phase
Finish with light stretching to release tension. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Controlled movements work your core and posture muscles. They also build whole-body flexibility and coordination.
Common mistakes
Move slowly with control instead of using momentum. Avoid over-arching your lower back or tensing your neck and shoulders.
Breathing
Inhale to prepare and exhale as you engage your core. Keep a steady rhythm without holding your breath during movements.
Coach tip
Record the time spent doing Pilates. Do not enter repetitions or the number of exercises.
