Twenty minutes of mat Pilates for core strength and back tension relief, joint friendly with no hands-and-knees positions.
This express Pilates routine is done entirely on the mat and avoids hands-and-knees positions, which keeps it kind to knees and wrists. It activates the core, stretches and releases tension in the back, and adds exercises to tone the thighs, butt and hips, with a pace suited to everyday practice. The video runs about 21 minutes.
