A 30-minute full-body mix of Pilates-inspired moves and strength work, with dumbbells for added resistance.

Heather Robertson blends Pilates and strength training in a full-body session: after a warm-up, three circuits of 40 seconds on and 20 off, two rounds each, use dumbbells for extra resistance and intensity. Expect squats, glute bridge marches, dead bugs, curtsy kicks and crunch variations, then a cool down and stretch.

🏋️ Dumbbells🧘 Mat

Who Is It For?

Intermediate exercisers who like Pilates-style movement and want to add dumbbell strength, with a mat and light-to-medium weights.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells or if you want slow, classical Pilates; this one is a sweaty circuit that mixes strength and core work.

Key Benefits

Strengthens the legs, glutes and core with Pilates-inspired moves, while dumbbells add resistance and keep the pace up.

Things to Keep in Mind

Keep your lower back steady in the dead bugs and crunches, choose weights you can control and ease off if your knees complain.
