A Pilates-inspired bodyweight ab workout in 40 minutes: one intense circuit repeated twice, with just a mat.

Day 33 of the HR12WEEK 5.0 plan uses only bodyweight for a Pilates-inspired ab session. After a warm-up, one long circuit of 45 seconds on and 15 off runs through side bridges, bicycles, flutter kicks and planks, and is repeated for two rounds before the cool-down. The video runs about 40 minutes.

Equipment setup

🧘 Mat

Who Is It For?

People with a mat who want a demanding, no-equipment ab session with Pilates-style core work.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal if you have wrist, neck or lower back pain, or are new to core work, since the circuit is long and intense.

Key Benefits

Builds core strength and endurance from every angle with side, oblique and plank work, using nothing but bodyweight.

Things to Keep in Mind

Keep your lower back supported in kicks and bicycles, avoid pulling on your neck, and rest on your knees in planks if your wrists or shoulders tire.
