Pilates-inspired strength in 40 minutes with light and medium dumbbells: two circuits, plenty of core work and a mat.

Day 59 of HR12WEEK 5.0 is a Power Pilates-inspired session about finding length in the limbs, engaging the core and connecting to your breath. Two circuits of 45 seconds of work and 15 of rest use light and medium dumbbells, with moves such as plié pulses, side clam and kicks and single-leg rocket push-ups, then a cool-down. The video runs about 40 minutes.

Who Is It For?

People with a mat and light to medium dumbbells who want a Pilates-style strength session for the legs, core and upper body.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal without dumbbells or if you need a fully low-impact class, since one move in the second circuit includes a hop.

Key Benefits

Lengthens and strengthens the legs, core and upper body while linking breath and movement, in a structured 40-minute session.

Things to Keep in Mind

Keep your core engaged, protect your wrists in the push-up variation and swap the hop for a step if your knees or ankles complain.
