Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
People with a mat and light dumbbells who want a longer, structured Pilates-style abs session at home.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal if you have wrist, neck or lower back pain, or want cardio, as the session is built around planks and core work.
Key Benefits
Strengthens the abs and deep core with controlled Pilates-style moves, and the light dumbbells add a bit more challenge.
Things to Keep in Mind
Keep your lower back supported, use light weights and ease off the planks if your wrists or shoulders feel strained.
