A 5-minute intense Pilates class for the waist and core: 30 seconds per exercise, no breaks, no equipment and open to all levels.

Each exercise lasts 30 seconds with no breaks, so the class is high intensity yet accessible to every level. The video runs about 7 minutes with the introduction.

Who Is It For?

Anyone who wants a short, intense Pilates session for the waist and core, from beginners to advanced, with no equipment.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal if you need rest between exercises or have a sensitive back or neck: the 30-second blocks come with no breaks.

Key Benefits

Targets the deep core and waist with slow, controlled work; doing it 2-3 times a week helps build a stronger, more defined core.

Things to Keep in Mind

Keep your lower back supported and your neck relaxed, and take a pause or scale a move if it strains your back or you feel pain.
