30 min Express Pilates and Weights

30-min Express Block Mondays/Wednesdays/Thursdays 7:00 pm

Short on time but want to build strength, protect your joints and decompress after a long day?

Join us online for an efficient, 30 minute evening reset designed to fit seamlessly into your busy week.

Led with an anatomy focus to ensure safe, smart alignment, this clean and focused session is broken down into four targeted phases:

• 5 min. Fluid mobility warm up flows

• 10 min. High precision, classic Pilates work for deep core stability

• 10 min. Dumbbell sculpting targeting your arms, shoulders, chest and legs

• 5 min. gentle stretching to calm your nervous system for a great night's sleep

What to bring and prepare:

• The Mat

• The weights: one pair of weight to medium dumbbells. We recommend 1.5 kg - 2kg for beginner /upper body comfort, and 3 kg to 4 kg for the lower body or if you want an extra challenge

• No weights? No problem! Grab two full bottles of water (1l-1,5 liters)

• We prioritize safety so if in doubt choose the lighter weights, always!
