From video: 30 Min. Mat Pilates Workout with Ankle Weights

Video Description

Hey loves! Welcome to Week 2 of our Pilates with Ankle Weights series 🤍 This week we’re building on the foundation from Week 1 by adding a new sequence and slightly harder variations. The goal is to increase volume while refining control and stability. Ankle weights might look small, but placing resistance at the ankle creates a longer lever — which means your core, glutes, and hip stabilizers have to work much harder to control each movement. That’s why this style of training is so effective for: • deep core strength • glute activation • hip stability • muscular endurance • long-term joint health and longevity Today’s workout includes several circuits, including a challenging plank sequence to build strength and stability. Next week we’ll add another sequence, and the week after that we’ll introduce small dumbbells to increase the challenge even more. Stay consistent with the series to experience the full progression. Let me know in the comments: How challenging was this workout from 1–10? And how did the plank sequence feel for you? 📅 DOWNLOAD Your Free Monthly Workout Schedule: https://the-art-of-health.de/en/freebies-en/ Details for this workout ▼ ○ Muscles worked: Full Body ○ Time: 30 Minutes ○ Equipment: Ankle Weights (I used 1kg each) 🔔 Subscribe to my channel for weekly free Workouts ► https://youtube.com/@MarieSteffen?si=t3G2NFmDu8RBg0VP 👟 My Favorite Shoes For Strength & Mobility ► https://tidd.ly/3vXDqAU Get 15% with Code 'Marie15' off your Vivobarefoot shoes 🦶 🎧 The Art of Health Podcast ▼ ○ On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Y173fTNhC7nQBtrhmluTR?si=9a376632ef4142fd ○ On Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-art-of-health-podcast/id1705076378 My Website ► https://the-art-of-health.de Disclaimer Before starting this workout, consult with your healthcare provider, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.
