Video 615 | Weighted Pilates (30 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
7 Day Fitness Plan

14-Oct-2024
Pilates is considered to be a bodyweight form of training. Because of this, the load required to do this activity will build only enough muscle to deal with that, which may be enough for some goals! However, adding weights to Pilates will give you the ability to build muscle beyond mat-based Pilates. For many, due to lack of effort in actually squeezing muscles efficiently, will notice that hypertrophy gains will plateau very fast with Pilates. Adding weights will help you learn to put more effort into your Pilates routines and build muscle more efficiently.
We will start with squats, calf raises, planks, and quadruped exercises. Next, see how the weights can be both an assist as well as a new challenge to the Pilates abdominal sequence. Experience chest presses, lateral raises, front raises, rows, overhead presses and hip work while moving in and out of these core exercises.
