When life gets busy and I don’t have the time I’d like for a Pilates class or some yoga, I turn to YouTube, roll out one of the best yoga mats for home practice and get my body moving at home instead.

I stumbled across this Pilates-meets-strength training routine while trying to fit a 15-minute core workout into my day recently. It’s touted as an “express core workout,” which means you won’t have to spend too many minutes on the mat if you’re in a rush.
