If you want to strengthen your body’s muscles from head to toe and build solid core strength without using machines or dumbbells, then this mat Pilates session is worth trying. Pilates is low-impact, yet a great way to build muscle endurance, while enhancing your mobility, balance, and coordination. No equipment is needed for this workout either; just yourself, something soft to lie on and a little space.
Pilates goes beyond delivering physical benefits, but mental ones too. While all exercise is great for our mental wellbeing, a small 2020 study involving 87 young men found that a single 30-minute mat Pilates session led to noticeable reductions in anxiety, fatigue, and overall negative mood.
