I’ve been practising Pilates religiously for over a year and a half - these are the at-home exercises I swear by for boosting flexibility and strength

A woman doing some of the best at-home Pilates exercises on a black workout mat with a Pilates ball in hand.

Like many, I’ve come to love Pilates since I first gave this low-impact workout the space and time it deserves in my fitness routine over a year and a half ago. While I still attend an in-person class - doing so helps me learn the correct form from an instructor, discover new moves and connect with like-minded people - when time and motivation are low, that’s when I turn to the best at-home Pilates exercises to get my fix.

The best at-home Pilates exercises will differ from person to person. Some might favour more dynamic exercises. Others might prefer completing standing Pilates exercises only. And others, myself included, may champion a mix of all the above. It's why moves like Pilates roll-downs, toe-taps, rolling like a ball, the Hundred and glute bridges have become a mainstay in my at-home Pilates routine.
