This express Pilates routine only takes 12 minutes but it will wake up your entire body

A woman in a vest and shorts performs a glute bridge in a bedroom. Her back is towards the floor, but the only points of contact she has with the ground are her shoulders, elongated arms and tip toes; the rest of her body is in a straight line, elevated off the floor. She is smiling at the ceiling and behind her we see a floor bed with white linen.

If you love the idea of morning exercise but feel overwhelmed at the thought of working up a sweat before breakfast, then we have good news. Morning exercise doesn't have to be arduous. You can squeeze some energizing movement into your day in just 12 minutes.

"I’ve designed this morning Pilates routine to help you walk into a new day feeling strong, balanced, and uplifted," says Lottie Anderson Founder of Bondi Rise.
