Mini Pilates Flow Core Finisher

Mini Pilates Flow Core Finisher (15 Min Class) - This quick core workout focuses on obliques. Perfect if you're short on time or to add on as a workout finisher. #coreworkout #pilatescore #workoutvideo

This mini Pilates flow core finisher is great if you’re short on time or are looking for a bit of core work to round out a longer workout. Focus is on obliques.

This is a short version of the Mini Flows classes I’ve shared in the past:

Mini Pilates Flow Core Finisher

In this class, we start with a quick warm up that moves right onto our mini flows workout. The best way to describe this structure is to picture a Pilates mat class. We essentially take a small sequence out of that class and turn it into a circuit.

The mini flow is a short sequence (2:45 minutes long). You’ll do it twice on the right then twice on the left. You rest for 15 seconds in between completed sequences and 30 seconds between sides.

Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. We finish class with a (very quick) guided cool down.

Bodyweight Posture Workout – Upper Body/Core

Bodyweight Posture Workout - Upper Body & Core - This Pilates-inspired workout flow focuses on strengthening the upper back, opening up through the chest, and shoulder stability. #bodyweightworkout #upperbodyworkout

This month on Patreon, I shared a Posture Workshop with a 30-min discussion and 45-minute class putting what we learn into action. Think of this quick bodyweight posture workout as a little preview of that. If posture is a topic you’d like to learn more about, check out the workshop on Patreon!

Bodyweight Posture Workout: Upper Body/Core

In this quick upper body and core flow, we’ll focus on posture: opening through the chest, strengthening the upper back/spinal erectors, and mobility/stability of the shoulders. No equipment needed. It’s a great workout to counter the hunching we tend to do working at a desk for extended periods of time.

We’ll start class with some breathing and thoracic mobility. We then move into some side plank work for shoulder stability and core strength. Next we complete a prone series to strengthen the spinal extensors. We finish by putting it together with a push-up-to-prone series. Class concludes with some stretching.

Mobility + Core (26 Min Class)

Mobility + Core (26 Min Class) - We'll focus on mobilizing the body and activating the core during this 26-min class. #mobility #stretching #nicolepearce

I have a 26-minute mobility flow for you today that feels oh-so-good. Featuring lots of spinal rotation (selfishly, that’s what my body was asking for when I filmed this 😉), we’ll mobilize the joints and weave in some core work throughout the class.

If you enjoy this video, I have another Mobility + Core flow available on Patreon. For $9.99/month, you get access to additional classes and a monthly workout calendar. It’s 7-9 *new* classes per month, with unlimited access to the library of past months’ workouts. I appreciate your support!

Mobility + Core Flow

This 26-minute mobility routine is focused on mobilizing the joints and activating the abdominals. The core work is woven in throughout and it isn’t too intense—just as you feel that heat building, we’ll go back to the feel-good mobility work.

Lots of spinal rotation in this one! For the most part, we continuously move through the flow, but we will hold some static stretches toward the end.

I love this type of movement always, but especially on days when I want to take it easy. Maybe I’m a little sore from the previous day’s workout and am just looking for a little feel-good movement. Or maybe I’ve been sitting too long at my computer and need a gentle way to break up the work day.

Hope you enjoy this class as much as I did!
