Functional Resistance Band Circuits Class (43 Mins)

Functional Resistance Band Circuits Workout Class (43 Mins) - This workout is broken up into three circuits using a resistance band loop. Total body workout with warm up and cool down included. Free video is up for all on YouTube! #resistanceband #bandworkout #circuitworkout

This functional resistance band circuits workout is broken up into three sections. There is minimal jumping, and if you want to keep the entire class low-impact, I’ll be showing modifications on the screen in the below video.

I have a few more Functional Circuits classes available for free on the site and channel:

And if you want access to lots more, you can become a Patreon member!

Functional Resistance Band Circuits Class

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

  • Resistance band loop – I’m using a light band for the first circuit and a medium band for the second and third circuits.

In this class, we start with a guided warm up, focusing on mobility and dynamic movement/light cardio. We then move onto our functional circuit work. In each of the three circuits, you’ll preform four exercises, back to back, for 30 seconds each. You then rest 30 seconds before repeating. So that’s 2 mins of work, 30 sec rest.

In Circuits 1 & 2, we’ll do some unilateral work so we’ll complete 4 sets of the circuits, alternating right and left. In Circuit 3, we’ll complete 3 sets.

Between circuits, you get about a minute to recover, but pause the video and take more time if needed. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.

We finish class with a guided cool down and stretch.

There is minimal jumping throughout class and low-impact modifications will be shown on the screen if you want to keep the entire workout low impact.

Pilates Slide Class (55 Mins) – Mat & Slider Work

December 7, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Pilates Slide Class (55 Mins) - Bodyweight Mat Work & Slider Work - This 55-minute total body Pilates Slide class is a mix between a home megaformer class and a Pilates mat class. We'll focus on one muscle group at a time, flowing from one sequence to the next. Free workout video available on YouTube! #pilates #pilatesslide #homeworkout #sliderworkout

I’m so excited for you all to try this Pilates Slide class!!! It’s a combination of my years of experience teaching group megaformer classes and my Pilates mat training. I’ve wanted to put together classes like this for a while, and have been (im)patiently waiting to complete my Mat course before doing so.

If you enjoyed the Sculpt & Slide class I shared in the spring, you’ll love this. It’s similar but without the light weights, and a little more of a Pilates feel. Also I will have Pilates Slide classes that incorporate light hand weights, resistance bands, and other props in the future. I wanted to start with a towel/slider-only class though so that everyone can try it, regardless of access to equipment.

Pilates Slide Class – Towel/Slider Only

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

  • Towel/slider – paper plates work on carpet, but I would still have a dish towel on hand for knee padding

Pilates Slide classes mix Mat Pilates work with sliding sequences inspired by the megaformer. Class is a continuous flow, but we’ll generally focus on one muscle group as a time as we move from sequence to sequence.

Roadmap of class:

  • Warm Up
  • Core mat work
  • Sliding plank/upper body work
  • Standing sliding lunge work
  • Side body (outer hips/obliques) mat work
  • Repeat on other side
  • Prone work
  • Cool down
