Basic Pilates Mat Workout

[@auntbarbara5696]

What a good, basic short workout--I like the way you keep emphasizing that there only needs to be a small range of motion to be effective--a great beginner workout.

One of the wonders of Pilates is how the controlled, economic range of movement works our bodies so hard. Nice cadillac, Brooke.

[@shannongood8598]

Glad there is no music! Great, simple instruction. Clear and easy to understand. Music on videos interferes with my ability to hear the instruction, so I appreciate not having it.

[@shannongood8598]

I too, appreciate breathing instruction though.

[@mrbales42]

Yes it was awesome, but I wish you had touched more on the breathing technique. When I do my basic mat it helps to have someone reminding you to breath. Otherwise thanks!

breath is essential in pilates! you weren't breathing at all. very poor video for beginners pilates video. You don't even explain what is do be in neutral spine, how do stabilize your pelvis... Inhale through the nose and long exhale trough the mouth, you should be talking that through the video. Also many moments you aren't engaging your abdominal muscles properly. Also using imagery can really help as well.
