Description

Pressed for time but still want to feel strong, centered, and mobile? This Express Pilates course delivers short, effective workouts designed for busy lives. Whether you have 10, 15, or 20 minutes, each session helps you build core strength, improve flexibility, and release tension—without needing a full hour or fancy equipment.

Perfect for mornings, lunch breaks, or winding down at night, these bite-sized routines blend classical Pilates principles with modern flow. You’ll target posture, alignment, and breath while boosting energy and reducing stress. Ideal for beginners and seasoned movers alike, this course fits seamlessly into your schedule and supports consistent movement.  Join from anywhere, anytime. No more skipping workouts—just press play and feel better fast.

One of the biggest challenges to maintaining a regular exercise routine is time.  Although we may have time to go to class a couple of times a week or fit in a game of tennis, run or swim, the most effective way to maintain our health is to try to exercise on a regular basis, preferably a little bit of something everyday.

This course is the answer: in as little as 10 minutes a day, you can practice Pilates daily and enjoy all the benefits this amazing form of exercise provides.

Pilates is the ideal way to build a strong, flexible, mobile and toned body and is suitable for everyone at any age.  Perfect to improve posture, core strength and for preventing or recovering from injuries.  It is a great exercise choice, whether used alone or in conjunction with other fitness trainings. 

Included in the course:-

  • 17 classes, almost 4 hours of video in total.

  • Classes between 10 minutes and 22 minutes long.  Can be used on their own for maintenance or can be joined together when you have more time in lots of different combinations.

  • 3 modules: Toned in Ten - 6 x 10 minutes classes giving a balanced mini workout.  All the Pilates mat exercises are iincluded in these 6 classes. Express Yourself - 7 x 10 to 20 minute classes, each with a unique theme.  Spotlight - 4 short workouts to target specific areas (Hips & Thighs, Abdominals, Upper Body, Flexibility & Mobility)

  • A Guide to Pilates manual.

Ideally, you should have a knowledge of Pilates as the exercises are intermediate/advanced level.  If you have never done Pilates before, "Learn Pilates: Beginner to Advanced" would be a good place to start.  For those who need a refresher, the Pilates Guide will provide a reminder of neutral position before working slowly through "Toned in Ten" until you can perform the exercises efficiently. 

Not suitable for anyone with back problems or injuries.

Who this course is for:

  • Ideal for those who already have Pilates experience but need short workouts for busy days
  • Anyone who wants to improve posture, prevent back problems and injuries and get into great shape
