This is a 25 Min Full Body Hourglass Pilates workout. It can be done with no equipment, or use weights- either ankle weights or dumbbells, to increase the challenge. This workout focuses on upper body- specifically the shoulders and back, lower body- glutes, and core work. I have seen many pilates hourglass abs workouts on YouTube, and to me, this is not the most effective way to train for a more hourglass shape than what you currently have. While we cannot change our genetic shape, we can train in a way that influences where muscle grows, and this can have an effect on the symmetry of the way we look. This is something I learned many years ago during my time in the bodybuilding world, and I really appreciated the shift from exercising to lose and shrink a certain area to building and growing a shape we love. If you repeat this workout, do your best to add more weight as the workout gets easier. For this workout, we combine upper and lower body in many of the exercises, but I also encourage you to train upper and lower body on separate days. I hope this workout gives you a better idea of how to train for a more hourglass shape if that is a goal of yours. And if not- enjoy the variety of exercises and fun mix of pilates and strength!
I hope you enjoy this workout!

Day 2 of 30 day hard challenge is completed 🙂. My core is on 🔥. Also, I completed my 30 min outdoor activity. I ran 1 1/2 miles for 50 mins with my 4 children at an outdoor track. I loved it and they had a blast. My diet is going great. My fitness pal helps me stay on track within my calories range. Thanks again Rachel for a great core etc workout today. See you all Wednesday 🙂

Day 2 of 30 day hard ✅ - no rain today so first little run (been a while) 2.5k run and 1.5k brisk walk home with my other half. Feeling great 😊 Never in my 56 years on this planet have I looked forward to exercising each day, previously it’s always been a chore. So glad I found you Rachel these past three months have been great ❤
