Pilates is one of the most underrated ways to work out. People who haven’t tried it generally think it’s easy, but once they hit the mat, they’re in for a surprise. That all-over burn is serious business, and you don’t just feel it in the moment—you also feel it the next day when every muscle in your body is sore.
Aside from the toning benefits, another major perk of Pilates is that you can do it anywhere. All you need is a mat—or even some cushiony carpet—and you’re good to go. These at-home Pilates workout options will take you though a series of exercises that target different areas, allowing you to pick exactly which type of sweat sesh you want to do based on your workout goals. Or, you can play them one by one to give you a full class. (Because TBH, in true Pilates fashion, you’ll feel it all over.)
Whichever you choose, get ready, because your entire body is about to burn in 3, 2, 1…
