Mia, 22, Sweden. Trying to live a healthier and happier life.
In the same vein (but healthier!) as diet plans that mix up your caloric goals, here’s a 7-day plan that gets harder as it goes along. Start on Day One, follow the plan for a week, then repeat. Yes, it’ll seem ridiculously easy going from Day Seven back to Day One, but this will keep your body challenged and will give you a bit of a break every time you restart. Feel free to make this an eight-day plan and add in a rest day on Day Eight.
POP Pilates for Beginners! I did a full length video that truly explains the principles behind some very basic Pilates exercises. If you’ve tried my set of POP Pilates workouts already out there, you may have felt like a lot of the moves were very advanced. Well, they are advanced. Don’t be intimidated. You’ll get there one day, start with this beginner’s video first.
You’ll learn about breathing, control, and proper form. Good workout for those of you who have never done Pilates before and good knowledge for you guys who have been with me for a WHILE now.
I really didn’t think it would be this long, but I guess with all of the explaining it just had to be! I hope you enjoy!

Place toes on wall, with knees bent & directly above hip & raise butt off floor. Maintain hip lift as you draw left knee toward chest & open right arm to side.
