Description

Looking to get a strong, lean body without spending countless hours doing exercises in the gym? A strong, toned body doesn’t always have to come from lifting weights. You can just as easily get a greatfull body strength workout at home with just your yoga mat and a Pilates routine. Pilates not only tightens and tones your muscles, it also strengthens your body and increases your core flexibility. It involves workouts with precise moves and specific breathing techniques.

The best moves were selected because of the way the moves incorporate your entire body, engage your muscles, and promote good posture and alignment.

This set of Pilates exercises is designed to provide you with an at-home routine and help you build familiarity with Pilates mat exercises, whether you are new or experienced. These exercises develop the core strength, stability, and flexibility for which Pilates is famous.

The muscular focus for each exercise is noted so you can target your routine. Please keep in mind that almost all Pilates exercises engage the core abdominal muscles.

Good but could be a lot better

I like this app, it has a comprehensive set of exercises you can do daily and for free. I’m working my way up through the free levels and then I’m seriously considering purchasing the full content. BUT the exercises are poorly illustrated, unlike other exercise apps I use which show a brief full animation of the exercise on repeat whilst you’re doing it clearly explaining how to do it, this app only shows 2 pictures leaving you to guess for some exercises what to do. I often find myself googling videos to get the full instructions often finding I had been doing it wrong. It’s also potentially dangerous if amateurs are left to guess how to do it properly. This is what really lets the app down and I hope they add animations soon. They do have a separate section explaining the exercises in writing, but they are often too brief and don’t explain the full technique.

Good but limited

This app would be a 5/5 if it weren’t for two things. Firstly the app is very limited and only has around 4 free workouts, the rest are hidden behind a paywall. Except this leads onto my second big complaint, it tries to trick you into buying its premium to unlock more workouts. Nowhere in the app does it clearly say that the programs cost you and you can’t access them without paying. So when you click on the programs it brings up a thing to pay £2 to use them, however if you have your thumb down on the home button anyway you may accidentally pay for it! The developers will know this and they should make it clearer that these programs cost money and stop trying to trick people.

Coaches whistle

Big fan of this app, but that noise of the whistle and “go go go” is just making it hard to enjoy, creates a bit of a stressful environment, surely it could be changed to something less “boot campish?”
