Hi Beauties!

In today’s 15-minute Pilates routine, you’ll strengthen and sculpt the muscles of your core to tone and shape your waistline.

You’ll work the muscles of your core with a special focus on the obliques (ab muscles that run along the side of your waist) to create a strong, sleek and balanced body.

Your Mindfulness Assignment for today is pretty straight-forward, but be sure to watch the video as I’ll go into more detail at the end of today’s workout.

Keep up the great work! You’re getting stronger and healthier by the day!

Hi beauties!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but can also be the busiest!

It can be easy to put our health + fitness goals on the back burner with all the fun events, gift shopping, and prepping for the holidays. Thankfully, we know we only need ten minutes for a good workout + to remain consistent during a busy season.

To help you stay consistent and make time for yourself this holiday season, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite workouts from The Balanced Life Youtube Channel. Each of these workouts are quick + efficient, but will leave you feeling energized and ready to take on your day!

And if you’re feeling under the weather or need something relaxing today, check out the below workouts…

I hope these workouts help you stay consistent this holiday season!

How do you make time for yourself during a busy season? I’d love to hear in the comments!

xo,

Hi Beauties!

After 4 days of hard work, today’s 15-minute Pilates routine is designed to help you stretch & relax.

Doesn’t that sound delightful?

I’ll lead you through tension-busting stretches and simple exercises to improve flexibility, release stress, and increase blood flow.

You’ll end this workout feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the day!

Today’s mindfulness assignment is one of my favorites!

Keep up the great work!
