In this article, we will tell you the exercises you can do anywhere.

Pilates is the perfect in-between when you want a full-body workout along with the

mental benefits that come from focus and concentration. But if your schedule is

hectic and gym memberships pricey, it’s not always easy to make it to a class.

1. The Plank

In a push-up position, align your shoulders over your wrists and your heels over

your toes, while pulling your abdominals in and squeezing your butt—so you feel

one long line of energy from your heels to the top of your head. Lean slightly

forward with every breath, launching the floor away underneath you. Hold for 10

seconds.

2. The Hundred

Lie on your back with your legs together and bring them to a 90-degree angle, your

feet pointing to the ceiling. Raise your shoulders off the ground slightly, like you

would in a crunch. Keep your arms by your sides and begin to pump them up and

down, with five pumps for every inhale and five for every exhale. For a challenge,

lower your legs slightly to engage your core more. From there, hold this position

while slowly beating your heels together for 10 seconds.

3. Criss Cross

Lie on your back, bringing your legs into a tabletop position and your arms behind

your head like you would for a crunch. Raise your shoulders off the ground

slightly, while twisting your right elbow to your left knee and bringing your left

leg to a 45-degree angle. Relax your head back to the ground, and repeat the

motion on your left: bring your left elbow to your right knee. Continue to switch

back and forth.

4. Scissor

Lie on your back with your head, neck, and shoulders raised slightly off of the

ground. Straighten your legs and bring them to a 90-degree angle, toes pointed

toward the ceiling. From there, lower one leg at a time, alternating between your

right and left leg. As you lower, gently grab the leg closest to your body for

support. Repeat.

5. Side Leg Series

Start by lying on your left side, bending your left knee and keeping your right leg

long. Engage your abdominals while you lift and lower your right leg. Repeat 10

times.

Begin to draw little circles with your right leg in a counterclockwise motion.

Repeat 10 times, then reverse directions and repeat 10 times.

To finish the side leg series on the left, make an arch with your leg, tapping your

foot in front than behind you. Repeat 10 times. Once you are finished on the left

side, complete the entire side leg series on your right.
