The Pilates bar has become one of my favourite additions to my Pilates workout. It is easy to use, low cost, and very portable. I have been experimenting with it a lot and have started introducing it into my classes. I know a lot of people get these bars and then struggle knowing what to do with them, so here are some full-length workouts I have created to get you started.
Pilates Bar Full Body Workout
A full body workout with a twist — we add the Pilates bar to provide extra challenge and resistance.
Pilates Bar Balance Workout
After filming this workout I could feel my core, glutes, triceps, biceps and shoulders had all been fired up. I loved using the Pilates bar to add challenge, fun and variety to standing exercises.
Pilates Bar Core Workout
For this workout, grab your Pilates ball, or a cushion if you do not have a ball. I designed this workout to challenge core strength and fire up the glutes.
Pilates Bar Standing Workout
I loved filming this workout. Even though it is short, I could feel the work in my muscles and the challenge of connecting mind, body and breath while working on balance.
Lower Body Pilates Bar Workout
Your upper body and core will also play a huge part in this workout as we aim to stabilise and isolate the movement to the hips and glutes.
