Pilates Mat Workout Routines You Can Do at Home

 

I recently joined forces with Super Sister Fitness to bring you 2 mat workouts you can do at home. They're each 20-minutes long and do not require any special props. All you need to do is hit play and enjoy these full-body routines. 

"Great 20 min workout with slow build up to more challenging exercises and detailed explanation which make you feel your muscles working with control. Thank you, Mara!"  ~ Theres
