Set aside a few minutes for yourself to prep body and mind to meet the daily challenges of your busy life! In this 2002 Telly Award-winning program with Pilates master Jillian Hessel, you wake up and start your day with the gifts of energy and balance. The 25-minute, low-impact mat workout, designed to be performed first thing in the morning, is divided into three separate sections:
-
Breathing: Start with seated warm-up exercises on a chair to align your body rhythm with your breath.
-
Conditioning: Follow through with a series of mat routines to strengthen abs, buttocks, legs, and "powerhouse" — the back and abdominal muscles forming the vital core of the body's strength and its center of gravity.
- Centering: Conclude with standing exercises to integrate the floorwork into good vertical alignment and healthy posture.
Pilates has been called a "moving meditation" that re-trains body, mind, and spirit to deal with the daily demands of life with fluidity and grace. With regular practice, this sunrise exercise session will help you walk out the door feeling centered, balanced — and empowered to take on the day.
Recommended props: Pilates Bodyband™, Pilates mat, chair, small pillow.
For a balanced set of morning-and-evening exercises (first to energize your day, and then to wind down at night), see the A.M. & P.M. Pilates Mat Workouts DVD with Jillian Hessel and Ana Cabán.
