The Pretzel (ballet)

Pilates Rollup

The Frog (pilates exercise on your back)

Pilates Mermaid

All Pilates Back Exercises

Pilates Leg Series

Bridge work (pilates, yoga and all types)

Shoulder Stand (yoga)

Pelvic Floor Exercises



Exercises that don't work for me...

Circuit training (never enough cardio for me, my 5'3 frame bulks)

Hiit using bodyweight and/or weights...again I bulk I need actual fast paced aerobic activity for that short time

The pilates 100 (bulks me up)

The pilates teaser (bulks me and KILLS my back)
