Element: Pilates Weight Loss For Beginners

It starts with Pilates-inspired standing moves and ends with traditional Pilates matwork. Brooke Siler's cuing is exceptionally detailed; she emphasizes the tiny subtleties that make Pilates unique (breath, mindfulness, core focus). The result is a lean, firm, flexible body.

The standing segment warms your muscles and gets the blood flowing. It integrates Pilates-style muscle control into familiar toning moves like lunges and squats. The matwork section is pure Pilates — classics like “the hundred,” “teaser” and “roll-up.” It's all filmed in a beautiful outdoor setting — an oceanside garden edged with flowers.

Pilates can transform your body in a way no gym equipment can match. Filmed on a breathtaking location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this dynamic beginner’s workout is designed to maximize calorie burn while teaching you the basics of Pilates. With a combination of Pilates- conscious cardio and mat Pilates, this sequence uses the principles of control, concentration, precision, center breath, and fluidity to help you sculpt a new shape. The gentle, low impact exercises will strengthen and tone your whole body to develop a slimmer, leaner bodyline.
