Pilates mat exercises are an easy, equipment-free way to tighten the core, firm your glutes and learn functional balance techniques. Developed in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates, these core classes are now offered in studios and gyms across the globe. However, if you lack the time or budget to invest in a studio membership, practice Pilates from home with Ultimate Pilates Workouts.
What Are Pilates Mat Exercises?
Pilates newbies will find that the mat exercise discipline promotes whole body fitness, postural benefits and an enhanced mind-body connection. By progressing through a series of fluid, core-based movements, participants focus on six basic Pilates principles. These are:
• Centering
• Concentration
• Control
• Precision
• Breath
• Flow

Coined "contrology" by Joseph Pilates, the mat series is a basic way of increasing strength, reducing muscle bulk, engaging small stabilizer muscles, increasing range of motion and improving energy levels. Everyone can benefit from mat exercises, regardless of age, fitness level or workout experience. Pilates is an adaptable discipline, so all mat training can be adjusted to fit the individual's strength and endurance.
Ultimate Pilates Workouts includes a variety of free and subscription-based video downloads, podcasts and customized routines, and the workouts can be played on your MP3 player, laptop or TV. In addition to mat exercises, foam roller workouts and ball routines, Pilates enthusiasts will find a variety of Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrel videos.
