Pilates at home without equipment: explore preparation, suitable exercises and guidance at bbb. Learn the basics during a free trial.
Pilates at home without equipment
Mat Pilates does not always require specialist equipment. You use your body weight, among other things, to practise movement and trunk control. A comfortable mat and sufficient movement space can be a good starting point. Suitable exercises depend on experience, goals and physical complaints.
Make room to move comfortably
Choose a stable surface and leave room for your arms and legs. Remove obstacles and make sure the mat does not slip. Comfortable clothing, ventilation and water within reach help with preparation. The exact space needed depends on your height and exercise selection.
Start with suitable variations
Begin with simple movements you already know or have learnt with guidance. Comfortable breathing, a small pelvic movement or adapted arm and leg movements may be examples. An advanced exercise in a video is not automatically suitable for beginners. Pause if you feel pain or become unwell.
Combine home practice with guidance
A trial at bbb lets you discuss technique, goals and symptoms. Your coach helps you learn suitable exercises and choose a manageable routine. Ask your boutique about current online options if you also want to exercise at home. Body, food & mind considers training, food and recovery.
