The Ultimate 12 Week Pilates Exercise Program
I’ve shared two days of workouts for each week. You can perform them alternatively if you train more than twice a week.
It will take 30 minutes to complete one session, and each session will start with warm-up exercises followed by floor-based Pilates training.
You can adjust the session depending on your fitness level. You can see the chart below, for instance.
Session duration and rounds to perform:
Fitness Level
Number of Rounds
Duration
Beginner
One to Two
10-20 minutes
Intermediate

20-30 minutes
Advanced

Note: You can make desired changes to this program. For example, you can replace challenging exercises and decrease and increase activity time or reps depending on exercise difficulty.
Warm-up: Perform warm-up exercises for the first few minutes to increase oxygen supply, blow flow, and get your muscles ready.
