28 Days of Pilates: day #12 + giveaway winner!
As you can probably tell, the workouts are picking up in intensity this week. You’re all getting stronger by the day so I’m increasing the difficulty level to keep you on your toes.
Don’t be discouraged if the workouts still feel hard – I’m making designing them that way on purpose so that you can continue to challenge your strength and endurance.
When this challenge is complete you are going to LOVE the way you feel.
Okay, without further ado, we have a giveaway winner to announce!
You all shared amazing photos and beautiful inspiration throughout the week. There is no way I could select a winner on my own so I relied on random.org to select the lucky lady.
Congratulations Jennifer! To claim your prizes send me an email: robin (at) the balancedlifeonline.com.
I can’t wait to work with you one-on-one next month! 🙂
If you didn’t win, hang in there. I will be hosting more exciting giveaways in the weeks to come! The next one will be announced on Saturday (there are still 2 more scholarship spots to fill).
Let’s workout…
Today we’re working those beautiful legs of yours!
I’m still working from home but hope to be back in the studio tomorrow. Baby comes first. Thanks for your understanding and support! She is feeling much better today. 🙂
Today’s Check-In: Let’s hydrate! Snap a photo to show me how you’re staying hydrated today. Be sure to use the hashtag #28daysofpilates.

Today’s video = AWESOME work for the inner thighs, outer thighs, and obliques.

Glad you liked it Liz! There is more coming your way tomorrow! 🙂
Whop whoop! Congrats, Jereca74! You’re going to love the Pilates Body Program 🙂
Robin- this month has been SO FUN! My friends all want to road trip to Colorado and bring you back to Chicago…hahaha!
Keep up the good work, ladies! I’ve been participating via Instagram, and it has been so encouraging seeing real women…and men…being real about fitness and nutrition. It’s feels encouraging, validating, and inspiring 🙂 LOVE IT!
Blessing,
Brandi
Love your enthusiasm Brandi! You’re the best 🙂 xoxo
That last post should have said ladies AND gents 😉 Sorry fellas! Lol
This felt great, I like the gradual increase in intensity. Thanks Robin!
Colleen Blackall
You’re welcome! Great job 🙂
Wow!! This was tough! But I did it, hooray for me! And Hooray for all you other ladies and gents too! These are getting tougher by the day!!!

I know you will be able to hang in there and learn so many lesson to fuel your body, mind and soul! Enjoy!!!! Today was hard but I feel great! See you on the mat tomorrow (or I guess I should say rug). Girl Power! ♥ to all the ladies on this 28 days of Pilates journey!
Yay!! Thanks So much!!! I can’t wait!!
Did this one straight after doing the glutes workout that I had missed. Ooh, that was a challenge!
Oooh, yes, burn baby burn 🙂
Such a great workout!
Thanks Sky!
The greatest thing about this workout is that even though its hard, YOU make it worth it, Robin! Thanks for the encouragement…. I can’t be angry at the hurt when it’s brought on by such an awesome cheerleader 🙂
Aw, thanks India! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
Another great workout! I squeezed in this workout before the day ended. 🙂 Looking forward to tomorrow’s workout.
Great job Kim!
I am love, love, loving this! This is the sort of routine I can manage 🙂
Robin, are there any Pilates DVDs you would recommend? I travel often for work, usually to places with spotty internet, so streaming routines isn’t a great option (I’m actually leaving for five weeks the last week of this month!)
Hi Betsie! So glad you’re enjoying the program 🙂 The next program I will be launching on March 15th includes 6 full length workouts that you download and save to your computer (so no streaming required). But if you are looking for something prior to that I’d check out the Pilates DVD’s on Gaiam.com. Ana Caban is great and so is Mari Winsor.
Wow this one was really tough! There were a few moments when I thought I wasn’t going to make it 🙂 Thanks for another awesome workout, Robin!!
You’re welcome! 🙂
