30-Day Pilates Body Challenge: Day #3
Welcome to day #3 of the 30-Day Pilates Body Challenge!
How are feeling so far?
We’re just getting started and it’s only going to get better from here. I have a lot of great things in store for you, so don’t stop now. 🙂
Ever feel like your booty needs a little lift?
Me too.
Today’s routine is all about building strength on the backside of the body. But don’t be fooled, booty work isn’t just about looking good in jeans. A weak booty can cause a host of issues that are seemingly unrelated. For example, under-developed gluteal muscles (due to inactivity) and back pain often go hand-in-hand.
Enjoy today’s workout and the feeling of knowing that you’re doing something to improve your strength, posture and health today!
Looking good in our jeans will be a nice bonus. 🙂
Daily Check-In: Today I want you to set ONE goal for the next 30 days. It may be as simple as “complete 30 days of Pilates workouts” or it may be related to something else in your life. Take a moment to set a goal. Write it down, snap a photo and share it with me on social media. Use the hashtag #30daypilatesbody so we can cheer you on!

Woohoo! Done for today. That felt so good?
I know some workouts are a bit more difficult, but the way you speak to us, your dedication, your fun personality, everything about you just motivates me to keep going.
Thank you ?
Ladies, we got this!!!?
I loved this one ! 😀
So nice! Thanks a lot 😀
Done. Thanks Robin…..
Great workout Robin!!! I also have my mats doubled (Pilates & yoga) for added cushioning due to hardwood floors. Works great!!! My tush is feeling the burn. This evening I’ll repeat the three workouts together for my 30 minute exercise♥‼

Thank you so much for doing this challenge, Robin! I joined this morning and was able to catch up by doing all the workouts and really enjoyed them! I can’t wait for each new day’s workout! 🙂
Hi Robin, so far so good, THANK YOU for a full 30 days! I’m hoping I can keep with the momentum 🙂
Q: I’m working to repair what is now only a moderate diastasis. Any tips for making sure I don’t ruin all my hard work on this? And my apologies if you’ve recently addressed this! Thanks 🙂
Hi Leslie!

Hi Robin,
My daughter, Danielle, asked me to take the challenge with her. She is always encouraging me to do things like this! I am 54 years old and working on increasing my fitness level. Thank you for encouraging others by doing having this challenge! I have to modify a bit but I will do each challenge!

Loved this! Especially the stretch at the end 🙂
A little bummed that this workout was so short. I didn’t even break a sweat!
Hi Michelle – the point of this challenge is to do short workouts every day. You’re welcome to double up if you desire longer workouts! 🙂
Accomplished Day 3 !
Hi there!
Just getting started on day 3. But Im wondering if you have the youtube video set to private? I don’t see it on your channel or my subscription videos.
Its easier for me to log in to my youtube on my tv and watch that way.
Just making sure that will still be an option in the future?
Thanks for this awesome 30 day challenge btw! Loving it!
We forgot to switch it to public this morning! It should be available now. Thanks for letting us know. 🙂
Ouch! ? These sweet little 10 minute workouts are HARD…..but I love them. ?
Great workout…hope to improve on this one, wow! Thank you!!
I love how it is quick and yet not easy. I still feel the burn just enough to know I’m doing something good for my body!
I am really enjoying these workouts!!! I have taken private Pilates lessons for the past year.. Your instruction is excellent!!
Day 3 done. This was great I love it. Thank you Robin – it’s a great way to start the day.
My goal – finish the. 30 days and have fun!! ??
My booty is burnin’! Day 3 done ?
Day #3 completed! Thank you!
3 of 3. Thanks, Robin
Is there any modification for this one, I had some neck pain afterwards, unless I just put to much pressure on me neck?
Liking this program so far though
Day 3 complete! Definitely felt the burn and I’m still feeling it from yesterdays workout! The stretch at the end felt amazing!! Thanks so much!!
Done! Great stretch at the end!
Day 3 done- that one was hard!
Hi robin,
Love the challenge but struggled with this one as I am so overweight. Lifting my legs almost impossible can I modify with just repeating the first Couple moves?
Absolutely you can! Just work with where you’re at. Remember, we all start somewhere. And don’t compare yourself to me – I’ve been doing this a long time! Start there and just stick with it. Trust me, it WILL pay off. 🙂
Did it and I am still able to walk!
This was fun, and done!
I feel gone, Day 3 – DONE!
I mean, I feel good* Thank you auto correct!
Another great pilates series! Have been enoying the workouts for this 56 yr young body.
This is awesome…Ty for sharing with all of us..
I do not have an Instagram, do I need to have one?
No, you don’t. It’s just an option for those who enjoy it! 🙂
Day 3 done great workout Thanks..
Day 3 done feeling good
I am loving these 10 minute workouts, Robin! Thank you, as always, for great content!
That was great. May do it again tomorrow
Day 3 Done! Plus17 min PIYO w/slides, & 10 more minutes Pilates roll ups , roll overs and leg circles
Day 3 complete. Thanks !
Day 3 done
Thanks Robin all the way from Sydney Australia.
These workouts are great as an addition to my walking and short period of weight training. I’ve just turned 68 and need to keep flexible and Pilates with you seems to be the answer!
Feel the booty burn! Thanks for doing this challenge! 🙂
Day 3 complete! Thank you for a great one!
Day 3 done. My goal is to complete the 30 day challenge. I love it so far. My biggest concern is finishing since I will have to finish the challenge while on vacation.
This one seemed much easier than the last 2…maybe I was doing it wrong…either way, I love this program. Thanks for the 30 day challenge.
That kicked my bootie!!! Hurt so good.
Thank you, I’m done and it was great 🙂
My hip was popping at the leg lifts. I modified. Any ideas?
I totally forgot to come back on here last night to say I completed day 3. My back hurt a little when we had to keep our feet and legs together??
Help…I did not receive an email for day 4. I am enjoying the workouts and missed not having a new one this morning, was it sent?
Hi Janet!
All of the workouts can be found on the blog. Sometimes my emails get stuck in spam filters.

Enjoy!
Thank you — I’m enjoying the 10 min daily Pilates…it is over before I know it.
Day 3 – felt good to stretch at the end. =)
Thanks, Robin! Love the butt workout! Stretch at the end is so effective! You make fitness fun!
Awesome mini-workout. This challenge has been great while I am writing report cards for this term. After I write report cards for one subject I take a water break and then pop over to the next day’s challenge. I feel so much better after slumping over the computer for so long! Thank you Robin 🙂
Done
Done, playing catch up
Day 3!!
Robin, thank you for these workouts! They’re perfect for me as I return to working out after a LONG time off. I’m surprised how sore I am after just three days.
Loving these workouts!
