Day #7 + a GIVEAWAY!
What did you think of yesterday’s ab workout? Challenging huh? Don’t worry. It will get easier as you get stronger. All you have to do is keep moving forward. Little by little, day by day. If there’s one thing I know for sure…Pilates works.
Before we dive in to today’s workout it’s my pleasure to announce our second giveaway! My incredibly generous friends at Athleta have offered ANOTHER $150.00 gift card to one lucky Balanced Life Beauty!
And to sweeten the deal I’m throwing in a FULL SCHOLARSHIP to The Pilates Body Program that kicks off on June 15th. It will be a perfect way to continue your Pilates training and take it one step further with healthy eating, community support and one on one coaching from yours truly.
The Pilates Body Program is my flagship 6 week online Pilates + nutrition program.
It includes:
- 6 weeks of full-length Pilates videos (yours to keep forever)
- a nourishing 6 week meal plan
- unlimited email coaching and interaction
- access to a private Facebook group to support you on your journey
“Finding time to workout while maintaining a full time job, and caring for a home, social life, and marriage is really hard. Robin’s 40-minute sculpting workouts made it so MANAGEABLE (one of my favorite words during the program). Also, the workouts were no joke — despite the length, every one packed a lot of power. I loved that. I also began to LOOK FORWARD to working out because I found Robin’s demeanor to be very life giving and nurturing.
It’s difficult to put into words how uplifting the program was to me. My husband started noticing Week 1 that I was smiling more. I also noticed that I was pulling out old clothes that I hadn’t worn in months (or years!). I felt like I gained a new wardrobe without spending more money.
The PBP is well worth the investment. The program is complete and I’m still doing the workouts. Robin is a gem. Being given the opportunity to be under her watch and care was a gift. I need the extra push mixed with gentle reminders to exercise grace.” -Christina B.

Let’s workout…
Today we’re sculpting long, lean legs with a special focus on the inner thighs. Can I get an amen? 🙂
Remember to focus on lengthening your body throughout the entire series. Draw your waist in, lengthen the neck and breathe, no matter what body part you’re focusing on. Pilates should always be complete coordination of body and mind.
Enjoy!

Really felt this workout in my inner thighs, obliques, and hips/hip flexors; awesome! Today’s workout is among my favorite so far in the series.
Happy Tuesday!
Yes, the obliques got good work today too didn’t they? It’s really all full body when you’re doing it right isn’t it? 🙂
Definitely! 🙂

I enjoyed today’s exercises outside!
You’re doing great Cara! keep it up!
I love all these workouts so much! It’s the perfect way to wind down after a long day away from home. Now if only summer could come for certain to Norway, I’d try doing it in my garden. 😀
Also, today’s workout was especially good. My legs were shaking! <3
