Pilates Summer Series: Day #2 + a GIVEAWAY!
One day down and many more to go. 🙂
To help you start strong and stay motivated this week I figured why not announce the first big giveaway?
We’ll kick off each new week with a great big giveaway bundle because I LOVE to spoil you for completing your workouts.
I have ‘Summer Fitness’, ‘Summer Beauty’ and ‘Summer Foodie’ bundles all compiled and ready to ship out and I can’t wait to share them with you.
We’re kicking things off today with the ‘Summer Fitness’ bundle and it’s a good one. 🙂
The Summer Fitness bundle includes:
1. A $100 gift card to Athleta!
2. An Affirmats yoga/Pilates mat to remind yourself just how wonderful you are.
It’s simple, life gets crazy and exercise makes us happy. Not only are these mats comfortable and stylish, but gives each of us a little affirmation to get us going through the day.
3. Hand weights to sculpt & strengthen your upper body for summer tanks & sundresses.
2 lb weights are the perfect addition to your Pilates arm workouts. Just enough give you extra strength and an extra burn with out adding bulk or muscle strain. (More Pilates weights workouts coming your way soon too!)
4. A S’well water bottle to hydrate in style.
The S’well company aimed to create a beautifully crafted bottle that keeps drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12, while also giving back to those in need. At S’well, they understand it’s important to be part of the solution, which is why they partner with many charity partners: they are working towards bettering our environment and communities around the world, one S’well bottle at a time.
5. A full scholarship to Pilates 4×4 – Summer Edition!
My next online program will be kicking of next month and you will LOVE it. It’s 4 weeks long, full of fun 30-40 minute Pilates workouts and all online. If you participated in Pilates 4×4 last December, this will be similar but with fresh new videos and a fun summer twist. 🙂

So happy my friend told me about this awesome little series! We have a little group of us on FB checking in everyday on Messenger totally having fun and pushing ourselves beyond what we thought we could do in a 30-day plank challenge. Excited to keep this fitness momentum going by adding in this summer series! #PilatesSummerSeries

Thank you for these awesome series. I’m currently working on my Pilates instructor certificate through Balanced Body and I really enjoy supplementing my education and workouts with your tutorials. #PilatesSummerSeries
I am so glad I found these workouts! Trying to get back in shape after a series of back injuries and these videos are great. Thank you!

I love this series, thanks so much for offering it! My gym doesn’t have a regular pilates class, so it’s awesome have an online resource. Following you on all social media accounts and retweeted your picture for the giveaway 🙂
I follow on all three and tweeted the giveaway.
I retweeted the pic (@mclanek). As a runner, this leg workout was actually enjoyable. Day 1 & 3 kinda kicked my bootie though!
