28 Days of Pilates: Day #3 + meal ideas
Happy Monday!
I hope you’re ready to take on a new week.
I know you’ll be busy so take a little time to strategize how you’ll fit your workouts in each day. Just a little bit of thought and planning can make your week much less-stressful and much more successful.
Most of you know by now that I’m an avid meal planner and I encourage my clients to do the same. It’s the best way to ensure that you’ll eat well throughout the week.
In case you’re looking for a bit of inspiration here’s what I’ll be cooking this week:
Monday: Salmon with Sriracha and Lime + brown rice + broccoli
Tuesday: Mexican Quinoa & Black Bean Bowls
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Herb Balsamic Pork Roast + roasted potatoes + brussel sprouts
Thursday: Blackened Chicken with Cilantro Lime Quinoa + broccoli
Friday: out 🙂
You can also browse my boards on Pinterest for more ideas throughout the week.
And now…on to your workout!
Today, we’re working on toning and tightening our derrieres. Enjoy!

Those moves are all glute killers! Haha. Loved the core work too that’s involved.
Happy Monday and thank you for a third fabulous Day of Pilates challenge!
Yes, Liz. It’s all core too! Great job today 🙂
What a great workout, thank you! Also, I was planning salmon tonight for dinner but didn’t know what to do with it–definitely going to do the sriracha and lime seasoning 🙂
Oh good! It’s really easy and tastes great 🙂
Feeling the burn!! Now for a killer ab workout and then I’m off to start my day. Happy Monday, everyone!
Love your energy, Kim! Happy Monday!
Great way to start my day, yet another school snow day in Hershey, Pa
Nice to be able to workout from your warm home isn’t it? Enjoy your snow day!
Only just managed to join in today, but I’ve caught up and am really enjoying the workouts!
Happy to have you here, Sarah! Keep us posted on how it goes 🙂
Done! I have a hard to time getting going in the mornings – at home with my little one – so that was a good motivator! Thank you!!

Ohhh, I can totally relate! Glad this helped you a bit. xo
Another great workout! Thanks Robin 🙂

Thank you for helping me get back on track after sorely neglecting Pilates for too long.
My pleasure, Rachael. I’m glad you’re taking the time to add it back into your life. xo
Thank you for putting this 28 day program together! Love your entire message:)
My pleasure Natalie! Glad to have you here as a part of the community 🙂
These bite size sessions are so great! I had surgery on my back a few months ago and started Pilates classes as part of my rehab. The classes are a huge help and I love them, but your program is giving me the confidence to practice on my own at home. Totally hooked! Thank you x
So happy to hear that Alex! I’m glad you’re using Pilates for rehab too. It can help so much. xo
Wow, this one is awesome too! I can’t believe how much I’m loving Pilates! 🙂
I LOVE hearing that!
Yay! Day 3 is in the books! LOL I am sooo weak anymore. Whew! I’m excited to see the changes in my body over this month. Thank you again 🙂 And thank you too for sharing your meal planning. I struggle with that and we end up having the same ho hum meals every week.
Nice work Mindy! You will see improvement if you stick with it. And it will feel so good 🙂
Day 3 done! This is great for beginners! Just enough for me to feel the burn without losing motivation to keep going! Feeling excited!
Awesome. keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for doing this, Robin! This is so helpful and simple. Love!
I’m new to Pilates and you are making it fun Robin!! Thank you for the time you have dedicated to helping us!!
Yay, welcome to the Pilates world! It’s a good world to be a part of. I’m happy to help 🙂
It’s after 10 pm but I got Day 3 of the challenge in and felt every second of it! That was a powerful, short workout!
Good Job Adriane! Way to fit it in 🙂
Woo – really felt that one! This has been a great challenge!
Yeah! We’ve got a lot more fun ahead 🙂
Done! Wow – great workout! My booty definitely needed that! 🙂
Mine too 🙂
I got a little off schedule yesterday and just did the Day 3 workout. I just love these 5 minutes videos! Thank you so much for posting these, Robin!
No worries. All that matters is that you jump right back in and don’t give up!
I just got to day 3 today, it was a killer! Off to do day 4 and get back on schedule.
Good to hear Elisha. That’s dedication 🙂
Hooray for meal planning! And loved the glutes exercises. Loving my 28 day challenge! xo
Got a little sweat going! Felt good but almost didn’t think I was gonna make it. Felt great. Trying to catch up!
Nice job! Keep up the great work 🙂
I pinned the blackened chicken/lime quinoa recipe back when I was doing this, and I just made it tonight. It was excellent. Love healthy meal ideas!
