Welcome to this live recording of our Friday Full Body Energiser. No equipment required, just yourself and your mat. We mobilise the whole body, activate our breath, and move through Pilates flows to leave you feeling really energised yet balanced.

This class is a great reminder of how powerful the use of the mini ball can be for activation of the deep core and inner thighs. We start by resetting our breathwork, grounding ourselves into this session, before getting stuck into some controlled strength.

In this workout, I really want you to choose a pair of weights that feels challenging but that you can still lift above your shoulder with good form. Here, I'm using a pair of 5kg and ankle weights for 2kg. I'm loading but in a way that i know i can support my body - thats going to look different on everyone so be critical and honest so you get the most out of this session.

I had a little sweat on here and it felt great! we want to choose a weight that feels challenging but that you can extend your arms out in front of you with. this session is really about control and supporting the body from the centre while we move through the exercises. Enjoy x

Optional Equipment: Heavy Weight

We mix body weight strength with weighted strength which is a great combo for functional strength. We move with pace and we are up and down from the floor with a few variations of plank (our favourite). 1. Choose a weight that feels heavy and that you can still maintain good form. 2. If you need to come down to your knees or forearms in the plank work - absolutely no problem! Holding a plank is a lot on the whole body - you've got this! x

Optional Equipment: Magic Circle OR Mini Ball.

The Magic circle is amazing for adding in resistance but also giving us support and alignment and we play around with both of these elements in this session together. If you are new to the Magic Circle, be patient - sometimes it can take a while to connect to the positioning and how it feels but you'll get there! x

Optional Equipment: light 1kg weights, heavier weights (2-5kg), block

3 rounds of this balance and strength routine. Round one is where we set the foundation, round two is where we test our balance and round 3 is where we test our strength and balance. We want to challenge ourselves as much as possible without sacrificing form. I drop down in weight part way through set 3 because i can feel my form slip so pay attention to how you are feeling. x

NOTE: My Mic dies 2 mins before the end and I already had to film this one twice - i couldn't bring myself to try again!

This workout uses light weights to challenge our range and mobility of movement. We are not really in muscle growth territory, but that's not to say this workout is easy! the light weights do exactly what we want them to - challenge the small connecting muscles that are vital in supporting the big ones. x

Optional Equipment: Weights (3-5kg), ankle weights, block.

Well this is a serious strength challenge (slightly annoyed I had just washed my hair). This workout is going to give you such an amazing buzz of strength and power in that lovely Pilates, controlled way. I would say this will challenge you, but thats exactly what we want when it comes to building strength and resilience. It doesn't always look pretty, it can be messy and wobbly and thats how we like it. x

This workout uses the mini ball to help you focus on the tiny adjustments in the body that will make a big difference to how much we get out of the session. It will de-stabilise you, allow you to focus on control and precision, and at times, will give you extra support. Take your time and stay as present as possible x

This workout combines strength and mobility because we need both in equal measure to truly feel confident in our own skin. I am using the 5kg weights in this workout, but you can just use bodyweight or choose a lighter weight if that feels better for you. x

No equipment necessary here - this workout is about moving your body freely in a way that feels really good! We are doing 3 round of this circuit - 30 minutes in total. You can join in for all 3 round for maximum impact but if you only have 20 minutes today, take the two rounds - absolutely fine! x

Optional equipment: 1 x 5kg weight (3-7kg) + long band

Boosting our energy doesn't always mean working faster with more dynamic movement - sometimes it means controlled, precise movement to bring us back into our bodies. This workout incorporates strength + resistance with the intention of leaving you feeling empowered, stronger, more balanced and with stable energy. Enjoy x

This body weight workout is exactly what you need if you are short of energy or need to feel a bit more alive and awake. Its low impact, dynamic, and allows us to flow freely with little adjustments on form, without holding on to tension. It's the release of the body that we want here, so fully embrace it keep breathing x

Optional Equipment: 1-2kg weights

Mind-body connection is one of the key aspects that makes Pilates different from other forms of exercise and so our focus is really on being in your body and as present as possible. Life is busy but the next 27 minutes is just for you - so make the most it direct your mind to the muscles that are working, the form, and the breathing pattern. It won't come naturally at first, your mind might wander, when it does gently bring it back and enjoy this session x

This workout uses slow and controlled strength in series of 3 rounds. I am using 5kg weights and the ball in this workout which will help you build muscle and deepen the connection you feel to these exercises, however you don't need to use them if you don't have access. If you are new to Pilates, you may want to skip the weights and get familiar with the body positioning first. You can always revisit the session with weights at a later date x

This bodyweight workout encourages us to notice the small tweaks in alignment and form that make a big difference to the feeling in the body. Keep your ears open and see if you can make those tiny adjustments - i promise they will make a big difference. If anything feels a little off, there are always modifications you can make to range so listen to your body and I really hope you enjoy this session x

This was a live workout that i did with my early morning crew - excuse the baggy jumper, it was that kind of morning! This workout is for you if you want to feel a good amount of burn and strength work in the legs and also work on your stability - the ball really challenges that in this session. x

If you need some quiet, controlled energy in your body, try this workout. We start with some mobility and then slowly move into some strength work with the ball and the weights. It's not always the faster workouts that give you the energy you need, sometimes its the ones that are with intention and control that do exactly what you need.

First thing in the morning, the body needs waking up and bought back to life. This routine, focuses on spinal mobility (to selfishly get rid of the crick in my neck) and then we move onto a short weights section to leave the body feeling strong and powerful, yet mobile and limber. x
