No excuses, as just 5 minutes of exercise a day (whether that be cardio or Pilates) can improve your health and increase your lifespan.

Here are 5 great Pilates exercises for you to do at home or anywhere else that is suitable. Get caught short and can’t do them all together, don’t panic as you can do these at anytime, separately or together and in any order. Maybe you will pick one to do after putting on a wash and then another one later before preparing dinner and so on.

This first video is designed to sculpt the arms and help prevent or get rid of those ‘bingo wings’.

Secondly is the leg strengthener.

Our next daily video focus’s on the Glutes (Buttocks) in a supine position.

Fill another minute of your day with some mat work.

Finally the last video is designed to work the Glutes again, but this time in a standing position.

Once again remember that these exercises can be spaced out throughout the day and can be completed in any order.

Why not take up the challenge of just 5 minutes a day? If you already do Pilates regularly then why not add these extra 5 a day to your schedule to reap even more benefits. If this gives you a taste for Pilates, then book a class at ‘The View’ studio.

Remember to enjoy the exercises.
