Pilates - strength training

[TomCat24]

Looking for a YouTube Pilates workout recommendation that focuses on strength training.

My regular exercise is running- 5k 2/3 times a week, but as I’m reaching my mid-40s want to add in some strength training. I do yoga and Pilates on and off but want to add in a more regular session of Pilates that focuses on core strengthening etc.

Any good YouTube videos out there?

Pilates and strength training are different things. I’m not trying to be clever - saying it in case you’ve heard the benefits of strength training so want that.

Thanks for replying! Yeah, I think I explained it wrong 😂 Meant Pilates for core strength etc rather than strength training with weights. Sorry - didn’t explain very well.

I follow Charlie follows yoga on YouTube. I quite like her routines and she makes them for pretty much every eventuality, including core work and yoga for athletes, so good for stretching out those tired muscles from running.

not Pilates, but I like them. There’s everything from 15 minute to hour long routines.

I like move with Nicole but she does describe every movement as beautiful, which is a bit annoying!

Pilates can give you incredible core strength but the difference between doing the exercises correctly and incorrectly can be tiny and hard to discern online. Much better to go to classes in person at least until you have learned the movements correctly

Check out Fit with Sally and Eleni fit. On YouTube. A lot of great free content.

They do my favourite core workouts.

I do Pilates by Izzy on youtube - great workouts to do at home when you don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on classes or memberships!
