Pilates is a perfect way to start the day, and now viewers can grab their mat and join fitness expert Jillian Hessel as she offers a brief, 25-minute workout that's guaranteed to refresh and rejuvenate. Utilizing Pilates matwork techniques as a means of conditioning your "powerhouse" (also known as your torso), this workout will give viewers a feeling of empowerment that lasts throughout the whole day. Included in this workout is a seated warm-up that serves to get your body in sync with your breathing, mat exercises that condition the powerhouse, glutes, and lower body, and upright exercises that combine floor-work with total-body and flexibility movements.
