#mindbodymat: day 11 (Pilates Ab Workout)
Can you believe we’re entering the final week of the challenge?
I’m not ready for this to end! The good news is we still have 5 fun, effective workouts lined up for the week ahead.
We’ll be working the entire body and continuing to incorporate more self-care into our days.
I’m in the process of re-structuring my daily/weekly routine to create more balance in my life (yes, I get off course too) and things haven’t quite gone as planned today. But that’s okay. I’m re-evaluating and hoping for a better day tomorrow. I’m excited to share some of my new “balance strategies” with you once I put them to the test. 🙂
Self-Care Challenge…
If you’re having a “Monday” too this challenge will be a perfect way to leave the stress behind.
Wine, bubbles and candles? I mean…come on. What’s not to love?
If you don’t have a tub, take a long, hot shower and create a spa-like environment to end the day. You may even add a face mask or sugar scrub to take the pampering one step further. The point is just to change up your routine and do something lovely for yourself tonight.
Before we dive into our workout we have a giveaway winner to announce! This week’s winner is…

Let’s workout…
It’s ab day! Don’t forget to focus on the transverse abdominus as you go through today’s Pilates ab workout. You should feel like you’re wearing a tight corset as you perform these exercises. Of course you have to breathe too, but keep reminding yourself to draw your waist in from all directions to get the most out of your workout today.
It’s a challenging one today!
Today’s Check-In: I challenge you to double up! Pick another workout from the challenge and tag it on to today’s Pilates ab workout. Show/tell me which one you’re doing and use the hashtag #mindbodymat.
Have fun with it!
