Can anyone give me sample Pilates Exercises to tone Arms,Abs, and Buns only? Just pilates No weights please.?

by Workout Fiend on February 9, 2010


I have very broad shoulders for a women, and I dont want to bulk up on my arms and shoulders using weights. I know pilates tones and lengthens your body so I only want to do pilates to tone up with 45 minutes of cardio also. Im 25 lbs over weight by the way. I have a toddler at home and cant go to the gym yet so I do all my workouts at home. Could anyone please give me a few sample Pilates exercises to tone my upper arms, buns, and abs? I am also eating very healthy, cutting out all white carbs and doing only whole wheat and lean meats and veggies, fruits…the whole nine yards. Ive been eating like this for a few months now, but just started to work out a few days ago with just cardio. I am now ready to add pilates into my routine. Thanks a lot everyone for your help!!!

I have a few Pilate’s videos at home that are amazing (you can buy them on amazon.com at a good price). They are Crunch workout videos and the instructor’s name is Ellen Barrett – I absolutely love her. My favorite videos are “Super Slim Pilate’s Yoga Blend” and “Pick Your Spot Pilate’s”. They are fantastic!

Well, this Pilates program might be what you’re looking for:

You can do it at home, 3-4 times per week for about 30 mins per session, after your cardio routine. Or if you prefer, split your cardio and Pilates – one day Pialtes, one day cardio and so on….

You’ll love the results of Pilates. I want to share with you the most powerful part about doing the exercise -

It’s in the sheer act of pulling in your navel back into your spine and keeping your belly always scooped, in every exercise movement, that’s gonna grow you real strength in your abs, butts, thighs/hips and back.

You’ll strengthen your abs, butts, thighs/hips and back and sculpt them into leaner, “longer”, slender shapes. You won’t bulk up.
