Superman + Magic Circle = 🔥

Strengthen your back, fire up your core, and challenge your control.

Small circle. Big results. 💪

✨ One Circle, Endless Possibilities! ✨

Using the Magic Circle to add support, challenge, and extra activation 🔥

✔️ Assisted push-ups with the circle under the chest for added support
✔️ Bear hold squeezes to fire up the inner thighs and core
✔️ Side-opening presses to build stability and control

Small prop, big results. Give these moves a try and feel the burn! 💪⭕️

One little yoga block, two very different challenges 😏🔥

✨ A little extra support for balance during the single-leg hinge, so you can focus on control, alignment and strength.

✨ A little extra challenge during the push-ups, where the asymmetrical setup fires up the core and shoulder stability.

Same prop. Different purpose. Big impact 💪⚖️

Cute smile. Evil squat variation 😈🔥
Pilates… but make it spicy ✨
Bands, weights, yoga block & shaky legs 💪
One move. Full body burn. 🔥

One heel elevated + a ball under the other foot = 🔥
Legs on fire, balance challenged, core activated 😮‍💨🦵✨

🎥 Breathing, burning & pretending I don’t hear the complaints 😌🔥

Today’s focus: deep core work, transverse activation & Pilates breathing 🫁✨
Because yes… breathing correctly while your abs are shaking is an actual skill 😂

A lot of cues, a lot of “inhale… exhale…”
some smiles 😄
some suffering 😏
and apparently… 10 seconds can feel like a lifetime ⏳💀

Funny how the break always feels way too short though 👀😂

Benefits of Pilates ✨
Stronger core, better posture, improved flexibility, balance, control, mobility, and mind-body connection.
Move better. Feel better. 💫

Juste parce qu’il faisait beau ☀️
Juste parce que j’avais envie de bouger
Juste parce que j’avais besoin de me vider la tête
Juste parce que courir, ça fait du bien

21 km plus tard… 💥

Pas de chrono.
Pas de pression.
Juste moi, mes jambes, et le soleil en Belgique 🇧🇪

Respirer.
Contrôler.
S’ancrer.
Avancer.

Le corps en mouvement, l’esprit qui suit ✨

Et un peu de bronzage en bonus 😏
