In Class 11 of the 30-Minute Pilates series, use hand weights to build bone density
Welcome to this gentle mat class led by Erin Wilson, an instructor for the online streaming platform Pilates Anytime.
In this beginner- to intermediate-level Pilates standing class, you’ll learn how to improve your balance and create more awareness in your body.
Erin will focus on functional strengthening exercises that are designed to teach you to move more confidently, safely and effectively when engaged in your daily activities. She uses hand weights to help you build more bone density as the movements challenge your stability and coordination.
