That’s why we created Pilates x Lift: a four-week hybrid workout series from WH and MH that blends the star qualities of each modality to help you build muscle, stay mobile, and recover better. Pilates helps build core stability, flexibility, and mobility. We tapped two expert trainers—Tara Bethune and Marcus Martinez, CSCS—to create a full-body hybrid workout that incorporates all the best muscle-building strength moves and quiver-inducing pilates burners. The routine wraps with a set focused on rotation to double down on core strength, stability, and balance—before wrapping up with 60 seconds of burpees. The Case For Pairing Pilates With Strength TrainingThis full-body hybrid workout gets at the core (pun intended) principles of the Pilates x Lift program: Pairing pilates with strength training helps you build muscle more efficiently while improving mobility and endurance, so you get stronger and move better long-term, Coach Tara explains.
