Want to slot in a quick strength session for your glute and core muscles that doesn’t involve lifting weights? This Pilates workout is just what you need. In eight minutes you can improve the strength in your booty, hips and lower back (which make up your body’s core muscles) using nothing but these four bodyweight exercises. Just make sure you have something soft and supportive, like an exercise mat, beneath you.
This workout is easy to slot into busy schedules, as it’ll only take you eight minutes. There’s four different exercises in total, all of which start in the glute bridge position. You’ll only do eight reps of each exercise. The reason being is that you really want to do each movement controlled, while breathing correctly, and not compromising on form. Ready? Here’s your workout:
