Pilates Summer Series: Day #12 + Final Giveaway!

lastgiveaway

I’m so excited about our next giveaway. It’s a perfect representation of what The Balanced Life is all about: Pilates, positive body image, health and a natural, balanced lifestyle.

Today’s bundle represents all of that and more.

Have your heard of Affirmats? If not, you’re in for a treat. I absolutely adore them.

Affirmats are high quality, eco-friendly mats made with biodegradable ingredients. But the best part is their message. Each mat has an affirmation such as, “I am wonderfully made” and “I am free,” to help you embrace your time on your mat and create a positive environment for your Pilates practice. I just love them.

The generous Affirmats team has offered to give away one of their beautiful mats to one, lucky Balanced Life beauty.

On top of that, Adina from SW Basics (remember last week’s post?) is throwing in a skin care mini kit + tote bag (so great!) and I’m throwing in ANOTHER full scholarship to The Pilates Body Program.

Let’s do some Pilates…

Today we’re sculpting a strong lower body with traditional Pilates mat exercises. You’ll see a few repeat exercises so hopefully you’ll feel stronger and more capable than you did 2 weeks ago. But that doesn’t mean it will be easy. 🙂

Keep your abdominal wall drawing in and up to maintain stability in your trunk as you work through this series.

Enjoy!

  1. I love these leg videos the best! Makes me feel long and lean. 🙂

    I already bought the X’s and O’s pants, they are so cute and I can’t wait to wear them tomorrow! I also took advantage of the Memorial Day sale yesterday and bought a bikini, pull-over, and fast track tank.

    As usual, loved this workout! Always a wonderful way to start my day! Thanks Robin 🙂

  3. Just finished day 11 & 12 after taking yesterday off – love having access even while away from home! Did the yoga stretching video Sat & Sun – perfect morning start on our vacation!

  4. Hi Robin!

    I was away and couldn’t start you summer series until recently but I am enjoying it so far. I’m on day 5 and just completed Sarah’s yoga video (i’ve been doing her videos for months!) I did the arms yesterday and I am sore today, love that! LOL!!

    Thanks and have a wonderful day
