Sweat Now Offers a 10-Week Pilates Workout Program, and You Only Need a Mat

You're probably familiar with Kayla Itsines's Sweat app and its popular HIIT and strength workouts. Last fall, SWEAT unveiled new yoga and barre workouts [1], perfect for people who want to built strength with low-impact training. Now, the company has launched a new 10-week Pilates program, available starting 22 Feb.

The program offers traditional mat-based Pilates workouts focussed on core strength and stability, and improving posture and mobility. Pilates is a good low-impact strength workout that's doable for all fitness levels. The best part? Besides a mat, it's equipment-free — you just need your bodyweight. The workouts are led by former dancer and current Pilates instructor Sara Colquhoun, who has 17 years teaching Pilates.

"It's a dream come true to join the Sweat community and have the opportunity to encourage more women across the world to experience the benefits of Pilates," Colquhoun said, according to a press release. "The program is tailored for all fitness abilities and you won't need much space or equipment to enjoy a great workout. I believe that a flexible fitness approach is the key to a sustainably healthy lifestyle, and I love that Sweat programs offer women the convenience and confidence to customise their training to suit their individual needs."

If you've been looking to give Pilates a try, or just want to mix up your training program, check out Colquhoun's workouts on the SWEAT app [2].
