5 Core moves that are low-impact, high burn

Build a stronger core in 5 Minutes

Here are 5 Pilates Core exercises that are low-impact (high burn). Try these moves in 1-minute intervals, back to back and experience our LIIT Method.

WHAT IS LIIT?
LIIT is our newest class style, it stands for Low Impact Interval Training. Unlike HIIT which includes high-impact moves, LIIT supersets low-impact, high-intensity moves. 1-minute intervals of our most effective exercises, back to back guaranteed to get you burning, sweating, and feeling that post-workout high in less time.

Your CORE flavoured LIIT lineup:
⏱️ 1 Minute x Overball Abs
⏱️ 1 Minute x Side Planks
⏱️ 1 Minute x Roll Downs
⏱️ 1 Minute x Elbow to Knee Criss Cross
⏱️ 1 Minute x Gliding Planks

I personally use this method in my home practise when I want to get my heart rate up quickly and maximum burn in a short time frame.
