Floor-based Full Body Resistance Band Pilates Workout for Beginners
Did you know you can get a full-body workout using resistance bands?
When you do strength training exercises you can use a resistance band as an alternative instead of dumbbells, when you are a beginner. Working out with resistance bands can be effective when you do the right exercises and have the right resistance bands.
What resistance band to use? There are a few types of resistance bands such as; looped bands (also known as booty bands), bands with handles, tube bands, or Therabands (like in this video). If you are a beginner or an older adult, then choose a resistance band anywhere from 4lbs resistance tension to 8lbs. Even better, buy a couple of bands with two levels of resistance.
In this 10-minute beginner Pilates resistance band workout, I demonstrate the best four Pilates beginner exercises to work out the whole body. These floor-based resistance band exercises are knee-friendly, low-impact, and a great workout if you are limited to time or just a newbie to exercises. There’s no squatting, no weight-bearing on knees or hands in this Pilates workout.
This Pilates workout uses the important muscles in the body like the back and core muscles, for an effective all-over workout. You can do this workout anytime, anywhere as these bands are portable and easy to use. Combine this resistance band workout with your cardio to help you shape up the body.
You can get in shape with just a resistance band when you follow a healthy diet. It’s a great Pilates exercise workout for women over 50, or older adults, who have never exercised before.

Important Tips For Floor-based Resistance Band Exercises
Engage the core by drawing the navel to the spine and activate the pelvic floor.
Move slowly and smoothly in your Pilates exercises.
Keep your hips stable when moving.
Breathe out (exhale) on the exertion with each resistance band exercise.
Listen to your body and rest anytime.
You can place the Pilates video on pause after I demonstrate each Pilates exercise so you can take your time, doing more repetitions and sets. Pilates beginners aim for 10-15 repetitions for each resistance band exercise.Once you build more strength you can move onto dumbbells and heavier weights to challenge your muscles.
