Pilates Mini Ball Workout // Feel Good Toning for Abs, Butt & Legs

This feel good Pilates workout is challenging but achievable and is appropriate for everyone including seniors and beginners. Using a small ball (also known as a bender ball) we will strengthen and lengthen the body in this mat workout. Exercises using the Pilates mini ball will focus on the abdominals, glutes and legs. We will finish with some stretches for flexibility.
I hope you love this workout as much as I do and feel amazing after completing it!
Here is the link to my amazon storefront that has a few types of balls that will work great for these exercises:

Thankyou Lauren, another brilliant session 👏 will work on this one for a while 😀 I have the ball and it really works..!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much! I agree the ball is a great tool and is fun too!

[@cherylcosgrove511]

I’m loving watching your channel grow! These creative workouts make my day🥰

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Cheryl. Viewers like you and nice comments such as yours make my day!

[@stacischeetz7597]

Holy smokes! CoreVember keeping me at it!! My core is not sure if it's happy to be noticed or angry that it had to wake up!😂😂 On the positive side, those leg check marks, clam shells, and stretches were very attainable for me! All that hard work in October paying off!! It's so encouraging!! This is a TERRIFIC video!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Rock on Staci! So glad you think it's terrific!

[@pammcmillin5794]

Nice fast workout! Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Pam !

[@stacischeetz7597]

Haven't done this one for a bit-- still challenging, but I DID IT!!! ALL OF IT-- even the "extra challenge" part. And, only cursed at those bird dogs at the end! I can't believe I can do this! Strong for spring!!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Excellent! Happy to hear there was minimal cursing ;)

[@sheilakay4745]

Great workout thank you

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Sheila, so glad you liked it!

[@marlaa2362]

Thank you Lauren. The exercise targeting the lower abs while leaning on elbows...would laying flat on back be a good modification? Never realized how much weaker I am in that area! This workout does keep us honest, like you said!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes Marla, if you lay flat just make sure your back is supported to keep your abs engaged. Keep working at it, it will get easier as you get stronger 💪🏻

[@stacischeetz7597]

One more weekend of active walking and I was ready!! One last push to be ready for a big adventure at the end of the month-- strong core, strong legs, strong summer!!! 💪

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's so great Staci! I'm excited for you :)

[@janiscrary4833]

Love the resistance workouts! My problem is doing this with a ball obsessed German Shepherd. Worked on her self-control until the ball between the ankles, pause time for her to go outside.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Hilarious! Playtime for everyone :)

[@patriciawhite6820]

I always enjoy your workouts! The movements are good and your routines are so very calming and peaceful! Thank you for sharing this!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much Patricia! It’s my pleasure! 💜

[@Bematwell]

Lauren, interested in getting a few of the Pilates tools. Which 2-3 are the most used & beneficial. Thanks

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Mini ball is my #1 for sure! followed by resistance bands (any shape or size)

I love these work outs. Am I able to recover older routines that I’ve loved, but no longer see on the list. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Hi Linda. I have not removed any videos. Sometimes they are easier to find in the playlists (but not all videos are in a playlist). You can also go to the video tab on my channel page. It’s lists all my videos chronological order. Let me know if you still can’t find what you are looking for, I’m happy to help!

[@carolebourgon6798]

Another great routine! Working with a little ball is so fun and helps us to have “fluid moves”. Thank you so much. 💐🌹
