It can be hard to find the time and motivation to do Pilates at home, especially if you don’t have a dedicated space or equipment. Whether it’s first thing in the morning or before bed, pick a time that you can stick to and make it part of your daily routine.

Even if it’s just a corner of your living room, having a designated area for your Pilates for home will help you stay focused and motivated. A mat, small Pilates ball and resistance band are all you really need to get started. You can find all of these items relatively cheaply online or at your local sporting goods store.

If you’re just starting out, it’s important to set achievable goals so you don’t get discouraged. For example, start with just 10 minutes of practice per day and gradually increase as you feel more comfortable. Practicing with a friend or family member can help keep you accountable and motivated.

When it comes to getting motivated to do anything, it can be difficult to find inspiration within yourself. However, when it comes to pilates – a mind-body exercise that offers so many benefits – it may be worth taking a little extra time to consider how you can get started.

Create a designated space: Just as you would with any other workout, setting up a specific space in your home for pilates can help create a sense of discipline around the activity. If you have the means, invest in a yoga mat and some props like resistance bands or balls. Otherwise, simply clear a space on the floor where you can move freely.
