EXERCISES IN FULL-BODY BLASTER PILATES & STRENGTH WORKOUT – YOUTUBE VIDEOS
These exercise breakdowns are to help you learn each exercise, develop good posture, and become more knowledgeable about the exercises you’re performing. You can go through the breakdown of each exercise as many times as you’d like. I do recommend doing each exercise breakdown at least once to develop a better understanding of the workout. Even if you’re familiar with the exercise, it’s always helpful to review.
