15-Minute Mat Pilates Workout for Beginners

June 16, 2016 //  by Di Hickman

While HIIT is a great way to increase fitness, one question I get asked a lot, in person and in the blog comments, is "what to do if you're a beginner"? High impact or high-intensity workouts are great for fat burning but they aren't really suitable for beginners. Or maybe you're working around an injury, there are workouts you can continue to do in order to y fit. I suggest something less intense, like this 15 minute Mat Pilates Workout! Did you know that Pilates was originally created …

Pilates Circle Abs & Thigh Workout

February 9, 2016 //  by Di Hickman

So recently I got the chance to try out a Pilates Circle by Infinito. They sent me their pilates circle for free in exchange for a fair and honest review and I figured hey let's kill two birds with one stone and make it a workout post for the blog! I'm all about multitasking. I'll be totally honest and admit that pilates isn't something I do a lot of. In fact it's something I rarely do, and doing pilates workouts brings back flashbacks of pilates and PiYo training which were fun times, but I get …

ABX yoga mat review non slip

Is a yoga towel good for yoga?

April 18, 2015 //  by Di Hickman

So recently I've been doing some reviews and while some are products that I've used previously, some are new products that I've been eager to try out. One of those is the ABX yoga towel (I received the product in exchange for an honest review), this  towel sits on top of your yoga mat and soaks up the sweat while you get your asana on.  So as you can see above the towel fits great on the mat, and was actually a little longer, it hung over maybe an inch over the edges. The towel had …

how to roll yoga mat to keep it clean

How to roll up your yoga mat and keep it clean

April 16, 2015 //  by Di Hickman

So if you do yoga (you know you should), pilates or some other workout that means you use a mat, you'll know that those suckers have a life of their own. They get dirty and they roll awkwardly then won't unroll completely during your yoga practice. If you carry your mat to classes it can be more challenging so I made a handy dandy video tutorial on how to roll up your yoga mat to avoid kinks and keep it clean. Now you might think... Why do I need a tutorial? Well if you are rolling from one …

10 minute Yogalates workout for arms & abs

April 15, 2015 //  by Di Hickman

One of my most popular workout videos an 8 minute yogalates workout and I thought because I hadn't done a yogalates workout in a while it was time for another. In this 10- minute yogalates workout for arms and abs I've included calisthenics, and pilates exercises, with traditional yoga moves like downward-facing dog, and crescent pose.     It's a challenge for the arms, core and balance too. Plus you may find it bumps the heart rate. Don't be fooled by the slow start, it's …

Youphoria Yoga Mat Review

April 14, 2015 //  by Di Hickman

One of my goals for 2015 was to dive head first into yoga. Not only by seeking more yoga education but also more personal practice, and teaching more classes. Part of yoga is having the right the equipment. I've got my mat(s), bags, straps and blocks but wanted another mat for home practice so I can leave one mat in the car ready for teaching yoga at any time. So I jumped at the chance to review this blue yoga mat by Youphoria. The sent me the mat in exchange for a review and I was …

7 minute Yogalates workout 20140603

June 4, 2014 //  by Di Hickman

Workout Wednesday folks! Yes I'm back!!! We got back Monday from our trip to Lake Casitas and I'll be sharing photos and  details of the trip soon but today is Wednesday which means it's time to workout. As I've been de-stressing this weekend I figured why not do a yogalates workout? Yogalates for those that don't know is a mix of yoga and pilates. I used to teach this twice a week and have gotten slack with it over the last few years and I definitely see  (and feel) a difference. Flexibility is …
