Pilates Circle Mat Challenge Workout Review
Pilates Circle Mat Challenge is a forty five minute Pilates mat workout based on one of Bernadette Giorgi’s most popular Just B Method classes. The DVD offers a complete forty five minute workout as well as three timesaver premixes. At under thirty minutes, the three premixes, Core Challenge, Side Kick Challenge and Butt Challenge, are an excellent option for when you don’t have time to complete the entire workout or are still in the process of building up to it. Bernadette Giorgi leads the workout without any background exercisers. You will need a Pilates ring and a mat for the workout.
In Pilates Circle Mat Challenge , Bernadette uses a magic circle Pilates ring to perform the workout. This tool offers countless applications and uses. It allows the body, or the specific body part, to maintain correct positioning, as well as activates and engages the muscles more effectively. It also challenges your coordination, balance and concentration. The resistance of the Pilates Circle is designed to sculpt and tone the waist, hips and legs.
Pilate Circle Mat Challenge begins with a simple warm up and stretch and then moves into the first section of the workout which focuses on the core. Here you will find many standard Pilates moves including the hundred, rollups, corkscrew, bicycle, bridge and V-sits all using the circle. Bernadette offers much welcomed brief stretches in between. From here, the workout moves into a side-lying leg series which thoroughly targets the muscles of the lower body and alternates using the circle on the inside and outside of the legs. Next is a prone lying series that engages the butt and hamstrings. Here the circle will be cleverly placed between the ankle and butt to really get deep in the muscles. The workout then concludes with a cool-down and stretches, using the circle to intensify the stretches.
Pilates Circle Mat Challenge provides a gentle yet challenging workout that leaves you with a sense of calm and tranquility from Bernadette’s gentle voice and the soft classical background music. Bernadette Giorgi , with her pleasant and soothing voice, gives clear and easy-to follow instructions and form pointers while setting up the exercises using the Pilates circle. She gives reminders on form throughout the workout while also mentioning modifications or options and briefly demonstrating them. Pilates Circle Mat Challenge is a gentle yet intense mat workout that will challenge the muscles of the core, hips and thighs while improving flexibility and calming the mind.

I learned that the just B methond has moved away from intense drill centered workouts; Giorgi’s “just b method” uses the ease of movement found in Pilates to motivate her clients toward healthier lifestyle choices. Pilates invigorates the body by drawing from a range of “mind/body” disciplines that offer a workout to heighten body awareness.
