Add Cardio to Pilates
Because cardio is the only thing missing from your Pilates routine, take your moves off the mat with this workout from June Kahn, owner of June Kahn's Bodyworks and Pilates director at Lakeshore Athletic Club in Boulder, Colorado.
Not only will you get your heart pumping and burn 420 calories per hour (about 17 percent more than in a traditional mat class), but you'll experience total-body conditioning through balance challenges and see the abs-sculpting benefits faster.
