While all the gyms and studios are closed during self-isolation, it does not mean that you can’t get some sweat on.
Now is the perfect time to get a workout that is approved by Selena Gomez herself.
Her trainer, Shannon Nadj, showed us a 15-move pilates sequence, which can easily be done at home, no equipment needed.
Carefully follow her two videos in which she demonstrates a great 30-minute workout.
If you like these moves, then you can check out Nadj’s studio, Hot Pilates, when things get normal again, of course.
Go grab your fitness leggings and start!
You do 10 reps of each movement and then repeat the entire sequence 3 times.
