A FITNESS fanatic has proven that reformer pilates doesn’t have to be reserved for the rich.
The exercise instructor claimed that her alternative to the workout can be done without leaving the work desk.
Isabella Kreiner (@isabellakreinerr) filmed herself breaking a sweat with a buddy in a video on TikTok.
“POV: Lunch time reformer classes are full at your local pilates studio, so office pilates it is,” read the text.
The pair did six different workouts using their desk and roller chairs.
Each movement emulated workouts available from pilates classes, but without the expensive equipment.
The fit woman added her twist on the exercise in the caption of the video.
“Office pilates it is,” she said.
The video drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
Several praised Isabella’s approach to fitness and the creative measures she used to make the workout happen while on the job.
“This is iconic,” one viewer praised, with Isabella writing back: “It was so hard.”
“This is a good ad for that desk,” another commented, with Isabella replying: “It’s a pretty sturdy desk.”
“But this makes so much sense,” a third supporter wrote.
Others questioned the safety of the unconventional exercise routine.
“Office Pilates? I know I’m about to get a workers compensation because I’m that clumsy,” one wrote.
“One slip and my jaw will be gone,” another added.
“Once I do this, no office pilates would become part of the health and safety protocol,” yet another chimed in.
Isabella added: “Update: My body was sore after this. Also, maybe don’t try this at home. Please use caution. We did some core exercises, too (that I didn’t post) and my core was so sore.”
