Take pilates to the next level by getting off the mat. "By practicing the moves upright, you double the toning power of pilates," says Thalia Thomas of Studio Soma in West Hollywood, who's trained Kylie Minogue and Cate Blanchett.
Move 1 Stand with right hand on wall, left hand behind head, pulling in abs. Raise left leg to front, toe pointed (as shown, top), then out to side and back. Lower leg and repeat. Do as many reps as you can quickly, without pausing, for two minutes. Repeat on other side.
Move 2 Step away from wall. Spread arms out, forming a T. Bend right leg, point toes and lift right knee to right elbow (as shown, bottom). Alternate sides for two minutes.
