It’s Day 6 of the Circuit Breaker. I’ve really been a good girl and only step out to do the essentials like collecting my reusable mask, buying food and groceries. I’ve also timed myself such that I will be back within 2 hours inclusive of driving. How about you?
3 weeks ago, I had a concept of 14 Days Pilates Quarantine Workout. I was concerned that if our Singapore Pilates studios are mandated to close, then many of our older clients will be inactive for a month or longer. All the efforts that they have put in these years attending Pilates classes will take a setback. That is definitely not a good thing, physically and mentally.
Thank god for good timing as we were mandated to shut by 7 April 2020. I did 14 Days of Pilates for beginners videos, naming it “14 Days Pilates Quarantine Workout” with my Mum, sharing it on our Instagram and Tiktok. Doing these Pilates for beginners exercises with Mum gave me confidence that these Pilates beginners exercises are suitable for the young and the old since Mum curated all the moves. Mum turned 63 on 1 April 2020 and I’m glad that she is able to follow through all of the Pilates exercises! Also, I managed to rush through the filming and completed the 14 Days Pilates Quarantine Workout – Singapore Pilates Edition, with me doing it together with you step by step on our revamped Youtube channel.
The Covid-19 circuit breaker is urging everyone to #StayAtHome. Just a few days ago, Singapore Government also closed all national stadiums in the neighbourhood and beaches to discourage people from exercising in groups outdoors. But we need to move and exercise – for our body and to keep our spirits up.
This 14 Days Pilates Quarantine Workout - Singapore Pilates Edition is planned such that we focus on one part of the body a day. Through the 14 days journey, we hope to work with you to build your best body. I’ve isolated 14 most common concerns of clients, starting with the spine!

Do you know that weak abs cause you to compensate your back muscles to support your posture, especially during sitting? This results in tight lower back muscles and chronic pain. When your back muscles tighten up to protect itself from overworking, range of movement is reduced translating into knee and ankles pains as your spine is unable to cushion pressure from your feet.
This is especially important to us now that we are sitting down most of the time - either working on our lappies or in front of the TV. Try to do light stretching every hour so that you are not stuck in the same position for hours at a go. If time permits, follow our simple 10 minutes online Pilates class online so that you get to practice engaging your core every day.
Day 3 of 14 Days Quarantine Workout - Singapore Pilates Edition, targets your abs especially your transverse abdominis (TA) which is the innermost abs muscle that hugs your spine and organs. Strengthening your TA gives you better posture and reduce back/knee/ankle/hip pains.
