Kristi Cooper White is the founder and creator of Pilates Anytime. She has been featured on Oprah and has helped train many other celebrities.
Kristi wanted to bring pilates to the masses, so in 2010 she founded the Pilates Anytime app. The app made pilates accessible to anyone at any time.
Pilates is a great low- impact muscle building exercise that can be done either on a mat or with a special machine called a reformer. It helps build your core and offers a solid foundation for flexibility and strength.
Pilates Anytime is great for someone who wants a quick and effective workout with minimal equipment as a lot of the workouts are done using your own body weight. Pilates focuses on toning and tightening while also working on your flexibility.
Pilates Anytime offers both mat and reformer (pilates-specific equipment) exercises that you can do for your at-home workout.
Pilates Anytime also offers meditation which is so important for the mind, body and soul.

As you can see, there’s no shortage of at-home workouts to choose from! Deciding which one to use is actually the easy part. The hard part is making a commitment to take consistent action and dedicating time to your practice.
