Les Mills CORE FAQs
Both types of classes focus on strengthening the core, but the format of the workouts differ. Les Mills CORE is a high-intensity, music-driven workout designed to build strength, endurance, and stability using resistance bands, weights, and dynamic movements. It’s fast-paced and athletic, ideal for enhancing performance. Pilates emphasises controlled, low-impact exercises that focus on flexibility, alignment, and mindful movement, often performed on a mat or specialised equipment.
Yes! All Les Mills workouts can be modified to be beginner-friendly and help you gradually build strength and endurance.
Les Mills CORE is designed to strengthen the muscles that support your spine, which can improve back stability and reduce discomfort over time. However, some exercises may involve intense core engagement, twisting, or dynamic movements that could aggravate your condition.
Before starting, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider or physiotherapist to ensure it’s safe for you. During the class, inform your instructor about your back issues so they can provide modified exercises that reduce strain.
