Check the exercise notes to see how they slightly differ and for tips!

Classical Pilates: Leg Pull Front Support
Gym: High Plank

Leg Pull Front Support aka Plank

Classical Pilates: Criss Cross
Gym: Bicycle Crunches

Don’t think about having your elbow and knee touch as you cross. Instead, think of ringing your abs out like a towel on either side - keeping your elbows wide

Criss Cross aka Bicycle Crunches

Classical Pilates: Shoulder Bridge Prep
Gym: Glute Bridges

As you descend back down to the mat, try to articulate yourself vertebrae by vertebrae - rather than just going up and down.

Shoulder Bridge Prep aka Glute Bridges

Classical Pilates: Double Leg Lower Lift
Gym: Leg Raises

For the Double Leg Lower Lift, reduce your range of motion - rather than lowering all the way down to the floor. Think about keeping your centre line by magnetizing your thighs and squeezing your glutes.
