‘I Added Pilates And Cardio To My Strength Routine With The 3-2-1 Method—Here’s What Actually Happened’
Raise your hand if you’ve fallen down a TikTok fitness rabbit hole—one minute Pilates is everything, the next weightlifting changes your mind. Same here! So when the 3-2-1 method (3 strength, 2 Pilates, 1 cardio days + rest weekly, by trainer Courteney Fisher) popped up, I had to try it. As a new Pilates instructor, I swapped my loose lift-heavy routine for this structured plan for a month, mixing mat/reformer Pilates, lifts, Orangetheory, pickleball etc. with progressive overload. Skeptical at first, but after a month, less inflammation, more energy, tighter core! Have you tried hybrid fitness or stuck in a routine rut? Drop a comment—let’s chat!
