Whether you have a broom, a Swiffer, or something similar, you can use this common household item for Pilates moves.
"Hold a broomstick with hands shoulder-width apart, all four fingers on the same side," says Blumenfeld. "Energetically pull apart the broom to engage your lats and back muscles — this helps to connect your arms into your powerhouse (core!). From there, you can do arm raises, the hundreds, bicep curls, chest presses, etc. You can also use a broomstick to make your squats and lunges more challenging, while engaging your core further."
