Free access · 4 workouts · 7 days to complete · No subscription required
A strong core supports your posture, balance, stability and control through almost everything you do. Across four focused sessions, you’ll challenge your centre from every angle.
Work your deep abdominals, obliques, side body and stabilising muscles.
Around 10-15 minutes per class, deliberately programmed to challenge you without taking over your day.
Four workouts in a clear order, with recovery days already built into your seven-day plan.
The challenge builds as the week progresses, giving you four completely different ways to strengthen and connect to your core.
Start with a focused abdominal workout designed to help you connect properly to your core from the first rep. Different layering options are offered throughout, so you can choose the challenge that works for you while maintaining control and strong form.
Core strength isn’t only built lying on your back. This classic SDP side-lying session works your obliques, glutes, hips and deep stabilising muscles while introducing some signature SDP moves.
The Magic Circle turns up the intensity with continuous resistance and plenty of time under tension. Expect precise, controlled movement that challenges the entire abdominal wall.
Finish the week with your strongest challenge. Loaded core work, deep abdominal strength and stability combine to leave every layer of your centre properly switched on.
No complicated schedule. No random scrolling. Just press play and follow the plan.

A few simple pieces of kit are used across the week.
You want core work that feels stronger and more purposeful than a few basic ab exercises.
You enjoy Pilates but want to feel properly challenged.
You need short workouts that still feel genuinely worthwhile.
You value clear coaching and options that help you work at the right level.
You want a structured plan rather than another random workout saved on your phone.

Everything you need to know before you begin.
Four workouts, completed across seven days on Days 1, 3, 5 and 7.
Each class takes around 10–15 minutes.
Across the week you'll use a mat, weights, Bala bangles, a Pilates soft ball and a Magic Circle.
The workouts are designed to be challenging. You don't need to be a Pilates expert and options are offered where appropriate, but this challenge is designed to give you a genuine SDP workout rather than a gentle beginner introduction.
Your seven-day access starts immediately after you sign up.
No. The 7-Day Stronger Core challenge is free and does not start a paid SDP membership.
Your free access to the challenge expires automatically. There is no obligation to join SDP once the challenge has finished, but the option is there if you want to!
