About this routine

Sydney Sweeney's workout routine relies heavily on high intensity reformer pilates workouts like SolidCore, which she has practiced for years. Rather than traditional fast cardio or heavy weightlifting, this method uses slow tempo movements under heavy resistance to push muscles to exhaustion.

The session prioritizes continuous time under tension. Every movement is executed with a slow four-second count on both the extension and contraction phases, targeting small stabilizer muscles alongside major muscle groups. Following this sequence with a routine timer helps maintain the strict pacing required for maximum muscle recruitment.

By combining core stability, lunges, and upper body pulls in a single low-impact flow, this workout delivers high intensity strength work without placing excess strain on the joints.

Why this routine works

Builds core strength through continuous time under tension
Delivers a high intensity workout with minimal joint impact
