The full-body Pilates workout you can do on a plane (without anyone noticing)

There are unspoken rules when you’re in the air: Let the person in the middle seat get both arm rests, don’t walk around barefoot, and never, ever utter the word “bomb” (not even if you’re telling your friend about the amazing fat bombs you made the night before).

But one that seems to be regularly broken is using the airplane as your personal workout studio. Who can blame you for wanting to squeeze in a couple push-up reps or a few minutes in down dog when you’ve been sitting for houuuuurs? (I say this as someone who has lived in both Tokyo and Buenos Aires and has taken more than her fair share of long-ass flights.)

The general consensus among flight attendants I’ve spoken with has been that they don’t appreciate mile-high workout moves (especially when it happens in the back galley—as one unlucky yogi en route to Japan found out). That doesn’t mean, however, that you’re stuck upright in your seat until you reach your destination.

She knows how to come up with moves that you can make happen even if you’re not spandex-clad and lying on a Reformer in the middle of a studio.

Just ask Moraima Gaetmank, who has mastered the art of doing low-key stretches on an airplane without bothering her seatmates. As the founder of Studio Kinetique (the Parisian Pilates spot for chic fashion girls and prima ballerinas alike), she knows the physical damage a flight can do to the body—from both her own travels and those of her globetrotting clients. And she also knows how to come up with moves that you can make happen even if you’re not spandex-clad and lying on a Reformer in the middle of a studio. “The French are not ones to walk into a studio in their Lululemon leggings,” she explains, adding, “We have a client who comes and works out in an Alaia dress!” (And is there anything more French than doing something that’s both understated and impactful?)

Here, Gaetmank—along with her Studio Kinetique instructors—shares a head-to-toe, Pilates-inspired workout you can do on the airplane (or car, or train, or whatever else is getting you from point A to point B) to keep your body limber without working up a sweat…or catching any ire from the pilot.
