She added that she would be doing another workout session with her PT Mel Deane later on in the day: "Got @meldeane12 again this aftie… Ooh.. Weights this time I think. Morning y'all."
Speaking in the video, she said: "So I've started pilates on these machines, the reformer – love it. And its my new thing. I've got a gym session this afternoon so I'll see if I'm a little bit more stretched out."
The benefits of reformer pilates are endless, but it's one of the most challenging workouts there are, since it calls upon strength, stability and balance at once, and apparently Carol's fans and followers are well aware.

One commented: "Yeah, it's brilliant. Watch out though… You'll feel it the next day!" Several others have since liked the comment to concur.
Another shared that doing reformer pilates had helped them overcome an injury: "Six weeks ago, this fixed my disc problem in my back," they wrote.
Carol's not the only celeb joining the reformer pilates ranks, either. Adele says it helped her transform her body, while Robbie Williams' wife Ayda Field practises on the reformer machine almost daily, while Rochelle Humes and Lisa Snowdon have all been pictured at a reformer pilates studio.
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex also previously touted reformer pilates as one of the "best things you can do for your body".
