Pilates that starts with how you feel

Home Pilates for the day you're actually having

Answer a few quick questions about how you feel, and you'll get a session that matches your mood and your energy today, whether that means letting off steam, steadying yourself or something gentle. Three minutes always counts.

Try today's check-inFree, about thirty seconds, and no sign-up.

Think about the last plan you stopped

It probably asked for the same workout five days a week, as if every day would feel the same. Then came a long day at work, a bad night's sleep or a sore back, and the plan stayed exactly as it was. So you skipped a session, felt guilty about it, and after a few of those it was easier to stop.

That happens to most people, because most plans are written for your best day. Moodmat works the other way round, so it asks how you're feeling first and then gives you a session you can manage today. Moving becomes a way of looking after yourself, head and body together, and a short day never has to feel like failing.

Which one sounds like today?

Some days you need to let off steam, some days you need to feel steady again, and some days you need something gentle. The check-in asks about more than your mood, but this is where most days start.

Tired

You feel heavy and you're running on empty, so you get something slow and restoring, mostly lying down.

Stressed

Your body is tight and your head won't stop, so you shake it out first and then steady yourself with long breaths out.

Flat

Nothing's wrong, but nothing's pulling you either, so you get something small and a bit different that's easy to start.

Energised

You feel good and you're up for it, so you get something strong to burn off some energy, and you still finish with a bit left in the tank.

How a day works

1
Check in
A few quick questions about how your body feels, what your head is doing, what you'd like from today, where you are and how long you've got. They're different every day.
2
Get your day card
It names your kind of day, picks the session and tells you which of your answers led there. There's always a three-minute version, and it counts in full.
3
Say how it felt
Too much, just right, or you could have done more. Next time a day like that comes round, the pick adjusts.

A different check-in every day

Each day of the week has its own check-in, and each one comes in three versions, so the questions stay fresh. Whichever one you get, it finds out the same things, and your session depends on all of your answers together.

Free things to keep on the fridge

Simple printables for the everyday side of looking after yourself: what to buy, how to put a plate together, when to move and when to rest, and a calm way to reset on a Sunday. They're made to live on the fridge, where you'll actually see them.

When you'd like more than three minutes

The Moodmat Year builds each day's session in any length from three minutes to forty-five, and the longer ones are put together like a class. Around it there are six programmes that bend around your days, progress you can see without a streak to keep, and a plate for every kind of day. It's €49 for a whole year, paid once, and you can try a week first for €9.

Questions

Is it a subscription?

No. The check-in and the library are free, and the Year is one payment of €49 for a year. Nothing renews, so you're only charged again if you choose another year.

Do I need to be fit or flexible?

Not at all. Every move has an easier option, and the gentle sessions are mostly lying down.

What do I need?

A mat or a towel, a bit of floor and a wall. Some days you can even do it in bed or on a chair, and the check-in asks where you are.

How long are the sessions?

The free check-in gives you three minutes, and you can go through them as many times as you like. In the Year, every day card comes in three, ten, twenty, thirty or forty-five minutes.

What if I miss a day?

Then the next day is a three-minute day. There's nothing to catch up on and nothing to start again.

If today is a tired day, that's a perfectly good day to start.

The Moodmat Year

A year of Pilates that starts with how you are

Every day you answer a few quick questions, and Moodmat builds the session for that day in any length from three minutes to forty-five. Around it there are programmes that bend when life gets in the way, progress you can see without a streak to keep, and a plate for every kind of day. It's €49 for the whole year, paid once, and nothing renews.

Start your year for €49 Try a week for €9

One payment, and nothing renews.

What's in the Year

Everything starts from the daily check-in, which stays free for everyone. The Year is everything built around it.

A session built for today, in any length. Three, ten, twenty, thirty or forty-five minutes. The longer ones are put together like a class, with time to arrive, a warm-up, one or two main blocks and a slow landing, and at the end of each part you can stop and it still counts.
The check-in, with a bonus question. Twenty-one versions that rotate so the weeks feel different, and one extra question a day, such as what you've got nearby, what's sore from the last few days or how sweaty you're willing to get. Your answers shape the longer sessions too.
Six programmes that bend. Four weeks each, for strength at home, the core and posture, long days at a desk, a busy head, coming back after a break, or building the habit. When the check-in says today isn't the day for the planned session, it swaps in a kinder one and moves the planned one later in the week.
Progress without streaks. Your album of day cards, the days you moved this month (three minutes counts), a ladder of five steps for the main moves, and a short review at the end of each month.
Food that fits the day. A simple plate for every day card, and the grocery list that goes with your week.
Your week, planned. Tell it your busy days once, and it lays the 3-2-1 week around them, with reminders at a time you choose if you'd like them.
The move library. Every move with a short cue, an easier and a harder option, and where you can do it: on the floor, in bed, on a chair or standing up.
New things through the year. Four seasonal drops with new check-ins, a new programme and new day cards, included in your year.

Look inside the Year

From three minutes to forty-five

Every length comes from the same day card, so a short session and a long one feel like the same kind of day. The longer ones give you more time to arrive at the start and more time to land at the end.

The pace comes from your check-in. On a gentle day a strength move is six slow repetitions, on a steady day it's eight to ten, lowering for three seconds, and on a strong day it's ten to twelve, lowering for four. Every move has an easier option, and in the Year a harder one as well.

Six programmes that bend

Each one runs for four weeks and tells you what you'll practise and how the weeks build. None of them promises a result. When your check-in says today isn't the day for the planned session, Moodmat gives you the one that fits and moves the planned one to later in the week.

A week inside the Year

Say you're following Strong at Home. On Monday you tell the check-in that your head is busy and your shoulders are stiff. Monday was down as a strength day, so Moodmat gives you a shake-it-off day for twenty minutes and moves the strength session to Tuesday.

On Tuesday you pick the strong answers in this or that, choose forty-five minutes, and get the full strength session with a slow landing at the end. On Thursday the bonus question asks whether anything is sore, you tap your legs, and both strength blocks work your upper body and your middle instead.

Progress you can see, without a streak

Every check-in adds its day card to your album, so after a month you can see which kinds of day you have most and what suited them. The calendar marks the days you moved, and three minutes counts as a full day, so there's no streak to break.

The main moves each have a ladder of five steps. When you tell Moodmat you could have done more twice on the same move, it offers you the next step, and at the end of each month you get a short review with one thing to try next.

Who it's for

It's for you if you'd like to move most days without a fixed plan to fall behind on, if your days and your energy change a lot, and if you'd like sessions that can be longer when you've got the time.

It's probably not for you if you're after high-intensity training or a diet, or if you need a programme made for an injury or a health condition.

Why it's built this way

How a session feels while you're doing it is one of the better predictors of whether people keep exercising. In one well-known study, people who felt better during a moderate session were more active six and twelve months later (Williams and colleagues, 2008). A session that fits your day tends to feel better than one that fights it, so the Year is built to fit. I can't promise what it will do for you, and I won't pretend to. What I can do is make it easy to start, easy to come back to, and easy to make longer when you'd like more.

Questions about the Year

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and get a full year. Nothing renews, and you're only charged again if you choose another year.

What stays free?

The daily check-in with its three-minute session and the printables stay free for everyone. The Year adds the longer sessions, the bonus questions, the programmes, your progress, the food and the move library.

How long are the sessions?

You choose each day: three, ten, twenty, thirty or forty-five minutes. At the end of each part you can stop, and it still counts.

What do I need at home?

A mat or a towel, a bit of floor and a wall. A chair and two filled water bottles are useful for some strength moves, and the check-in sometimes asks what you've got nearby.

I'm a beginner. Is that all right?

Yes. Back to Moving is made for beginners and for coming back after a long break. Every move has a short cue and an easier option, and the gentle sessions are mostly lying down.

What if I miss a few days?

Then you carry on when you're ready. Programmes move along with you, and there's nothing to catch up on.

Do I need an account?

You sign in with a link sent to your email, so there's no password to remember. Your answers stay on your phone unless you choose to keep them in sync across your devices.

Is it medical advice?

No, it's general wellbeing guidance. If you're pregnant, have recently had a baby, are injured or are managing a health condition, please check with a professional first.

Whatever kind of day it is, you can start from there.

Buying the Moodmat Year or the Week

From 4 January, payments are handled by a payment provider, named here before sales open, which sells to you as the seller of record and takes care of the payment, the VAT and your receipt. I receive your name, email address, what you bought and your country, and never your card details. The legal basis is our contract, and purchase records are kept for five years, as Danish bookkeeping law requires. Signing in to the Year uses a sign-in service, named here before sales open, which stores your email address and the dates of your access.

The legal basis is my legitimate interest in running a safe site and knowing which pages are useful. The fonts are stored on this site, so no font service sees your visit.

Cookies

Moodmat uses no cookies for tracking or advertising. The check-in keeps your progress in your browser, as described above, only so the site works the way you'd expect.

Terms

Last updated 2 November 2026

These terms cover mood-mat.com, the free check-in and printables, and, from 4 January, the Moodmat Year and the Moodmat Week. Here they are in plain words.

Company details

[legal name], [address] (CVR [number]), hello@mood-mat.com.

What Moodmat is

Moodmat offers general wellbeing information: movement sessions based on Pilates, food ideas and everyday habits. It isn't medical advice and doesn't replace a doctor, physio or midwife. If you're pregnant, have recently had a baby, are injured or are managing a health condition, please check with a professional before you start, and leave out any move that hurts.

The free check-in and printables

They're free for your own personal use. Please don't sell them or publish them as your own, and if you'd like to share one, share the link.

The Moodmat Year and the Moodmat Week

The Year costs €49 and gives you twelve months of access, starting the day you first sign in. The Week costs €9 and gives you seven days, starting with your first check-in. Each is one payment, the prices include VAT, and nothing renews by itself.

Payment is handled by a payment provider, named here before sales open, which sells the product to you as the seller of record, so its checkout terms apply to the payment as well.

Your right to cancel

Under EU and Danish law you normally have 14 days to change your mind about an online purchase. Because the Year and the Week give you access straight away, the checkout asks you to agree that access starts immediately and that the 14-day right then ends, so a purchase can't be refunded once your access has started. If something doesn't work as it should, write to hello@mood-mat.com and I'll put it right, and your legal rights for faulty digital content still apply.

Videos made with AI

Some of the videos and pictures are made with AI, and they're labelled where they appear. The moves they show are ordinary mat exercises.

Taking part

I take care to keep the sessions sensible, but you know your body best, so please go at your own pace and use your own judgement. Nothing in these terms limits your rights as a consumer under Danish law.

Changes and disagreements

If I change these terms, the date at the top changes too, and the terms you agreed to when you bought something still apply to that purchase. Danish law applies. If something goes wrong, please write to me first, and if we can't sort it out together, you can complain to Nævnenes Hus at naevneneshus.dk.
