20 Minute Mat Workout

Wednesday, April 08 2026

Poolfit is a water exercise app, but sometimes you can’t get in the pool and so each year we strive to film at least three low-impact fitness workouts to grow our in-home exercise video library. Mat Strength and Stretch features Jackie Lebeau instructing 20 minutes of muscle conditioning and stretching, all performed on the floor.

Jackie is a self-declared water baby.  Before she could walk, she was enrolled in baby & me swim lessons with her dad. She grew up competing on various swim teams, teaching swim lessons, life guarding, and playing water polo. She started teaching aquatic exercise classes in high school and then obtained her water fitness certification in college. Fitness has that snowball effect and soon after her certification the Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA), she pursued land-based group certification, personal training certification, and yoga certification. Jackie is currently the fitness director for the University of Virginia and a training specialist with AEA.

Mat Strength and Stretch is a workout that can be easily performed in your home. If you have carpet, you don’t even need a mat. Additionally, you can use cans from the pantry in place of dumbbells. Poolfit’s in-home workouts are all low or non-impact, with a focus on cardio, muscle conditioning, joint mobility and stretching.

Poolfit extends a big thank you to Jackie for once again sharing her class content with subscribers and for returning to Florida to film for the 5th time. Jackie first filmed in 2016 and was one of the first video presenters to film for Poolfit and Fitmotivation. Check out her extensive library of Poolfit videos and look for her to return for more filming in 2027.
