Abs Pilates Workout For A Flat Tummy

 




The beauty of Pilates is that it really does shrink-wrap your core. Pilates concentrates on the deepest layer of abdominals—the transversus—which acts like an inner girdle. I often remind my students to scoop their abs in and up, or to imagine wearing a corset or zipping up a tight pair of jeans. As you do each one of these exercises keep the sensation of hollowing out your lower abdominals and knitting your front ribs together.

Pilates also helps you connect your mind and body and you'll start to listen to your true hunger cues. You'll naturally crave healthier foods and only eat until you're satisfied, not stuffed. Bring on the bikini!

Do these moves three to five times a week for a flat belly in no time.

Double-Leg Straight-Leg Stretch
Lie on your back with your legs extended straight up to the ceiling and your heels together toes slightly turned out in a Pilates V stance. Place your hands behind your head elbows wide and lift your head and neck up. Keep your head lifted and slowly lower and lift your legs straight down and up (only as low as you can go without letting the back arch off the mat). Inhale to lower and exhale to lift. Repeat 8 to 10 times. Then relax your head back to the mat.
