Pilates Abs 2

WHAT IT IS

This quick Pilates-inspired workout introduces you to ab workouts using a stability ball. The stability ball helps improve your balance and core engagement as you balance on top of it to do your workout. This Pilates core workout with stability ball is filled with moves to lengthen and tone your body.

Engaging the transverse abdominis, which is the low ab muscle that is the key to achieving more sculpted abs, you’ll learn the basics of Pilates, proper form, and how to see results from this Pilates core workout with stability ball.

THE MOVES

This Pilates core workout with stability ball introduces you to moves such as reverse curls, back extensions, hands to feet ball pass, and roll-outs. These moves will make the minutes fly by while you still feel the burn as you sculpt stronger, leaner abs. Even if you don’t have a stability ball, modifications can be made and the moves can be performed on the mat. If you have 10 minutes, you have enough time to perform this effective, engaging Pilates core workout with stability ball.

WHY PILATES?

The benefits of Pilates are incredible: not only does it help you strengthen your core, but it helps you create flatter abs and strengthen your back muscles. The back is a neglected part of the core body and strengthening its muscles can help you avoid injury from other workouts or day-to-day movements. Pilates can act as a complement to other workouts you do, but it’s also perfect on its own to lengthen those muscles and strengthen and tone your core. Strengthen your core and build better abs in this 10-minute Pilates core workout with stability ball.

All exercises you perform are your own responsibility and you perform them at your own risk. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider before starting any physical exercise, fitness or wellness regiments of any kind.
