Pilates Abs

If you’re like me, you’re probably not a really big fan of sit ups and crunches.  They’re awkward.

Pilates is similar to yoga with the benefits it offers.  Pilates requires use of your abs for proper posture and for breathing, however, instead of remaining stable, you move your arms and legs around.

This is actually just as beneficial for your abs because you have to use them to keep your body still while your arms and legs are in motion.  Natural movement would have your torso move, but your abs and back muscles work to keep it stable.

Even though Pilates constantly works your abs, there are specific exercises you can do to target these areas.  These will give you the extra boost you need for more dramatic results.

Pilates cannot be learned overnight; however, once you begin to practice it, you will get an abs workout like never before without even thinking about crunches.
