Try Pilates For Killer Summer Abs

>> April 18, 2008

Are you working hard to get your body ready for summer? I am. But, if you're like me, you may bore of doing the same workout routine day-in and day-out. I've been doing the 8-minute abs workout, but it's time for something new. I went in search of that 'something' this morning and I found a Pilates workout that is just like the class I love to take at our local gym! While I was debating about posting it, I read at Health Nut Wannabee Mom's Blog, that, "Drew Barrymore prefers to burn calories with a workout that includes Pilates," and Diet-Blog.com is reporting that "core training is one of the top 10 fitness trends of 2008." Reading these posts confirmed to me that this was definitely something my readers might find useful. I'm only posting this one video, but if you visit YouTube.com, you'll find others that are related. Be sure to check out 10 min pilates sculpting-full, for a Pilates workout that will also tone your arms; and 10 min pilates bum & thighs-full, to work you glutes and legs. Remember to keep your tummy pulled in tight the entire workout. I've found that Pilates, when done correctly, never seems to get easy. You can always work on improving your form. If you've never done Pilates before, you'll be sore!

Pilates are tough, for me that is. I'm still working on strengthening my core, along with everything else! ;)

I agree, if you do them right, they sure can be tough... as long as you do them right and don't cheat! :-)
