Leah thinks that a tonned body and physical strength depend on a strong core. Her Pilates program is meant to help with balance and posture in addition to flattening your abs.
“Pilates has helped me see exercise differently,” Leah says. “It’s all about slow, under control motions that really target your muscles.”
1. The reasons HIIT works
Leah’s Pilates program calls for plank, leg circles, and the Hundred among other exercises. “These exercises really help to strengthen your deep core muscles,” she says. “They work muscles traditional crunches sometimes overlook.”
Leah advises beginning each exercise with 10 repetitions and gradually increasing as your strength grows.
2. Control is absolutely crucial.
Control is among the key elements of Pilates. “Pilates is not about speed,” Leah notes. “It’s about moving deliberately and slowly, emphasizing on your form.”
She counsels novices to concentrate on keeping good alignment and controlled breathing, which will help them more fully engage their core.
3. Include Resistance for Additional Challenge
Leah advises including little weights or resistance bands in your Pilates practice as you advance to increase the difficulty. “A little opposition can go a long way in helping you build strength,” she says.
4. Maintain Constantness
Leah stresses on Pilates the need of constancy. “Even just twenty minutes a day can make a big difference,” she notes. A few times a week Pilates will help you to start to see a flatter, more toned core.
Leah’s Pilates method is basic yet powerful; it will help you get strong, sculpted abs without hours at the gym.
