Blog: Muscle Pulled Ribcage

Unlike traditional sit-ups and crunches, which increase strength but create thick and bunchy muscles and only target certain abdominal muscle groups, these adapted Pilates exercises create long, flat, and supple muscles, strengthening core muscle groups and improving overall flexibility and balance.

This ten minute abs routine can done before or after an aerobic workout or as part of a longer Pilates routine. Remember to warm up and stretch before attempting the exercises to improve performance and avoid injury.

Pilates Routine Position One: The Plank

Begin by lying flat on the stomach on an exercise or yoga mat. Resting the elbows upon the mat, lift up onto the elbows and toes with the arms shoulder-width apart so that the body forms a straight, horizontal "plank" at a uniform level from the ground. The shoulders should be squared and directly aligned with the elbows and the feet should be slightly closely together.
