@pilates.by.cat: Save this for a flat stomach ✨ After 20 years of teaching Pilates, one thing I wish more women knew is that you don’t need endless crunches to strengthen your deep core and work towards a flatter stomach. It’s about activating the right muscles and moving with control. Your TA runs horizontally across your abdomen, acting like a natural corset. Strengthening it helps support your stomach and draw your waist in from the inside out. 🤍 This is one of my favourite 15-minute routines to target your deep abdominals, strengthen your waist and build stability throughout your entire core. All you need is a mat and two dumbbells, or you can do the whole series without weights. ✨ Try this 15-minute at-home routine: ✨ Scissor Reach x12 ✨ Leg Extensions x12 ✨ Roll Back Rotations x12 ✨ Twists x12 🤍 Repeat for 4 rounds I’m using 3kg (6.6lb) dumbbells and 1kg (2.2lb) ankle weights, but both are completely optional. You can do the entire workout using just your body weight, making it perfect for home or when you’re travelling. Keep your pelvis steady, ribs gently connected and focus on slow, controlled movements. Your deep core should be working to stabilise your spine as your arms and legs move away from your body. ✨ ✨ Flatter stomach ✨ Snatched waist ✨ Stronger deep core No endless crunches. No gym. No Reformer. Just 15 minutes on your mat. 🤍 Save this for your next at-home Pilates workout and follow for more real Pilates that gets results. ✨ #Pilates #AtHomePilates #DeepCore #AbWorkout #PilatesInstructor
