You clean up your diet to lose weight, now do the same for your workout. Those mindless crunches you can crank out for minutes at a time are the "junk" in your ab routine. If you can get past 25 reps of any move, you're probably not engaging your middle muscles. I'm not saying crunchesare bad, but you will need to do a variety of moves-with focus and intensity-to flatten and firm your belly. The exercises in pilates will do the job right by targeting the muscles from all angles.
Anatomy Lesson:
Your abs include four muscle groups that work together. To flex your spine, you use the rectus abdominis. Twist or stabilize your torso and your external and internal obliques along the sides of your middle kick in. The transverse abdominis compresses your midsection and engages when your obliques do.
Flattening your middle is a three-step process. You have to eat healthy, do cardio, and work your abs.
Can't wait to help you get started on strengthen your core and helping you to flatten and firm your belly!

In good health, Kelly.

Why I {Heart} Pilate's and Why I believe in it!
Pilates is very effective. Within weeks of starting, you will have better posture, tones muscles, a flatter stomach, and looser, more flexible joints. I feel strong. And feel feminine. Pilates has helped me gain strength and flexibility without bulking up.
It has changed my body. I have toned where I never thought I could tone. It connects my mind and body. Makes me stand taller and feel longer. In everyday life my body feels better. It is something that will help me now and for the rest of my life. And I can do these exercises throughout my life. Pilates gives you lifelong benefits. Pilates teaches your body how to move correctly even when you are not exercising. Pilates is a great antidote to the stresses of everyday life. You won't be able to think about anything else during a Pilates session apart from the movements that you are making. After exercising you shouldn't ache or feel tired. Your joints will be looser-and there is a sense of calm that comes from the flowing rhythm of the exercises.
