PILATES EXERCISES FOR WEIGHT LOSS, core stability & postural alignment. This helps in getting flat belly & stronger back. PILATES is an excellent form of exercise to flatten your belly making your body firmer! If you are looking at a workout regime for strong core then don’t think twice because Pilates is the exercise for you! Pilates is essentially related to core strength. The benefits of core strength are much beyond  developing flat abdominals, but the flat abs are due to performing Pilates exercises that have made this form of workout called Pilates so popular today.  Shall we start? A tougher torso is equal to a better back. That's the reason why those with chronic lower back pain who practiced Pilates for just four weeks, felt immense relief than those who visited a doctor or a specialist. By stabilizing the core's lumbar-pelvic (lower-back) region, Pilates alleviates stress on the core's lumbar- pelvic area and enhances mobility.  # Some of the exercises shown in this interesting video are as follows: * Breathing Exercise: Deep breathing is a vital part of Pilates exercise. It is not just inhaling, but also you must make a great effort to exhale thoroughly to rid of every bit of stale air from the lungs and allow fresh, air to rush in.  * Breathing Lying Down: This is best practiced when lying down as you have sufficient space to breathe.  The benefits that we receive from this exercise are that posture improves.  Good breathing helps to strengthen the curves of the spine. Our torso muscles are worked upon.  * Breathing with Arm Circles: This exercise opens the chest and shoulders and tones the arms and upper back. It is importantly meant for the back of the arms, the triceps. This is an area that begins to sag after weight loss or as we age.  * The Hips Roll: The hip roll is very effective to strengthen your gluts, hamstrings and improves articulation of the spine.  * The Hundreds is another fantastic exercise. This method of exercise is no exception. It is known to be a warm up exercise and challenges your abs and your breathing coordination. It aids in circulating the blood throughout your body to prepare you for the forthcoming workout.  * The Prone warm up exercise tightens and strengthens the back of the legs (hamstrings and gluts) and improves hip extension. Bear in mind to keep your abdominal muscles drawn in to protect the lower back and alleviate tension.  * The Cat warm up Benefits : the cat stretch will stimulate your spine and warms up the muscles of your shoulders, neck and abdomen.  * The Shoulder warm up benefits: This warm up aids in better movement, improves strength and flexibility and reduces risk of injury.  It also improves posture and upper spine mobility.  * The Roll over is a great challenge for the abdominal muscles, and is also known as one of the Pilates flat abs exercises. It will give your back and hamstrings a good stretch, and makes your abdominal muscles work very hard as well.  * Lengthening of Spine ideally helps every segment of the spine to move freely and easily in all directions. The real goal of spine extension is to make the entire spine active.  Practicing extension exercises also aids in stretching and lengthening through the front of the body.  * The Double leg stretch Stretches and tones the abdominal muscles. In the true sense, you develop stamina, poise and become more agile.  * The Scissors Hold is yet again a very effective workout. The Scissors is an exercise that strengthens the abdominal muscles and increases hamstring flexibility.  * Leg raises variations lifts in Pilates Exercise is used to get rid of excess fat around the waist. It works on the hamstrings, quads, gluts, abs and obliques.  * The Fold push is a powerful exercise that strengthens the muscles of the entire body. Similarly, the Step up is a powerful exercise that works on many lower-body muscles.  * The step-up workout is quite a demanding one that works on the abdominal region and legs. Pilates also offers you the needle point exercise that tightens the abdomen. * The balancing cat is an interesting exercise that helps your body to maintain balance and coordination throughout any workout session. * The twist is a challenging exercise in Pilates that strengthens your abs and core. * The knee circle is a fun exercise that is easy to do and provide flexibility to the joints that many of us lack in. The single leg lift or the alternate leg lifts are both great exercises for the abdominal area that should be tried out. Flaunt a fabulous body with Pilates!
