Pilates For Starters
Losing weight is a tough task if you wish to reduce inches from a particular part of the body, it gets tougher. It is disheartening and disappointing when even after spending loads of money and hours in the gym, you just cannot get into your favorite dress because of your protruding tummy.
What you don't know is that without even going to the gym, or spending a lot of money on anything else, you choose your workout right.
The best exercises for a slim waistline through Pilates are:
1
· Place your left hand on the right ankle and raise your right arm straight up in the air
· Reach out toward the ceiling as far as possible and then to the left
· Relax and repeat it 10 times for both sides.
· Exhale and curl your chin to your chest with your shoulders totally off the mat
· Repeat it 10 times
· Point your toes, squeeze the heels, and extend your legs straight up to about 45°
· Raise your head, neck, shoulders, and upper back off the mat
· Pump arms up and down while breathing in (5 times) and out (5 times) through the mouth
· Perform 10 sets
· Exhale, curl chin to chest and roll up to a sitting position with arms reaching towards the feet
· Hold the position for 5 seconds
· Repeat 10 times
5. ROLL LIKE A BALL - Bring your knees to the chest, and wrap your arms around the legs
· Rock forward until your tailbone touches the floor, and your feet are about a few inches above the floor
·
