Save this to flatten the stomach ✨ I’ve been teaching Pilates for 20 years, and this is what my clients and I use when we’re travelling. 🤍 All you need is two towels. Roll them tightly inside each other and you’ve created an easy alternative to a foam roller that you can use almost anywhere. Just like the foam roller, the towels help you find a more neutral position through the spine. In this position, we can better engage the deep core (TA), and as this muscle strengthens, it helps flatten the stomach and tighten the waist from the inside out. ✨ Try this: ✨ Mini Scissors ×12 ✨ Leg Extensions ×12 ✨ Double Toe Taps ×12 🤍 Complete 4 rounds Keep the movements slow and controlled, keep the pelvis steady and think about gently drawing the lower abdominals in as the legs move away from you. ✨ Watch the linked Reel, Part 2, to see exactly where to position the towels underneath your pelvis. Save this for your next workout or your next trip, and follow for Pilates that actually works. 🤍 #Pilates #DeepCore #FlatStomach #PilatesWorkout #CoreWorkout
