The 5 Best Pilates Exercises for a Toned Core

If your goal is a toned core and strong abs, Pilates is the perfect choice! Pilates exercises focus on your center, helping you achieve stability, flexibility, and sculpted abs. Here are the 5 best Pilates exercises to help you reach your goal.

A classic Pilates move that activates the abs and builds endurance. Lie on your

back, lift your legs at a 45-degree angle, and pump your arms while breathing in

and out.

The plank is an excellent full-body exercise with a focus on the core. Support your

body on your elbows and toes, keeping your spine aligned.

Benefits: Strengthens the abs, shoulders, and lower back.

3. Roll-Up

This exercise strengthens the abs and improves spinal flexibility. Lie on your back,

stretch your arms overhead, and slowly lift your body to a seated position.

4. Leg Circles

Lie on your back and lift one leg in the air. Make circular motions while keeping

your torso stable.
