Linda Farrell: The Pilates 100, targets those deep abdominal muscles, the one that synch the waist in and flatten the belly. Let's start on the back, we'll bring the knees into the next and will pull to navel the spine. We'll stretch up through the back, curl the head and the neck; we'll lift the arms up and will bring the legs to a 90-degree angle. Here we go. Inhale, two, three, four, five, and we exhale pulling navel to the spine for another five pumps and continue.
Now, for the beginners, you can put the neck and the head down and continue pumping. And, for more advanced, you can solely straighten the legs and deepen those abdominals keeping that belly flat, the navel pull to the spine, and then we'll finish will bend the knees into the chest and will release the spine. That exercise can be done for a total of 10 repetitions, which you can stop at any time.
Remember, on the inhale breath, we do five pumps and on exhale breath, we do five pumps, that makes once repetition and we try to do the entire exercise for upto 10 repetitions. Now, for other great belly flattening exercises please go to prevention.com/fitness.
