A Pilates Workout - Double Leg Stretch ..... it burns fat in your lower abs!


By Jessica Gan


A. Float your legs to 90 degrees tabletop position. 

B. Inhale through your nose. Exhale through pursed lips. As you exhale, contract your abs and "melt" that belly into the mat, slowly raise your neck. Keep the flexion without stressing it.

C. In the stationary position with your hands by the side of your legs, exhale again as you extend your limbs out. Think of lower abs here!

D. Repeat 10 reps.

If your neck is still getting stronger, you may also do the version with neck on the mat. The important thing is to avoid bobbing the neck.

The closer your legs are to the mat, the more you challenge yourself. Always keep your spine imprinted to that mat.

If you have knee pain and cannot jump around, yet need to lose lower abs adipose tissue; this can be a great option for you. In pilates (as in life), there are always options. Have a beautiful and fit life!
