Pilates ab workout #2 – The Roll Up
The roll up Pilates ab workout can be one of the toughest beginner level exercise to almost every one. This is mainly due to our poor abdominal strength. However it is the best Pilates ab workout you can find for achieving flat and toned abs. The roll up challenges every part of your abs muscles in unison and also improve your core muscles. The Roll up Pilate’s abs workout has been proven that it is a lot more effective than normal crunches and sits up.

Step 1 – Lie on an exercise mat on your back. Straighten your legs fully with your arm placed beside your hips. Take a few deep breathe and make sure that you are breathing normally. Next, straighten your both arms and bring it backward behind your head so that your fingers are facing behind. This will be the starting position.

Step 2 – Slowly inhale and bring your both hands above your head slowly so that your fingers are facing above the ceiling. Then as your hands are above your head, slowly curl up your upper spine while keeping your chin down.

Step 3 – As you curl up your upper spine, exhale slowly and tighten your abs muscles. As you exhale, further curl your body up so that your upper back is off the mat. Do it in a slowly yet controlled manner. Then try to reach out to your toes by rounding your back and keeping your legs straighten. Stay in the position for 2 seconds with short breathe in and breathe out.

Step 4 – Inhale deeply and slowly lower your back in a controlled manner by pulling in your abs. Your hand should still be in the straighten position as your body slowly curl down to the mat. Do take note that your legs are straighten and in touch with the mat at all time without letting it fly up.

Step 5 – Once you are about half way lowering down to the mat, exhale slowly and continue lowering your back little by little. As your shoulder blade touches the mat, lay your head slowly on the mat and straighten your arm backward to the starting position.

Step 6 – Do a repetition of not more than 8 times per set. This is because if you do the roll up in a correct way, you will definitely feel the effect by the 6 repetition.
