The Pilates Twist is a great antidote to any weight gain you might be experiencing in your middle, post holiday season. The Twist will definitely whittle your waist since it targets the abdominals, especially your internal and external obliques.
Watch it, then try it.
I am always looking for balance in my life and if you are too, here is an exercise for you. It is known as Balance Point.
MOVE 1:
Sit on the ground with your knees bent with your hands behind your knees. 
Since it is Thanksgiving week and everything is a little topsy turvy (a 3 day work week, lots of food, Black Friday) I thought I would show you a plank flipped over and reversed.
Sit with your legs out straight in front of you and place your hands behind you with finger tips toward your bum. Your shoulders will no longer be over your pelvis. 
This Pilates move will work your backside, toning your hamstrings and glutes. Lie on your back with your arms resting by your sides and your knees bent and heels in line with your sits bones (yep, those bones that you feel on your bottom when you're sitting). Using your legs press your pelvis up into a bridge. RSS Feed
