How to get Killer Abs

April 15th, 2008

Swimsuit season is rapidly approaching! For some of you it’s already here! So its definitely time to shape up that midsection. The most effective way to do this is by doing the criss-cross! This excercise is the quintessential Pilates ab sculptor because it strongly challenges all aspects of the core at once.

To do the criss-cross forst you lie on back with left knee bent towards chest and right leg extended up off floor. Place hands behind head. Curl head, neck, and shoulders up off floor. Rotate from middle so that right shoulder is pointing towards left knee. Hold one breath then slowly rotate to other side by bending right knee and extending left leg as left elbow moves towards right knee. Continue alternating to complete set. Repeat 6 to 8 times on each side.

Keep it up for some killer abs this summer!
