Killer Pilates Ab Workout

[miachicca1]

Once you have done the workout, you will know first hand what the definition of "burn" is.Great video!!:)

[lolzilla11]

This really is a great workout, you really feel it the next day even in little places like the muscles between your ribs! I do it 3 times a week along with 14 minutes of my exercise hula hoop (which I do everyday) those two things combined keep my stomach looking amazing!

[5unFi5h]

Ahhhh not kidding about the killer....

[CovingtonAA]

it seems so easy but its not lol :) i love it though!

[ssm466]

Omgee i was really feeling the burn!! lol this is killer!!!

lovee it. <33



[hithere21312]

[TheAbStand]

WOW -- seriously a killer workout!

[michaelcleaver3]

omg fit! <3

[yadiaries79]

Im making this vidd my workout for the next couple of months. Im really liking the fact that you dont have to do crunches that are way difficult. It is much easier for me to do this workout =)

[KaiteyGirl123]

@yadiaries79 completely agree. im on my way to becoming a personal trainer and i know for a fact that crunches can do more harm than they can help. did u know that crunches are actually bad for you because they make so ur abdominal muscles arent very flexible. lol thats also a reason y they are so painful. just make sure ur doing a lot of stretching. i work out cuz im only 5'2'' n weigh 110 lbs. so i feel the need to put on some muscle to look more intimidating lol :3

[WarrenEdwardBuffet]

WarrenEdwardBuffett loves this! Thumbs up!

[allah12311]

in and out in and out in and out in and out in and out ahh yehh baby in and out ahhhhh loool

[sollybolly]

These are the same moves as in winsor pilates..almost exact..

[livvyworthen13]

this works i have been doing it for 3 days and my stomach already feels stronger and even on the first day i did it my stomach was hurting i love this

[gailadams1]

I'm STOTT trained and this is not real pilates at all. No pelvic, shoulder, leg stabilisation. Embarrassing to our training. and its dangerous and the way its done will not work deep abs just outside global muscles

[strfergy]

i absolutely love pilates! i do it at least 3 times a week after my regular workout. then thew rest of the week i do my workout with cardio. it relaxes me and i fing the positions very comfortable soe of them i can just lay there and hold it for like 10-15 minutes

[Krustbox]

Search "Ab Workouts" on Krustbox (dot) com

[tigrajane]

how to avoid pain in the neck??

[gailadams1]

support your head by putting your hands behind your head but be sure not to pull on your neck. Just weak neck flexors. I'm STOTT PILATES trained this woman wouldn't know a pilates principal if she tried. Try a beginner STOTT dvd

[shredmeisterflex]

well wat you also wanna do is make sure your diet fits your workout program. so if you wanna slim down and get abs, start with taking most carb-based foods out of your dialy diet. also make sure you do PLENTY of cardio for at least 30 minutes a day. again this is only you intend on losing the fat you have. you can stop ease up on the diet when you reach your desired physique

[xXxSmileformeeXxx]

i weigh about 120 and am like 5,3 feet tall and i keep reading that with pilates you will get abs under your fat i dont think i am too fat but i want to get thinner will this help or will this only make me stronger :/?

[soon2bfamous333]

i do 30 min of regular workout a day if i add this 3 times a week how long about before i get abs?

[Camitwentyfive]

way too hard for me so i bent my legs or kept them higher. still does the trick just not as much!

[GirlBewildered]

I felt major burn in my abs!! :) However; I felt it killed my neck! :(

[NotFromValetta]

When I do this I feel it more in my back than in my abs, what can I do to change that?

[bballman196]

i have that same problem

[JonnyElectric215]

it might be from letting your lower back come off of the ground. when you do that you increase the stress on your back and decrease the stress on your abs. try to concentrate on keeping your entire lower back firmly on the mat for the workout. it might help!

[gailadams1]

DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE A BAD BACK DON;T DO IT. The Hundred, Double Leg Stretch, Double Leg Lower she says take your legs as low as you can. What she should have said is take them high and then if you don't start arching (in other words coming out of a neutral spine position) then you can start to lower but the levels shown are extremely advanced and could easily hurt your back. Listen to lower back for arching with all moves, for rib cage flaring, tummy doming. 30% abdominal connection

[thenewsupermariobro]

i was somewhat fat and instead of jogging i lifted weight and i lost wight and now i have abs :o

[fierogt17]

you need cardio exercise to burn belly fat, your muscles will get toned but they will still be covered.

[fierogt17]

yes dance is a good cardio workout, so just dance and do this work out and her other work out "lower ab routine" and you'll have a nice flat tummy .

[faro0485]

No... dancing without a warm up (including stretches) will cause injury.

/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=MN5xJr­-LpKI

This pilate workout above will burn more fat than cardio.

[jkoreosrock]

definately as long as you it's like not a light dancing but involving your whole body at a fast pace

[misskali001]

reply to riana718-

yes dancing is great cardio! how do you think dancers get such killer bodies? (:

[LiveOutLoud89]

It won't burn your belly fat but strength building exercises promote muscle growth which in turn raises your metabolic rate and helps u burn more fat in general

[brianlara55555]

u will get abs underneath ur fat.. u need to do cardio to burn fat

[LosGordoz3000]

damn she is fine

[CamaRo0sa]

im 5'0 and 120lbs. i feel like i need to lose about 10 pounds, will this help me lose weight...?

[Arekkessu]

No if u want to lose weight u must do cardio, u could get rock hard abs but they wont show with fat over them.

[armsofdelmar]

best ab video on youtube by far!

[chrissylm37]

If Icould tuck my knees to my chest I would be able to do this exercise....lol

[veLvetroZe01]

good but too much stress on the neck:(

[XheartbrokenXTeddy]

OMG i love it but i almost died! lol amazing.

[sophiebrooke]

abs***

[sophiebrooke]

Haha I have realized that my abs isn't as good in shape as I thought .. Gonna keep doing this!

[CaptainJenna7]

not very killer

[ASHsOrange]

this is a killer video very good in my opinion really got me sweating!

[lover1745]

I suck at this!! I really tried but i can't feel anything... I can't lift my shoulders of the mat!! argh! and it's not because im fat=)

[TheHandreasz]

maybe you should try the beginner level..this is advanced, and if you have any problems with your spine or back, that"s gonna hurt too, not just your abs..

[maryshryock]

this is a great ab workout.

A+

[areeyavan]

love the video, very helpful. thanks.

[r1a2p3a4r5]

in and out in and out in and out in and out.......in and out.....lol

[Chrysopylae]

Yeah, why is she holding her leggs together? Doesn't look right with that sentence..

[untruedemon]

this works for me, because i woke up sore the first time i done it

thanksssssssssss i love it :D

[ricardogaftoi]

U can do any exercise and woke up sore.

[princetongerl]

does this really work?

[FERRILLES]

et après ça, tu peux aller passer la demis heure qui suit à la toilette!!!!

[XxBluEyedXx]

you bitch!!!! my abs feel great!!!

[Holy94Cow]

Being thin doesnt really matter. you just gotta be healthy. seriously im 14 years 5'3 and 93 pounds and i just want more abs! :}

[hellothere214]

omg! you 5'3 and 93 pounds!

your so lucky :)

im 14 also, and im 5'1, but im 125 :(

thats why ive been doing these pilates workouts lol

[thundergold11]

Girls you should not be reading the scales. You should concentrate o being the healthiest you can be. Eating right, doing adequate cardio, and strength training. I mean look at the victoria secrets models, they have curves and muscle mass. They aren't skin and bones. You should know your body and make it the best it can be....girl if you got curves work it!!!

[coolio24Xx]

im 14 too, 5'6 and 120. i want to get toned!!!

[armsofdelmar]

i lovvvvvvvvvveee this ab workout, pretty effective i think, i wake up sore!!

[maggielou55]

holy crap that was hard

[Antun01]

when i done this video for the first time the next day my abdominals and hips were hurting so i guess its working for me :)

[omazlat]

i m super skiny and still doing that rutine. You can be skiny and not toned .This is about having the muscles where and how a helthy person should !!

[hecsurf93]

i don't like this one. if anyone is looking for a really good ab workout, search 8 minute abs. its a very good series! :)

[iwantbritney]

damn!! this is amazing i love it!

[unrivaled37]

thessee are the kind of abs workout that i lovee!

[pinksugarchic]

this was a great vid. i could definitally feel the burn. but this lady's crazy lol :) these were hard. well not all of them.

[skribs1]

Valerie, will you marry me???!! I secretly hate you though cause this video is hard as hell!

[ligisky]

I really love this video and for those who are making fun please get a life (healthy one)

[thats0me0shay]

haha i cant straighten mii legs in the air.. [[i have HORIBLE legs... once mii knee gave out in the shower! lol]]

[norwegianviking22410]

ive torn (strained) my right leg once and my left leg twice!! i am so scared to stretch now!!

and my friend told me that doing crunches ruins your back (i find true because my back was hurting) and i did crunches EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!

but this workout helped my back :D no more crunches please!!!!!

[norwegianviking22410]

im turning 14 in a month and im 5'4 and i weigh about 103...is that overweight for my age???????

i think i need to lose like 5 pounds :/

[NNYownz]

yes, you need to lose much more than 5 pounds. i suggest vomiting after every meal. and meals should never consist of more than 100 calories at a time.

[missedmytrain]

i hope you are not talking seriously here :-s she/he's 14 and she / he DOESN'T need to be bulimic and /or anorexic....:|

[NNYownz]

lol i was just joking, i was being sarcastic because she's already so underweight

[catdes666]

LMAO! Honestly!

[catdes666]

yo if you think you need to lose 5 pound you dont...you have almost the perfect weight...dont lose weight just maintain it.

[StressedXavierite09]

you are too young to be trying to lose weight, girl! put down the fashion magazines and be happy with yourself. you are fine. don't buy the hype, being pin thin is NOT healthy or attractive.

[LCappello103]

Spoken like a true fatty "StressedXavierite09". You're so happy with yourself yet looking at this vid? I think thin girls are hot, so does the rest of the world. Doesn't mean you should feel bad about yourself if you're not...I'm all about the inner beauty, but fat people should spend more time working out and less on their self esteem by attacking people in shape.  How in good conscience could you say she isn't healthy or attractive.

[StressedXavierite09]

If you call size 6 fat, then yes, I am fat, and proud of it!

[lindarexisdasex]

Hey, a size 6 is not fat.

Rofl.

:D

Im a size 6 too!

Well, it varies and depends on the jean brands.

Im usually 5-6. :P

[StressedXavierite09]

And no, not everybody likes thin girls. A lot of men won't date them because they have no meat on their bones. Sticks and bones are for dogs.

[kittykatpawz]

this vidio isnt just about being skinny or "pin thin", its about being toned and fit lol...i've always been naturally small-set (size 0-3) i still do these excercises to keep myself toned..especialy after having my daughter...its very healthy and i think i look awesome since i've been doing them!:)

[niceperson31295]

No, the whole world does not think that thin girls are hot. I think women with curves are hot and yes, big people shouldn't be targeting people who are in shape just because their not but just because she says that doesn't mean she's fat. Oh and I'm not fat either just overweight(there's a difference).

[niceperson31295]

Your right being pin thin isn't healthy or attrative but you can start working out whenever you want and sometimes it's not easy to be happy with yourself. If you wanna lose a little weight you should be able too and no ones to young, unless your like 5 months, then yeah, you get it.

[WoodAccount]

wow-- 5 lbs-- that isn't anything!!! you sound like you're already stick-thin!!! You should feel good about yourself!

[ibenh12]

dont think too much about your weight, because remember muscles weigh more than fat. so you may be skinnyer than somebody else and weigh more. im 12 and i weigh 121 lbs and im 5foot 7 - 8.

[lindarexisdasex]

Yeah, I agree.

People say I have a really nice body and I dont need to loose weight.

Im 15 and 5'6" and I weight 130 pounds.

I tell people and they're shocked. :P

If you have a nice body, then the weight doesnt really matter. im just trying to maintain it and maybe loose 5-10 more pounds.

[julianholguin]

i dont have the tendons to do most of these workouts correctly.

[RafaelloCraiova]

that's right,i can't stretch my legs...my tendons won't let me!!

[tylo17]

im 11 and i weigh 105 and and im 5'2 lol im as tall as a 17 yr old but

[prozack12]

i' 5 foot 9 i'm 17....and i'm shorter then alot my age :S

[jmj1204]

taller than me and im 13 turning 14 this year :[

[MAMproductions]

does this help train all of your abdominal muscles? including upper, lower and sides?

[gtauber1023]

tat gurl is fine cuz im 11 but 2 in. away from her height and 75 lbs. so if u wanna lose 10-25 lbs. good job, but half ur meals and become vegitarinan( tats wat i did!) Alex

MEEEEEEEEEEE!

[emmyrossumfan1992]

I think you need to watch "15 minute full body workout" just try at and this I think you will lose weight. hope that helps take care!

[AleAndEmaSinger005]

i am a teen. i weight 105 pounds. which is too much i want to loose about 10-25 pounds is about 2 in a half weeks.. How can i do this?!

♥ alex

[melodydog11]

i'm a teen and i weigh 105 and im perfectly happy. its not healthy to lose that much in 2 weeks anyways.

[AleAndEmaSinger005]

i am not really concerned if it's healthy.

♥ alexx

[vsz7]

[gtauber1023]

[Aronmetalrifflatham]

Meth.. LOL

[theafroballerina]

This is an excellent workout. I did it this a.m. and I really felt like I was in an actual pilates class. I will definitely be doing this 3 times a week!

[majesticreigning]

awesome thanks so much!

[jazzzybabii]

i was ment to say i can really feel the burn, lol, just a typo, this is probably the most helpful video!

[jazzzybabii]

thankz, i cant really feel the burn

[jtttops]

really good thnx!

[r0ckr0yalty]

That was good, really felt the burn with minimal neck and back tension!

[gjfovf]

Great exercises. Excellent burn

[millenniumoverdrive]

I like this because it tones without building mass, which can otherwise be problematic. Thanks so much!

[pinkerchaos]

i love this

how many times do you do these exercises each day?

i have abs but they're not really toned and i want to tone them more

thanks for the vids..they're amazing

[VideoLog2]

Is this beginner or intermediate

[DracoChica15]

people who do much of pilates absolutely haven't got ANY FAT round the belly! amazing!

[AskEJean]

Mr.Head09, MY MAN!

Your abs video is fantastic! Pilates makes E.Jean's stomach quiver with delight.

Ravishing Regards,

E.Jean

[strawbarie]

ur my hero

[DoctorSensitive]

The cork screw killed by back the first time I tied it. It seems to be getting better and better though as I learn my bodies proper form. Is it alright to do this routine every day?

[mrhead09]

Ab work can be tricky. You should trust your body. If you are sore, don't do this routine. However, if you aren't sore, you can do it everyday. Just don't workout tired muscles. I would recommend you do this 3 times a week max though.

[DoctorSensitive]

The only thing that disturbed me was the 'cork screw' movement but I realized this is because I was making bigger circles than I should have thus moving my lower spine more than it needed to be moved. I can tell by the way you move in the video that this is like second nature to you by now.

[mrhead09]

Thanks!

I'm glad you figured it out - everyone's body is a little different so its very important that they listen to it.

[DoctorSensitive]

How long did it take you to get these movements to the point where they are like second nature? And do you think they are easier for women than for men? I ask this because women are generally smaller than men and have less body weight to have to move.

[thephantomofoperafan]

Thank you so much!
