Pilates Exercise Roll Over

http://www.PilatesAnytime.com Kristi Cooper White teaches how to do the Pilates Roll Over, an intermediate level mat exercise. The muscle focus is abdominals and the objective is to increase abdominal strength and spinal articulation. When performing the Roll Over be careful not to use momentum to roll onto you upper back and be careful not to roll onto your neck. Instead, use the strength of your abdominal muscles to peel the spine off the mat one vertebrae at a time and stop when the weight is between the shoulder blades.

It can certainly help, but this is not where I would start. This is an intermediate exercise and this video is meant to be review. You want to make sure you can contract your abdominals without them pooching out when you lift your head neck and shoulders or your hips if you keep your head down. All of Pilates works to flatten your belly so I suggest you take a full class starting at the beginning (basics) for best results.
