Mike “the situation” Sorrentino, Madonna, Tyson Becford, Ray J, and Jessica Showdown all have killer abs, and many of us wonder how they got them. Did they hit the gym, use home grade core trainers, or do lots of standing and floor exercises? Well according to trainers, whether they are being upfront about it or not, many celebrities, models, and sports stars use Pilates abdominal moves in their workouts. Pilates, really?
Yes, according to experts, Pilates abdominal moves can be extremely effective, but to understand why you have to understand a little bit about Pilates. It was invented by Joseph Pilates in Germany, during the early part of the twentieth century. He believed that the core was our powerhouse and that to be fit and healthy our core had to be strong, so most exercises included in Pilates based workouts directly or indirectly target the core. During this kind of workout users perform Pilates abdominal moves on a mat, and sometimes they use balance balls.
Some of the exercises used in this system include the Single Straight Legged Stretch, the Roll Up, and the One Legged Circle. You can take classes, view online video resources, or buy a DVD based Pilates workout. These videos and DVDs include titles like Pilates Core Challenge With Ana Caban and The Mari Winsor Pilates for Pink Core. While Pilates abdominal moves can be really effective, some readers have also been asking about The Flex Belt, and not because it offers an aggressive hands on approach, but because it does just the opposite by actually doing the workout for you.
EMS, a medical grade technology, is the key to The Flex Belt’s success when it comes to strengthening, toning, and tightening the core. This technology is not new to researchers, as it has been through a wide range of studies, and has been used clinically for over four decades to assist physical therapy patients. The developer of The Flex Belt customized this technology so that it can be used to target the core muscles, which contract and release when they come into contact with the EMS impulses, thereby getting a workout.
The FDA has given the Flex Belt a clearance for toning and strengthening the core muscles. The results of clinical studies conducted on The Flex Belt are available on its home site, along with before and after photos, as well as testimonials by average consumers, and endorsements by sports stars and trainers, like Jerry Rice and Brian Wade. You also get to meet former Ms Universe Jill Wade, who uses The Flex Belt to get and keep her core strong, sexy, and defined for competition. Lastly, The Flex Belt’s design is slim and discreet, so users can wear it anywhere, during most activities, and no one will know they are actually working out.
As we discussed above, there are lots of ways to go when your looking for Pilates abdominal moves, including online sites, downloads, DVDs, and taking actual classes. Doing a quick search online will give you more information on all these options, and you can find more information on The Flex Belt too.
