  1. The Hundred

This first exercise might look like a task but the power to strengthen the core majorly lies in this one. Getting the posture right is the key. In this one, all you have to do is lie down on your back, lift up your face and bring your knees inside towards your chest.

Make sure your neck, head, and shoulders don’t touch the mat at all times. You have to keep pumping your arms in up and down movement.

Another chief part to remember, extend your legs to a 45-degree angle and keep your toes apart. Repeat the same for around 8-10 sets of 5 counts each.

  1. Single-Leg/ Double-Leg Stretch  

By the name you might have figured out the minor difference between the two. For single leg stretch, lie face up on the mat, move your knees towards your chest. Head, neck, and shoulders will be lifted up at all times. Now draw one knee in towards your chest and extend the other leg straight to a 45 degree angle. While doing this you have to grab your right knee with your left hand and right ankle with your right hand. Keep switching your legs on every exhale. 

For the double leg stretch being your knees to chest and hold your shins with your arms. Then move your legs to 45 degree angle extending your arms above your ears.

While doing both the exercises maintain proper breathing and keep your core engaged throughout.

  1. Pilates Plank To Push Ups

Exercise is indeed a big challenge and requires maximum stability to perform. The last exercise in an ideal Pilate Session is Plank to Push Up. 

This one requires you to stand straight on the mat and as you exhale you have to round your chin towards your chest and roll the body down in a rag-doll position. Walk your hands on the mat until you are in plank position (bend the body half way). Keeping your elbows close to ribs. 

As you slowly lower toward the mat for a push up, keep your shoulders settled into your back. Come back up in a plank position, walk your hand back and slowly return to the upright position. Do around 3-5 sets for best results.
