6 Pilates Best Exercises for Perfect Abs

Exercise #1

Lie on your back with your arms extended toward the ceiling. Exhale and curl up, starting with your chin pressed against your chest. When you reach the sitting position, reach your hands to your feet. Exhale again and arch backward, straightening each vertebra. Do this slowly, without straining or tearing.
