    @xboomCHICKAboom 16 лет назад

    yes. make sure your elbow is right beneath your shoulder, and up your hips higher so you can transfer the weight to your core and obleques.

  • @sparkpeople
    @sparkpeople  14 лет назад

    @katiealanna Actually, yes! Pilates is safe to do daily since it doesn't work your muscles to fatigue (and therefore require resting/rebuilding) the way traditional strength training does.

  • @sparkpeople
    @sparkpeople  14 лет назад

    @oDREAMERRo If your shoulders are weak, that could explain it. The shoulder and arm is working very hard to hold the body up in that position. Make sure you're in proper alignment (hand under shoulder) to avoid pain, but if it's still too difficult, you'll have to modify. Come to the elbow and/or knees or drop your bottom knee to the ground during the side planks.

  • @sparkpeople
    @sparkpeople  15 лет назад

    Actually, this short workout is safe to do twice a day and on consecutive days. Unlike traditional strength training, Pilates does not work muscles to fatigue and is safe to do daily.

  • @Isandy03
    @Isandy03 15 лет назад

    No, it's not suppose to hurt. It means you're centering your efforts in your neck, not in your core where you're suppose to. Check your posture and make sure to work from your core...you'll see the difference. Best of luck. :)

  • @sparkpeople

    @MsSeverusSnapexoxo Pilates is great for toning the abs in combination with cardio--and a reduced calorie diet.

    it was too fast for me2, but now past 2 weeks it's pretty slow with talking, just keep doing it on your speed and u will catch her up
    I'm doing it 4 days in week only and the results I feel are amazing, especially the stronger back when u sit much of time

  • @L0velyx
    @L0velyx 16 лет назад

    haha same here! but i only do the first few minutes like lying on your back and stuff, i do that 2 times a day, the other stuff i can't -__-
    plus i do some yoga it's so relaxing!

  • @sparkpeople
    @sparkpeople  14 лет назад

    @FlashJack2189 Most Pilates exercises will strengthen the core and the deep abdominal muscles as well as the lower back. This video should be good to start with although you should check with your doctor first since you experience back pain. If it hurts, then don't do a particular exercise.

  • @sparkpeople
    @sparkpeople  15 лет назад

    Sit ups don't "spot reduce" belly fat. You need cardio (on top of pilates or strength training) to lose weight in the belly area.

    Pilates is safe and effective when done every day, but you also need cardio and other forms of strength training to lose weight.

  • @Sunnyangel37
    @Sunnyangel37 15 лет назад

    Well, when you exercise your muscles will burn fat for energy. But the more muscles you begin to gain, the more they will weigh. Muscles weigh more than fat. So you will loose the bad weight, and gain the good weight.
