Breathing, proper technique, and really taking the time to really *do* each movement is where the magic happens. It's in the transitions. The thing I love about Pilates is that you don't just put your legs up, do the exercise, and then put your legs down. The transitions between exercises are a workout in and of themselves. You have to hold positions and engage your muscles throughout all of it, every step. It feels wonderful cause you feel lengthened and stronger and leaner. does that make sense?Bethany Sineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175171085750736565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556307035339753793.post-82018871494616598982013-11-27T11:11:20.587-08:002013-11-27T11:11:20.587-08:00Wow. for real, did this happen??

I am SO impressed and SO jealous! you look amazing!!!! dang girl, 125 pounds???? how tall are you? that's like crazy tiny!! <br /><br />okay so you've got the losing weight thing down. as far as the toning your stomach……my magic go-to exercises are Windsor Pilates. Pilates is how we always trained for dance during my college days. I was skinny like you were here so I didn't think I had weight/inches to lose, but I did the Windsor Pilates Accelerated workout DVD every day (it's an hour long) and by the 3rd month my pants were baggy. I got so ripped! I was so surprised. I still do pilates after the kids go to bed. It's a workout but calming at the same time. give it a try. I hope you'll love it and it will work for you!Bethany Sineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175171085750736565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556307035339753793.post-24582734069919868542013-11-26T07:41:18.094-08:002013-11-26T07:41:18.094-08:00WOW!

You can search for specific workouts (low impact, ab, cardio....) and they have some SUPER, and I mean SUUUUUPER intense workouts. (HIIT) I can't really run very often where we live, but doing these everyday, I don't really miss it! Also, one thing that has really helped me lately is to incorporate more pilates and yoga style strength training (also on fitnessblender). having to breath controlled, and do the motion SLOWLY totally makes any ab workout WAY harder. Just a thought. Anyway, you are awesome! Keep it up!!Ariel https://www.blogger.com/profile/07452791711204336488noreply@blogger.com
