Why Pilates? Well, what I love about this is, it 's not just about stretching your body. There are moves or positions that look very simple, but they take a lot of precision and control. Few of my favorite Pilates positions are: criss cross, controlled leg drop, and butt lifts with one resting leg. Criss cross has a special emphasis in obliques: this particular position helps define, and gives you a slim and smaller waistline. Controlled leg drop focuses on improving the core: this is a great way in strengthening the core, flattening belly, and defining ABS. Butt lifts with one resting leg helps not just on slimming waistline, defining ABS, it is also a great and effective workout for a great butt. This will lift and tone your backside effectively; this is a great alternative for squats. Why I love these three positions is that they focus and give emphasis on slimming waistline, defining ABS, and lifting buttocks. You will feel the burn big-time. If you want a low-intensity exercise that still burns calories and gives you a toned body, Pilates is your next best
