The One Leg Kick is an original Pilates exercise that strengthens the hamstrings and glutes. You’ll tone the back of the legs and firm your butt while increasing your abdominal strength as you hold your abs off the floor! If you have tight quads, only bend your knee as far as is comfortable or feel free to pulse only once. Visit www.PilatesOnFifth.com for more info.

The Obliques exercise is a classical Pilates exercise which targets the abdominal muscles to flatten the stomach and strengthen the core. Keeping the elbows wide helps keep the shoulders down and increases the rotation in the trunk – which helps shrink your waist! Be sure to stretch your legs fully each time and stop the knee at 90 degrees of hip flexion to encourage greater strengthening of the abdominal muscles.　Visit www.PilatesOnFifth.com for more info.
