The trainer revealed a way to work out the press with the help of Pilates

Trainer Claudia Golubtsova revealed a way to work out the press with the help of Pilates. Her words leads “Championship”.

The starting position for the first exercise is lying on your back, the lower back is pressed to the floor, straight legs are raised vertically upwards. Then you need to raise your head and shoulders and stretch your hands to your toes, lingering at the top point for ten counts. At the same time, it is necessary to alternately pull on and pull the feet away from you.

The next exercise is performed from the same starting position. With an exhalation, you need to reach out with your hands to your toes, tearing off your shoulder blades, and as you inhale, lower yourself, while your shoulders and head should be left in weight.

The last exercise is also performed from a prone position, but for it you need to raise your head and shoulders, and bend your legs at the hips and knees at a right angle. Next, you need to stretch your hands to the heels with an exhalation, and with an inhale return to the starting position, while the head and shoulders do not touch the floor. The range of motion is very short, the gaze is directed to the abdomen.

Earlier, fitness trainer Maria Volynkina named the best outdoor exercises for the press. She suggested doing sit-ups or forward crunches on a bench, as well as doing leg raises on a bar.
