Abdominal Exercise for Women: Ball Plank

To begin, put ball under thighs – there is less strain on the lower back. As you strengthen, move ball under knees, then ankles. It's important that this is done progressively.

Abdominal Exercise for Women: Hundreds

This is one of our quintessential abdominal exercises for women. Holding this position, pump arms up and down –from knees to floor. Pilates breathing!! Inhale for 2 pumps and exhale for 2. The idea is to do 100 pumps which, it is claimed, Joseph Pilates kept doing into his 80’s. So, should be easy for a woman like you!!

Abdominal Exercise for Women: Single Leg Stretch

This is another one of our quintessential pilates abdominal exercises, a favourite for most women.

Start with head on the floor. Place hands on the left knee and stretch out the right leg, then alternate, hands on right knee and stretch out the left leg. Again, try to get the rhythm of breathing. As you gain strength, lift head, and then more of the upper body off the floor.

Abdominal Exercise for Women: Abdominal Obliques

Keep the legs going as above, but with hands behind head, bring right armpit up to left knee and then alternate– your shoulders move across the body.

Abdominal exercises using the ball are extremely effective, and most women love it- great for core strength. Actually, its the instability of the ball which engages lots of small core muscles around the spine whilst doing abdominal exercises.
