Pilates is about a lot more than building the six-pack abs of your dreams. It works to sculpt a strong core from the inside out, focusing on the deep transverse abdominis muscles that are responsible for protecting your lower back from injury and stabilizing your body as you move.
That said, I’ve been practicing Pilates for the past 15 years, and when paired with a healthy, balanced diet and a good level of cardiovascular fitness, Pilates definitely can help you sculpt the abs you’ve dreamed of. One lady who proves this is the case is Kate Hudson, and luckily for us, her trainer, Megan Roup, founder of The Sculpt Society, shared the exact Pilates workout she did with Hudson ahead of her recent Oscars appearance.
