When it comes to sculpting a strong and stable midsection, Pilates is one of the best forms of exercise to try. Forget endless crunches and planks! Using slow, controlled moves, you'll be working the deepest layers of muscle in your midsection. Far from just sculpting visible abs, these muscles act as your body's corset, helping you stay balanced and protecting your spine from injury.
If you're new to Pilates, or you're looking for a quick workout to blast your core, you've come to the right place. Below, new Sweat trainer Jetaya has shared an eight-minute deep core workout with Tom's Guide. Unroll your Pilates mat, and get ready for that deep internal shake.
