Pilates is renowned for its ability to build solid core strength, but some of its best core-boosting exercises can often fly under the radar. Below, Pilates Instructor Lotty Campbell Bird, Founder of the Collective Fitness Studio, has shared three underrated exercises that’ll help you build phenomenal core strength, which are perfect for bolting onto the end of your workout. They'll improve your posture and stability, and you won’t need any equipment for them, just an exercise mat.
“Strengthening our deep core muscles through Pilates creates a strong central base for the body,” Lotty says. “This acts to support major joints, reduce pain, and help prevent injury. A strong core also boosts stability and improves posture, which supports our functional movement and agility in everyday life, making us feel more stable and secure.”
