Would you like to tone your entire body, relieve lower back pain, and feel great on a daily basis? To achieve this, a two minute Pilate’s workout is a great way to go about it. It only takes two moves to not only strengthen your abs, but gives you a stronger core and prepares you for any or your daily activities.

I. Pilate’s Push-Ups

This is the first phase in the four step Pilates workout. You should only spend 30 seconds on the first phase.

• Begin a basic push-up..
• Lower your elbows and bend them straight back, this will lower your body until you’re about 5 inches from the floor. You must keep your abs firm and hips towards the floor.
• Hold for a count of 3, and straighten your arms to return to starting position. Repeat

II. Wall Slides

The second phase is the last stage needed to achieve your goal. The second phase should only require two minutes. Here are the simple steps.

• Stand one foot away from a wall and place your back against the wall.
• Bend your knees at a angle as you slide your back down the wall. Hold for 40 seconds.
• Stand and repeat again. Work up to hold it for 1 minute, then 2 minutes.
