Pilates is widely recognised as a perfect weight loss regime which can make you slim, lean and toned. It boosts your metabolism and makes you lose pounds. Regular pilates practice can give you a healthy body and a physique to die for. Not only this, it adds shapeliness to your figure and enhances strength and posture. In this post, I will list six pilates moves that you can add to your workout regimen and see the difference in two weeks. The best thing is that you only need a yoga mat.

Criss-cross

For this, you need to lie facing up on a mat, with your hands behind neck and elbows wide. Now, lift your head, neck, and shoulders off the mat. Don?t exert sudden pressure. Then, bring left armpit to right knee and extend left leg to high diagonal. Twist to the other side and switch legs, bringing right armpit to left knee and extending right leg. This alternating movement will help you shed that tummy fat in no time.
Leg pull

This is a beginner level exercise which strengthens glutes and hamstrings and gives you shaped thighs. It?s a highly effective exercise. By lifting one leg off the floor, you introduce instability that challenges the abdominals and shoulders to keep the trunk and pelvis stable as you move. Reach your right leg off the mat towards the body and then flex the foot and place it on the mat. Repeat with alternating legs. Finish the movement by placing both hips back down on the Mat.
Corkscrew

This exercise focuses on working out your abdominal muscles. ...
