Pilates Beginner Workout For Strong Core: Diamond

How to do a diamond:

  • From the crunch, come back to the tabletop position with your legs lifted, knees directly over your hips. Bring your knees and feet together.
  • Press your arms and lower back into the mat.
  • Keep your big toes pressed together, and open your knees up wide like a book. Then bring your knees back together to complete the rep. Picture a string attached to your belly button pulling both knees in and out.
  • Continue for a minute, making sure your lower back is imprinted into the mat, performing about 20 reps.
