Some people like to blame untoned abs on age. But seriously, there is no excuse for untoned abs except pregnancy. This is why pilates is a fabulous activity. There are classes in most cities across America as well as dvds galore.
My favorite pilates dvd is, “Pilates Precision- toning and sculpting with Jennifer Kries.” Kries has an undeniably similar speaking intonation as Sarah Jessica Parker. (Which is a parallel in the pilates universe since Parker has said in interviews that during, “Sex in the City,” she was an avid pilates follower). Kries goes through the pilates steps slowly so that you won’t damage/strain your neck and is likable to watch as the workout time passes quickly. Even doing this dvd just twice a week you should notice a difference (unless you are standing in line at Wendy’s five times a week- then your killer tight abs will be in there dying to get out from a layer of frosty’s and patties but they will still look like a muffin top to everyone else).
