A Pilates trainer known as Pilates by Cat has unveiled a 10-minute deep core workout that has gained popularity among Victoria’s Secret models for its effectiveness in achieving flatter abs and a sculpted waistline. This routine emphasizes the activation of the transverse abdominis (TA), the body's natural corset muscle, which is vital for posture, balance, and spinal support. The workout employs a Pilates roller to help maintain a neutral pelvis, reducing strain on the lower back while ensuring proper engagement of the abdominal muscles.

The circuit consists of three exercises—Star, Double Toe Taps, and Dead Bug—each performed 12 times, and is repeated three times to build endurance and strengthen the pelvic floor. This low-impact approach is ideal for beginners and those recovering from injuries, as it focuses on mindful movement rather than high-intensity training.

Fitness experts highlight that while short Pilates workouts can improve muscle activation and posture over time, achieving visible abs also relies on factors such as balanced nutrition and overall body fat percentage. This 10-minute routine offers a practical solution for those looking to tone their core without extensive workouts.
