You need to lie on your stomach with arms and legs outstretched as if you are swimming. Keep your palms facedown and toes pointed. Lift your legs and arms off the floor without arching the spine. Flap the opposite arm and opposite leg, slowly inhaling and exhaling. Do this along exercise with your Pilates routine twice a week.4. Get an aerobic workout. You need to expend calories and burn fat in order to see the results of your strength training. Aerobic activities include biking, hiking, swimming, dancing and walking.
