Pippa Middleton shares her go-to ‘belly-busting’ exercises to ‘tone your tummy’ in weeks

pippa middleton has an envious figure and although it is partly due to genetics, the British socialite exercises regularly and follows a healthy lifestyle diet. One area many women are looking to tone up is the abdomen, as overindulgence and too little movement can lead to an increase in belly fat as we age. However, Pippa has shared some of her favorite exercises to help “trim the waist.”

She explained: “To do any form of exercise efficiently, you have to be able to activate your core.

“A strong core is required for athletic performance and for good weight training technique.

“I recommend trying Pilates or another core class, like Les Mills’ CXWORX class, to learn about your core muscles and how to activate them.

“Once you’ve learned the basic techniques, including working your front and side abs, lower back muscles, and hip muscles, you can use a trusted online video for inspiration and new exercises.” .

Pippa added: “Core work is great for posture and also helps to strengthen important tissue which will have a positive effect on all other activities.

“It will dramatically improve your balance and efficiency in sports like running, tennis, golf and swimming.

“The reason most sports professionals practice Pilates and focus on the core exercises is to maintain their efficiency.

“Focus on your abs and waist and try incorporating these short exercises (complete 15-20 reps of each exercise, three times) into your full-body training regimen.”
