Pilates is a type of toning exercise that has been used by dancers for nearly 75 years.  One way that you get involved in Pilates is to join a class.  This is another way that your local gym can help you.  Pilates are excellent when it comes to toning up muscle, especially the abs.  If your gym offers a Pilates class, you  can sign up for this class that can help you work on toning up your abs. 

Pilates works well when it comes to teaching you how to isolate certain muscles and work on them to get them toned.  More than likely, your Pilates class will not only work on the abs, but other muscles as well.  Once you get the hang of the Pilates and how to use them, you can use this type of exercise routine to work on your abs when you are at home. 

If you do not have a Pilates class at your local gym, you may be able to sign up for one at your local parks department.  There are many people who are glad to teach Pilates so that others can learn this type of toning exercise.  Pilates will let you concentrate on your muscles that you want toned and exercise them to the maximum of your ability.

Pilates is a much more concentrated type of exercise than any other toning exercise routine.  One reason why many people like to use Pilates as a way to sculpt their abdominal muscles is because they can get the same results from a 15 minute workout when using Pilates as they can get from a 45 minute traditional workout.  Pilates are made to concentrate on muscles and tone them so that they are strong as well as sculpted.
