powerhouse Explanation: In Pilates this region is commonly known as the "powerhouse" - and this term is also not unheard of in other exercises. "Pilates tones up the torso like no other discipline. The abs, hips, buttocks and lower back work together as the body's "powerhouse", and all other movements are generated from this area outward. Whereas the conventional crunch works the Rectus Abdominis (the large "six-pack" muscle in the center of the abdomen), Pilates movements challenge the deeper, often neglected abdominal muscles, creating an amazingly strong core" Reference: http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/strengthtraining/a/pilate... |
