Question by liketotallysick: Is pilates enough for core strength or should I be supplementing with other ab exercises?
I like to have a balaned workout regiment and for core strength I do pilates 2-3 times per week. Should I be doing other ab exercises in addition to this?

Your pilates exercises should be fine for now, but just remember to change up the workout every two weeks (or at least once a month) or your body will become accustomed to doing those exercises and they won’t be beneficial anymore.

Also, make sure that your core exercises include all parts of the core, not just abs. Make sure you’re working your sides and back.
