Pilates has special exercises that focus on working out the butt, abductor and abdominal muscles, giving them tone and strength, and helping us develop our sense or internal balance.
But, before we describe the exercises sure you may be wondering...
What is an abductor muscle?
Abductor muscles are a group of four muscles in the buttock area in both sides of the body.
They allow to separate or abduct our legs away from the middle line of the body. We use the most these muscles in any activity or sport that requires moving from side to side, as football, ice skating, basketball, baseball, and the like.
Pilates butt exercises consist mainly on the lateral elevation of one leg, or both.
