Tighten your core just by breathing!

Pilates incorporates a breathing method that I encourage you to try.  This can be practiced alone or in conjunction with exercises.  The exhalation is the key to deep core activation. When you exhale, the transverse, which is your deep abdominal muscle, presses against the diaphragm to expel the air, thus creating a deep abdominal contraction.
