5 Abdominal Exercises That Can Benefit From You Wearing Tummy Control Leggings
Two things can be true: you can love your plus size body and still desire tummy smoothing leggings that will help suck in your stomach and give you an hourglass figure.
Trust us, we’re all about body positivity; however,if there’s something non-invasive or a “quick fix” that could make us look snatched, we’re all for it.
What you’ll learn in this blog post is that tummy smooth leggings do more than just make you look-- they can help improve your abdominal workouts.
When we at Tribe-35 developed our patent-pending The Corset legging, we wanted them to check two main boxes: fashionable and functional.
We also considered their breathability, compression level, tummy control, and how well they would contour the plus size woman’s body. FYI, they do all of that!
And since we’re a move wear brand, we wanted something that could help our customers who love to perform core exercises such as pilates and yoga.
Below are 5 Abdominal Targeted Exercises That Can Benefit From You Wearing Tummy Control Leggings
Plank
How to:
Place your entire body in a supine (on your back) position with your toes and both forearms hitting the ground to give you leverage. Lift your body while using your toes and forearm for support. Hold that position for 10 seconds, release it, and then repeat.
Benefits:
Along with helping to improve your posture, it helps strengthen your abdominal muscles.

A non-equipment exercise you can do anywhere, toe touches could be a bit challenging, but they garner great results. Lay on your back with your legs extending toward the ceiling. Extend both your arms in an upward position toward your toes. You can alternate the arm that reaches your toes or you can extend both at the same time.
