Quick answers
Can I combine Pilates and strength training?
Yes. Start Strong includes both styles. The training team can help you choose sessions for your goals and experience.
How is core training different from abs?
Your abs are part of your core, which also includes muscles around your back, pelvis, and hips.
Do standing ab workouts work?
Standing exercises can train the muscles that move and stabilize your trunk. They cannot target belly fat specifically.
Which workouts are beginner-friendly?
Lying Down Abs, Lying Down Glutes, and Standing Glutes are labeled Beginner. Check each workout's instructions before starting.
