Red Velvet member Seulgi's new bikini look is drawing awe from fans ahead of summer.
Recently, Seulgi posted several photos on her social media with the caption, “Bali was nice.” In the pictures, she is seen focusing on a photoshoot on the Indonesian island.
In particular, she caught attention by posing in a bikini that highlighted her abs. Her slim waistline and clearly defined abdominal muscles showcased her consistent fitness routine.
Pilates for core strength, defines abs
Earlier, Seulgi had shared glimpses of herself working out at a Pilates studio. The equipment she was using in the photos is called a barrel and features a curved arch surface and ladder-like structure. It helps effectively stretch the spine, hips and thigh muscles.
When used in a side-standing position like Seulgi, it strengthens the obliques, back and overall core, making it effective for trimming fat around the abdomen. Lying on the curved surface can also help correct posture issues such as rounded shoulders, hunched backs and forward head posture.
Caution needed for spinal conditions
However, improper intensity or incorrect adjustment of Pilates equipment can lead to muscle imbalances or joint strain. It’s important to avoid excessive stretching and to maintain proper form.
