Though washboard abs may be a successful way to clean laundry, the long, lean abs developed in Pilates provide the perfect place to put a wall calendar or display the outcome of your most recent Chia pet-breeding science fair project. Keep your abdominal bulletin board organized with today's Groupon to Active Body Pilates in Issaquah. Choose from these three lengthening and strengthening options:

• For $30, you get six mat classes focused on Pilates floor exercises (a $100 value).

Under the watchful eye of skilled instructors, clients at Active Body Pilates use Pilates mat exercises and specially designed apparatuses to tone their core muscles without building bulk. The studio offers a schedule of group classes, private training sessions, and duet sessions to cater to roaming mobs of ab enthusiasts as well as solitary core-whittlers. Owner Jana Broecking, a certified STOTT Pilates instructor, and her equally talented staff lead visitors through exercises that improve posture, relieve back pain, increase flexibility, and easily confuse predators.
