Pilates
Pilates is a form of exercise, developed by Joseph Pilates. Pilates trains your body to be strong, flexible and balanced. It involves a series of movements and positions that help to improve your strength and coordination. Breathing and relaxation are important in controlling how you do the exercises.
The movements focus on your lower abdomen muscles, pelvic floor muscles and deep back muscles, which are all key to good posture, balance and strength.
If you strengthen these muscles and balance them in relation to other muscles in your body, you’ll develop a stable core. Pilates builds on this strength through a series of controlled, increasingly challenging movements.
