What does Pilates do to your body?
Pilates is a form of strength training, but it doesn’t look like some of the other strength training exercises you might be familiar with. Pilates focuses more on improving muscle tone than building muscles, but the result is similar: greater stability and endurance.
The health benefits of Pilates include:
improved flexibility.
increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body)
balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body.
enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs.
Used as a way of maintaining flexibility and injury prevention.
Pilates is a fantastic rehabilitation and maintenance tool for the body
