Pilates

Pilates is a highly effective mind-body exercise system that strengthens core muscles while improving flexibility and posture. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s, this low-impact workout emphasizes controlled movements, precise breathing, and proper alignment. It targets deep stabilizing muscles often neglected in traditional workouts, creating long, lean muscles without bulk. Suitable for all fitness levels, Pilates enhances body awareness, reduces back pain, and prevents injuries. Studies show it improves balance, spinal mobility, and muscle endurance. Whether using specialized equipment or just a mat, Pilates offers a challenging yet adaptable workout that benefits both athletes and rehabilitation patients alike.
