Pilates has been having a bit of time off. Once hailed the core strengthening, body conditioning exercise of the masses, in recent years, it’s been somewhat pushed aside while we all have a love affair with yoga. Pilates is a system of exercises, carried out in a prescribed order, that improve physical strength, flexibility and posture. You only need carry out a few repetitions of each movement because the focus is on the quality of every single movement. Pilates is a low-impact exercise discipline that is fantastic for strengthening muscles, promoting movement control and building endurance.
