Pilates is a system of structured exercises that was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. Pilates is very popular in many countries, worldwide. Pilates is a whole body conditioning routine that may help build flexibility, muscle strength and muscle endurance in the abdominals, legs, hips and back. It puts emphasis on proper spinal and pelvic alignment, good breathing patterns, development of strong core stability, and improving coordination and balance.
The Pilates' system allows for different exercises levels ranging in levels of difficulty from beginners to advanced level. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions, strengthens and adapts to the exercises.
