Pilates
Pilates exercises are based on the teachings of Joseph Pilates and are typically used to achieve lean, toned muscles. These exercises not only focus on core strength, but also your ability to slowly and smoothly control your body's movements and breathing patterns. This focus on control is primarily why Pilates is so effective for improving strength and tone. Pilates has been used as a way to rehabilitate physical health issues, from bad backs to poor posture. Adding Pilates to your routine is a great way to work your core and create lean, toned muscles throughout your entire body.
