Pilates is a conditioning program that improves strength tone,
flexibility, posture, coordination, and muscle control. Each
exercise is designed to open the joints involved and release tension while
building strength.
Pilates requires personal supervision; making it one of the
safest workouts you can take.
Pilates elongates and strengthens developing muscles, flexibility and join
mobility. A body with balanced strength and flexibility has reduced risk
of injury.
Rather than pursuing an unrealistic goal of having the "perfect
body" try developing a healthy self image and a nice shape through the
attainment of better posture, enhanced coordination, increased strength and
improved flexibility.
