It may also produce visible results sooner.

Pilates gets your mind in tune with your body by emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth flowing movements.

Conventional workouts tend to build short, bulky muscles-the type most prone to injury. Pilates elongates and strengthens, improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility. A body with balanced strenght and flexibility is less likely to be injured. Develop a strong core-flat abdominals and a strong back building on the principles of Joseph Pilates. The core consists of the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine. Control of the core is achieved by integrating the trunk, pelvis and shoulder girdle. No matter what your age or condition, it will work for you.
