Description
Pilates is a form of exercise which concentrates on strengthening the body with an emphasis on core strength. This helps to improve general fitness and overall well-being. Similar to Yoga, Pilates concentrates on posture, balance and flexibility.
Pilates is a type of exercise in which you perform a series of controlled movements that flow into one another with precision.
As far as what muscles Pilates works, it’s technically considered a total body workout.
In working the entire body, though, Pilates’ movements are primarily designed to target your core muscles, including your:
- Abdominal muscles
- Hip muscles
- Gluteal muscles
- Lower and upper back muscles
- Inner thigh muscles
The goal is to be in total control of your body as you move. That requires beginning from your central core muscles and using the stability these muscles provide to smoothly control your arms, legs and other extremities.
