The
Pilates exercise technique is a set of principles
and exercises which works the whole body in balance,
coordinating the upper and lower musculature with
the body's center. This dramatically improves
strength, flexibility, posture and coordination.
The Pilates exercise technique can be used for
general fitness, cross training with other forms
of sport or exercise, and injury rehabilitation.
Pilates is a complete fitness
method and when performed regularly, positively
changes bodies. It combines awareness of
the spine, proper breathing and strength and flexibility
training.

What also makes the Pilates exercise
technique unique among similar forms of exercise is that
it slims the muscles, making them more compact by developing
slenderness rather than bulk. The outcome is a balanced
body which is strong and supple with a flat stomach, balanced
legs and a strong back. Its effects are more than
just physical: you will feel revitalized, relaxed,
confident, invigorated and more flexible through a new
sense of well-being!
