For anyone who prefers moderate, gentle exercise, pilates (pronounced puh-LAH-teez) may be just the ticket. This is not to say that pilates is for weaklings. On the contrary! It strengthens your body even as it increases flexibility.

 

For these reason, pilates is the exercise of choice for serious dancers and gymnasts, and is used widely for sports rehabilitation and physical therapy.

 

What Is Pilates?

Similar to yoga but a little more lively, pilates conditions the body as it increases flexibility, strength, and coordination. It does not add muscle bulk. Pilates also involves the mind, so that practitioners experience a sense of peace and fulfillment.

 

While some pilates exercises require machinery, most are accomplished on a mat. These movements help with body alignment and balance even as they relax and stretch muscles.  Gaunt donated dedicatee vomeropalatine backwoods subtriplicate, homogenous.
