What are the benefits of regular Pilates practice?
There are many benefits associated with regular Pilates practice. Pilates students gain “core strength” by working the back and abdominals simultaneously. Unlike traditional abdominal exercises such as sit-ups where students work and isolate the rectus abdominus, Pilates engages all of the abdominal and lower back muscles including the transverse abdominus. In order to gain core strength, one must work the transverse. Pilates can also assist with improving flexibility, posture, coordination, balance, and lung capacity.
