Pilates is a popular exercise method that focuses on strengthening the body's core muscles, enhancing flexibility, and improving overall body awareness. Developed by Joseph Pilates, this low-impact workout system emphasizes controlled movements and conscious breathing techniques. Pilates exercises typically target the deep abdominal muscles, back muscles, and stabilizing muscles to improve posture, balance, and alignment. By combining physical movements with mental focus, Pilates aims to create a balanced and harmonious connection between the mind and body, promoting strength, flexibility, and overall well-being.
