 What is Pilates? advanced Pilates exercise with equipment

Pilates is a method of exercise that was developed over 75 years ago by Joseph Pilates. Over his lifetime Pilates created over 500 exercises and machines which assist the individual to strengthen the body with control and precision. It combines the use of breath and focus while simultaneously increasing muscle strength and flexibility. The exercises focus on strengthening the body’s core muscles (abdominals, buttocks and back muscles).
