Choosing the Right Exercise
Pilates
Pilates is a series of exercises designed to increase flexibility and strengthen core (abdominal and back) muscles. Although Pilates is often thought of as a program for experienced athletes, Pilates programs can be designed for people of all fitness levels. Because Pilates techniques must be done correctly for people to achieve benefit, most experts suggest that people begin by taking a class or two with a Pilates instructor before trying it at home.
