10 Health Benefits of Pilates

Full-Body Fitness

Unlike some other forms of exercise, Pilates will not over-develop a few body parts and ignore others. Instead, these exercises can train the whole body to help you develop overall strength and health. They can promote balanced muscle development and strength, as well as an increased range of motion and flexibility for the muscles and joints. With full-body fitness and focus on core support, Pilates can provide a form of integrative fitness that would be hard to see elsewhere. That’s why they are so popular in many rehab centers to help patients recover their movements. [2]
