Boost Flexibility
Most exercises include movements in a single motion plane, mostly the back-and-forward motion. But in Pilates, you have to move in a few planes at the same time. They move your spine from extension to flexion, side bending and external rotation to internal rotation. These movements allow for an enhanced range of motion for the whole body. By working within those additional planes, you can improve and increase overall flexibility, thus decreasing the risks of injuries. This means you can bend and stretch better in more difficult exercises without worrying about damaging your muscles or joints. [4]
