Pilates is a conditioning routine that may help build flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back.[4] It puts emphasis on spinal and pelvic alignment, breathing, and developing a strong core
or center, and improving coordination and balance. Pilates' system
allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty
from beginning to advanced. Intensity can be increased over time as the
body conditions and adapts to the exercises.[4]
