Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the entire body with controlled movements. You will become stronger, sculpted, and flexible as you focus on cultivating alignment, breathing, core strength, and coordination. The precision and control you practice here will translate to improved posture and an increased sense of well-being. Pilates is best practiced a few days a week or alternated with other strength-training classes in addition to your cardio workout for aerobic activity.
