Pilates Resources

The Pilates training method (Proximal Integrating Latent Agile Toning Exercise System) has a wide range of health fitness benefits, especially for women. For example, the deep muscle worked and strengthened is the transversus abdominalis, which crosses the abdomen and the pelvic structure, which supports abdominal organs and play a role in maintaining continence. Pilates exercises can also be helpful during pregnancy as well as after childbirth to restore abdominal-muscle strength and realign posture. Pilates workouts are performed either on a padded floor mat or with special apparatus. Mat exercises focus on strengthening trunk and hip muscles while improving the flexibility of both the spine and hips.
