Pilates

Pilates emphasizes the body’s core — the abdomen, obliques, lower back, inner and outer thigh, butt, and so on.

For this reason, Pilates develops much of what exercisers need — strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and good posture — with a much lower chance of injury than with other forms of exercise.

The discipline emphasizes correct form instead of going for the burn..

Invented by Pilates founder Joseph Pilates, it uses a bed-like frame with a flat platform which rolls back and forth on wheels within the frame. The carriage is attached to one end of the reformer by a set of springs.

A wide variety of exercises are done to promote length, strength, flexibility, and balance. Most Pilates reformer exercises have to do with pushing or pulling the carriage or holding the carriage steady during an exercises.
