PE 135 Pilates

Pilates is a very popular, extremely beneficial, focused discipline of physical fitness exercises. The original set of 34 exercises has been expanded and sometimes modified by trainers and certification organizations around the world. However, the main focus on strengthening and stretching the body remains an essential aspect of all training. The blend of strength and flexibility training improves posture, reduces stress and creates long, lean muscles without bulking up. Pilates takes a balanced approach so that no muscle group is overworked and the body moves as an efficient, holistic system in sport and daily activity.
