Moderate form of exercise that can improve balance, flexibility, circulation, posture and help you to relax. Pilates is similar to yoga but with a greater focus on strengthening the core abdominal and back muscles. The programme focuses on the core postural muscles, which help keep the body balanced and are essential for providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exer- cises teach awareness of breathing and alignment of the spine, head, neck and shoulder blades. It incorporates strengthening of the deep abdominal muscles, which are particularly important in alleviating and preventing back pain. Pilates is beneficial for just about everyone - regardless of age and fitness level.
