Here's how Pilates can change your body:
1. Core strength:
The deep muscles of the back, abdomen and pelvic region are the core muscles of the body. These are the muscles we rely on to support a strong back, and enhanced posture. When the core muscles are strong, the frame of the body is supported. This means that the neck and shoulders can relax, and the rest of the muscles and joints can function properly. Additionally, core training promotes the flat abs which we all simply love.
2. Enhanced posture:
Good posture is a reflection of good alignment supported by a strong core. It is a position from which one can move freely. The Pilates workout trains the body to express itself with strength and harmony. Regularly doing Pilates workout can help in enhancing the posture and can even ease back pain. Additionally, it is great for people who have slipped disc.

3. Improves balance:
This form of exercise requires more strength and thought than other workouts. As an added benefit Pilates can keep the mind active and alert. In this workout, you not only learn a series of movements; but also learn the concept behind it. For instance, standing on one leg with your eyes open and then with closed eyes requires a lot of balance. But with slow movements of the limbs while maintaining a strong core your balance will improve quickly.
4. Enhances mental health:
The deep breathing performed in Pilates can keep stress at bay and reduce blood pressure and enhances your mental health. Deep breathing encourages correct blood flow and ensures a sound sleep. Pilates can also boost your mood as physical activity causes endorphins to be released which in turn leads to a positive feeling in the body.
