Pilates is a series of about 500 exercises inspired by calisthenics. Pilates lengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion. It improves flexibility, strength, balance, and body awareness.
Pilates caters to everyone, from beginners to advanced. You can perform exercises using your own body weight, or with the help of various pieces of equipment.
A typical Pilates workout includes a number of exercises and stretches. Each exercise is performed with attention to proper breathing techniques and abdominal muscle control. To gain the maximum benefit, you should do Pilates at least two or three times per week. You may notice postural improvements after 10 to 20 sessions.
Pilates is partly inspired by yoga, but is different in one key respect yoga is made up of a series of static postures, while Pilates is based on putting yourself into unstable postures and challenging your body by moving your limbs.
"Pilates as a Programme is Fabulous. It increases Muscular Endurance, Core Strength." according to Maahek Nair, master Pilates & Yoga trainer, and Coach to @shraddhakapoor.
