Pilates is an incredible fusion of ab-chiselling and total body defining moves. This intense, mat-based workout challenges the student to rhythmically flow from one exercise to the next, developing a rock solid core while leaving no muscle untouched.
Let’s first discover where Pilates originated. It was created by Joseph Pilates who combined some Yoga practices with a few regulated movements. This fitness program was intended to enhance your general fitness level while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
