Pilates is a low-impact workout that focuses on core strength, flexibility, and overall body alignment through controlled, precise movements. Unlike many traditional workouts, which may emphasize large, repetitive motions and isolated muscle strengthening, Pilates prioritizes slow, intentional exercises that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. It combines elements of strength, flexibility, and body awareness, often with an emphasis on breath control. This makes Pilates distinct as it builds both physical and mental focus, aiming to improve posture, balance, and functional strength in daily movements.
