Summary: Pilates is an exercise system developed by a German man named Joseph Pilates. It was designed to strengthen the body core ( which consists of the abdominal muscles, the lower back muscles, hip flexors, and gluteus muscles) in order to prevent back pain, and help with spine alignment and breathing control. Pilates exercises can be done almost anywhere and can be learned quite easily.
