Pilates Can Change Your Body
If you're looking for a good workout that helps you tone and strengthen your body, Pilates is one of my favorite choices. The Pilates workout system! was created over 100 years ago by Joseph Pilates and has been used by dancers, for rehabilitation, for fitness, etc ever since that time. I first discovered it about ten years ago and it still is one of my favorite forms of exercise.

Pilates Exercises are Effective
After years of doing Pilates, I have come up with some tips that will help you get the most out of your workouts.
- Take a class. If you are just getting started you might want to consider taking a class. Then, you can do the routines at home once you get the hang of it.Make sure the instructor has excellent credentials and is certified in Pilates.
- Learn from a DVD. You can also learn Pilates from a DVD. Choose a Pilates workout system that fits your experience level.
- Remember to breathe. Pilates is more than just the movements. It's about your breathing to. Remember to breathe properly so you can get the best results possible.

Why I Love Pilates Exercise
I'm a Pilates Workout Fan
I've been a fan of Pilates for the past 14 years or so and it has become a consistent part of my fitness routine. Here's why I love it.
- Tone your core. For me, it's hard to get really defined abs. When I do Pilates I notice a huge difference.
- Builds muscle all over. It doesn't just build muscle and strength in the core. It does it all over!
- Aids weight loss. Though Pilates workouts don't burn a lot of calories, they do help build muscle which helps encourage long term weight loss.
- Adds flexibility. Flexibility is what helps encourage mobility, especially as we age. After a Pilates workout I notice that my back in particular is nice and flexible and the tense spots are greatly reduced.
