The main target of Pilates exercises is core strength, which means those muscles that make up the core of the body is strengthened. So what are those muscles that make up the core of our body? These are the abdominal muscles, the muscles covering the ribs or oblique muscles, and the muscles of the buttocks or gluteus muscles. Since Pilates' main focus is core strength, it means that once a person is doing Pilates exercises, the muscles that make up the core of the body will be the first to improve. These benefits include developing 6-pack abs meaning attaining a sexier and attractive body, improving your speed, agility and power that means you will be stronger and avoiding back pain.
