Pilates is a method of body conditioning based on using positioning and gravity to work the muscles. 

Pilates workouts focus first on developing strength through the core of the body--the back, abdomen and hips. This provides a foundation to continue working the rest of the body. The concentration is not only on strength but also flexibility and coordination.
