AM PILATES Start your morning off with one of the hottest exercise trends! Pilates is incredibly effective at improving muscle control, flexibility, coordination and strength. It’s the not-so-secret weapon of both Hollywood stars and busy moms, and the best part is that it’s appropriate for all ages and fitness levels. Anyone can do Pilates and see the benefits in a short amount of time. When you practice Pilates, you build strength and stability—especially in your abdominal, legs and back, improve your flexibility and reduce your risk of injury.
