Pilates is a unique way of getting your whole body into good condition and toning up all your muscles. It consists of a series of exercises which are suitable for everyone, which develop both strength and suppleness, and its aim is to make the muscles required for good posture even firmer. Pilates gives priority to the movements being performed well, freeing up tension, and developing good muscle co-ordination and control. In this Intermediate pilates session the exercises from the Beginners' Level have been modified and made more difficult, and new exercises have been added. This programme, adapted in line with your progress, will allow you to not only consolidate what you have learned, but also to establish a higher level of practice. Don't forget: to make progress, set objectives!
