Pilates exercise routine makes you a stronger person than before. Because, the body is used to doing complex Pilates movements. So that when carrying out daily activities, for example carrying heavy loads, you will feel easy and light.

In a journal published by the Irish Journal of Medical Science, Pilates can help relieve stress and stabilize mood. This is because Pilates is able to stimulate the production of endorphins in the brain, thereby triggering a sense of calm, pleasure, and security.

Pilates' focus on body awareness can help you understand that what your body is doing this week while exercising may not be the same as what it was doing last week. By identifying these fluctuations from class to class, for example, maybe the last time you were able to hold the board for a minute, but today it was only 30 seconds, you learn to accept, understand more, and ultimately love yourself more.
