Abstract des Autors

Regular exercise leads to strengthen muscles can partially overcome or significantly delay loss of muscle mass, strength and posture. lt is incredibly important for staying healthy. Pilates is a great way to strengthen muscle through low-impact exercises. Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the whole human body.
