Pilates has been around for quite some time now thanks to its creator, Joseph Pilates.

In doing so this is what I’ve learned from incorporating Pilates as part of my regular
exercise program.

• Toned - Okay, to be honest...toned really isn't a scientific word. But that doesn't matter
does it?

I mean after all, we all have a similar idea of what toned means…right?

We all have our trouble areas that we want to firm up and lose the jiggle.

That is definitely something Pilates does!

Pilates training requires you to make your muscles work thereby burning calories and
ultimately getting rid of fat that causes the jiggle.

And the being toned simply means being healthier. The more muscle and less fat you have the easier
it is on your body…your heart especially.
