I never used to like Pilates, but over time, I have come to love nothing more than strengthening my muscles, improving mobility and honing my body with weekly Pilates classes. Alongside CrossFit, yoga and my job as a personal trainer, I like to think I have developed a strong core.
And although I don’t have a six-pack, a strong midsection does a lot more than just sculpt visible ab muscle — it plays a role in posture, spinal stability and injury prevention, helping you move well and safely at any age. And that’s according to the science we already know about.
