The Pilates “swimming” exercise could help strengthen your back, glutes and hamstrings without weights. I decided to add the exercise to my daily routine to see what, if anything, I noticed happening to my body.
Pilates swimming strengthens your trunk and commonly crops up during mat Pilates, relying on the back extension to work the muscles down your posterior chain, namely the back, glutes and hamstrings, plus opening up the chest and hitting the rear shoulders known as the posterior deltoids.
