Start your day with this Pilates-inspired core workout before anyone else wakes up—it only takes 10 minutes

Pilates is a great type of exercise for building core strength because it targets all of the muscles in your torso, including the deep-lying ones that support the spine, which help you to maintain good posture and balance.

Movements tend to be slow and controlled, which means you have to work hard to keep your body stable as you move. When you strengthen the core in this way, it builds endurance and can also reduce the chances of experiencing lower back pain.
