Fitness doesn’t come neatly wrapped up in one all-inclusive exercise.  For total or whole body fitness, there needs to be a blend of various forms of exercise from strength training, aerobic, and flexibility.  That is why Pilates is such a good workout for anyone who wants to expand their exercise routine into an area besides the usual running, swimming, or bicycling.  One that really develops what every one of us needs for total body fitness – strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and good posture.
