Pilates is a form of strength training, but it doesn't look like some of the other strength
training
exercises
you might
be familiar with. Pilates focuses more on improving muscle tone than building muscles, but the result is
similar:
greater stability and endurance. Pilates isn't going to bulk you up,if anything, it's designed to cultivate
a
longer,
leaner look. Still, it can lay a strong physical foundation for muscle-building activities and may even
reduce
your
likelihood of injury.
