Pilate exercises were developed by Joseph Pilate. There are many sorts of Pilate exercises. You can practice as many types as you can. They all are good to have a healthy body. But if you are not a exercise friendly person, I will suggest you to go through at least for those which are related to stomach toning.
Pilate exercises are not like regular exercises. Joseph Pilate called them as Contrology, as these exercises are believed to have control over mind. In regular exercises the more repetitions you can do is better, but in Pilates quality is more important than quantity. You have to try to do each movement with perfection in Pilate exercises.
Many popular abs exercises can be replaced with Pilate exercises.
