Narrow scope of Pilates: Pilates couples have always created more than 500 movements, most of which are saved as photos or documentaries. Including the exercises on the mat and the movements of the studio equipment invented by Mr. Pilates, it is a narrow concept of Pilates.

The broad concept of Pilates: Pilates is first and foremost a sport. It mainly exercises the small muscle groups in the deep layer of the human body, maintains and improves the normal posture, achieves the body balance, develops the range and ability of the trunk and limbs, emphasizes the control of the core muscle groups, strengthens the nerve induction and domination of the human brain to the limbs and skeletal muscle tissues, and cooperates with the correct breathing method to carry out the whole body coordinated exercise.

Pilates evolved into a noun, which generally refers to all courses that use Joseph Pilates to exercise. This course can be a group fitness course or a private training course set up by the coach to correct some special injuries, muscle imbalance or other physical problems. Pilates group fitness classes are specially designed for people who work in offices. Because of working at a desk and computer for a long time, muscle development is unbalanced. This lesson mainly focuses on the muscle training of abdominal muscles, gluteal muscles, shoulders and back.

Regular pilates exercises can correct body posture, relax waist and neck, solve shoulder problems and tighten loose muscles in arms and abdomen. Many professional athletes also use Pilates to avoid sports injuries.
