WHAT IS PILATES MATWORK?
Pilates matwork is a series of exercises that are performed on a mat or a padded surface. These exercises were developed by Joseph Pilates and are designed to improve strength, flexibility, posture, balance, and overall fitness. Pilates matwork involves a series of movements that target the muscles of the core, including the abdominals, back, and hips. The exercises are typically performed in a controlled and precise manner, emphasising the quality of movement over quantity.
Some common Pilates mat exercises include the hundred, roll-ups, spine stretch, single-leg stretch, double-leg stretch, criss-cross, and the plank. Pilates matwork can be modified for individuals with different fitness levels, making it accessible for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
