| | | | | | | What if you could get the results you want — minus the exhaustion, sweat, and soreness of typical fitness programs? | | What if you could get these results at home? In just 10 minutes? |
| | | Based on the fitness method that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s to help ballerina dancers recover from injuries, Pilates pretty much does it all. | | And we mean ALL. | | That’s especially true if you’re over 40. In fact, a review of 10 different studies found that Pilates may be one of the best forms of exercise for women older than 40 because it helps you to: | | | | Get fit with less fuss. For a Pilates mat session, all you need: your body and a light pair of dumbbells. It really doesn’t get any simpler than that. |
|
| | | | Shape long, lean, firm muscles while you’re lying down. You’ll do many moves while on your back or your side. |
|
| | | | Flatten your belly — without doing a single crunch. In Pilates, you target your deep core muscles while also strengthening your arms or legs. |
|
| | | | Slim down without breaking a sweat. Slow, tiny Pilates movements will make you feel as if you are barely moving. But don’t be fooled because tiny movements lead to big results. Here’s the proof: Overweight women who did Pilates just 3 times a week for 8 weeks shed fat and lost pounds, while women who didn’t do this form of exercise gained weight, found one study. |
|
| | | | Melt away tension, tightness, and pain. This should come as no surprise, since Pilates was specifically developed to help people with injuries. |

| | | We want you to be able to experience the power of Pilates for yourself — at home. | | Prevention teamed up with fitness pro Amy Kiser Schemper, MS, CPT, to create 10-Minute Pilates. This video fitness program includes six 10-minute workouts to target every inch of your body. |
