Today, life has become so monotonous and routine. We find ourselves busy every hour doing either personal or professional tasks. At the end of the day when we reflect on the day we start wondering where did the “me” time go. In the middle of all that craziness we struggle to find sometime to keep ourselves fit. Earlier, we used to be physically active, be it going outdoors and playing or doing our household chores. Today, the sedentary life style has taken over leading to stress, anxiety and physical ailments. 

Unless we are physically fit we are not going to have enough energy to deal with the expectations of our daily life. Bending to pick up heavy items off the floor, turning around to see over the shoulders, long hours of sitting in front of the computers all exerts pressure on our body in subtle and not so subtle ways. Hence, it is important for us to build in that flexibility and mobility to relax our muscles and build our core. 

A proper core helps build that balance and stability so we can do the daily tasks without much of discomfort. Pilates is a system of exercise aimed at building the core strength, correcting postures, building muscular strength that helps us in effective movements.
