<p>Pilates is arguably one of the trendiest workouts right now, with celebrities locally and abroad posting photos of themselves in stretchy poses, sometimes suspended in the air in a complicated looking machine. If you aren’t already hooked on it, you’ve probably tried a session or two of pilates—a low impact exercise that helps improve strength and flexibility. But there’s so many more benefits to take away from this workout that it easily becomes a go-to for a lot of people—from muscle improvement to core strength, to form correction, to, of course, weight loss.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/66a445d9-6345-4fd6-ab94-c4b8f375f515_logan-weaver-amgv9yug-ma-unsplash.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/wellness/fitness/why-is-pilates-famous-among-korean-celebrities/30774" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This Is Why Pilates Is Such A Hit Among Korean Stars</a></div><p>While there are a lot of amazing pilates studios in the metro, it&#x27;s no surprise that the on-going pandemic has indefinitely put a halt on people’s regular attendance to actual classes.
