• Pilates is three-dimensional (i.e. exercises can be performed using all movement planes)
• Spring resistance more closely resembles muscular contraction
• Tighten abs and lower body emphasis on concentric/eccentric contraction for injury prevention. Emphasis is placed on rebalancing muscles around the joints Pilates corrects over-training and muscle imbalance that leads to injury.
