Pilates power: 8-Week program boosts fitness in sedentary women

This study looked at whether doing Reformer Pilates for 8 weeks (twice a week, 50 minutes each) could improve strength, balance, and quality of life in women who don't exercise regularly. 57 sedentary women took part, with half doing Pilates and the other half continuing their normal routine. The goal was to see if this type of exercise helps with everyday movement and well-being.
