As a professional gardener who enjoys running, my fitness is important to me. Pilates has strengthened my abdominal muscles so my back is better protected when I’m working, and when I’m running longer distances I can retain my form so I don’t “fade” towards the end. Because of my active lifestyle I have regular sports massage and my massage therapist has noticed a marked improvement in my muscle tone since I’ve been doing Pilates.”
