Pilates exercises do not require a lot of repetitions to feel the effects. The exercises I select for each client are specific to their rehab, fitness, or sport specific needs. Pilates exercises requires focus on getting the brain to fire the correct muscles for a particular activity. Pilates emphasizes the concept of a strong center that provides the core stability your body needs during daily activity.

This is how your body moves during daily activity as well.
